The Voice, in fact Mike Jones' voice was kept on the low lately, but he's back to yell that he's still here. Who ? Mikes Jones. But the listening of The Voice is not what any Texas fan would expect. I put some high hopes on this album because I was pretty amazed by his former EP, The American Dream. But I guess the dream is over for me now, because Mike Jones delivers a painful and unoriginal effort. It might please some programs directors with some joints easy to ride to, but that doesn't work on me for this time.
Mike Jones - The Voice : Review
Tech N9ne - Red Nose
This one of my favourite release of the moment, Tech N9ne new collabo CD "Sickology 101". And this is definitely one of the best cuts on the LP. Check out this video for the deep and meaningful song : "Red Nose".
Marky - Nothing Is 43ver : Review
Washington D.C. is a epicentre of "what's revolutionnary" right now. Yes, I am talking about President Barack Obama... and Yes, I am talking about Marky ! That's a very audacious parallel, isn't it ? But that's the kind of earth quake, I felt when I put my headphones on for Marky's Nothing is 43ver.
Marky, himself, breaks it down very well : DC has no particular musical influence. So he cooks up something new for the listener and paves the way to his own destiny : what he introduces as "The Sweet Taste Of Victory".
I don't want my words to mess up with your own imagination on this CD because sometimes I get barely objective when it comes to something I like. So I'm gonna stop talking and I'll let you make up your own mind about it. It's on free download right here ->
The Game & Snoop Dogg - On The Block
I've got the West Coast on (very) heavy rotation for a few weeks (months/years) in my iPod, so pardon my "non-stop West Coast posts". But once again, it's really worth it ! The Game & Snoop Dogg team up on a new track for the upcoming Don Cannon & DJ Skee mixtape, Made In America.
Daz Dillinger - Tell Me What You Got
A much better track off "Public Enemiez" but a cheapest video by Daz Dillinger.
Daz Dillinger - In My Neighborhood
New video from Daz Dillinger : "In My Neighborhood" off his upcoming album "Public Enemiez".
Butch Cassidy - Fast Car
Butch Cassidy is finally free to drop his first solo effort, "First & Last" (dropping next month !). And his first single (which will hopefully be his last auto-tune attempt - finger crossed) is a remake of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car". As a big fan of B.C., this single is pretty trash. But I am gonna support Butch Cassidy because he really deserves it anyway.
Jay'Ton - Hood Wired Up (feat. J-Dawg & Lil Boss)
Easter kinda took me away from my blog... but I am back with one of my favourite artists : Jay'Ton who drops a new video. The track is off his upcoming mixtape "Got It By Tha Ton"
Willy Northpole - Hood Dreamer Featurin Bobby Ray (B.o.B.)
My statement of the day : this song is hot ! Don't sleep on it ! Phoenix and ATL, it's on. "Put your hands in the skyyyyyy"
Shawn Jay (Field Mob) - Underground Platinum
I told you about Chevy P, and now I am fully satisfied becauce Shawn Jay (the other half of Field Mob) is also dropping his own mixtape, "Underground Platinum". That's twice as much music from the Kentucky dirty duo. That's enough to please my demanding mp3 player.
Chevy P (Field Mob) - GrandMomma Tried Vol.1
I was skimming through my cd library the other to listen to my "From The Roota To The Toota" album, and after a disappointing album under the wings of Ludacris, I was hoping for some new Field Mob. Today, I am half satisfied, because one half of Field Mob dropped a new mixtape.
I am talking about Chevy P (formerly known as Smoke) with a very good mixtape, "GrandMomma Tried Vol.1". Let's hope that his GrandMa' will try a Vol.2. Courtesy of dirtyglovebastard.
Rich Boy - Pacc Man (Mixtape)
Rich Boy is hungry for fame, and he's gonna gobble success like "Pacc Man", hence the title of his new mixtape. And when Rich Boy drops new materials, it should always make the headlines (but it doesn't actually... that's bad). Courtesy of nahright.
Stat Quo - The Invisible Man
Stat Quo is shaping up ! He dropped in a few months more music than in a few years, and his latest contribution to the music industry is a new mixtape, "The Invisible Man". Maybe that's how he was looked upon when he was bound with Shady/Aftermath... who knows ?
Method Man & Redman - A-Yo (feat. Saukrates)
"Backout 2" is getting closer and closer. The dynamic duo, Meth' and Red, premieres his new video A-Yo.
Tha Eastsidaz - Gang Bang Muzic: Frequency Of The Streets
For all the West Coast heads that have been waiting for this 3rd album of Tha Eastsidaz, the time has comed to unveil this remastered version of "Gang Bang Muzic" that was meant to never surface. Indeed, it takes a miracle to make music when you got one of your boys (Tray Dee) convicted to 12 years behind bars ! Courtesy of youngthug23.

