Mp3: Broken Bells - High Road
The long awaited project of James Mercer and Dangermouse, Broken Bells, as finally a sound to be associated with as they released a free song to download for all of us to hear and I have to say that I like what I’m hearing so far, making me even more hyped for their self-titled LP which is due to March 9th 2010, so stay tuned for more infos as we make our way towards the date.

Video/Mp3: Jay-Z - Young Forever ft. Mr. Hudson
This video needs no introduction as this is the visuals for one of the stand out track of Hov latest effort. Combining Jay and Mr. Hudson seems like a perfect match as they take a fresh spin on Alphaville’s Forever Young song. Run This Town, Empire State of Mind and this song are all good and all, but I personally cannot wait until Jay decides to put out A Star Is Born as a single.

Mp3: Lady GaGa - Reloaded ft. Rodney Jerkins
Here’s a new GaGa track in collab, once again with Darkchild, but not only does he produced the song, but he also dropped a verse, which is a ‘rap’ verse none the less.

Alright, sorry for the lack of posts, but I’ve been caught up due to my christmas vacations, this is in fact one of the first posts before the whole annual christmas blackout due of me moving to my folks for a week or two, where I don’t have access to internet except from old ass computers. Yes, I do not blog from a laptop, but from desktop computers. Anyway, before the whole merry...

Mp3: Robin Thicke - Sex Therapy ft. Ludacris...
Ludacris wears his R&B hat as he goes over Robin Thicke single Sex Therapy off his latest album that also shares the name of the song. A nice change of pace for a Luda’s song.

Mp3: Jay Electronica - Exhibit C (Prod. by Just...
Alright, I’ve seen Jay Electronica’s name around, but I’m pretty sure this is also the first time that I post anything about him, but I guess that having the name of Just Blaze attached to a track does, in fact, raise everyone’s attention including mine. So yeah, Just Blaze on the beat, Jay Electronica on the flow, making a pretty good track all around. This song is also...

Mp3: D. Julien - Prove 'Em Wrong
D. Julien was probably one of the first name that I heard and didn’t know about when I first got into this whole blogging game. I believe that this is actually the first time that I posted about him though, he sent me his spanking new track, Prove ‘Em Wrong and here’s what he had to say about it:
“If you’ve ever been chasing a dream, had a goal and was focused but...

Video: Mustard - Creep (Radiohead Cover) on Opie &...
Alright, so Opie and Anthony has a segment on their show where they get to send homeless men to upscale clothings stores to shop, I’m not really sure how this is labeled as entertainment, but whatever, I never actually listened to the show, so I cannot say if the homeless guy actually gets to buy clothes or not.
Anyway, so during a preliminary interview to the shopping, a homeless guy...

If I could name this week as something, it probably would be named something along the lines of the Young Money leak week, as alot of their tracks made it’s way to the internet as their debut album, We Are Young Money, is right around the corner and prepping to hit the shelves on December 21st.

Mp3: Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind Pt. 2 ft....
Here’s another Alicia Keys joint, and while I still thought the original version was better than Alicia Keys take of Jay’s Empire State Of Mind, this Green Lantern engineered remix featuring Raekwon, Capone-N-Noreaga & Style P, while still not better than the original version, does in fact give it a run for it’s money.

Trailer: Robin Hood
It was about damn time for Russell Crowe to come back to his ass-kicking roots, since ass-kicking is what he does best, and bring us the epic tale Gladiator 2 Robin Hood.

It’s actually hard to find a follow up to a major release like Drop The World of Lil Wayne, but you can’t get enough of Alicia Keys, I mean come on … Anyway, she was on Late Night with David Letterman to promote her newest album The Element of Freedom with her latest single Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart.

Mp3: Lil Wayne - Drop The World ft. Eminem
This is probably the most anticipated track off Lil Wayne’s upcoming punk-rock album, Rebirth. If I have this right, this is the second collaboration, or at least, the second time that we see Lil Wayne and Eminem on the same track, counting Forever as the first one, even though that one was more of a collective effort than being the track of one or the other in particular (even though it...

Mp3: The xx - Crystalized on Carson Daly
So The xx did their US nation tv debut on Carson Daly last friday. If you don’t know who The xx are, well wake up mang, as Carson says in the video, they are probably the UK’s most buzzed new act as of now, but I’ll let MTV alumni Carson Daly say more as he’s been on point with his wikipedia business to describe who they are in prologue of their performance in the...

