WEEKEND UPDATE for ya’ll.. sorry about the delay on the NEW music, but I was working and out of town all day Saturday and until now on Sunday, but I’m back for good. Quite honestly, none of the trax in this update hit me as incredible on first few listens, but nonetheless, there are some quality trax 2 be had, starting with the unreleased Usher track above! The beat can be hit or miss, some will dig it, some will find it annoying, but the one constant as usual is Usher’s vocals! That’s a track that will grow on me, but it will be remained 2 be seen what direction that may be - positive or negative.. Down below, a bunch of hip hop and R&B, including the U.K. bonus track from Untitled by Nas, which of course is on point lyrically, but overall weaker than the trax already posted on GWHH. I’m also feelin’ the Swizzy beat on Styles P’s new track, and a few of the R&B trax by Trey Songz (is that really him tho?) & Francisco, namely. Peep it all below, along with the video premiere of LL Cool J’s latest single, “Baby” f/ The Dream! Enjoy!
Producer: Bangladesh - Another “A Milli RMX” (2:31)
A boatload of NEW trax 2day, with the feature track actually being an incomplete one, haha. The latest track (supposedly) from the upcoming album, Year Of The Gentleman - in stores August 5th, has been released in snippet form. It’s produced by StarGate. Some of you may already be familiar with this equation.. Ne-Yo + StarGate = Awesome. And this one sounds like no exception with Ne-Yo dropping some pretty nice lyrics so far on the high quality (not CDQ) snippet. I’ll be excited when that full version leaks and it’ll be up on GWHH when it does! Ne-Yo is also the 79,139,322nd artist 2 jump on “A Milli” so I figure I’d post that… not really feelin’ it honestly, haha. Below is a bunch of R&B and hip hop as I’m mainly liking the R&B, especially the latest trax from Colby O’Donis, Francisco, and Timbaland’s brother Sebastian (NOT the R&B Sebastian, the Sebastian on the extended version of “The Way I Are”). DL above & below! Enjoy!
Another HUGE update for ya (sry, going 2 be inconsistent w/ timely updates the next few days…) with the feature track being the HOT, Swizz Beatz-produced?, RMX of Alicia Keys’ latest single “Teenage Love Affair” featuring LL Cool J! LL’s male perspective definitely adds 2 this song that was lyrically brilliant in the first place. Another big RMX below is from Usher for his latest single “Moving Mountains” featuring Hood Fella. Not sure if that’s official, but Hood Fella adds 2 the original beat pretty well also. More songs 2 add 2 ur collection include the latest GemStones track “Never Give Up”, which features the new and improved GemStones - meaningful, conscious lyrics and a beautiful, passionate chorus that brings the cliche some depth. The mixtape should be hitting the web within the next couple days as it’s finally done (unfortunately we couldn’t hit up the mixtape release party last nite). It’s just a matter of time and once it pops up in our e-mail or around the other blogs, u’ll see it on GWHH. Be sure 2 scroll below for the boatload of new hip hop and R&B trax, requests, and videos as the Keyshia Cole Letterman performance is especially worth ur time! Enjoy! (Big ups 2 FSD & NMC)
Producer: The Neptunes - Freestyle over the Common single, “Universal Mind Control” *Tibs Fav.™
LARGE update here so here’s some thoughts… first and foremost, Bullet.. straight up stepping his game up. DL his ridiculous freestyle of Common’s latest single “Universal Mind Control”. Perfect beat for Bullet 2 shine on with his fast, twisted Chicago flow and they got creative with chopping up his voice in a couple instances. (Not 2 mention Common killed this as well…) He’s on the verge of being the next big thing out of the Chi so don’t sleep. Below, a TON of NEW trax f/ the long-awaited return of Lil’ Wayne on “A Milli”, celebrating his million copies sold of Tha Carter III in the first week. Some more big names of hip hop and R&B featured below like Nas, The Game, Day26 as well as quality trax from some lesser known names like Mickey Factz & The Cool Kids, Dwele, & perhaps my favorite song from the batch below, “Can’t Do Without Ya” by R&B singer, Francisco! Scroll below and you’ll find somethin’ u like and u can also check out some videos featuring Bun B, The Roots, Bobby Valentino, & MORE below! Enjoy!
And for all u Chicago visitors, GemStones is throwin’ a bday bash and mixtape release party TONIGHT!! All the info is on the flyer at the very bottom with GemStones himself performing at midnite (along with some FNF friends, maybe Lupe??). Thanks 2 KayCee and hopefully Max G. & I will be there 2 see ya there! Also, last-minute addition of the K-Salaam & Beatnick RMX of Common’s “Go” & Lil’ Wayne “On Me” that u can DL below (spotted @ HHU)! Enjoy!
FULL, LQ Radio Rip, Track off upcoming GTA 4 Soundtrack? *Tibs Fav.
(Shouts 2 Our NEW Affiliate J.D. for the full version!)
Above is another NEW track from “Esco, let’s go!” and it’ll be appearing on the GTA4 Soundtrack, I believe. It’ll definitely be in the game on one of the radio stations (”Flashing Lights” is the next song on the radio station, that’s why you hear that in the last 2 seconds) and the game itself comes out on Tuesday! Can’t wait to play it, haha. Below is for your R&B fix as there’s some NEW trax featuring Bobby Valentino, Akon, Francisco and video premieres of a couple Tibs Favs by Danny Fernandes and Taio Cruz. Oh, and also peep the hilarious video of Kanye playing Jonah Hill (Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) in a game of Connect 4. Check them out below, and I should be back later 2nite! Enjoy!
Producer: StarGate - FULL, CDQ, 1st Single off upcoming album, Year Of The Gentleman*Tibs Fav.
“Closer” is just way 2 good of a song for you guys NOT 2 have the FULL, CDQ version. (We posted a DJ tagged version when it first leaked but the CDQ leaked 2day!) It could be the first single from his new album that is scheduled for sometime in 2008 and I would support that choice for sure. No word on the producer yet, but it does sound like a StarGate track. We’ll see… be sure 2 check out the Francisco track below as well b/c it is also another hot one w/ a sick beat AND the Colby O’Donis-Akon VIDEO PREMIERE! Enjoy!
Here’s 2day’s batch of trax and vids - the featured track being a RMX of one of my fav. songs ever “Can’t Help But Wait” f/ Rick Ross. I like that new beat so def worth a DL for you guys. There’s also the NEW Jay-Z/MJB/Swizzy collabo, a NEW track from Day 26 (not 100% sure if it’s them tho.. but its credited 2 them..?)… a cover of another one of my fav. songs ever - “U Got It Bad” by Frankie J (but why cover such a classic song that can’t get any better? Still good tho.) Also check out another full track from Francisco and a neat behind the scenes look at “75 Bars” from The Roots! Enjoy!
Producer: The Runners - FULL, CDQ, Rumored track from upcoming, self-titled debut album *Tibs Fav.
Here are some HOT NEW R&B trax for ya ears! Day 26, the confirmed name of the guys from Making The Band 4, are droppin’ their self-titled, debut album on March 25th! I’m lovin’ that Runners beat and the new track in general and you can DL it above with exclusive artwork from yours truly (there’s literally no group pics of Day 26 online, save for the “Got Me Going” single cover so I created my own!) There’s also some hot trax below with the latest from One Chance, Mario, & Francisco, along with a couple Jay video premieres - Jay Sean and Jay-Z haha. Lovin’ that Jay Sean vid as well. 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!
