More trax (some that I missed again from the weekend), but now I’m all caught up. Truthfully, most of them is in one ear, out the other while I was multitasking and lookin’ for a cool pic of T.I. (and found one where he’s sporting the same mini goatee that I’ve been rockin’… jyea!) “On Top Of The World” is from Paper Trail and this “RMX” has an added verse from B.O.B. The song in general is growing on me and it’s definitely worth the preview/DL 2 check out the new verse (that is at the beginning also). Other than that, nothin’ really caught me on 1st listen other then some of Mic Terror’s clever lines about what he would do if he were God. That’s a solid track from the Chicago rapper for sure! There’s also some videos below featuring Mickey Factz, The Cool Kids, Lupe Fiasco, & Common! Enjoy!
Courtesy again to The Trolley Stop and The Morning Tilts, we have 2 more unreleased Cool Kids trax! As Optimus Prime suggests, they saved the best trax they had for last, with “Fresher Than You” being his favorite. I like “Fresher Than You”, and I like “Wasting Time” a lil’ more because the lyrics there go a lil’ deeper, but “Dreamin’” is still my jam, outta the recently released Cool Kids. Down below is also the video premiere for the duo’s Mountain Dew single, “Delivery Man” and a couple minor updates on the latest videos from Ludacris & Kanye West! Enjoy!
Wow, all day I was expecting the CDQ version of “Love Lockdown” but it didn’t surface on iTunes or anywhere. I’m optimistic it’ll be out 2morrow (Tuesday) as Tuesdays are usually new release day anyway. So we’ll see, but in the meantime, there’s plenty of music in this post 2 keep ya busy, starting w/ a couple hot NEW trax from The Cool Kids. “Dreamin’” stands out especially b/c it’s a fresh beat, even for the hip hop duo who always come w/ a unique sound, but also b/c of the lyrics. They come thru w/ a story, especially on the masterful 2nd verse, and I love songs that do that (Lupe’s “Hip Hop Saved My Life” is my all-time favorite storytelling song). Add a captivating sample for a hook that matches the song’s beat and content perfectly and it equals a song that I’ll be playin’ on my iTunes for some time 2 come. Big ups 2 The Morning Tilt & Trolley Stop Entertainment!
There’s another big update below as trax from big names like Ne-Yo, Estelle, & Mrs. Carter can be had as well as a bunch of R&B. Good 2 see Casely w/ a 2nd straight track w/ a well-known producer (Danja the other one), but I’m not totally feelin’ it just yet. There’s also some vids 2 peep including the latest from Cons, Lupe’s very limited air time @ the MTV VMAs last nite, and a lil’ interview w/ Young Jeezy! Enjoy!
Here comes The Cool Kids w/ some more unreleased material, not unlike their previous songs w/ that fresh style, beats, and lyrics that make the duo unique. The unique, fresh lyrics are really on showcase in the first of the 2 tracks, where I was still tryin’ 2 catch up 2 the slow flow 2 understand the quirky message they were spittin’. DL those above and check out an extended video of Kanye West previewing that NEW track from last nite’s update, where either him or his band mate mess it up so they launch into “Gold Digger”, haha. Also videos featuring Mikkey Halsted & Young Jeezy can be seen below. Enjoy!
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!
FULL, CLEAN, Track off upcoming album, L.A.X.*Tibs Fav.™
So the CLEAN version of The Game’s upcoming album, L.A.X., leaked out 2day and above, u can DL 3 more trax (scroll for the Ludacris collabo below) all featuring some big names like Common, Nas, & Ne-Yo! None of the trax are all that special on 1st few listens, but they are also all real solid. Not feelin’ the “Angel” beat and Game’s constant name-dropping, which is more annoying than clever most of the time, but it is some trax the hip hop fan would likely enjoy! Another one they would enjoy is the latest from The Cool Kids as “Pennies” maintains that deep bass sound of the duo and contains many more NBA references than usual, which I really liked of course. And before I forget, the NBA’s DeShawn Stevenson recently made a video of him and his buddy lip synching 2 Usher’s “Love In This Club”! As a fan of DeShawn’s hilarious antics, this video is another illustration of the goofiness of DeShawn Stevenson as he doesn’t disappoint throughout, especially in his lil’ grand finale, hahaha (btw, that beard is still growin, haha!) Big ups 2 my boy Yoox for the sending.. more big ups goes 2 our affs, 2dopeboyz & lupEND for the audio, the latter being responsible for the 2 NEW Shayla G trax (from FNF) as “Crazy” is an interesting one I like - kinda weird, but that’s what makes the song unique and I like that about the track. There are also some behind the scenes and live performance videos that u can peep below f/ Ludacris, Chris Brown, T.I., & Swizz Beatz as well! Enjoy!
