Here’s a sweet slow banger from Chicago’s Bump J w/ Trey Songz on the hook! The slow flow of Bump J compliments the real nice slow hip hop jam and this is yet another example of Trey Songz shining on the hook, “..From the Chi 2 the V, gotta know who we be, it’s the Prince and the G for life!” Also be sure 2 check out featured trax from heavyweights Jay-Z & Lil’ Wayne as well as a GWHH Exclusive video premiere of Hi-Tek & Chip Tha Ripper in studio! Enjoy!

Shouts 2 our boy Kev from S.L.A.B. Entertainment for comin’ thru w/ a special, GWHH exclusive by Chip Tha Ripper - a RMX of the T-Wayne hit “Can’t Believe It”! I was never a fan of the original, but I gotta respect the rhymes and flow of Chip on this one! Don’t sleep on the Cleveland bred rapper, who will be performing with Kid Cudi on Monday at the Evil Olive on Monday! Down below, some more NEW trax for ya ears featuring the “Love Lockdown” A Capella and Trey Songz killin’ yet another hit song with his cover of “What Them Girls Like”! Don’t forget the couple video premieres as well! Enjoy!
Oooh, Consequence just hit everyone w/ an e-mail as he posted a ConsTV exclusive! The video below is of him and Kanye in the studio, workin’ on 808’s & Heartbreak! Enjoy!
It’s here! Chip Tha Ripper’s long awaited mixtape (thx 2 DJ E-V, Kev, Chip for everything) and it’s a great representation of all the hard work Chip has put in lately. It really shows Chip’s growth compared to some of his old stuff and he’s only gettin’ better. The mixtape release party is THURSDAY out in Cleveland - at the Grog Shop, so if ur in the area, head out there where they will be handing out physical copies of the mixtape and t-shirts (and I’d assume a performance from Chip himself..!). Don’t forget that 2day is Mixtape Messiah day as well - as you gotta head over 2 Chamillionaire.com2 purchase the mixtape! (Watch the video below for more reason to do so.) Also check out tracks and vids featuring the Gym Class Heroes, The Game, Crooked I, Danja, & MORE! Enjoy!
***UPDATE: Added some Ne-Yo Trax 2 this post real quick…!
Shouts once again 2 Kev from S.L.A.B. Entertainment for hookin’ us up w/ the exclusive Chip Tha Ripper track, “Nigga Like Dat”, as well as the debut of the official cover art for the Can’t Stop Me mixtape above, which I gotta add is pretty sick. The track itself has very nice production - more of a medium/slow tempo 2 the beat, which allows Chip 2 really catch your ear on first listen. I like his laid-back flow, which speeds up around 2:10 for the best part of the track and further illustrates Chip’s skills on the mic. The chorus is certainly a catchy one, and his lyrics (lovin’ the clever Heisman reference) and subject matter are on point; all of the above making it a MUST-DL for any hip hop head! Look out for the FULL mixtape 2nite, as the delay is caused by Chip & Co. adding some last minute features and drops! Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Track off upcomingmixtape, Can’t Stop Me*Tibs Fav.™
Shouts 2 Kev & Andrew for sendin’ thru the latest from our boy from Cleveland - Chip Tha Ripper w/ some excellent co-stars in Naledge, Mickey Factz, & Mic Terror! It’s a solid track that’ll be on Chip’s upcoming mixtape, which should be out any moment now. Def feelin’ Mickey’s & Naledge’s verses the most and many of u true hip hop heads will enjoy this track as well. Down below a few NEW trax for ya ears by Prodigy of Mobb Deep, One Chance, Frankie J, & a Chris Brown snippet that has some potential there. Enjoy!
Back from work and here w/ a large update featuring a boatload of trax-n-vids! The feature track coming from the Mountain Dew-led campaign via Green Label Sound, who will be releasing trax from up and comers like The Cool Kids exclusively on their website for free. More artists will soon be announced and there will also be a coinciding promotional tour featuring the artists. The project sounds very interesting w/ The Cool Kids comin’ thru w/ another solid banger, featuring some clever wordplay! A few notes on the updates below… Naledge & Lupe each had their own version of “Mean & Vicious” and I think the rare mixtape trax have been molded 2gether into 1 track, which u can DL below! Lupe’s 2nd verse remains one of my all-time favorites, so if u don’t yet have “Mean & Vicious”, u GOT 2 DL the version below! A few more thoughts, not 100 pct. positive that’s indeed Bobby V and/or Timbaland on the snippet at the bottom of the update, but its credited 2 them, so we’ll go w/ it, and finally check out the funny video trailer from our man Chip Tha Ripper, promoting his NEW mixtape coming soon and I get ya caught up on The Game Vs. Bow Wow…. in Madden, haha! (Big ups 2 BOBO, Kev, & Paul S. for the e-mails… check out the flyer at the bottom for a casting call if ur an UPCOMING MC!) Enjoy!