Mp3: Charles Hamilton - Air Agains
Here’s a third leak of Charles Hamilton upcoming project, Normalcy, due to drop this week, which I awaits just a little bit. What I’m really waiting for is all the things surrounding the release, if Charles Hamilton will fall back to his old habits of getting rocked in the face by girls and lying about doing post-mortem collaborations with highly respected mcs. I guess only time will...

Mp3: QuEST - Love Until We Bleed ft. Lykke Li
This QuEST bloke has been heavily featured on WDiR in 2009, and I payed attention, but I guess that I should have payed more attention as this song just comes off as a slap in the face for not doing so in the first place. Not only does he take up a song of one of my favorite female artist Lykke Li, but his flow is just flawless from beginning to end.

Video/Mp3: Juelz Santana - Back To The Crib ft....
Here’s the video for the first material that had Chris Brown attached to it after his whole Rihanna debacle. The video is the usual ‘hanging out up the club’ with Juelz doing his stuff, back on his grind and Breezy doing the usual dancing/singing business. Decent song, could have gone a bit harder though, no homo.
And man, give Chris Brown a break already, all this fuckery...

Video/Mp3: Mike Posner - Drug Dealer Girl
Damn, this Mike Posner bloke surely knows how to put up a video. Rosa Acosta is just plain stunning in there, but then again I bet all that studying sociology at Duke University shows you stuff like how to make a video more marketable. His flow reminds me of another act that I can’t put my finger on as of now, but I’ll let everyone know if I do.

Mp3: Wale - Say Something (Freestyle)
Here’s a new Wale joint, that he released via his twitter account. As the title of the song might suggest, Wale goes over Timbo’s latest single instrumental, Say Something. The song does not really fits Wale, not only because I think very lowly of this Timbo’s beat, but I also think that Wale should stick to go-go, up and energetic beats, but you know, props to him for reaching...

Mp3: Lupe Fiasco - Blackout ft. Trey Songz
This Lupe song was first heard as a bonus track that came out with the release of Lupe’s last album, The Cool, in Japan. The song was slightly different though, as this track is an alternative take of it by having Trey Songz hop on the chorus … and that’s pretty much it.

Mp3: Sage Francis - Gimme Dat (Prod. by Buck 65)
Here’s a new Sage Francis track, a song that is not part of any project Sage Francis is involved in as of yet. And for the record, I am still waiting for the follow up to his 2007 great album Human the Dance Death.
ps. the artwork that I received with the song looked like something that would get posted on Perez Hilton, but what do you know, it is real.

Here’s what he had to say to describe this new...

Video/Mp3: Lupe Fiasco - Solar Midnite ft....
This song was leaked 2 months ago, while the whole Twilight hype was still building up. I believe this is the first video footage that we actually see Japanese Cartoon in living flesh, but we also see footage of the movie which in turn, does not really interest me at all.
“Solar Midnite is my first commercial release that I actually produced as well as wrote. The New Moon team asked me if I...

Mp3: Drake - Runaway Girl ft. Colin Munroe
This Drake / Colin Munroe collab first surfaced on the internet awhile ago named as Material Girl and was featured on the Heartbreak Drake 3 mixtape, but as the name change might suggest, it was an unfinished and tagged version. The final version has finally been released for everyone to hear, which let you hear this Canadian duo in all it’s glory.

Mp3: Young Jeezy - Scared Money ft. Lil Wayne
Here’s a new Jeezy’s track, Scared Money, that will appear on his upcoming Thug Motivation 103 project. The song goes on it’s usual business, talking about money, not being scared and what it’s like to be a thug. Just a regular day in the lives of these southland rappers.

Here’s the official video for Fiddy, Do You Think About Me featuring Governor, which I personally think being one of the better song off his latest album, Before I Self Destruct. Also having Tamala Jones, Vivica A. Fox & Tahiry in a video is never a bad idea.

