FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, Yes We Can: Voices Of A Grassroots Movement*Tibs Fav.™
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!
FULL, CDQ, Track off upcomingmixtape, Can’t Stop Me*Tibs Fav.™
Shouts 2 Kev & Andrew for sendin’ thru the latest from our boy from Cleveland - Chip Tha Ripper w/ some excellent co-stars in Naledge, Mickey Factz, & Mic Terror! It’s a solid track that’ll be on Chip’s upcoming mixtape, which should be out any moment now. Def feelin’ Mickey’s & Naledge’s verses the most and many of u true hip hop heads will enjoy this track as well. Down below a few NEW trax for ya ears by Prodigy of Mobb Deep, One Chance, Frankie J, & a Chris Brown snippet that has some potential there. Enjoy!
Above is the NEW EP from Nikki Jean and her group - Nouveau Riche - and it’s a unique mix of some hip hop and some rock combined with Nikki’s vocals that you should open your ears 2. It is 8 trax that are surely unique compared 2 anything else u are likely listening 2 now so you should definitely DL above if you’re looking for something NEW and fresh 2 bump in ur stereo. And not only does the Free Money EP have a fresh sound, but also verses and lyrics with a message - “Melody” being my early favorite. And find out more about NIkki Jean & Nouveau Riche with our exclusive interview with Nikki Jean u may have missed!
Down below, check out the DL link 2 the FULL Ludacris & DJ Drama mixtape as well as some NEW R&B trax from Jagged Edge & R. Kelly. The trax didn’t really strike a favorable chord with me personally, but a couple of the Kellz trax are definitely solid. Other than that, peep a couple video premieres from Lil’ Wayne & T-Pain as well as The Alchemist! (Hopefully “Disperse” later 2day!) Enjoy!
A ton of NEW trax in 2day’s update, but the feature track is a type of track that you are likely familiar with already - a Mash-Up! I personally LOVE Mash-Ups, but most of them are not that good. The one above is an exception as the Casely vocals on his hit single “Emotional” is combined with Ne-Yo’s hook and StarGate’s beat on the soon-2-be hit single “Closer”. It offers listeners a NEW take on both songs and I personally like it a lot. DL above and judge for yourself. Below, you can find the various NEW R&B and hip hop, but the Ghostface Killah “Charlie Brown RMXs” warrant some mentioning. It’s a series of 4 trax that was sent 2 a select few of us 2 share by 4 different DJs remixing the song by the Wu Tang Clan member. I sincerely enjoy all 4 as they all have a completely different sound from one another and you should check those out as well. I also put up the “Flashing Lights RMX” f/ R. Kelly that was requested, but I could not locate one without all the DJ shoutouts. Still a good track tho if u are a fan of either. Enjoy!
Here’s a couple quick-hit vids for ya - ya’ll gotta check out the Rhymefest LIVE video. He pulls out a random white guy in the crowd 2 rap the Kanye verse on his hit single “Brand New”. Props 2 the white guy who knows all the words, but hahaha - he can’t rap or breathe even at times. It’s hard 2 understand him also. It made me laugh at least, but I gotta hand it 2 the guy - that’s not the easiest thing 2 do. Also enjoy that NEW Prodigy video above! Enjoy!
And lettin’ ya’ll kno that Dj MiniMaxX released Part 2 of his Heard It In ‘07 Mixtape! DL and check out his blog below (for the tracklists 2 both parts as well!)
