Veteran lyricist Reef the Lost Cauze was one of a host of artists to bless fans with new music on Christmas. Titled Reef the Lost Cauze Is Dead, the project’s namesake and artwork is a play on De La Soul’s classic 1991 album De La Soul Is Dead. This serves as a follow up to the Philly MC’s 2011 joint album with German production crew the Snowgoons, Your Favorite MC.

With the exception of one track, Reef the Lost Cauze Is Dead was produced solely by beatsmith Caliph-NOW, while track 10 was crafted by Dumhi. The album, mixtape or whatever you’d like to call it features 16 strong tracks that’ll make fans inquire why Reef the Lost Cauze remains so underrated.
Aside from being a talented MC, Reef the Lost Cauze makes it a priority to speak for a greater purpose when possible. He was actually one of a few artists to dedicate a song, titled “The Prey (For Trayvon & My Son),” to the memory of Trayvon Martin earlier this year.

Following the phenomenal success of Psy’s Gangnam Style, US rapper Cassidy has a released a video of his parody track, Condom Style.

The Philadelphia-based hip-hop artist has uploaded the song, which promotes the importance of safe sex, online.

In the four-minute video, Cassidy, born Barry Adrian Reese, raps about the dangers of unprotected sex while handing out condoms on the streets.

The 30-year-old star also spreads the word using billboards and his lorry, embellished with the safe sex message.

He has reportedly earned $7m after signing an endorsement deal with condom maker Trojan.

“I would like to make a public service announcement,” he says at the start of the music video. “There are a lot of diseases going around that are deadly and there is not coming back from that. So I need you all to know that if you are going to have sex you have got to wear a condom.”
