WhyGee "ChumpSin Pink": Here's the title track from a forthcoming DVD that WhyGee has coming. WhyGee is one of the Colorado cats that Kid Hum has put me onto (Sunken State is another one), and he will be featured on the Offshore Drilling compilation. The homey RM threw this up on FH, and included the "ChumpSin Pink" video:
Lil' Mama "Diva": Damn. So I got the blast for this track, and figured that Lil' Mama was going onto some instrumental murder, ala her "A Milli" freestyle, and was set to massacre Beyonce's "Diva". Nope, she's on some Electro-Pop smooth shit here. I think fans of this style or fans of her will be into this. Reminds me of something Rihanna would fuck with. What do you think?

R.O.E. "When The Money Comes": The homey R.O.E. had some ish to get off his chest, and chose Jay-Z's "When The Money Goes" instrumental to be the sonic bed. Dude has such a smooth flow, but he definitely touches on some more personal situations on this quick rhyme. Who's next?

Leftfield leaks for the win.
That chick is at it again. I might have to cop this one, given how the pics inside look.

Raekwon ft. Ghostface Killah & Crooked I "Yes Sir": Here's another leftfield leak for this week, with an unbelievable line-up. Rather than try and paraphrase, I'll just hit you with the info from the press release...
50 Cent "Try Me": Here's the full five-minute diss that 50 has aimed at Rick Ross and DJ Khaled. I guess when Lil' Wayne is doing Limp Bizkit-lite, and Kanye is lost in his Auto-Tune, we need some fabricated Rap beef to keep the train moving.
Wordsmith "The Rave" (prod. by Professa): This new cut that Wordsmith passed me has a different energy to it. The way the sounds interact make this one feel very intense, and Words goes in on the flow with this one. Different styles, something you can get the party rockin' with. Not too many MCs get that hustle on like Words and Nu Revolution do, and 2009 will be no exception, with a mixtape AND album coming from Words and Chubb Rock. Keep it locked...

Via Truth & Logic.
This week is definitely called "leftfield leaks"; where the HELL is this shit coming from? Bobby V and DJ Holiday linked up to promote Bobby's new album, The Rebirth (which drops on Feb. 10th), with this new mixtape.1. Shake It Up

Rihanna ft. The-Dream "Hatin' On The Club": No, Rih-Rih didn't get a skin bleachin'/haircut. That's apparently her "BFF/video vixen" friend Amber Rose, who was recently featured in Smooth. Wow. OH shit, this is a new Rihanna song. It's not really that good, TBH - it sounds like she tried to throw some old school doo-wop heartbreak into a mid-tempo club rocker, but it really just rocked me to sleep.
The-Dream ft. Rick Ross, Juelz Santana, Fabolous & Ludacris "Rockin' That Thing (Remix)": There's been a bunch of remixes out there, but because Best of Both Offices hit me with this, I'm going to say that this is the official. How Juelz can say some shit like "treat her like the First Lady, I put my Barack in her" and not feel like a complete douche is beyond me...
DJ Suss.One ft. Red Cafe, Uncle Murda & Maino "Who Shot Ya 2009": I don't know why ANYONE has to touch THIS CLASSIC BIG TRACK, but I guess Brooklyn's in the house. I'm sorry, but Uncle Murda's adlibs > Red Cafe's adlibs. Maino is a beast on this one, though.
Q-Tip ft. Busta Rhymes, Raekwon & Lil' Wayne "Renaissance Rap (Remix)": Damn, what a good week it's been for leakage. This is one of those line-ups that I didn't expect at all, and I am not mad at what any of these MCs did on the track. In fact, I'm quite happy with how this came out. Now that melody is gonna be stuck in my head all weekend.
Termanology "Tight Pants Are For Girls": While I wholeheartedly agree with his statement, I'd be lying if I said the primary reason for posting this had nothing to do with posting the above pic.
Young Jeezy ft. Jay-Z "My President Is Black (Remix)" (prod. by Tha Bizness): I love that Jeezy says he'd rather watch Jimmy Kimmel rather than The O'Reilly Factor, as if that comparison makes sense. As you may have guessed it, this is the official remix, featuring the new anti-O'Reilly lyrics. That hook is great, but without the pro-Obama shit, this is essentially another dope boy anthem. LET'S GO!
I told you guys last November that Prinz and Gallic Wars were linking up to help Prinz reach that next level; in short order, the next chapter in the Poverty Breeds Crime series is here, which is hosted by Prinz, and featuring a bunch of bangin' cuts that you need to make part of your life right now.1.