Hussein Fatal - They Don't Get It
Fatal Hussein who just released his new mixtape "Pain Muzik" puts out a lil freestyle on video. It's pretty dope !
Jadakiss - The Last Kiss : Review
The most romantic (by his albums name) rapper of the game, Jadakiss, throws his "Last Kiss" in hopes of offering us and himself the classic he deserves. Indeed, his first two efforts left a sour taste in our mouth, despite huge hits, because we all know Jada "sounds so good" and that he can do much better... (or maybe our brains are not ready).
The Last kiss starts very har like he unleashed a pitbull inside a kindergarten. You get so frantic you start mimicking Jada's guttural "Aaaaah", and you got the feeling that this album is gonna be huge. But then, "The Last Kiss" follows the footsteps of its predecessors, with tracks that are not so relevant and whose replay-value is pretty limited. However, we are talking about Jadakiss, right ? His lyrical push-ups keep on advertising us until the end of the album. A solid album that inequally satisfy us but which is definetely worth being on your "What I have to listen right now... and in a few months" list.
Trick Daddy - What Dey Do featuring BadGuy & Desloc
The Floridian rapper, Trick Daddy, is making moves. He's putting the final touches on his 8th album, "Finally Famous : Born A Thug, Die A Thug". Music heals wounded souls, so let's pray that it will also cure Trick Daddy from the cancer he has stopped taking medication for. Anyway, legends never die, but thugs do... hence that prophetical name for a new album, that we hope won't be his last. For the moment, enjoy his new song.
Proof - No Hoes
First off, this is not new at all. But for a few hours now, I've been spending time in Big Proof's pantheon, listening to some of his best cuts and to some unknown stuff, like this song "No Hoes", that I wanted to share with you folks. R.I.P. Deshaun Holton aka Big Proof !
Asher Roth - Perfectionist Featuring Beanie Sigel & Rock City
The hype is huge about Asher Roth right now but I've just started to get acquainted with his music, yeah I'm kinda slow or reluctant when it comes to mass hysteria about one artist. I wasn't fond of "Lark On My Go-Kart", but I have to admit that this new song is pure heat with an amazing B.Sig'. Enough said...
Young Life - My Life
This song doesn't stand out by its musical originality but there is a nice vibe. I leave you make your own opinion about this Compton kid named Young Life.
Mims - Guilt : Review
In 2007, Mims explained us why he was hot, and in 2009, "Guilt" tries to claim he stills is - or just is. So does the Washington Heigths rapper live up to the low expectations that many had about him, the so-called one-hit wonder ?
To be honest, I liked his first album mainly because it meant something special to me. Indeed, "This is why I'm hot" was the first song I heard on the radio when I traveled first to NYC. And I am the kind of guy who cares about these little details of life. So I was eager to listen to some new Mims materials.
I inserted "Guilt" in my computer cd player, pressed play and started this journey into the unexpected. I skipped the first two tracks, which we usually call fillers, and whose lifetime is inferior to 1 or 2 plays. But then "On And On" appeared, and this catchy song was about to shatter my apprehension about "Guilt". So I was like : "How is gonna be track #4? A-a new banger or B-a girly-nappy R'n'B joint ?" Mims gave the answer B. I was about to give credit to Mims' haters until I reached track #6 (I didn't feel his single "Move" neither). "One Day" was the right shift to Mims epic story and "Chasing Sunshine" just nailed it.
"Guilt" is an inconstant effort but when it comes to hot tracks, Mims knows his thing. He makes them reach another dimension, and also thanks to smart collaborations. Anyway, don't sleep on this album because it is kinda hot.
DJ Quik & Kurupt - Hey Playa!
Don't listen to weather forecasts, Summer is already here thanks to the West Coast vets DJ Quik & Kurupt whose common project, "Blaqkout" is due June 9th (and they seemed to have fun recording it). This new track "Hey Playa!" is damn catchy. Now all I need is a beach and a pinacolada.
Chamillionaire Feat. J.Holiday - Relax
"Chamillitary Mayne", that's the 2 words that pop to my mind everytime I come across something about the Texas rapper. And my latest finding is this new song.
Nipsey Hussle - All My Life
I guess you know now that when it comes to Nipsey Hu$$le, I gotta post it... enjoy this video of Nipsey reversing Jay Rock's single "All My Life".
D.O.E. - The Fall (feat. D.V. Alias Khryst)
D.O.E. (Dominate Over Everyone), Timbo's new protégé, dropped last year one of my favorite mixtape of 2008, "The Fall Of John Doe, The Rise Of D.O.E", and this song was among the best cuts, so I am sure you'll fall for it too (nice wordplay).