Mp3: Vinnie Paz - Street Wars ft. Clipse
I have to say that seeing the names of Vinnie Paz and the Clipse together on the same track looked odd to me at first, but after hearing the track, I have to say that Clipse really succeeds to pull their needle out of the stack perfectly and feels right at home with this heavy beat that Vinnie Paz is known for with Jedi Mind Trick. The song will featured on Vinnie Paz upcoming album,...

Video/Mp3: Phantogram - Mouthful of Diamonds
I stumbled upon this video randomly, and being a band that I had never heard before, I just decided to play it and went ahead with my usual business while the music was playing in the background, and I have to admit that as soon as the music kicked in, I dropped my usual business and checked out the video in it’s fullest even if it was a live studio performance.

Alright, so here’s a new one from Robin Thicke’s upcoming album Sex Therapy, which is due to drop on December 15th. The song is called Elevatas and features the Cleveland-born MC that you may know as KiD CuDi, where he sounds right at home on this smooth beat.

Here’s the video for Lil Wayne’s super-crew Young Money song, Bedrock, featuring one of the most cheesiest line heard this month ‘Call me Mr. Flintstone’, next to most of the lyrics of R. Kelly song Pregnant. It’s funny to see how far Drake has come, because if you think about it, he is known as Drake and not just some dude in Lil Wayne’s Young Money. Also,...

Mp3: Charles Hamilton - Loserville
Oh oh ohhh, another track of recently ressurected Charles Hamilton. Seems to be handling his comeback fairly well as this sounds not only better than everything he previously released, but he seems to keep away from all the bullshit that sank his ship in the first place, but I wouldn’t get myself ahead too soon, as while everything seems more organized, he’s still into all the...

After the Forever remix that Aoki released last week, here’s another remix, turning the smooth KiD CuDi/RATATAT collaboration, Pursuit of Happiness, that appeared on CuDi’s debut album, into a more upbeat tempo track, that will probably make it’s turns up in the clubs to make sure to make you shake your booty.

Mp3: Lil Wayne - Da Da Da
Here’s another leak off Lil Wayne’s upcoming rock project, Rebirth, entitled Da Da Da. Sounds fairly punk-rocky and the amount is just enough for being associated with Lil Wayne. While Da Da Da sounds pretty generic, it’s no better than Akon’s Na Na Na’s when you think about it.

Video/Mp3: Shakira - Did It Again ft. KiD CuDi
Here’s the video for the Did It Again remix featuring CuDi. This is apparently the original video except for the addition of the scenes with CuDi, which happened much later on. Which also explains the lack of display of CuDi’s bed ninja skills as those scenes were all part of the original one.

Mp3: Lil Wayne - On Fire (Prod. by Cool & Dre)
While Drake has probably taken Lil Wayne’s spot as the artist releasing the most stuff lately, don’t count him out yet, as Lil Wayne upcoming single, On Fire, off his ‘punk-rock’ project Rebirth, showed it’s little face as a radio-rip which I didn’t post as we all know how I feel about radio-rip, shieeet. Anyway, Splash did quick work as he released the CDQ...

Mp3: Eminem - Elevator x Buffalo Bill
Here’s two new tracks of Marshall Mathers that are going to be featured on his upcoming LP, the release of the following of Relapse, entitled Relapse: Refill. While I’m a big fan of Eminem, seems like his latest was a bit of a lackluster. To be honest, one of the best material he released so far this year was the definitely the diss he did against Mariah & Nick Cannon, man those...

Video/Mp3: Fanfarlo - Harold T. Wilkins
Alright, so while London based band Fanfarlo particular sound might be a throwback to 2006 when the Arcade Fire had probably reached it apogee (until the release to the next album that is), it’s a little bit weird to think of it as a breath of fresh air while the golden age of hip-hop seems to follow it’s course. While their limelight is somewhat recent, they definitely are in the...

Video/Mp3: Birdman - 4 My Town (Play Ball) ft....
Of all the versions of the song that was released on the internet, I guess the one for the video is entitled to be official. 4 My Town is off Birdman’s latest album, Priceless. While the feature of Lil Wayne & Drake definitely grabs my attention, I have to say that after Gucci Mane, Birdman is probably one of my least favorite hip-hop artist, the video is pretty tight though.

The ever popular hip-hop artist, Kid CuDi, is back, even though I’m pretty sure that he never actually left in the first place.

so yeah, new material from the Cleveland bred MC.
