It's been about time I've gotten back on my blog shit. College season is back, that means time for me to have Wiz Khalifa on repeat on my iPod for the next few months. Being the person who introduced Wiz to all my friends back when he was unknown to nearly all of the hip-hop population, I feel obligated to introduce all new fans or 'Taylors' as Wiz would call them to the music that brought him to where he is today. Being one of the originals who was around back then, I would say maybe 10%... Continue reading ...

One of my favorite white boy rappers Tom P is back with his latest single 'Drunk Girls' bringing along some respectable features Nappy Roots and Aleon Craft. Tom P has the best flow for a white rapper that I've heard since the old Eminem a decade ago. Don't believe me? Check out the Intro to his last mixtape Root for the Underdog.
'Drunk Girls' is a great single for fans to start hyping up for his next mixtape which is TBA. I was waiting for Tom P to get some more co-signs from credible ... Continue reading ...

For those of you living under a rock, Ye-Z's much hyped album Watch The Throne dropped yesterday. 'Niggas in Paris' was one of those "oh shit" tracks from the album. They sampled the movie Blades of Glory, Ye and Jay are the only people in the world who could pull that off. The beat is pistachios and it's one of tracks where you could see Jay take over the spotlight. I had my skepticism of WTT but the two delivered and gave me a near classic album. This will be the only song I will be pos... Continue reading ...

In the late hours Mr. Ocean took to his tumblr and released this song. Even though Frank Ocean hasn't released many songs yet, he already got the nod from me. In 'Thinking About You' Frank brings out the out high pitched voice, not sure how I feel about it, it's different but is it dope?

Alright I will admit, this is the best I've heard from Game in years. Is it enough to save his album? Absolutely not. His mainstream single 'Pot of Gold' isn't even on iTunes top 200 songs being sold. I don't see Game selling more than 100k RED albums. If he does congrats, his name is getting worn out and if name dropping is the only thing keeping him alive at this point, the man has many things to worry about. Red is the color of death, this album is dead.

Well it's Chris Brown doing what he does best. I always thought he sounds best doing slow R&B rather than techno pop. Don't get me started on his rapping, after hearing he's doing an all rap mixtape, that's just embarrassing. Supposedly if this song got leaked, he wasn't going to put it on his next album Fortune. C'mon Chris, everything gets leaked, leaks help keep your name buzzing. Just accept it and roll with it. This is real good too.

Sounds like we get another J. Cole hit on our hands. Not known yet if this will appear on 'Cole World: The Sideline Story', but having Trey Songz on the album definitely is a reach towards mainstream success. But now knowing true fans of Cole, putting a mainstream RnB artist on a song means he's "selling out"...whatever that means nowadays.

While Smoke DZA is preparing for his album RollingStoned, which is being released on August 30, we hear the first single 'On the Corner' featuring Bun-B & Big KRIT. This is a real dope combination of artists. Big KRITS southern chorus blends right into DZA & Bun's verses real good. A good laid back tune to listen to as we are winding down to the end of summer.

First the Meek Mill version hit the webs yesterday. Then the Rick Ross verse was added to 'Work' but with tags on it. Now the CDQ/Tagless version has hit the webs. Need to hear Meek Mill over a different type beat soon, or he's going to be written off. Hanging with Rick Ross can cause a dumbing down of lyrics and excessive weight gain.

Another day another release from the trio. I believe this is the 5th track that has appeared now, the mixtape Big Sean said is coming should show up anytime now. I gotta say Curren$y has been running away with the best verses on nearly every release. 'Proceed' like the previous tracks as a whole, is shrug worthy and if people aren't already fans, it's not going to bring in anyone new. I was expecting more dopeness from these 3 but nothing has phased me yet. Hopefully the mixtape will prov... Continue reading ...

With eveyone questioning if TM 103 will ever get released. Jeezy deads those questions with the first single 'Shake Life'. All we've heard from him on the mixtapes were hard street songs. This is a major change from that. You know I was gonna hate on this, but fuck it, I can't. This is real dope, TM 103 on the way.

The mediocre supergroup has been releasing quite a few tracks together. Big Sean hinted that they will be dropping a mixtape soon. Haven't heard anything groundbreaking from the trio yet, but this is pretty dope. Their whole mixtape will be a great weed smoking session. This is the first song I've ever heard dedicated to weed brownies I must say. Produced by Big Jerm.

We heard about this collaboration for months now. But best friends Pusha T & Tyler the Creator premiered 'Trouble on my Mind' on RedBull. This will appear on Fear of God Part 2: Let Us Pray which will be released on August 23rd. I actually like Pusha T being a mentor for Tyler the Creator. Tyler's not anything great on the mic but their styles blend well.