Marky - Nothing is 43ever
The wait is over, because Marky's "Nothing is 43ever" is now avaible on free download. So what the hell are you doing now ? Go download it !
or
Mikes Jones - Swagger Right Now
We are still in Texas with this video, the brand new Mike "I am skinny now" Jones single "Swagger Right Now". I didn't like he his music at first, except that "Still Tippin" joint, but since his latest EP, I think he keeps improving.
Download : http://sharebee.com/ec3cf758
Jay'Ton feat Trae & Yung Quis - We Here
I told you Jay'Ton would drop bombs. And the first deflagration is this banger "We Here" featuring his brother Trae and Young Quis. Enough with that chitchat, press play.
Marky - Delusional
In a few weeks or months (or whenever you want), you'll find yourself saying "Did you hear about that Washington DC kid named Marky ? - Damn, his music hot, take my headphones and listen". I'm saying that, but that's exactly what happened to me when I was with my cousin earlier. And that's what I am doing right now.
His mini-album, "Nothing is 43ver" (tracklisting above) will be out really soon... let's say Friday ! You're lucky, you won't have to wait long . For now, just press play :
D12 On Tour
You like D-Twizzy ? They are touring Europe and they are going to perform around the globe during the next few weeks.
Follow their international trip here (thanks RapBasement.com), with some exclusive footages from to their special reporter : Rondell Beene.
Rich Boy - It's Over
Rich Boy is one of these artists who hardly disappoint me. He dropped his debut album in 2007, I liked it, he dropped his mixtape "Bigger Than The Mayor" in 2008, and i liked it. So you guess how I feel about this track.
Young Dro - Dro Rock Diamonds
He made your "shoulder lean" and now he's about to make your head nodd on his new joint... I am talking about Young Dro with "Dro Rock Diamonds". You gotta like this !
Young Dro - Dro Rock Diamonds
UGK - UGK 4 Life : Review
It was a sunny day (or not) in Port Arthur, TX, in 1987 when Chad Butler (Pimp C) and Bernard Freeman (Bun B) decided to form Underground Kingz. They wanted to tell their own stories but they ended up writing one of hip hop's biggest legacy, UGK, 22 years later. But in the meantime, Pimp C died tragically, not far from the stars, in a hotel room in Hollywood.
But after all, could this story, sorry legacy, have a happy ending ? We have a straight answer with their ultimate album, "UGK 4 Life". For all their fans, it will always sound like a never-ending encore, with Pimp C & Bun B at their finest. And we probably feel this way because UGK's biggest fan overviewed the whole project, and yes I am talking about Bun B. Now UGK will definitely be 4 Life, and yes it was a sunny day for us in 1987 in Port Arthur.
Tech N9ne featuring Crooked I & Chino XL - Sickology 101
When 3 of the hottest lyricsts get together on the same record , what can occur ? They spit fire on a 3min42-track, leaving the listener speechless ? Yep, it's the same ol' story...
Boo Rossini - Feed The Streets
There are different 2 types of rappers : Those who come from nowhere and go straight to the top thanks to one great (or not) single or a clever collab, and there are talented guys who've been in the game for years and who hussle their way to the top. Boo Rossini is this 2nd type of rapper.
After many years of rapping, local recognition, 5 indie albums, 1 failed deal with Interscope, he's still here doing his thang, hoping to grasp success. But his day is about to come... Just listen to his latest mixtape "Feed The Streets", and you'll feel the same way about him too.
French Montana - New York Minute (featuring Jadakiss)
You don't have the right to skip that track. French Montana & Jadakiss deliver great verses for a great track. This is typically the NYC music I like, from the sample to the flows, everything just fits.
Finale - T.I.M.E. (Think Innovate Move Endure)
7 days to wait until his new album "A Pipe Dream And A Promise" comes out. And 7 days within you can get acquainted with Finale, if you haven't yet, thanks to his pre-album mixtape : T.I.M.E. (Think Innovate Move Endure).
UGK - Da Game Been Good to Me
The new single from UGK, "Da Game Been Good To Me" has been clipped. This is my favorite joint off the album, but somehow it makes me kinda melancholic... no more UGK nor Pimp C. Indeed, that would weaken anybody's heart.
Slim Thug - Perfect 10
Ok, one more entry about Slim Thug... about it's always worth it, I swear !
Here's a iTunes bonus from his brand new album "Boss Of All Bosses". In this kind of situation, I always wonder why it didn't make the final cut... on a 13-track-album, while the track is pretty hot. Slim, please don't play it cheap next time !
Camp Lo - On Smash / '89 of Crime (feat. Styles P)
Let's get this beautiful day starting with a hot track served on a nice black & white video (which previews 2 tracks). The beat is verry addictive... "Meanie meanie meanie meanie meanie" !
Trap - 747 Fly
"Ladies & Gentleman, we are arriving at Phoenix, AZ, the sun is shining, temperature's very warm and there's a fucking new rap talent named Trap. Make sure you get all your belongings before you leave the aircraft. Thank you and press play !"
