They young up and coming rapper also spits over some established songs like “Rising Down” by The Roots & Chrisette Michele - one of my favorites. Def worth checkin’ out w/ the DL link above and his official blog HERE! Enjoy!
More footage of Kanye on network TV, this one with my favorite late-nite comedian - Conan! He performs “Heartless”, which I am really enjoying seeing LIVE because of the emotion involved in the song itself, and sits down for a 10 minute interview that has a lot of laughs. Damn, that live performance tho, wow. Gotta love the drums in the background. MUST-SEE for the Kanye fans. You also have 2 read the Kanye West Q&A with Fader, which explains more about the ideas behind the man, Kanye West. Here’s some snippets below:
Did you have an epiphany about singing on the new album?
I never even thought about it like that, I just thought about what I wanted to hear when I was making music, just like hook after hook after hook after hook after hook. It’s the musical version of an Obama speech.
What do you think about “Swagger Like Us,” along with MIA’s “Paper Planes,” and “Love Lockdown” all hitting people together?
Such a great time. It’s like, Why does that happen? I’m like a vessel, and God has chosen me to be the voice and the connector. I can’t be responsible. I’m good, but I’m not that good. So my job is just to be in the studio and do videos, and I just stand here and let God do the rest…
Down below, some really nice trax 2 DL, starting off w/ the NO DJ version of the B.o.B. / T.I.P. collaboration, “I’m Dat Nigga” that I like a lot. Akon’s upcoming album, Freedom, will hit stores December 2nd and below is a track from the album’s leak today that is a NEW version of “Could You Be The Reason” and is also a track that I enjoy. Brandy really shines on her own with “True” and Musiq Soulchild comes thru with some real solid trax that might make his next album, OnMyRadio! You can also DL the latest mixtape from slept on Atlanta rapper, Stat Quo! Enjoy!

Whoo, 18 track update for ya ears here, starting off w/ the much anticipated collabo between 3 of 2day’s biggest rap stars: “I Did It For Hip Hop” by Ludacris f/ Jay-Z & Nas!

Down below, an interesting original version of Common’s “Be”, a hot beat on the DJ Felli Fel track, the nice extended version of “Propane” f/ T.I., some more various hip hop and R&B trax-n-vids!

Thanks 2 DJ Booth for the heads-up on the release of the latest mixtape from G.O.O.D. Music’s GLC! The tracklist (as seen above) features some big names and up and coming artists and producers for a nice mix of talent that you most likely have yet 2 hear (myself included). I’m likin’ what I hear so far, especially the Kanye West-produced “Heaven” (different from the John Legend/Kanye-produced “Heaven”), which you can DL below along with a nice lyrical track from Wale, a Ne-Yo demo inspired by 2Pac (if u can catch that..), a track that u might like from T-Pain, and a couple videos as well! At the bottom, peep the genius cover for Kanye West’s 2nd single, “Heartless”! Enjoy!
***Fixed the Jadakiss video and added the latest ep. of ConsTV!
Another update for ya eyes & ears 2day, starting off with a nice, unreleased Usher track (thx 2 our friends @ Urban Music). I’m feelin’ the overall vibe 2 it and Usher using a deeper tone for most of it. Down below, definitely DL the NEW DJ Green Lantern Yes We Can! mixtape that features all of the heavyweights listed there and some up and comers like Chicago’s Mikkey Halsted. There’s a handful of trax and a nice request that’s not really hip hop but a nice Timbaland-produced track. (Thx 2 Jabbify user, DanjaNeptunes). Finally, Eminem confirms his next album will be called Relapse and that it will be out at the end of this year. Add his name 2 the list of super-heavyweights that are droppin’ albums before ‘08 concludes: Eminem, 50 Cent, Ludacris, Kanye West, Common, and already T.I.?? Am I missing anyone? Damn. Shaping up 2 be a great end of the year for hip hop. The latest ep of ConsTV can also be found below! Enjoy! (Finally, check out OG Hip Hop’s experience @ last nite’s big Jay-Z show HERE!)
Props 2 Sean from lupEND Blog who passed along the NEW mixtape from Chicago’s and FNF’s Bishop G! I’ve been diggin’ some of his recent releases and the dude can straight up flow, reminiscent of one of Chicago’s biggest rappers, Twista, and combines it with lyrics that convey his high awareness to the world around him. His poems on his MySpace certainly support that! So don’t sleep on Bishop G and check out the mixtape above! It was yet another busy weekend for me, but I’m here w/ some more NEW trax for u 2 enjoy while I catch some zzzz’s. The majority being R&B trax as I’m def feelin’ the semi-slow jam from Casely called “Did It For You” and those J.R. Rotem beats! So take a peep at those and the official footage from T.I.’s recent MySpace show in L.A. - the one where Kanye West came out 2 perform “Heartless”! Enjoy!

