FurSun "A Millie And Two": Trenton's own FurSun goes for broke over Lil' Wayne's "A Millie". This is off of his X-Men: The Last Stand mixtape, that's in the works right now. He's mixing freestyles with original jawns, including his hot remix of Jeezy's "Put On" which DEFINITELY has to be heard. Young, fresh cats coming out of NJ, better believe...
01. LL Cool J Feat. The Dream - Baby 02. Cassie - Me & U 03. Keyshia Cole Feat. Missy Elliot & Lil Kim - Let It Go 04. Bobby Valentino - Tell Me 05. Ne-Yo Feat. Tru Life - Sexy Love (Remix) 06. LL Cool J - Loungin 07. Fabolous - Baby Don't Go
The Americans "One Night Stand": Thursdays seem to be my days to flip something a bit different to the people. Here's a crew formed by former Hysterics member Charlie Klarsfeld called The Americans. The Americans' EP is dropping on iTunes in a few weeks, but you can hear it over on their MySpace page right now. It's produced by Charlie, who brought in the Dap Kings to give some life to his work. Nice Pop/Rock tunes with an RnB feel. Highly recommended, kind of reminds me of Stereolab but not as quirky, and with more traditional instruments.
Sugar Tongue Slim "Demand More Freestyle #5": This freestyle was originally made exclusive for rock the dub, but after it appeared in STS' ?uestlove Sneaker Release video, he has been getting crazy hits over it, and rolled it over to #5. This is over MF Doom's "Next Levels" instrumental, and is a perfect introduction into Sugar Tongue's world. Dude kicks that shit effortlessly over the beat.
Raphael Saadiq is set to bring back that Soul sound with his latest album, The Way I See It, which drops on September 16th, and is sample-free. Peep the tracklist:
1. Sure Hope You Mean It 2. 100 Yard Dash 3. Keep Marching 4. Big Easy 5. Just One Kiss 6. Love That Girl 7. Callin 8. Staying In Love 9. Oh Girl 10. Let's Take A Walk 11. Never Give You Up 12. Sometimes
Looks unassuming enough, but I guarantee you lovers in the crowd are going to dig this one.
L.E.G.A.C.Y. "14 Grams" (prod. by Khrysis): Fresh new music from my favorite MC out the Hall of Justus camp. L.E.G.A.C.Y. is preparing to unleash a shitload of new music, including his forthcoming Suicide Music album, which "14 Grams" is a possible 2nd single. Fire on the mic, tight beat... what more could you ask for!?
Leg also has a mixtape coming with DJ Flash, The NC Massacre Mixtape, among other projects. I'll keep you niggas posted.
Sugar Tongue Slim, Killer Mike, Chamillionaire, Asher Roth & KRS-One "A Millie (rock the dub Mega Mix 3)": After the 2nd "A Millie" Mega Mix I did, i wanted to hold off until I got some verses I could feel. Finally got 'em. Another 12-minute opus, flexing varying styles over Weezy's beat. Enjoy!

Slikk & CynergySoundz), as well as def jams from Rashid Hadee, Drastic, Has and the ill-ass "Honey Dutch" from Poe Mack. Download the shit out of this mixtape, and pass it to your friends.
Jesus Christ, do questions get answered or WHAT?!!? Yesterday, I speculated that Morgan Freeman might have been tricking out, getting some road head, and that could possibly have been the reason for his car crash on Sunday. I flip through some sites, and today he's confirmed that he's getting a divorce after 24 years of marriage:
Days after he was involved in a serious car accident, a friend of “Dark Knight” star Morgan Freeman confirmed to Access Hollywood that the actor is getting a divorce.
Freeman and his wife of 24-years, costumer Myrna Colley-Lee, “are involved in a divorce action,” the actor’s Mississippi-based attorney and business partner Bill Luckett told Access Hollywood. “And for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007.”
