Rubble Kings

"Rubble Kings" is a documentary film from 2010 by Shan Nicholson about the street gangs of New York City during the 1970's, basically what was the inspiration for "The Warriors."  I have yet to see the movie, but the recently released "Rubble Kings" album, a collection of songs inspired by it and produced by Little Shalimar is fantastic.  A mix of 70's funk and soul, and featuring rap verses from the likes of Run the Jewels, Bun B, and more, this record is a monster.  Currently, you can download the whole thing for free from Adult Swim and get the vinyl from Mass Appeal.  Below, listen to "Savage Habits" featuring Bun B, Killer Mike, and Cuz Lightyear, and then check out the grooving instrumental "Edge of the Edge."
