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!
I wanted 2 share the final, RED ape cover of N.E.R.D.’s Seeing Sounds, an album that I am getting increasingly excited for with all their hot trax that have leaked already! Since we all love art work up here at GWHH, I had 2 share this album cover that I really like, and so there’s no confusion, I don’t got a new N.E.R.D. track in case that’s what u were thinking. Instead, you can peep 5 solid NEW trax, the first one by Mickey Factz and Lauryn Hill… a great mellow track that is lyrically on point. I’m def feelin’ that 1 along with the NEW T.I. verse and 3 NEW R&B trax below! Peep them (and our 2 EXCLUSIVE MIXTAPES from yesterday) with a lil’ scrolling below! Enjoy!
***NOTE: At the time now and for the next few hours, zShare is currently down and you can’t DL or upload files at the moment so I did this batch of trax with Mediafire.
A ton of NEW trax in 2day’s update, but the feature track is a type of track that you are likely familiar with already - a Mash-Up! I personally LOVE Mash-Ups, but most of them are not that good. The one above is an exception as the Casely vocals on his hit single “Emotional” is combined with Ne-Yo’s hook and StarGate’s beat on the soon-2-be hit single “Closer”. It offers listeners a NEW take on both songs and I personally like it a lot. DL above and judge for yourself. Below, you can find the various NEW R&B and hip hop, but the Ghostface Killah “Charlie Brown RMXs” warrant some mentioning. It’s a series of 4 trax that was sent 2 a select few of us 2 share by 4 different DJs remixing the song by the Wu Tang Clan member. I sincerely enjoy all 4 as they all have a completely different sound from one another and you should check those out as well. I also put up the “Flashing Lights RMX” f/ R. Kelly that was requested, but I could not locate one without all the DJ shoutouts. Still a good track tho if u are a fan of either. Enjoy!
Producer: Cool & Dre & Mike Shinoda - FULL, CDQ, Track from upcoming album, Blessed*Tibs Fav.
That’s right - TWO featured trax for ya that deserve the spotlight. As promised, T.I. drops a brand new track 2day that will be on his upcoming album Paper Trail that he should be releasing later this year. He’s been hard at work recording while at house arrest and in light of all the legal troubles, the song above reflects those hardships and T.I. slows down the flow and pours out some emotion on the track. I’m really feelin’ this one - don’t expect a banger, just expect the emergence of a new T.I., forever changed after his weapons charges last fall. Also above, is the highly-anticipated full version of the Busta Rhymes/Linkin Park collaboration called “We Made It”. You knew I was going 2 flip for the full version after the amazing snippets I posted earlier and yeah, I am now happy and content 2 have the full version ready 2 go for you guys! They already shot the video for the track so expect 2 see more of “We Made It” on MTV, BET, and throughout radio stations across the nation in the coming future. Finally 2 round out the new trax below, check out a NEW, HOT RMX of Cassie’s biggest hit “Me & U” with R&B crooner, Casely. Videos galore as well as we got 3 video premieres for u 2 peep as well as performances from The Roots who were LIVE on Letterman promoting their new album Rising Down out in stores 2day! Also be sure 2 support Estelle if you’re in the States as her album Shine should be in major stores across the country 2day as well! Enjoy!
Pimpin’ is a major part of the city, so we got them pimp songs right below! Also if interested read about Chicago’s most infamous pimp, Don “Magic” Juan HERE.
I had 2 roll thru this awesome post by Max G. with some recent trax f/ Chicago’s The Cool Kids & Teejay that I’ve been meaning 2 post. It’s nothin’ but more heat from our hometown so simply DL above and below! Enjoy!

Sry for the delayed update (internet uploading very very slow), but it comes with a lot of content! Included is the MUST-DL mixtape from Blu of Blu & Exile, another really good conscious rapper that we love 2 promote here at GWHH! Some of the trax have been posted already but the mixtape as a whole is real nice and without DJ shoutouts. Below, you can check out a few NEW audio trax f/ 50 Cent, Young Buck over “Hip-Hop Saved My Life”, & R&B singer Lloyd! And then there are a ton of cool, NEW videos including the latest 2 from the Graduation Listening Experience from Kanye West and a few LIVE performances/videos featuring Kanye, Lupe, Mickey Factz & The Cool Kids, & Talib Kweli! Enjoy!
Above is the another HOT Ne-Yo track that all the R&B heads will enjoy. He’s simply one of the elite singer/songwriters in the game 2day and this is just more evidence 2 that. Below there’s 3 more tracks I like from Mickey Factz (I like that Malik Sealy reference) & N.E.R.D., Busta Rhymes (sick, fast flow on this track), and Beyonce (a nice slow jam). Chris Brown also released his official video for “Take Me Down”, which doubles as a live performance. That circular moving thing he is on is cool. And finally, u GOT 2 watch the hilarious cartoon video of Akon calling T-Pain with Snoop Dogg making an appearance at the end. Absolute bonkers, haha! Enjoy!
