***UPDATE: Our buddies over @ OG Hip Hop came thru with a collection of more extensive thoughts and coverage of Kanye West’s listening party. CLICK HERE!
Above is another passionate, live performance from the superstar Kanye West! Just before the 2:30 mark and the end chorus are the two highlights of the performance… with the lowlight the constant screen time of the same teary-eyed girl.. ugh. Anyway, the performance was a sweet one which came after Kanye hosted the first listening party for 808’s & Heartbreak. The listening party featured forty nude girls, hahaha, and of course the first exposure of the entire album to a select audience. The web has started discussing it here and here and truthfully, I’m warming up to the direction of Kanye’s 808’s & Heartbreak, even though it looks like he’ll be doing more singing than rapping. Time will tell. Below, check out a bunch of NEW trax and video premieres featuring a nice one from The Cool Kids, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, Trey Songz brilliantly covering another hit w/ Ryan Leslie’s “Addiction” being the culprit this time, Brandy, Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, & MORE! Enjoy!

Here’s a couple unofficial “Love Lockdown” RMXs courtesy of some close friends of the GWHH fam, S-Preme & Dj MiniMaxX! First off, S-Preme was on some Red Bull shit last nite and just started talkin’ silly over Kanye’s latest single…and still killed it. Some freshness 2 “Love Lockdown” is found at the end there, so listen 2 that all the way thru. Also, Dj MiniMaxX brought a ‘House’ feel 2 “Love Lockdown” and it’s definitely a version of the track that should be bumpin’ @ ur parties! Down below, the latest from the boy Consequence, T-Pain & Luda, MJB, Leona Lewis (damn, she can sing..), & MORE, including the alternate version of the video for Ryan Leslie’s “Addiction”. No Cassie again.. (ugh, R-Les did u lose her number or somethin??) but it’s all good cuz I like this version of the video better w/ a cool inside look at the genius R-Les in the studio. MUST-SEE for all u R&B fans.. “Addiction” has gotta catch some air time. Don’t forget to VOTE FOR US ABOVE! 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!
