Long time fan of most of their work, I'm sure most people are aware of them by now.
Both artists recently released individual EPs and as far as Heems' efforts go I think it's pretty great. Anyone familiar with DR's affiliates (and Def Jux for that matter) would appreciate the instrumentals and additional artists such as Danny Brown, Despot and Lakutis. I really enjoyed a lot of the samples throughout the album however not every song is entirely engaging and thrilling, but there's some great stuff on here so I'd recommend it to anyone.
As far as Kool A.D.'s EP goes I haven't listened to it yet as he uploaded it earlier this month to megaupload and I haven't noticed it anywhere else (although in all honesty I haven't tried exceptionally hard to find it). If anyone's got their hands on it I'd appreciate if you could toss it my way.
Anyhow, I've been following these guys for quite a while and it's awesome to see more and more NY artists evolving around these guys. It seems like Despot has put in more verses for DR than any solo efforts.
Edit: For anyone unaware of this trio, however, I figured I'd include a link to a song or two:

Sit Down, Man featuring El-P (instrumental by Scoop DeVille of Get Busy Committee)