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Freeman was involved in an accident over the weekend, which saw the car he was driving flip. The actor and his female passenger, identified as Demaris Meyer, were driving on Mississippi Highway 32 in a rural area of Tallahatchie County at 11:30 PM on Sunday evening, when Freeman’s car went off the right side of the road and flipped over.
Freeman and Meyer, who has been described as the actor’s friend, were on the way to Freeman’s home when the accident occurred.
Just friends, eh? Check out Demaris Meyer, who we will just refer to as Miss Daisy. Oh, and that '97 Nissan Maxima? Yup, it was her whip. Damn, Morgan - I guess her head game was official!
AZ & Papoose "Knowledge Is Freedom": Not much info on this, from the email I just got. The MP3's "Album" tag says Certifyd, but I'm not up on if that's a forthcoming project from AZ or Pap. In any case, both brothas kick some knowledge; my man said "I'm the Spook by the door". Get involved.
Re-Up Gang "Emotionless (badmammal remix)": Shouts to my boy badmammal. He's making all kinds of music, and its good to hear him bring that leftfield vibe to some dirty Hip-Hop. Truth be told, everyone flocked to the Clipse based off of them going for broke over the quirky ditties that the Neptunes would give them, and oddly enough, that's what's missing from their latest. Maybe they need to hire badmammal for some heat?
Cymarshall Law & Mr. Joeker "Out Of The Rain (ft. Mary Lou)": This is the second single from Cy & Joeker's Hip Hop In The Flesh, which drops on Freedom Entertainment on November 4th; the album features also KRS-One, Skit Skam and Supastition, and is definitely a dope piece of Hip-Hop flavor.
Wafeek "Let The Beat Die Backwards": My homey Trackstar sent me this last night, and I figured I'd sort you guys out with this heatrock. Fans of The Lighthouse Project got introduced to Wafeek on Disc 2, and this time he takes a rearranged version of Lil' Wayne's "Let The Beat Build" and massacres it. Definitely check it out.
Wafeek's The White Trash Mixtape, with Trackstar, is coming.
Bryan Cox "Let's Go To Work (Mustard Pimp Remix)": Wow. Just wow. Lovin' these glitchy club bangers. Mustard Pimp is reppin' France, and bringing the hectic funk to this Bryan Cox cut. Just downright funkytown fun.
Young Jeezy "Crazy World": Here's a new banger from Jeezy. I'm guessing this is a track from The Recession; this is a radio rip, but you get that feeling that something bout to happen. Fire on this one!
Manic "Killers Theme 2008" [mirror]: My boy Burt Fox hit me with this post, detailing Manic's "Killers Theme 2008", which is an updated of Mobb Deep & Cormega's "Killaz Theme", jackin' up the BPM and the echo box, creating a wild riddim that hovers over the dancehall in a coked-out cloud. Epic sounds, bredren. DJs, get on this one.
Sugar Tongue Slim "Demand More Freestyle #4": This week, STS flips Nas' "Hero", speaking on what he sees in America, his idea of a hero, and various other points. Dude is slayin' you niggas with these Demand More freestyles!
"Morgan is doing well after his surgery last night to reconnect nerves and repair damage in his left arm and hand," his spokesperson, Donna Lee, said in a statement Tuesday.
"The surgery last night lasted four and a half hours. He's visiting with family this morning. As of this morning he's up and walking around and looking forward to his release in a few days."
Mac Edwards, a consultant for Freeman's Ground Zero Blues Club, spoke with the actor's business partner in that venture on Tuesday.
The partner, who is visiting with Freeman in the hosital, reported, "Morgan is up and walking around. He's really sore, but he's doing better. He's hoping to be out of the hospital by Thursday."
What's going on with the passenger? Yesterday, we couldn't get any info on the passenger - who she was, her condition, anything. Why? I understand, there's a veil of anonymity some might want to have, but this is 2008, we already know everything except the color of the gown Freeman is wearing, but not a word on the passenger!?
