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!
Saturday’s update includes some solid trax throughout, starting w/ 2 by the rapper - Dolla with some 2 very strong features by superstars T.I. & Lil’ Wayne. I especially like T.I. on the hook of his feature, but the song as a whole might not have a strong lasting appeal. Still worth the DLs if ur fans of both of them tho. Below, the latest from Slim Thug, Lloyd Banks, Donnie Klang, & Rob (Of One Chance) as well as Pt. 3 of The Clipse’s Road 2 Success videos! Enjoy!
Ooh, I almost forgot - head over 2 our aff - lupEND for the Amajanese EP, featuring our boy S-Preme! Much love.
FULL, Limited DJ, RMX over Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth’s “T.R.O.Y.” *Tibs Fav.™
Thx 2 our aff. 2dopeboyz (ironic, huh?) for the above track and pic as Lupe, Wale, & Kardinal Offishall rhyme over the classic Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth “T.R.O.Y. (They Reminisce Over You)”! Lupe’s verse has been out for over a year already - it was featured on the 2007 mixtape, Sneakerboxx/The Laces Below, but it is mashed into a full song w/ Wale’s and Offishall’s verses (not sure if they are recycled also..)! One of my favorite all-time beats and the rappers don’t disappoint… MUST-DL above! Down below, some more hip hop featuring Yung Berg, Naledge (Of Kidz In The Hall), Lil’ Wayne, & MORE! 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!
N*E*R*D “Everyone Nose RMX” f/ Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, & Pusha T
VIDEO PREMIERE!
Thanks 2 S-Preme in our Jabbify, I was able 2 catch the world premiere of the long-anticipated “Everyone Nose RMX” on BET’s 106 & Park and thx 2 Connie over @ OnSmash w/ the send-thru, we have the video online and above @ GWHH! I was expecting big things from the video and it delivered. I love the crazy, fresh effects throughout and the video game / electronic type elements illustrated, w/ everyone lookin’ and actin’ all fly throughout the video. It definitely personifies the style of N*E*R*D and its equally fresh guest features - Kanye, Lupe, & Pusha T from Clipse. I’ve also been thinking about who delivers the best verse out of the 4 in this track for quite some time now, and I’ma throw it out there that if I had 2 choose one who really really killed it, it’s Pusha T. His flow is just ridiculous over the awesome beat and people shouldn’t sleep on him w/ CRS likely overshadowing him on this song 2 the casual fan. Any thoughts on this as well? Chat or comment away! (I should note tho that Kanye, and Lupe especially shine brighter lyrically..) It’s a MUST-WATCH video so please take the time 2 check it out above! That’s all I really got for now, besides a boatload of trax and other videos for ya below! Hip hop, R&B, Underground, Mainstream, something for everyone so just check it out below! Enjoy!
Above is a video premiere I wasn’t expecting so fast, but it actually makes sense that Big Boi & Mary J. Blige released the video for “Something’s Gotta Give”, given the current state of the country and their clear backing of Barack Obama! The video is pretty neat, illustrating some of the issues they talk about in the lyrics, all the while lookin’ fly (Big Boi) & sexy (Mary J.)! Def worth ur time and u can also check out some NEW hip hop below f/ Nas, Freeway, & Clipse’s Re-Up Gang! Enjoy!
Producer: Scram Jones - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, El Che*Tibs Fav.™
Some brand NEW Rhymefest for ya ears (shouts 2 Andrew) and its a ridiculous, good hip hop track that speaks at u on first listen! The catchy “Ya’ll ain’t heard it from me” sample scratched in as the chorus is a great mesh for the whole song with a simple, nice beat and Rhymefest and Wale speakin’ on the game w/ Rhymefest setting the tone in the first verse with the ear-catching line,“Records ain’t sellin’, what the f*** is my incentive, captain?” Yeah, this is some real hip hop that ya’ll should add 2 ur collection that rings especially pleasing 2 this Chicagoland native, just as the slow, dirty south beat of Mistah F.A.B.’s “2MPH” f/ Bun B, Paul Wall, & Chamillionaire will ring the right chords with the Houston crowd! U can also check out a couple NEW trax from Mickey Factz with some guest features and some ridiculous lines! And don’t forget, down below.. a couple vid premieres from Clipse and the sexy songstress, Ashanti! Enjoy!
A bunch of hip hop for ya’ll 2day on this Sunday with Joe Budden & Obie Trice sounding off on the industry and their situations in some pretty deep trax. Budden just goes off on the 5+ minute track, still going as the beat fades out, and he shares some details on the industry that he can see through the artist’s eyes and name-drops plenty of fellow rappers 2 paint a clear picture. It’s straight up ridiculous. Obie comes thru with a solid track describing the fallout after his breakup with Shady Records. Busta Rhymes releases his version of “A Milli”… before u hate.. I didn’t mean that exactly b/c he simply grabbed “A Milli” producer Bangladesh 2 create a similar beat for an original song that could grow on me, but I know many ppl will enjoy on first listen. You can also peep the rest of the trax below with a Kardinal Offishall banger, Lil’ Wayne, Trey Songz, Day26, & MORE! 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!
