It is about time we got some Kanye material like this.  It has been a while since Ye’ has blessed us with a song of straight rapping (aside from guest appearances).  I do not know where the track comes from but it is possibly a leak/single from a recording session for his next album, Good Ass Job.  The King Crimson sample is a nice touch as well… Download: Kanye West- Power [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tweet

I found this gem the other day on Hype Machine and it comes from DJ Dizzy, who is someone I know nothing about.  However, the guy fuses Biggie’s “Juicy” with Aloe Blacc’s hit from the How To Make It in America intro perfectly….Enjoy.

Here’s another song off of T.I.’s upcoming release, King Uncaged,  featuring Keri Hilson.  The beat for this song reminds me exactly of Keri’s hit from last summer, “Knock You Down”…a decent track that will undoubtedly be all over the radio in a little bit…Enjoy.

So recently I have been listening to a lot of Gang Starr and I figured it would only be right to remind yall of the best duo to ever make music in my opinion.  DJ Premier kills it on the boards scratching and sampling while Guru comes with his monotone flow.  So just enjoy the perfect sound that these two created and celebrate the great work they created…..R.I.P.

Donnis drops his first leak from his mixtape Fashionably Late coming out on June 22nd.  The Atlantic signee is going to drop the mixtape, Fashionably Late, as well as an EP on the same day according to Nah Right.  The track is produced by one of Donnis’ go-to-guys by the name of Needlz.  The beat features a perfectly timed (in my opinion) Rihanna sample that clearly fits the title of the track.  Enjoy… Download: Donnis- Yup (Prod. Needlz) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tweet

For the loyal fanbase out there, I’m working a lot during the daytime this summer, so I’m lacking the free time to post that I used to have during the college glory days.  This summer, I’ll be posting more at night, so check the site after the sun sets if you need some of my style.  This past week I’ve been trying to get re-adjusted to my summer schedule, so apologies for the lack of posts…but there has been a ton of good music going around so I have some gems up my sleeve.  Finally, I did change my name … Continue reading →

Here is a brand new mixtape from A-track called Dirty South Dance 2.  I have not listened to the whole thing yet, but there are definitely some good joints on here.  My favorite is  track 8, titled “Carte Blanche”.  Enjoy… Tweet

So I  went to see Johnny Cupcakes at  Georgetown Cupcake in D.C. and it  was an awesome time.  I picked up some limited/exclusive tees and got to meet Johnny and his staff.  If you do not know who Johnny Cupcakes is, he  is a super dope entrepreneur that started his own clothing line with all limited edition shirts.  His background story is very cool and pretty inspiring.  Johnny was named Entrepreneur of the Year in 2008 by BusinessWeek and it was definitely unique to see a man who runs a multi-million dollar clothing company stand outside for hours and talk … Continue reading →

Dead Prez decided to give everyone a little treat for Mother’s Day yesterday and give out a piece from his upcoming mixtape with DJ Drama.  The song is over B.o.B’s hit single, “Nothin’ On You”, and the mixtape, titled Revolutionary But Gangsta Grillz, is dropping June 10th.

So I got back in D.C. this past Tuesday and have been working like crazy all week, hence the lack of posts recently.  But I will get away from my lame excuses and back to the music.  These songs are all just tracks I aquired in random places, but they all fell into the depths of my iTunes and I recently rediscovered them.  There is a good mixture of jams…Enjoy Big Sean- Made (Feat. Drake) I am not sure if this track is off of Big Sean’s debut or not, but it is still pretty good. [Audio clip: view full … Continue reading →