Was Morgan tricking late night, possibly getting some road head, making him crash the whip? Someone hiding something? I hate being like this, but with the amount of coverage this story is getting, I'm surprised we don't know more...
Bonus Beats: My mom and her man were telling me about this movie All About Us, about two brothers trying to find Morgan Freeman in his town to pitch some movie shit to him. Sounded good...
Joe Budden "Touch & Go": Check out the club-ready new single from Jump Off's Padded Room, which is set to drop on Amaglam on October 28th. I'm personally not big on this record, especially after the banger that is "Who" still getting regular spins on my MP3 player. I hope Padded Room has more of the "10 Minutes" Joey than this.
EDIT: Matt just hit me with the Padded Room tracklist:
1.) Now I Lay 2.) Touch N Go 3.) If I Gotta Go 4.) Blood On The Wall 5.) Don’t Make Me 6.) In My Sleep 7.) Outcast 8.) I Couldn’t Help It 9.) Do Tell 10.) My Life 11.) Better Me 12.) Just to Be Different 13.) Angel In My Life 14.) Pray For Me
Dutch NewYork "Addiction Freestyle": This Ryan Leslie beat is crazy; my homey Dutch NewYork decided to do it justice. This freestyle comes from Dutch's forthcoming The P.I. Mixtape, which is the precusor to his Perfect Imperfection album.
Shouts to Azage for hitting me with this monster of a mixtape, Follow My Lead, which is hosted by DJ Scratchez. Dude represents the ATL, and isn't stuck on that normal trap rap/shoot 'em up shit. You gotta respect the hood love gone bad tale of "Creepin'", or his fresh bars over classic beats like "Shadowboxin'" (on "Texas Pete"), or his flip of Madonna's "4 Minutes". Very interesting work here, you'd be a fool to sleep on this.
This joint features Jean Grae & Wrekonize, but will unfortunately will not be on DJ I-Dee's forthcoming album, Solitude (which drops on iTunes, Amazona nd select stores on August 26th):
Bonus Beats: DJ I-Dee ft. Jean Grae & Wrekonize "The Right"
The Paxtons ft. A-Ko "Bless You": The Paxtons represent DC by way of Southside Chicago, and have a nice vibe about them. The blast sent over like 5 tracks over, but I posted this one specifically for the flute x sleigh bells in that beat. Their Members Only mixtape (which is hosted by DC's DJ Premonition) will be dropping this month, so hold tight for it. If you guys like these and want more, I'll drop more of the links I was sent.
Yesterday, Knick (of Evol Intent, Ludachrist & Minus Music) posted on DOA that he had some "glitchy dubstep" tunes he wrote in a week, then lost all motivation on the project. After some serious begging, he's offered up 3 tunes to the masses, for free. So, check out these tunes from Knick's Bro Safari guise (here's a mirror).
Freeman, 71, was airlifted late on Sunday night to a Memphis, Tennessee, hospital, about 100 miles from the accident scene, which is near a home he keeps in Charleston, Mississippi.
"The vehicle went off the edge of the road and flipped several times," Mississippi Highway Patrol Sgt. Ben Williams said. No other car was involved in the accident.
From the direction Freeman was traveling, he appeared to be headed toward his home, Williams said.
Williams said it was "possible" that Freeman, who co-stars in the current blockbuster Batman movie the "Dark Knight," had fallen asleep at the wheel, but he added that authorities had ruled out alcohol as a factor in the wreck.
Freeman was conscious and talking to arriving officers afterward, Williams said, adding that no citation had been issued in the accident.

Heavy. Word is "Everything Is Heltah Skeltah" will be the first single, be on the lookout for that!
EDIT: Matt has just sent over the audio for "Everything Is Heltah Skeltah". Both flip some ill lines in this one...
Word on the newswire is that Morgan Freeman, one of the dopest actors ever, and one of the lone elderstatesmen in Black Hollywood, has been involved in a serious car accident:
Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman was involved in a serious car accident Sunday night in north Mississippi.
Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesperson Ben Williams said Freeman and a female passenger were traveling eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County when his vehicle went off the edge of the road. Freeman overcorrected, flipping his 1997 Nissan Maxima several times before coming to a rest.
Emergency crews extracted Freeman and his passenger from their vehicle using the jaws of life. According to Williams, they were both airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where Freeman was listed in serious condition Monday morning.
The condition of Freeman's passenger has not been released.
OK first off, I wonder how bad off the passenger is if their condition hasn't been released. Also, how bad is Freeman? And what was he doing driving a '97 Nissan Maxima? What's really good with that?
Lloyd ft. DJ Khaled, The Game, T.I., Yung Joc, Rick Ross, Ace Hood, Young Dro, Pitbull & Busta Rhymes "Girls Around The World (Remix)": Here's a 7 minute opus of a remix, featuring most of the names you see poppin' up on remixes of this caliber these days.
Forrest WMD hit me with this mixtape, which is a prelude to the mixtape and album projects coming from Mikkey Halsted (whom Andrew FSD has been keeping EVERYONE abreast to), and should be a treat for those looking for dope Chi-town Hip-Hop that is not made by Kanye or Common, although 'Ye does make a few appearances, as does Rhymefest No ID...
1. All I Need ft. Kanye West & Miss Criss 2. Boss 3. Cameras Ready (prod. by 1120) 4. Chi Shit 5. Dear Summer 6. Drifter 7. Fight with the Best ft. Kanye West & Rhymefest 8. Foolish Game 9. Ghetto Life (prod. kanye west) 10. Homicide 11. Hustlas Need Luv 2 12. Liquor Store 13. Love Song 14. Mikkey Is Back 15. My Life 16. Ready Roc 17. Rebel to America(snippet) (prod. by no i.d.) 18. Success 19. Super Star 20. Till I Die 21. U make me better 22. What Makes a Man
KONCEPT "Your Charm" (prod. by The Audible Doctor): Peep out this exclusive cut from KONCEPT's forthcoming mixtape, KONVERSES Chuck Taylor Edition, which will be available on iTunes, his MySpace page, and at Fatbeats NY on August 15th, featuring production from the likes of JLOG1C, Mr. Porter, The Audible Doctor, Slarc, & Taylor Made.
Rukus "I Wish" (prod. by Kid Konnect): Here's a track from Rukus' forthcoming Can't Forget album, which drops on August 12th (more info over at Rukus' CDBaby page). I got to hear it a week or two ago, and the album is dope: something you can jam to at your end of the summer BBQ, without fearing for your kid's ears. Let "I Wish" be the perfect example.
This cut is taken from Enigmatik's interview with Rukus (another exclusive freestyle from Ruk is over there as well). My review of Can't Forget is coming soon!
Ludacris ft. Chris Brown & Sean Garrett "What Them Girls Like" [clean \ dirty]: Luda drops the first official single from his forthcoming album (I'm assuming). Got enough knock to keep the ladies on the floor wylin', as well as making sure their guys aren't totally bored.
Enigmatik just posted this interview with Houston MC Yves Saint over at The Boom. I know homey is making some moves, and we here at rock the dub fully support it.
Theo "Hola Oh Theo": Here's an exclusive Theo cut from his The Birth mixtape, which drops next week (08/08/08), brought to you by That Real Ish (check that interview!). Theo is on the verge, and I'm privileged to have been able to throw some of his tracks online.
Young Jeezy ft. Bonecrusher vs. Tes La Rok "Take It To The Floor (DJ Nappy Extended THUGSTEP Refix)": Simple, yet effective. Fresh THUGSTEP that fans of the initial .rar's already heard. Jeezy and Bonecrusher rep the dirty, tough talkin' over an moody dubstep romp from the one like Tes La Rok. Oddly enough, I dropped another track featuring Jeezy last month, but with The Recession on the horizon, I can't help it. PUNK NIGGA C'MON!!!
