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!

So a few things inspired me for this installment of Old School Sundays…

1. My roomy, “Disappointed” let’s call him (refer 2 our CBox there), still has not heard any tracks outside the singles from the Fort Minor CD The Rising Tied that came out in 2005. And I figure that while I still come up with some cool Atmosphere content, he can enjoy the Fort Minor content in the meantime that I told him I just had 2 show him.
2. This Fort Minor CD is top to bottom one of my all-time favorite CDs and I felt that there are more people like my roommate who have not heard and SHOULD hear some Fort Minor tracks that weren’t floating around mainstream radio at the time.
3. I came 2 the realization we do not have any content from Mike Shinoda and Fort Minor in our archive and that had to change as soon as possible!
4. The Linkin Park feature on the upcoming Busta Rhymes track is somethin’ I am really looking forward 2 and my man J.D. over at Hip Hop Update came thru with the snippets the other day. I usually don’t mess around with snippets but I couldn’t resist here and since I mentioned it also in the post below, I figured I should kinda share it as well. You can peep those below. Enjoy!
