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!
Thx again 2 BOBO for sendin’ this track our way - a nice track that reminds me a lot of Plies “Bust It Baby Pt. 2″ f/ Ne-Yo. Haha. The parallels would be almost eerie if this track hit the top 10 on the Billboard charts. 2 me, Jadakiss is a mediocre rapper (like Plies) and grabs Ne-Yo for a hook and comes up w/ a radio-friendly love song. Jada actually rips pretty well on the verses and I like the lyrics in general, esp. Ne-Yo on the hook and the Eric Hudson beat. Below, a bunch of R&B, including 3 trax by my boy on the rise, Casely! He’s always got the hot, bangin’ club beats and his voice compliments them well. I like all 3 of the trax below and fans of the new age R&B will eat those up for sure. He’s really the only one who warrants mentioning… a solid track by One Chance and a pleasant hook by Trey Songz can be found down there as well. U know what 2 do. Enjoy!
Quick morning update for ya w/ Trey Songz comin’ thru w/ yet another solid track, that would especially hit the right chord if I can relate 2 the lyrics, haha. Just cuz I can’t, doesn’t mean they aren’t good ones and I’m sure there are fellas out there who can relate. Either way, it’s a nice track 2 just vibe 2. Below, there’s nothin’ I’m really feelin’, but the masses will be sure 2 eat up Bow Wow on the “Can’t Believe It RMX” and the Kardinal Offishall / Rihanna collabo. Take a look below @ those and a couple videos as well. Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Rumored track off upcoming album, Walk With Me Now*Tibs Fav.™
Some NEW DMX for ya ears and this is a solid track where Dark Man X raps from his heart in response 2 all the trouble he’s been gettin’ into recently, w/ all his arrests. I respect his approach as much as I like the track itself, in that he is attacking his problems head on and I am really optimistic and hopeful that he comes as strong as ever on his upcoming hip hop CD, Walk With Me Now, and his upcoming gospel CD, Fly With Me Later. From what I can gather, they’ll be split into individual albums now. Below, enjoy some Casely, Jagged Edge over The Dream’s hit “I Luv Your Girl”, and a RMX of one of the hottest songs in the country right now, “I Kissed A Girl” f/ the rapper Mims. All trax u may like more than I do, haha. Enjoy!
A couple slow days for NEW music but here is the “Diamond Girl RMX” by Ryan Leslie f/ Mims. Original is the best, but the RMX is still worth a download. I also included the original and an unofficial RMX f/ Kanye West per request. You can also catch the video premiere of Flo Rida’s latest single “Elevator” f/ Timbaland and click on his tag 2 DL the audio! Stay tuned for the next couple of days as I got some exclusive HQ pics and vids from the Trey Songz show I went 2 last night and another Gowhere Hip Hop EXCLUSIVE Interview that u don’t want 2 miss! Enjoy!
