***NOTICE: As many of you are quite aware, GWHH was temporarily unavailable due 2 some sort of copyright infringement involving the T.I. “Live Your Life” video premiere and the Mos Def track, “Life In Marvelous Times”. It seems due to our high traffic volume, and visitor rate we’ve been targeted for the second time, and thus shut down temporarily until the materials in question were removed. We have no problem taking down material that’s leaked (by the record labels themselves), however by law our host is contacted and our site gets temporarily shut down; robbing our daily visitors of seein’ more content from those artists and many others! If only we were just contacted directly….. We will now have to be more careful in re-upping broken links to new tracks as they are probably getting broken for a reason; so if a new record comes out and the link gets broken, we will have to oblige to the broken link in order to prevent ourselves from being temporarily shut down again! Anyways, sorry for the inconvenience everyone, and just remember what is happening when you see our site temporarily unavailable. Although it’s a major inconvenience, we here at GWHH will take it as a compliment as no other hip hop blogs apparently get affected by this when posting the same material! Much love for staying with us, and lets move forward with some great new updates!
Anyway, here is a big update 2 get caught up, starting with an important video premiere 2 Usher’s latest hit, “Hush”! I think Usher recorded this real recently as the mp3 was released just a short couple weeks ago (if that) and a video is already being shot, just in time for the election on November 4th! The video illustrates the hardships that they lyrics describe and obviously comes thru with some very powerful images. The message is clear: VOTE on November 4th (2 our majority U.S. visitors)! Down below, a batch of solid trax, with Freeway echoing the above message in “Change”. Jamie Foxx comes thru w/ a formulaic single, featuring a somewhat tiresome production from Tricky Stewart & The Dream because it sounds like a lot of what they put out already. U can always count on T.I. comin’ thru tho so this one might grow on me. There’s also some R&B featuring another potential grower from Ne-Yo and some nice trax featuring Solange & Casely (prolly my fav. in the update). Finally, Cons hit everyone w/ a couple e-mails w/ what he’s been up 2 recently - some exclusive footage from the John Legend Album Release Party and the announcement of his last video premiere from Don’t Quit Your Day Job, with “Job Song” hitting the internet on election day; yes, November 4th! Enjoy!
Nas “Make The World Go Round” f/ The Game & Chris Brown
VIDEO PREMIERE!
Ton of video premieres for ya eyes and ears this afternoon, starting with one of my favorite records of the year - “Make The World Go Round” by Nas f/ The Game & Chris Brown! This is definition of a G’d up video as all three artists are shinin’ and lookin’ fly. There are some very strong visuals from the Caribbean to Compton and the riches are definitely on full display throughout. Solid video for an even better track, although if I was in charge I would have had Chris Brown leading a choreographed dance with Nas and Game trying hard to follow, haha. In all seriousness tho, Chris Brown leans against a nice glass table but its not necessary for him 2 break it down in every video, especially for a hip hop single like this one that he is featured on. Down below, a few nice trax with Trey Songz covering Snoop Dogg, Frankie J comin’ through with a real nice R&B track produced by Danja and Lil’ Wayne and The Roots performing “A Milli” LIVE from Orlando last nite! Oh, and did I mention there’s a ton of video premieres? Peep ‘em all below! Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, First Love, in stores 08.19! *Tibs Fav.™
I’m lovin’ everything I’m hearing from R&B new-comer Karina Pasian, and this track is different than the previous ones we’ve posted off her debut album, First Love, in stores this coming Tuesday! “90s Baby” is sure 2 be a radio hit - it’s got the uptempo beat and the equally catchy hook, but there’s somethin’ about Karina that I can already see separates her. While this song isn’t as lyrically deep as her other songs, it is a nice track that exposes a lil’ bit more about who Karina Pasian is, a good idea for what looks 2 be the first track off her album! Below, there’s some more R&B featuring some big names like Brandy, Trey Songz, & Bobby Valentino, as well as some solid hip hop cuts - namely a CDQ version of an old T.I. mixtape track, a nice Talib Kweli feature, & a solid, passionate banger from Cassidy & Cory Gunz! Finally, peep the latest video premiere from Musiq SoulChild! Enjoy!
