Honestly, I’m feelin’ this NEW track from our boy S-Preme more than anything else below. There’s nothing special below, so if u choose one track 2 DL 2day, make it the one above by the up and coming Chicago workaholic, S-Preme! It’s a fresh, fresh track with a unique beat and S-Preme changing styles and flows throughout. He got me immediately with his lil’ intro transition into the first verse that was just dope. Takes a couple listens 2 fully grasp the lyrics/punchlines (rectum one was great) and finally, he goes ridiculous in the last 30 seconds or so. Another professional track by S-Preme above, who deserves 2 keep blowin’ up! Below, like I said, nothin’ special, but some big names like Young Jeezy, Ice Cube, Ne-Yo, Joe, & MORE as well as some interesting videos 2 peep! Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, 1st single off upcoming album, Murs 4 President*Tibs Fav.™
Quick hip hop update here with the latest from Murs up above! He impresses with some social commentary and clear flow, which makes for a nice track 2 have on when ur in a reflecting mood, haha. Down below is also the latest from Blu of Blu & Exile and a couple videos featuring A Tribe Called Quest @ Rock The Bells in NYC and Freeway showin’ some skills in the parking lot. Enjoy!
The above video is an interesting one featuring Lupe Fiasco - an interesting, well done piece on black skateboarders in NYC, featuring a lil’ cameo by Lupe Fiasco describing his skateboarding anthem, “Kick, Push”. The skaters discuss its impact and relevance on skateboarding since the release and the video also includes footage of some neat tricks, of course!
Mikkey Halsted Freestyle
Ben One “Never Leave My Girl” f/ Shawnna
VIDEO PREMIERE!
Blu & Exile LIVE @ The Henry Fonda Music Box
Above are a few videos of some up and coming artists - CHI-Town’s own Mikkey Halsted ripping a sick freestyle, fellow Chicago artist - Ben One with his first video premiere featuring Shawnna, and a Blu & Exile LIVE performance! Below u can check out a few NEW trax with the highlight including the fly T.I. pictured below on the remix of the next Mariah Carey single, “I’ll Be Loving U Long Time”. I’ve never been thaaat high on Mariah, but I love everything T.I. and this track is definitely a nice one as T.I. (not T.I.P.) rips his verse with his usual lady-friendly swag and fits in over the laid-back DJ Toomp beat nicely. Sry for such a short blurb, but I’ma call it 1 soon. Big ups 2 KG, The Truth, Ray Allen & the Boston Celtics for winning the franchise’s 17th NBA Championship in dominant fashion (hence the Celtic green for 2day’s links.. haha!) Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Track from the lost album, World Record Holders*Tibs Fav.
TON of hip hop for ya’ll 2day, comin’ heavy from the Chi-City with the latest from the Go Getters (Kanye West, GLC, Really Doe, with Arrowstar). I’m feelin’ this track a lil’ more than the other 2 that have been released (big ups again 2 FSD!) and it’s still weird/cool 2 hear Kanye pre-accident! U should DL just 2 compare those changes… and check out some of the rest of the Chicago flava with Rhymefest, GLC, & the breakout track from Mikkey Halsted, produced by Kanye West! And ya’ll HAVE 2 DL the NEW Nas track, “Black President”, a conscious track based freshly off the recent event of Barack Obama winning the democratic presidential candidacy! DJ Green Lantern chops it up smoothly with snippets from Obama’s speech and the famous 2Pac line from “Changes” / “I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto” - “We ain’t ready 2 have a black pres-i-dent.”. Sick. And definitely check out some real solid trax from Blu of Blu & Exile, and Styles P and his trio The LOX! Enjoy!
P.S. How fly do those links look below? Unintentional at first, haha.
***NEW Link*** FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, Rising Down *Tibs Fav.
OMG! Please do ur ears a favor and DL the NEW Roots track above! Such a unique sound, great verses, even greater chorus to hook u in on 1st listen and I officially can’t wait until April 29th when Rising Down hits stores (as well as Estelle’s Shine and GTA4, which my roomy is getting, haha!) But yeah, just ridiculous. Anyway, a TON of NEW content for ya below, some dating back 2 Monday even, as we were quite busy typing up the GemStones Interview and putting the finishing touches on our NEW-Look site (thx for the love everyone!). But yeah, check out the latest trax from The Cool Kids, Talib Kweli, Eminem & D12, and some R&B f/ R. Kelly, Jamie Foxx & MORE! Also a bunch of videos for ur viewing pleasure while u wait 2 DL the trax… Alicia Keys (looking quite beautiful I might add - sweet vid), The Roots, Kidz In The Hall, & an interesting Kanye West video! Enjoy!
