Producer: Timbaland - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, In A Perfect World… *Tibs Fav.™
Above is a brand NEW track from my girl Keri Hilson featuring her mentor Timbaland! It’s got a nice Timbo beat and equally nice lyrics; the duet reminds me of the Nelly Furtado / Timbaland mega-hit “Promiscuous”, but it’s not as dumbed-down, yet also not as catchy. Either way, it’s a good track and Keri’s debut album should hit stores this fall! Down below is some more trax from the Saturday - starting w/ a real nice slow jam from Ne-Yo, and the rest featuring many hip hop artists that are not mainstream names, yet still doin’ their thing. Peep them below and DL what u like. Enjoy!
Fyi, Sunday is another travel day for me; updates from me will be sparse, but as always, I’ll try and get a big update up sometime later in the day!
The hip hop heads should already be familiar with the ATL’s Stat Quo, who was a rapper I first heard a few yrs ago and liked everything he was droppin. He is still with Shady/Aftermath from what I heard, but his debut album, Statlanta, has been constantly delayed and while it has apparently been completed for awhile, the label has yet 2 release it. The song above is Stat telling that story, along with other stories about his journey in the industry, Proof’s death, & more! Some pretty heartfelt lyrics attracted me right away on the 1st listen and reminded me why I liked Stat Quo in the first place. So if ur a big hip hop head, def give Stat a chance and DL 2day’s feature track above! Below, plenty more hip hop and R&B.. some thoughts on the trax below… Twista kills “The Business RMX”, Songz kills the hook on “Love For Money”, & I’m tryin’ 2 love Chris Brown’s “Captive”, but its slightly disturbing me that the song is in fact written in a girl’s perspective (a demo for the Pussycat Dolls… I can see Nicole S. on that Polow beat makin’ the radio for sure…). There’s also a couple videos featuring more from hip hop with Kidz In The Hall & Skillz! Enjoy!
Honestly, a somewhat forgettable update here, with a couple T.I. videos kicking it off, with a lil’ message about the passing of Bernie Mac this past weekend. Down below are a few decent trax that u may like featuring some hip hop with Trick Daddy & Crooked I, as well as an extended RMX of Slim’s “So Fly” f/ various rappers and a NEW track from R&B singer, Sterling Simms! There’s a few more videos 2 check out below, including a behind the scenes look at Maino’s “Hi Hater”, an inside look w/ The Clipse, & an interview with famous producer, DJ Toomp! Enjoy!
***NOTE: We are temporarily goin’ back 2 Mediafire for trax since many of our international visitors are having trouble DLing w/ zShare. Hope that helps!
Producer: Drumma Boy - FULL, CDQ, Rumored track off upcoming album, Paper Trail*Tibs Fav.™
Happy Independence Day with a TON of NEW trax, including the latest from T.I.P. up above.. He goes a lil’ slow flow on the chorus, trying 2 recapture some “What You Know” magic, and I think it is effective on first-listen, but we’ll see how long that lasts. It is a quality track that the T.I. fans should enjoy and it could very well be the first single off Paper Trail. Down below, u gotta DL a couple trax from Chicago artists - Naledge & Malik Yusef. The Malik Yusef is pretty much a spoken word and it’s pretty cool. Both are MUST-DLs. And finally, check out the boatload of NEW R&B trax (in large part, thanks 2 Urban Music) featuring Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Lloyd, Mario, Bobby Valentino, & MORE! I still need more listens, but on first listen.. Mario “Do For Love” & Trey Songz “High Definition” I’m really feelin’. We’ll see how that develops over time, but u should judge for yourself and DL above & below, in addition 2 a couple videos f/ Mariah Carey, T.I., & The Cool Kids at the bottom! Enjoy!
Producer: Fabrizio Sotti - FULL, CDQ, Track off 2006 album, Confidential*Tibs Fav.
Old School Sundays, happenin kinda late I know, but it’s up with a MUST-DOWNLOAD hip hop track above! The mainstream hip hop fans might not be familiar with the hip hop duo Dead Prez, but they are well-respected throughout hip hop and the track above is by 1/2 of the duo M-1 with guest verses and vocals from K’naan & Stori James. The track came out in 2006 and I was actually introduced to it on the NBA Live 07 soundtrack, haha. But it is a great track that was one of my Tibs Favs Of 2006! I just love the message and the awesome chorus in this song and all you hip hop fans gotta DL this great example of good hip hop!
Below is a video that my roomy and his buddies made back in the summer of last year as they wrote a ridiculous rap song for the fun of it. Haha, it’s got some hilarious one-liners and u should def check it out. Below that, we flip from Old School 2 New School as Estelle hits us with another hot track f/ Cee-Lo of Gnarls Barkley and Chingy & Bobby Valentino’s new collaboration hit the States from the Japanese version of Chingy’s album, Hate It Or Love It! Enjoy!
HUGE Update for u late nite viewers (Note that Tuesdays and Thursdays are my real busy days and I won’t be able 2 update til late nite…) Anyway, above is a supposed unreleased old school Lupe Fiasco track, with the literal title haha. From what I can tell no one knows where it is from but it is either from before Food & Liquor or just a NEW, recent track… either way, I’ve never heard it and I have all the Lupe songs I see and its a straight up ridiculous beat and track overall! Scroll down below for a bunch of Tibs Favs, including the “Ghetto Rich RMX” and HQ version of Usher’s NEW single “Love In The Club” as well as the video premiere 2 Chingy’s latest single, “Gimme Dat” f/ Bobby Valentino and Ludacris! I kno Chingy is not well-liked but he holds his own and the features and beat make that track a good one. Enjoy!
Whoo, above is a HOT hip hop track featuring some of CHI-Town’s finest - Kanye West & Common. It is by the Chicago spoken word, composer, and musical artist Malik Yusef! Lovin’ the vibe and beat 2 it and Common’s verse is my personal favorite in it. Below you can check out a video of a Mary J. Blige and Ne-Yo performance from Super Bowl weekend (and peep the related performance videos by double clicking the video and viewing them on the side). Below that you can DL a few new R&B trax… a couple Chris Brown snippets and a cover of “One Call Away” - the hit song by Chingy - by Danny Fernandes. “One Call Away” was one of my favorites when it came out in 2003 and Danny Fernandes is great over the track as he performs the original chorus and sings new verses! And finally, we got a Yolanda Adams request, and you can see yours up as well if u request it in our ShoutBox! Enjoy!
Btw, I know I was waaay off on the Super Bowl prediction, haha, but wow, what a game! I’m still kind of shocked the day after.. for sure still shocked on that Tyree catch, hats off 2 the Giants tho for their Super Bowl W!