Jay-Z "When The Money Goes (Instrumental)": Still no word on what "When The Money Goes" was set to drop on, but fuck that. It's my jam of the week. And I just got passed the instrumental, so MCs, get on this one QUICK!
B-Real ft. Xzibit & Young De "Don't Ya Dare Laugh (Remix)": Keepin' it Cali for a minute, here's the remix to B-Real's scorcher, "Don't Ya Dare Laugh". Creasing khakis and Chuck Taylors were my shit, until I realized if I wore a certain color, I'd get popped. Now I am super nondescript in earth tones. You know how that goes.
Versis "Spittin' In The Wind (fLako Remix)": This cat is 17? And from Inglewood? I need to get out more. RM London, who recently joined the Flawless Hustle camp, threw this up, along with another joint today. If you partake in the herbals, put something in the air, throw this joint on, and meet the future of ill Hip-Hop.
DJ Jay iLLaNoise ft. Fab 5 '09 "Go IL USA (Circa '96)": I dropped the video for this last week, and Pugz hit me with the MP3 today. iLLaNoise's Revenge Of The Backpacks drops Feb. 2009, so keep it locked for that one!
Ernie Gaines "NO": Going through the inbox, and I had to throw this gem up. Ernie Gates apparently had a track with T.I. entitled "Sip It", which I've never heard, but based on the future retro funk in this joint, I might have to keep my ear out for homeboy. Dude kind of reminds me of Ryan Leslie, but a bit more soul. And he represents NJ. Win-win.
Raekwon ft. Ghostface Killah "Criminology 2" [clean \ dirty]: Talk about straight out of leftfield. I wasn't expecting this one at all. And while it doesn't match the original's fury, this is nothing to sneeze at. They essentially flipped the original sample into some 2009 flavorful shit, which I'm not mad at. The original, though, is a personal favorite, so forgive me if I'm not shitting my pants in excitement.
Cy Yung ft. Rashid Hadee & Asylum 7 "Mayhem" (prod. by J. Slikk): Here's a full preview of one of the forthcoming Tribute To Rosie Perez tracks that Slikk has been hyping me about, but finally let me drop to the world. This and "Dreamcatcher Revisited" should have you open to this project that Cy & Slikk are nuturing. The final LP will feature Rashid Hadee, The Primeridian, R.O.E., Indy Sparks, Tall Black Guy, DJ SeanDoe, J. Slikk, Pugs Atomz, Maria and more; be on the lookout for "Be Natural", which I'm told should be dropping come Spring 2009.
Dylan Dillinjah "Keep It Mobbin'" (prod. by EZLP): Did you know Dylan Dillinjah, who rose to fame from the first season of Diddy's Making The Band, was still around? Me neither. Gallic Wars and EMG have linked up to put out a deluxe edition of Dylan's Reborn project, which will be hosted by Gunz N Rosez and N.O.E., with musical arrangement by Mazi-O. This is set to drop for free.99 on Feb. 26th, so keep it locked!
It's finally here! Jo Well & DviousMindZ have been on a tear promoting this, and you can have it. But before you download it, check out their thoughts on this project:Jowell: The Nickel and Diming EP..me, dviousmindz, and markfader all put in work for the project and I hope all of you enjoy it. I wanna thank 2dopeboyz and ALL of the blogs and sites for all the support they've shown me and the antidotes crew as a whole. Thank you to Phenomenon for the cover art too.

I am also working on a couple projects as well..one of them is a just crusin' remix which will be real nice..how about another Jo Well & DJ DviousMindz tape?....thanks again...let me know if you are feelin the music...
Dj DviousMindZ: I just want to say thanks to all that have listened to the singles and showed interest in the project. Shout out to all the bloggers posting out music. Jo well and I are defiantly going to drop another E.P this year, I'm also dropping another E.P next month with my artist MNfrm so I hope all of you show the same support to him as well!