Until today, the only rappers I knew from Phoenix (which is a city I really love) were MC Magic and his folks from the NB Ridaz. Now I can say, I know them + Trap. Before that, I had made a few researches about the Phoenix rap scene without finding any interesting flows, even though I was convinced there were some undiscovered talents out there. I guess Trap was one of them, but he succesfully made his way through our ears.
Make sure you download his mixtape which is avaible on free download. It made a very huge impression on me, and on some other 40,000 people (according to Trap's myspace). The future's defenitely here !
Here is a sample, so you can make your own mind first.
Slim Thug - I Run (Remix) Featuring Brisco, Nipsey Hussle, Yo Gotti & E-40
New remix for the intergalactic banger "I Run" (yeah, I really like that song) with some new talents, confirmed talents and the veteran E-40. They should blend that one with the former remix with Chamillionaire and Z-Ro, that would make a stratospheric hit !
Slim Thug - I Run (Remix) Featuring Brisco, Nipsey Hussle, Yo Gotti & E-40 http://sharebee.com/c9b2b925
Jay-Z - Maybe (No Tags)
Our boy Hov' is back in the building with a new (short length) track, "Maybe". I read somewhere this was a leftover of "American Gangster", I am not sure... so maybe, maybe not.
The track has been circulation with tags, but here is the untagged version.
Paul Wall - Bizzy Body (feat. Webbie)
The Texas boy, Paul Wall will release his 7th album (yep already), "The Fast Life" on May 12th. The lead single is "Bizzy Bone", and you can watch the video right now.
I'm kinda disappointed with this track... not really outstanding.
Bun B, Mike Jones - I Know Rap People : Texas Edition (XXL)
It's pretty fun to watch. Bun B & Mike Jones taking a quiz to (try to) prove they know their Texan rap fellows.
St Lunatics - St Lunatics
Do you remember 2001 and an album entitled "Free City" ? The first single was "Batter Up" ! Nah ? Ok, maybe I was one of the few people who actually liked that cd (I like some unexpected stuff sometimes) enough to remember it, and to be happy with that news !
The St Louis crew is coming back with a new eponym single, "St Lunatics" and I am pretty amazed because it goes way beyond my expectations. It doesn't sound like their former record at all. So I'm pretty sure that, this time, I won't be the only one to like it, will I ?
That's how I like Nelly and his homeboys to spit on a beat. And I hope that's they'll keep that level of rapping on their upcoming album "City Free" is gonna sound like.
This beat kinda reminds me of DMX's song "Where The Hood At"
Trae featuring Mistah Fab - The Real Life
Trae has a sovietic state of mind these days... producing music non-stop. One month after the collab cd with Rob G, "Both Sides Of The Fence", which is really worth it by the way, we got this new track with the Yellow Bus Boy, Mistah Fab. And the resultat is just as good.
I will write a bigger post about that cd with Rob G soon, because it doesn't deserve to be slept on like that.
Finale - Jungle Music
You must have ticked the date of April 7th on your calendar if you like Finale (his album "A Pipe Dream And A Promise" release date), but get ready for a new mixtape, "T.I.M.E.", by your favorite or not Detroit rapper. It will be out in a few days, before the album release, and here is a preview track :
Kutt Calhoun - Bunk Rock Bitch featuring Tech N9ne
This song is off Kutt Kalhoun's sophomore album "Feature Presentation", one of the most slept-on albums of 2008.
I went bonkers as soon as I pressed play several months ago. So what are you waiting to press play too ?
Eminem - We Made You (video shoot)
Eminem's video for his brand new single "We Made You" (produced by Dr. Dre) will supposedly be broadcasted April 7th. And the buzz has been growing even more since these pictures of the shooting leaked. For those who still wonder, 50 Cent is only making a cameo.
The record itself should be out anytime soon so "keep your ears glued to the stereo" !
Bubba Sparxxx - Beatin Down Da Block ft. Dirt Reynolds
"Bubba ? Why have you been hiding for so long ?" That's the question I asked myself when I found this track. I've always liked Bubba so I'm glad he's making some new tracks, or at least one. Let's face it, it is not an outstanding song but still pretty decent.
Classified - Anybody Listening
I gave yesterday a 4-star-rating to the sophomore album, "Self Explanatory", of the rapper/producer Classified. And you're 1 click away from knowing why.
Slaughterhouse - Move On
I love this crew, it was so unexpected at first to see them boys together (Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9" & Crooked I) but they did. Sometimes rappers can do something else than dissing eachother... they collaborate !
Ethemadassassin - Walk In My Shoes
Great track (which ain't really new... out for a year now) by Ethemadassassin. I don't know much about him, so I will let the music speak for itself. Enjoy !
