Verbal Kent “Go Cubs Go (2008 Hip Hop Version)”

FULL, CDQ *Tibs Fav.™ *GWHH Exclusive*

So Chi-Town’s own, Verbal Kent, reached out to us with this timely exclusive - a hip hop version of the classic Chicago Cubs theme song “Go Cubs Go” that rings through Wrigley Field after every W (and let’s hope that will continue in October!). As a ridiculously huge Cubs fan, I’ll be glued to the TV or maybe at Wrigley for the playoffs this year and the city is straight up buzzing as this is the best chance in recent history that the Cubs will break their 100 year World Series drought (Oh, and I suppose the South Siders may be chatting a lil’ bit as well as they sneaked into the playoffs themselves less than an hour ago.. hmmph..) As for Verbal Kent, he is not just a no-namer from Chicago, as evidenced by his recent ink in the hip hop magazine, XXL, and you can peep his MySpace HERE! Much props 2 VK for the creative rhymes centered around the starters and pitching staff as well as the bench players, announcers, and more! Of course, Go Cubs Go!

Down below… FIFTEEN NEW TRACKS! You gotta find somethin’ u like, especially the R&B fans out there as the NEW trax from heavyweights Trey Songz, Ne-Yo, & Mario are ones that will be in my rotation for some time 2 come as well as some of the unknowns, specifically that Jason Derulo track that is striking a chord w/ me. Hip hop fans will see a couple Paper Trail bonus trax that are definitely good enough 2 be on the album (and I got the album 2day… it’s ridiculous.. expect a review soon!). Really feelin’ “I Know You Missed Me”! Sorry couldn’t get up on here earlier, but Tuesdays are my busy day. Off 2 the gym fools; Enjoy!

John Legend Interview & Rehearsal Of “If You’re Out There”

NEW john Legend “If You’re Out There” is a MUST-DL for any fan of music and even any follower of the political campaigns for this year’s election. JL showcases that one of a kind powerful, soulful voice, while also sending a ringing message to 2day’s generation. The description from his Barack Obama page concisely sums up the goal of the track perfectly,

“A call-to-action and evocation of human potential, “If You’re Out There” reflects the themes of hope and change, responsibility and leadership, and commitment to a better tomorrow expressed in the principles of Barack Obama and the hearts of the American people.”

John Legend performed the song for the first time @ last nite’s opening for the Democratic National Convention in Denver and in addition 2 DLing the track above, peep the interview and rehearsal of John Legend as he talks in detail about the track - a very interesting 2 and a half minute watch. I’ve had “If You’re Out There” on repeat all morning and u should 2; DL above!!!

One Chance “Keep It Movin’”

Producer: BlackSox - FULL, CDQ *Tibs Fav.

Here’s a quick update for your early Friday (for me it’s early, haha!) The latest from One Chance is up above and another hot track from the boys from the Go. If you’re wondering about when One Chance will release an album after all these tracks have dropped, well, I heard in an interview that they’re looking for a fall release, but as always with album releases, expect that 2 be pushed back even more. Haha, so we’ll have 2 just keep waiting. U can also check out a nice StarGate produced track below by LaShawn Daniels and a few videos - a cool promo video for Lupe Fiasco and part 2 of his interview with Sway, an inside look at Kanye West, and a video premiere by the French electronic artist Justice, who is scheduled to RMX Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool! Hopefully I’ll be back later in the day… Enjoy!