Lil' Jon ft. Ice Cube & The Game "Killas": Pause on this track starting with the line "three hard muthafuckas". This is definitely that Rap/Rock hybrid we've been bored to death with when speculating on the release of Crunk Ain't Dead. Sounds like Limp Bizkit with better rapping, as if that wasn't easy to achieve. Check out the Bonus Beats I included for a much better track Lil' Jon is involved in...
Wale "Good Girls (AEON Remix)": Recently, the homey AEON, Tanya Morgan and DJ Lowkey were all up on Subsoniq's Sirius XM show. You can listen to the show here: part 1 \ part 2. During the show, they premiered this futuristic funkorama of a remix from AEON. Expect more from the god in 2009...
Ryan Leslie "Out Of The Blue": Gotta say, I'm diggin' Ryan Leslie's tracks. "Addiction" was my guilty pleasure of 2008, but the album is deeper than this. What would YOU do if your significant other left you out of the blue? Think about that while being sucked into the cool boom-bap of this one. Ryan Leslie hits stores Feb. 10th.
I dropped one of the tracks from this EP last week; you can grab this monster now. Want more info on it? Check the press release:The Jake Music Group announced today that the "New:Magic:E.P. - The Aggressive Soul Remixes" from new artist Crew54 and The Jake will be released online on January 27, 2009. Available exclusively at TheJakeBeats.Blogspot.Com, the album will be a re-visioning of the Crew54's classic 2007 album "Aggressive Soul", released by Millennium VII Entertainment.

Jay-Z "Money Goes": Wow. Sounds like DJ Envy went in, dropping a new track from Hov. Wow. I am in love with this beat. Who did that beat?! Got some airy, heavenly feel to it. New Hov, even if it's recorded from the radio, makes my day.
Bliss FM ft. Articulate "Always Here": Oddly enough, I was listening to Artic's "B-Town" on the way to work this morning. This is taken from Bliss FM's free album, The Food, which you can grab right here.
I miss 45s. I don't have a turntable at my spot, or at all, but I have a stack of vinyl at my mom's crib that I miss. DJ Concept knows the score, and threw together this mix, the first of what I hope is many... "THIS MIX IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. I repeat…THIS MIX IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. If you are offended by the sound of dusty vinyl, stop right now. The sound quality is what you might expect from very old, neglected 45’s. Certified raw shit right here. Complete with scratches, pops, clicks and even some skips.
If you're looking for something to do to celebrate Bob Marley Day, or just need to hear that Dub and Dance Hall pressure from the likes of the might Mad Professor, 77 Klash, Macka B and others, head on over to this live event on Feb. 6th. Shouts to Alex @ Move Forward.
Spike Lee has the rights to a James Brown biopic, and Wesley Snipes has been cast as Brown. Now, I don't doubt Wesley's ability, I've seen Blade and White Men Can't Jump, but dog, its fucking vampires and basketball! Can Snipes truly put on for James' legacy?
Lil' Wayne "Hot Revolver": I saw that a tagged version of this leaked back in November of 2008; Weezy is really on this bullshit, eh? While I can't find an official tracklist for Rebirth, I'd imagine this aural abomination will be on that project. If you're digging these tracks, you might want to have your ears (head?) examined.
8thW1 "Sound Quality Convo" (prod. by Mentplus): Wow. I remember seeing 8th post an update on Twitter, wondering why critics feel the need to complain over the sound quality of free music... which always confused me as well. It's free, say thanks and keep it moving. I can't tell you how many hissy tapes I've collected, and cherished, because they contained some serious jams.
Wes Restless & Silence "Only Live Once" (prod. by Wes Restless): Just off title alone, this will be my theme song in 2009 and beyond. Older I get, the smarter I get in terms of doing shit differently, or doing shit I never did before. Words to live by.
The DVD release of The Secret Life Of Bees hits stores on Feb. 3rd; I have 3 copies of this DVD to give away. Just send me an e-mail with the subject SECRET LIFE OF BEES DVD GIVEAWAY to khaldub@gmail.com by Feb. 1st. I'll pick the three winners and alert them via e-mail.
Lil' Wayne "Prom Queen": So is The Rebirth going to be Weezy's 808's & Heartbreak, with guitars instead of 808 beats? This is pure bullshit, even for a Rock song. Why is it that Rap cats seem to listen to the WORST Rock there is out there?
Chase & Status "Against All Odds (Dubstep Remix)": I dropped the video for the original on Friday, and look what drops not too long after it. This is the B-side; Xample's DnB remix is featured on the A-side. Nice 12" for DJs looking for that upfront DnB & Dubstep pressure.
