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!

Big update for ya Saturdays here, starting with 2 powerful, inspiring tracks on the album inspired by perhaps the most powerful and inspiring person in the U.S.A. today - Democratic candidate, Barack Obama! Starting it off with an original track created for the Obama album above, Malik Yusef goes spoken word and delievers nothing less than an inspiring message. Adam Levine comes through on the hook and Kanye West raps (sans autotune) with the same amount of passion as Obama has for changing our country. It is a great song with a booming beat, especially at the finale of the song. Also above is John Legend’s contribution to the album with a magnificent cover of the U2 smash-hit “Pride (In The Name Of Love)”, which certainly fits the theme of the album as well.
Down below, a bunch of very solid tracks with Mark Ronson putting a nice spin on Robin Thicke’s “Magic”, along with Wale spittin’ some clever lines as well. R&B singer Joe’s album comes out on Tuesday and another track from the CD can be had as well. Def lookin’ forward to that album. I’m also feelin’ that Murs track as it contains clear and inspiring lyrics as well - from the album, Murs For President, in stores September 30th! In the midst of the videos below, you will find the official video premiere to Ne-Yo’s “She Got Her Own (Miss Indepenent Pt. 2)” f/ Jamie Foxx & Fabolous. I’m kind of surprised he didn’t include that track on the album for Year Of The Gentleman, but my guess is they recently recorded it with not enough time for the track to make the final tracklisting. Regardless, the star power above carries the nice slow jam sequel to “Miss Independent” and the nice black & white video does the song justice. Enjoy!
Sorry for the long time between updates.. between all the work, being sick, and social events I was busy with yesterday, I was flat out exhausted to do anything until now. But it’ll all be made up next week because I also used that time to conduct a very interesting interview with a professional athlete that will be hitting GWHH sometime next week! Stay tuned!
Back from work and here w/ a large update featuring a boatload of trax-n-vids! The feature track coming from the Mountain Dew-led campaign via Green Label Sound, who will be releasing trax from up and comers like The Cool Kids exclusively on their website for free. More artists will soon be announced and there will also be a coinciding promotional tour featuring the artists. The project sounds very interesting w/ The Cool Kids comin’ thru w/ another solid banger, featuring some clever wordplay! A few notes on the updates below… Naledge & Lupe each had their own version of “Mean & Vicious” and I think the rare mixtape trax have been molded 2gether into 1 track, which u can DL below! Lupe’s 2nd verse remains one of my all-time favorites, so if u don’t yet have “Mean & Vicious”, u GOT 2 DL the version below! A few more thoughts, not 100 pct. positive that’s indeed Bobby V and/or Timbaland on the snippet at the bottom of the update, but its credited 2 them, so we’ll go w/ it, and finally check out the funny video trailer from our man Chip Tha Ripper, promoting his NEW mixtape coming soon and I get ya caught up on The Game Vs. Bow Wow…. in Madden, haha! (Big ups 2 BOBO, Kev, & Paul S. for the e-mails… check out the flyer at the bottom for a casting call if ur an UPCOMING MC!) Enjoy!

Quick hip hop update here with the latest from Murs up above! He impresses with some social commentary and clear flow, which makes for a nice track 2 have on when ur in a reflecting mood, haha. Down below is also the latest from Blu of Blu & Exile and a couple videos featuring A Tribe Called Quest @ Rock The Bells in NYC and Freeway showin’ some skills in the parking lot. Enjoy!
Real quick update here for the afternoon cuz I gotta break out real soon.. but Mario & StarGate comes thru w/ 2 HOT trax above - “I Choose You” being a nice slow jam with some typical, beautiful StarGate acoustics on the beat and “Stuttering” being the more uptempo R&B track, yet not a club banger. Ne-Yo also comes thru below with a sweet track about the title, haha. And finally, peep some Lil’ Wayne and Murs & 9th Wonder at the bottom! (Shouts 2 our aff. Urban Music for some of the exclusives!) Enjoy!
Again, we gotta apologize for no updates on Saturday, but Max G. & I were busy chillin’ as VIPs backstage, enjoyin’ the first stop in the Rock The Bells tour in Chicago all day Saturday! We will have some exclusive coverage & photos comin’ 2 ya soon shortly, but in the meantime, here’s a catch-up on some of the NEW trax released so far this weekend! First off is a cool R&B banger with some unique lyrics by my boy Trey Songz! It’s definitely a HOT one his fans and R&B fans will enjoy! Down below is a cool Akon track, the full/real version of Ciara’s supposed 1st single w/ Ludacris “High Price”, which I actually like now, and some good hip hop for ya ears f/ Skills & The Roots, Murs & 9th Wonder, Freeway, & Maino! Enjoy!