Finally, as another special thanks to Brian for helping us set up what you see before you, DL a recent (Yes, I know it’s been out for a lil bit…) track by 2 of his favorite artists of all-time - Mariah Carey & R. Kelly with the “Touch My Body RMX” Haha! Enjoy!

Sry for the delayed update (internet uploading very very slow), but it comes with a lot of content! Included is the MUST-DL mixtape from Blu of Blu & Exile, another really good conscious rapper that we love 2 promote here at GWHH! Some of the trax have been posted already but the mixtape as a whole is real nice and without DJ shoutouts. Below, you can check out a few NEW audio trax f/ 50 Cent, Young Buck over “Hip-Hop Saved My Life”, & R&B singer Lloyd! And then there are a ton of cool, NEW videos including the latest 2 from the Graduation Listening Experience from Kanye West and a few LIVE performances/videos featuring Kanye, Lupe, Mickey Factz & The Cool Kids, & Talib Kweli! Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, 1st Single off of upcoming album, First Impression*Tibs Fav.
If you haven’t heard of G.O.O.D. Music artist Really Doe (above, right), well now you will because the track above is a MUST-DL! Sick beat, sick verses from the Chicago rapper and oh yeah, Mr. Kanye West! Any hip hop fan would enjoy that track. Also below there are 2 more HOT NEW trax by the Go’s R&B group One Chance and the first single off of Beyonce’s 3rd album! Below that check out the day’s news and videos! Enjoy!
Finally, the L.A. Times issued an apology for their false story last week on the 2Pac NYC Quad shooting that accused Diddy as part of the set up. The information given to them was wrong and well, they don’t look very smart after this at all. The mysteries surrounding 2Pac and Biggie’s death still remain such. Click HERE for the full story!
Producer: Just Blaze - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming MCEO Mixtape (dropping Monday!) *Tibs Fav.
Some HOT, NEW trax for ya ears - the 1st courtesy of Talib Kweli, who dropped the “Hostile Gospel RMX” f/ Joell Ortiz and Blu! I like the RMX in its own right w/ Blu especially tearin’ up the mic! Common is also featured on another hot hip hop track by Skillz below! Kidz In The Hall have a NEW track that is prolly my fav. of theirs and for ur R&B fix, another Day 26/B. Cox joint has leaked and it’s another sweet track! I also put up a Prima J REQUESTED track - note that I couldn’t find the other requests, sry 2 those ppl but those songs are impossible 2 find, haha! G/l finding those and enjoy!
Kind of a slow day for some real good new tunes, but I am really feelin’ the FULL version of “I’m Ya Man” by up and comer Francisco (R&B)! In addition 2 the Francisco track, check out the latest from fellow up and comers Jay Sean, Ray Lavender (f/ Akon), and a hip hop track for ya from Cleveland’s Chip Tha Ripper! Finally, peep the behind the scenes look at the video for “MyBoyBlu” - the creative song by Blu of Blu and Exile! Enjoy!
as they posted a jersey I submitted and did us a great favor in linking us this way, so I only feel I should do the same, in addition 2 tellin ya about the site. People take pictures of random sports jerseys they see of old, bad, retired players and they post them along with some funny commentary. The site is so popular they earned a feature on Espn.com’s Page 2! So check them out above, and thanks again!
One FINAL thing, check out the Last Call with Carson Daly 2nite… not for him of course, but for Lupe Fiasco AND Nikki Jean as they will be performing “Hip-Hop Saved My Life”! And I think Lu might be doin’ “Paris, Tokyo” as well. Stay up late and tune in - 1:35 ET, 12:35 CT (after Conan!)
Above is the VIDEO PREMIERE 2 my boy Trey Songz’ latest single “The Last Time” (prod. by Bryan-Michael Cox)! Ironically, I just put in Trey Day again yesterday, gettin’ psyched for Sunday when I am likely going 2 see Trey Songz in concert since he’s rollin thru Minneapolis! “The Last Time” was one of the songs I threw on repeat again, haha. I really like the video as well - tells a great story, along w/ the lyrics and just wow @ the 2 girls, haha! Not sure it can blow up as huge as “Can’t Help But Wait”, but it should still get a lot of exposure from the momentum of CHBW’s success!
Below is the NEW audio, some hip hop from KRS-One & Blu as well as some R&B featuring Lloyd, snippets from Ne-Yo, One Chance, & Francisco, & MORE! AND we got some requests featuring Lupe Fiasco and the Michael Jackson/Kanye West collabo! (NOTE: I don’t know of the song “T.I.M.E.” by Lupe Fiasco and I have every Lupe song I could find. Any more info about that would be great.. sry for the delay on getting these requests up!) Enjoy!