Holy crap. Trae the Truth coming in big for the fourth. The only track I was excited for on Trae the Truth 'Street King'. I was wondering how MDMA would fit into the song, but it's just the repetitive chorus. If this song wasn't hosted by Trae it would be a smash. No hate, Trae doesn't have mainstream appeal due to his abnormally deep voice, but this a great shot. Trae came in and stole July 4th for himself. Lupe Fiasco & Wale were the brightest because they fit in with the beat the best.... Continue reading ...

Two of the new recently signed artists from the powerhouses YMCMB & MMG formed together on such a clever name for a track. Both of these artists still have grow and get much more exposure before they will become front runners for both groups.
Gunz has taken quite a while to get his name out and his tv show helped him do it. I don't think he has the mic skills or appeal to really takeover but he has done well. I really haven't heard much from Meek Mill to have an opinion on him. We've ... Continue reading ...

Another Lamar sighting. 'Hol' Up' is the next track that will appear on an upcoming mixtape, #Section80, which Lamar announced will be dropping on July 2nd. Behind J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar is an artist that I'm anxiously waiting for his debut studio album. Even though that album won't be released until 2012. 'Hol' Up' is produced by Sounwave who provides a hypnotizing horn & drum beat. With the cuts that we've been hearing lately, #Section80 looks to be a very quality mixtape release.

I'm still waiting for that record that will spark his career. (Get it?) K. Sparks & Jeff Chery are very alike to me. Both will ge... Continue reading ...

I've got mad respect for Miller. He's managing to sell on iTunes without the help of a major label and little promotions. The kid is maturing also. I used to view him as just another weed rapper, but it's tracks like this that gives me hopes. No word on where this will end up, presumably an upcoming mixtape. 'Family Fi... Continue reading ...

XV is celebrating reaching 30,000 views on twitter. This song is a little weird for me, but he can spit alongside the best of him. The chorus is pretty bad on this, but it's still a good song, especially the lyrical side. XV has the ability to relate with not only rap nerds but also video game nerds and the average college student. But seriously, he needs to be working on that album. C'mon Warner Bros. get your shit together, like J. Cole we have to wait years for a debut album

Another day, another Cole leak. Let's see how this one plays out. Cheer Up is an unconfirmed track on his upcoming album. According to various blogs it will be. I'm digging this one almost as much as 'Lost Ones' and definitely more than the single 'Work Out'. Are the songs that we are hearing pumping you up for the album?

I'm voting this song has the best opening ever. We heard these two were in the studio and this is the end result. 'Ronald Reagan Era' will appear on Lamar's #Section 80. Lamar is giving Cole a run for his money for best new artist. Go back in time and visit the 80's with 'Ronald Reagan Era'.

Hold up one goddamn minute! Is that 50 Cent rocking Jerry Curls? I don't know what goes on in his mind, either he is a genius or a wack job. A couple months ago we had 50 sending out youtube 'Freestyles' everyday for like 2 weeks straight, sending shots at Shyne, and promoting Sleek heaphones. Then he just disappeared for a while. Well it looks like he's back with the first single off his upcoming LP 'Outlaw'.

The other day we were treated to 'Lost Ones' a track that is going to appear on J. Cole's debut album. Now we finally get J. Cole's debut single 'Work Out'. Well it's finally here. How do we feel about this track as the single? Sampling Kanye West's 'The New Workout Plan' & Paula Abdul's 'Straight Up'. For me 'Lost Ones' blows this track out the water, but this has the potential to be on the radio. I'm digging the samples though. Not exactly what I had pictured in my mind, but we will hav...

One of the more interesting tracks off of Big Sean's Finally Famous album dropping June 28th. This one features Lupe Fiasco. Lupe outperforms Sean lyrically on this one. Frankly the chorus lulls the listener a bit. Listening to the beat I'm assuming this one has No ID's written all over it. (Yup, No ID & Exile). The discussion of whether or not hip-hop blogs should be posting leaks has been on the rise especially since the man at RefinedHype expressed his opinion. He brought up a good poi...

Normally for any other artist I would wait until the next day to post a track that dropped at night. J. Cole is the exception though. One of his most hyped track on his upcoming album that was made a few years ago has appeared on the web. There has been doubt created that J. Cole wouldn't live up to the hype. That his same flow, same content was killing his buzz. Well, after an extremely long wait we finally get to hear something from the album. In my opinion it is the perfect time for ne...

Unlike the last few tracks that was released this one isn't half bad though. The chorus is catchy and will get obsessed from all of her female followers. I wish she would go back to straight rapping, but she had her studio singing voice fixed so it doesn't sound half bad and this is how she is going to get records sold. Pop sells so if that what she ... Continue reading ...

What a great way to start. We get another freebie from Drake today and of course it is produced by 40. 'Marvin's Room' is another singing/rapping song where Drake transitions from one to the other quite well I'd have to say. I don't know who Marvin is, but he's must have gotten on Drake's bad side.
One problem I have had with any of Drake's latest music is it's the same topic over and over. I'm quite tired of the hardships of the champagne life. This cut focuses more on love, but it's... Continue reading ...