17. Trey Songz Freestyle
With all the Trey Songz covers and RMXs that he keeps cranking out recently, there was definitely a mixtape 2 be dropped w/ a compilation of many of them. Well, our homies at Urban Music dropped a link 2 one a few days ago that I meant 2 post but simply forgot about since I had all the trax already. Either way, it’s a nice compilation of all that Songz has killed recently. And for Old School Sundays, I’m droppin’ one of my favorite mixtapes of all time, Trey’s In My Mind mixtape that he dropped at the beginning of 2007 and it really put me on Trey. I couldn’t get this off my CD player for a long time at that time and it’s still a great listen. The Pharrell segment of the mixtape really shows Songz’ versatility and I still get all fuzzy inside at 15 seconds in on the “Young Girl Freestyle” b/c Songz really shines on that track. Oh yeah, and the beginning of the “Can I Have It Like That Freestyle” is beyond ridiculous. Wow. So if u can’t get enough of Trey Songz, I hope the mixtapes above can keep ya in ur seat, haha. Enjoy!
It’s here! Chip Tha Ripper’s long awaited mixtape (thx 2 DJ E-V, Kev, Chip for everything) and it’s a great representation of all the hard work Chip has put in lately. It really shows Chip’s growth compared to some of his old stuff and he’s only gettin’ better. The mixtape release party is THURSDAY out in Cleveland - at the Grog Shop, so if ur in the area, head out there where they will be handing out physical copies of the mixtape and t-shirts (and I’d assume a performance from Chip himself..!). Don’t forget that 2day is Mixtape Messiah day as well - as you gotta head over 2 Chamillionaire.com2 purchase the mixtape! (Watch the video below for more reason to do so.) Also check out tracks and vids featuring the Gym Class Heroes, The Game, Crooked I, Danja, & MORE! Enjoy!
***UPDATE: Added some Ne-Yo Trax 2 this post real quick…!
This post is dedicated 2 another up and coming rapper from Chicago - Y.G.! He comes hard and rips with that Chicago flow, another rapper u shouldn’t sleep on. Above u can DL his latest mixtape and below, 2 of the standout trax from the mixtape - his 1st single “On Fiya” f/ Primo, which is a real nice banger that is already gaining airplay around the Go, most recently on WGCI 107.5, my favorite radio station out here. Also, Y.G. & fellow Chicagoan, Lungz, come thru on the Mobb Deep classic, “Shook Ones”, as they don’t hold back over the instrumental. So DL both of the trax and the mixtape as well and find out more info about Y.G. w/ his bio below & links 2 his MySpace and Lungz’ MySpace & blog! (Thx 2 “Hu$tle” for sending this thru!) Enjoy!
Y.G. Bio:
Carrying the banner for Chicago’s notorious “Wild 100’s” (specifically Roseland & West Pullman-ask about him) YG epitomizes the living essence of what Chicago produces as an emcee; a hardened street veteran that fuses wisdom beyond his years with a commitment to entertainment.
Spending his younger years playing ball or out grinding in the streets, YG never envisioned himself as a rapper until he learned that he had an inherent skill that he became inspired to explore. Experiencing the anguish of witnessing friends perish from gun violence or facing extensive prison sentences, ( including his brother KG catching a 25 year prison bid); YG sets out to prove both to himself and detractors from within his own circle that he could carve a different, more difficult path where so many had fallen and leave the carnage and tribulations of his past behind him. YG is out to prove to the world that he doesn’t want to merely survive, but to conquer.
With his brother and fellow Hoodlumz group member KG currently incarcerated, YG is striving to arise from this setback and persevere as a solo artist, now voracious for exposure. Inspired by such rappers as LL Cool J, Jay-Z, & Busta Rhymes, YG aspires to become not just another mixtape rapper, but an enduring creator of polished street music that will keep the parties entertained yet also provoke thought on the block. Although its not uncommon to want to be paid to do what they love, YG is dedicated to delivering an authentic, quality product. According to YG; “I love creating, I want people to actually listen to the words, memorize them, recite them”.He believes it isn’t unrealistic or arrogant to claim that he wants to become counted among the rap legends, because he believes that his potential has only just begun to be manifest. Having lived the struggles as a black youth coming of age in the notoriously brutal Chi-town streets, Glacier City’s own YG sets forth to demonstrate his perseverance as a true student of the craft.