Above is a brand NEW track from Chip himself, presumably on his upcoming Can’t Stop Me mixtape, and it’s a fresh one featuring Kid Cudi! The verses are all on point over a beat that both rappers excel on and is also my type of beat. Chip shows his versatility as he spits over a more laid-back beat compared 2 the hard bangers I am personally more accustomed 2 and it works for the better. Not 2 mention his overall flow is better than I’ve heard in previous trax, which goes with a catchy chorus that I can see myself singing along 2. I’m excited 2 see how the rest of the mixtape develops now, which should be coming soon according 2 his MySpace. Enjoy the exclusive above as well as the myriad trax below… starting with Jay-Z jumping on “Put On”, as well as Jeezy spittin’ some NEW verses. Gotta had it 2 Jay-Z (who I was never a big fan of) but he killed it here. Hmm, more hits than misses in the trax below.. I’m really diggin’ the Rhymefest track, but mainly because of Chamillionaire’s beastly verse and incredibly clever Lauren London reference which made me chuckle on 1st listen. Another nice reference occurs in the Busta Rhymes / Jadakiss collabo as a Shaq in Miami and Phoenix NBA reference caught my attention (as does any NBA reference, haha!) Just a bunch of hip hop and some R&B trax below! I’m sure u’ll find somethin’ u like so comment on what u do (and don’t!). Enjoy!
Here’s a couple of cover arts I stumbled upon recently for upcoming singles that I have really been lovin’ - “Green Light” & “Miss Independent”! Update ur iTunes artwork if u like and DL the songs if u don’t have them already below!
FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, Seeing Sounds, in stores 06.10 (U.S.) *Tibs Fav.
“Really Amazing…Love Bomb, You Know What,
Sooner Or Later are all instant classics…
Windows is fun as hell…
and everything comes across even better live…
LOVE BOMB IS AMAZING…thats 3 amazings…”
- Lupe Fiasco, describing N*E*R*D’s upcoming album, Seeing Sounds
Don’t just take it from me, take it from Lupe Fiasco as Seeing Sounds is approaching release, enjoy a couple trax off the album! Lupe is dead on about “Love Bomb” as the song conveys an interesting, thought-provoking message over a mellow melody. Pharrell sings it and the song is immediately ear-catching with an attractive chorus and an instant affect lyrically. The lyrics aren’t as straight forward tho as it takes a few listens 2 grasp what Pharrell is sayin’ here. The other full track u can find on GWHH - “Time For Some Action” really displays the group’s unique production and makes for a great opening track for the album.
BELOW, check out the latest from Cleveland rapper, Chip Tha Ripper! The song has been up on his MySpace for a lil bit, but the mp3 is available for DL now! Chip definitely shows some talent in the verses, matching up with a catchy chorus that might be able 2 take off. And I’m a lil late on this (checkin’ our email, haha) but the single from Chicago R&B singer Ben One is out now and it features Shawnna (frequent Ludacris collaborator). It’s a pretty nice track and I like the lyrics above all in that song. Enjoy!
Above is a HOT, NEW track from our boy Chip Tha Ripper, freestyling over the recent Weezy track “A Millie”. Chip is up on his current events with a nice mention of Big Ben Wallace, a recent aquisition 2 his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. As an NBA nut, I noticed that right away along with his Carmelo Anthony drop, haha. Def worth a DL 2 see what the best from Cleveland has 2 offer. Speaking of Weezy, there’s another Lil’ Wayne track that hit the net along with a Ne-Yo feature, and a Mariah Carey request! We got a NEW video by the Speedknot Mobstaz & Twista (CHI-Town stand up!). Thx 2 the homey Clyde for the heads-up! Finally, I posted a couple links 2 my favorite BET Spring Break performance videos from Lupe Fiasco & Day26 so peep them below and enjoy!