N*E*R*D “Everyone Nose RMX” f/ Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, & Pusha T
VIDEO PREMIERE!
Thanks 2 S-Preme in our Jabbify, I was able 2 catch the world premiere of the long-anticipated “Everyone Nose RMX” on BET’s 106 & Park and thx 2 Connie over @ OnSmash w/ the send-thru, we have the video online and above @ GWHH! I was expecting big things from the video and it delivered. I love the crazy, fresh effects throughout and the video game / electronic type elements illustrated, w/ everyone lookin’ and actin’ all fly throughout the video. It definitely personifies the style of N*E*R*D and its equally fresh guest features - Kanye, Lupe, & Pusha T from Clipse. I’ve also been thinking about who delivers the best verse out of the 4 in this track for quite some time now, and I’ma throw it out there that if I had 2 choose one who really really killed it, it’s Pusha T. His flow is just ridiculous over the awesome beat and people shouldn’t sleep on him w/ CRS likely overshadowing him on this song 2 the casual fan. Any thoughts on this as well? Chat or comment away! (I should note tho that Kanye, and Lupe especially shine brighter lyrically..) It’s a MUST-WATCH video so please take the time 2 check it out above! That’s all I really got for now, besides a boatload of trax and other videos for ya below! Hip hop, R&B, Underground, Mainstream, something for everyone so just check it out below! Enjoy!

The Cool Kids Interview @ Lollapalooza
Lollapalooza just wrapped up this weekend - a 3 day music festival featuring over 100 artists, including Chicago heavyweights, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Rhymefest, & The Cool Kids. Some videos of the performances have surfaced the net and u can see them above, especially if you missed the show. Unfortunately, I was unable 2 attend w/ work all weekend so I personally can’t tell u how it was, but the lucky people who were there have been sharing nothing but great reviews! Above, Kanye kills “Put On”, Lupe Fiasco does some pushups, stretching, and even a backflip before launching into “Kick, Push” (haha, that’s great), Rhymefest destroys the stage with “Brand New”, & definitely check out the high quality interview with Mikey Rocks from The Cool Kids where u can learn more about the artist himself and his excitement 2 be @ Lollapalooza! Down below, check out a few trax, especially the rapper K-Smith & R&B singer Mario with their collaboration “Human Nature”. K-Smith drops a few nice lines with Mario sounding awesome over that beat. The Lloyd, U.K. Bonus Track is also somethin’ both R&B and hip hop fans would like! Enjoy!

Many of the trax have already been released here @ GWHH exclusively, but there are still some unreleased gems 2 be had, including “I Ain’t Gonna Front (Pt. 2)” & “Complete Love”. Bullet checks in with a ridiculous Chicago twisted flow and the album is littered w/ clever wordplay, celebrity/music references, and no cursing! Bullet is definitely on 2 somethin w/ this album and is another fresh artist 2 come out of the Go with a strong debut and overall unique style. Much love as always 2 Bullet! Also be sure 2 add Bullet on MySpace HERE (as he updates his MySpace with a bunch of cool news and features). Enjoy!
Back from the doc with some updates for ya eyes and ears, including a very unique, NEW track from Common that he debuted above in a live performance! The beat between the chorus and the verses changes drastically, which is very interesting, but most of all, Common KILLS it, spitting every word clearly live and droppin’ names like Kimbo Slice and Michael Vick very cleverly. I mean, are you not entertained?? Haha, down below, u can DL 12 NEW trax from artists like the late J. Dilla, Kardinal Offishall, Chris Brown, Lloyd, & MANY MORE! Just peep them below and DL, along with The Cool Kids performing live on Jimmy Kimmel and getting some more much deserved mainstream pub. Enjoy!
