HipHopDX Premiere: As he diligently searches through stacks of vinyl at a record store, Bronx native and Four Elements & Beyond (F.E.B.) MC/producer Freak Tha Monsta spits some classic sounding Hip Hop in his new video for “Can You Dig It?.” Featuring cuts from DJ Akil, “Can You Dig It?” is the lead single from his upcoming solo release, Slanguage Arts, his follow-up to 2014’s Jackson Brolick, which boasted a collaboration with Apathy of Demigodz.

His new project includes contributions from artists such as Tragedy Khadafi, Chris Rivers, DJ Shylow, DJ Akil, fellow F.E.B. members Miggs Son Daddy and Werd Life.

“Can You Dig It?,” a clear nod to the 1979 cult classic film The Warriors, finds Tha Monsta rapping from the perspective of a record and seamlessly weaving the names of 15 New York City record stores of past and present into the lyrics. Check out the video above.
