A couple of HOT hip hop bangers for ya 2day. Props 2 FSD once again for their periodic drops of old, yet unreleased material - this feature track coming from our boy Lupe Fiasco; a harder, bangin’ type track with help from a hard piano. I like it, especially with a couple well-placed name drops of Rosa Parks and rapper Fabolous in the last verse. Def a MUST-DL, as well as the latest from DMX down below. Him and Freeway flow real nicely over a unique horn-based beat that isn’t really DMX’s typical style, yet he adapts 2 it nicely. Furthermore, check out the CDQ version of Robin Thicke’s “Magic” and a Casely feature that is a nice track as well. And finally, this might be bad for Pharrell, but he pushed a dude off stage and well, its still kinda funny. Haha, enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Track from the lost album, World Record Holders*Tibs Fav.
Props 2 FSD for their track by track leak of a “lost” album by the Go Getters (Kanye West, GLC, & Really Doe) called World Record Holders. The title track is up above and it’s another hot one by the Chicago rappers. It is also interesting 2 see the growth in Kanye from a track like this (from years ago apparently) 2 how he is 2day. Def a MUST-DL above! Below are some NEW trax f/ Lil’ Wayne and R&B singers Ryan Leslie, Digga (really feelin’ the NEW version of “Broken”), & Ashanti! Along w/ those, peep the Roscoe Umali video premiere and Atmosphere LIVE @ Conan! Off 2 the Glow In The Dark Tour in Chicago 2nite! JYEA! Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold*Tibs Fav.
The NEW album from Minneapolis hip hop group Atmosphere will be released this Tuesday (the 22nd) and above is a track from that album that I’m really likin called “In Her Music Box”! It concludes the album and Slug had this 2 say about the track,
“It’s about a little girl who learned how to use and abuse escapism through music. It finishes the story [of the album]. When we made this song, I knew the minute it was finished it would be the last song on the album.”
You can read full track by track comments like the one above for the whole album by Atmosphere HERE!
Below, we got the latest from CHI-Town’s own Yung Berg with Fabolous, Young Buck, Snoop, & The Outlawz, and a video premiere from Buckshot, 9th Wonder, Talib Kweli, & Tyler Woods! Enjoy!
DL the NEW Atmosphere EP, Sad Clown Bad Spring 12 as it is more heat from Atmosphere that gets their fans even more pumped for their upcoming album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold! One of the singles from that album, “Guarantees” (DL by clicking the Atmosphere tag) now has a music video that was also released 2day! Also, u gotta DL the NEW Ludacris track that lyrically describes the breakup and 2getherness of celebrities and musicians in the business. That’s the Luda I like and hopefully it’ll appear on the upcoming album, Theatre Of The Mind! Enjoy!
