wale - family affair

wale's "chillin" video came at the beginning of the month. and just a few days ago, a second video came out for the track "family affair."

this track, a little bit more serious and real than chillin, features the story of 3 people. check it out.

weezy & kobe

new weezy flow on kobe doin' work.

wale video - chillin

been waiting for this for a while. album drops next week. wale's going to rock it this year.

new drake

canadian rapper and famed actor from degrassi, drake is making a lot of noise this year. arguably owning one of the best mix tapes out right now, he's put out one more...the drought is over.

the official album, thank me later is slated to come out in 2010 or earliest next christmas., being produced by jay-z and lil wayne.

you can download the mixtape here: the drought is over

stars and stripes project

this is unreal. adrian champion, a hip hop head tells a story on his site of how he came across the white stripes later than most people, and was fully enamored by their music. being a fan of hip hop, he realized he needed to do something so other hip hop fanatics who would maybe not even know who the white stripes were...would be educated.

so he did it. with samples and remixes.

with jay z, nas, mop, mos def, pharoah monche, busta rhymes, kanye west, redman, eminem, common, outkast, biggie and tupac. check out the trailer here:




you can download the album at www.starsandstripesproject.com

look up in the sky

check out lupe giving michigan a small taste of what the new album "lasers" is going to sound like.

wale gettin it

if you haven't listened to any of wale's mixtapes, then you are slacking. this dc native totally gets it, and his music is pure. his lyrics are eloquently on point. and he just is straight up dope across every board.

he's got two mixtapes circulating right now, everywhere. you've got "the mixtape about nothing" and "100 miles and running" both equally good in their own eclectic right. his album is supposed to be released this coming summer, entitled "attention deficit."

dude is currently on tour, and has a track getting major play on all the radios, "chillin" featuring lady gaga.

last night, he kinda leaked some info about his upcoming album...and needless to say he's got a lot of people on the album. here's just some of the few people he's got on the record:

- qtip
- jazmine sullivan
- k'naan
- melanie fiona
- joe budden
- bun
- cool and dre
- colin munroe
- tre and ucb

and there's still more out there. pay attention to this man...he's going to be making some news.

kanye is amazing

new music video for kanye's track "amazing." directed by hype williams.

it's an interesting video, with great back drops. check it. peep the interview at the end.

dat new cudi

it's been a minute...been all over the place lately, but there's a lot of good music and life going on out there... so ima try to catch up a bit. kid cudi put out a new mix tape last week... here's the trailer video they did for it. pretty cool.

gay fish

kanye on south park...

how it was supposed to be

ryan leslie already made a video for this track...but he made another one, simply because he had another idea, and wanted to do it. this time around though, there was no budget for it...so he produced, directed and created it on his own...midway through the project, he pulled tyson beckford into the project to help direct it.

check it out.

mos def - wow

mos def on camera, telling the world he can beat jay-z and lil wayne on a freestyle battle.

whoa. he's a little...hmm...what's the word?

poke her face

kid cudi. kanye west. common. a-trak.

and yes, a little lady gaga.

done.

k'naan's touchdown

k'naan is slowly getting more and more exposure in the u.s. since his album release in february. he was just in new york filming for a new promotional video for the nfl, featuring his track "dreamer."

he's finally getting the well-deserved recognition that he needs, but i can see some people looking at the nfl promo as odd, for the song, and even his whole style. nonetheless, i'm glad the name is getting out there.

ebrahim

a friend resurrected one of those unknown artists for me today. soulful dude, remarkable voice and perfect beats on the album.

but nevermind the album for a minute, and check out this quick video of him on his mixer...making magic happen

airline hip hop

pretty dope. we need more of these cats on airlines.
