Whygee & Sunkenstate Sambodextrust

Here's the 2nd edition of Whygee & Sunkenstate's Suicide Watch trilogy; I've been privy to hear this come together, and the whole batch of tracks they worked on are fire. I hipped you to "Black Superheroes" a minute ago, but you need to get involved to tracks like "Tears Of The Son", or "Whoodyalso", which is just one of my favorite sax-laced beats in a bit. If you dug Suicide Watch, peep their evolution.

Excess Bangers 36 - Is, Was, & Coulda Been

Here's something special. Shouts to Highbrid Nation for allowing me to collaborate with them on this one. The idea sprung from that old Michael Jackson in 2000 picture from Ebony back in the mid 80s; they took my idea and birthed a dope mixtape. I appreciate them for reaching out to me; I dig their series, and I'm glad to be a part of it!

Reso vs. Jeremih "Onsen Sex (TRENCH Mashup)"

Reso vs. Jeremih "Onsen Sex (TRENCH Mashup)": Do you remember The Takeover mix from DZK? Homey has been on a roll with his mashup game (under the guise TRENCH), and has a stack of fire that was expertly presented to you in that mix. While those were DnB mixes, here's a mashup of Reso's "Onsen" with Jeremih's "Birthday Sex", which has been catching crazy fire over the first half of 2009. This is the perfect grindtime late-night mood music, with a nice tempo accenting dude's post-R. Kelly come-ons. There are more where these came from, so hold tight!

BP3 EP

Via BGDB:

Another day, another track from Jay. I decided to compile a mix of tracks that have floated around since Jay-Z announced his impending Blueprint 3 album. I fully realize that the majority of these tunes won't make the final cut. Either way, check this mix and follow the progression of songs released and see if you're still amped for the album droppin' on 9/11/09.

DOWNLOAD

Tracklist:

Dead Presidents 3
When The Money Goes
Ain't I
Jockin' Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh)
Swagger Like Us f/Kanye West, Lil' Wayne & T.I.
Brooklyn (We Go Hard) f/Santigold
History
D.O.A. (Death Of Autotune)
Run This Town f/Rihanna & Kanye West
You're Welcome f/Mary J. Blige

What say you? Personally, unless Hov comes back to the essence and really delivers, I have a feeling that my (digital) copy of Reasonable Doubt will get more burn than Blueprint 3. I did a mix on the first episode of RTD Radio with my favorite Hov tracks in them, and maybe I'm jaded, or just reading too much into a lot of things, but I'm not sure he can fuck with himself. Like he became the rap Michael Jordan, for good and ill.

Enjoy this, and help me find some new blood.

Jay-Z ft. Rihanna & Kanye West "Run This Town"

Jay-Z ft. Rihanna & Kanye West "Run This Town" [clean \ dirty]: I just live-blogged my shoddy listening to Hov's new track (which premiered on Hot 97), and Dom Corleone hits me with this tweet.

On my second listen, Kanye's verse > Jay's 2nd verse > Jay's first verse > Rihanna's hook.

Christ, YN FTW.

EDIT Young Guru hit YN with the mastered, dirty CDQ [M4A \ MP3].

Jay-Z "Run This Town" Live-Blog

So, apparently, HOT 97 is going to be blasting off the new Jay-Z record, "Run This Town" (which features Rihanna & Kanye West); here's my recounting of it, while it goes down...

(NOTE: I'm listening via this ill Nobex software on my BlackBerry, so times might be off a smidge)

9:33AM - Saw YN's tweet that the record was supposed to drop around 9:11AM (get it?), but word from Ciph and Rosenberg is that the record isn't even in their possession - they're waiting for it to upload? Sheesh...

9:35AM - "Successful" is the only track from So Far Gone that I actually appreciate.

9:39AM - Looks like "Run This Town" is over on Jay's MySpace page, but is currently unavailable.

9:41AM - YN called the rain delay for "Run This Town" - drats!

9:44AM - Ciph is getting into his Flex zone... "OK!"

9:45AM - Finally hearing it; Rihanna got the hook in the intro. Jay proclaiming Roc Nation...

9:46AM - If you gonna rock the "KINDA TOUGH, HOV!" shit, shoulda just had Flex come into the station.

9:47AM - So far, I'm diggin' Hov's flows on the track... the beat is on that marchin' shit, ala "Brooklyn (Go Hard)" and shit. 'Ye rappin' on the 3rd verse.

9:48AM - Kanye did his thing on that!

9:49AM - End verdict: I'm not mad at the track. Having just heard it for the first time, I'm admittedly not blown away (after "D.O.A.", I wasn't expecting to be), but maybe it's just my being tired of Rih's wailing shit (that record she had with T.I. worked my nerves), but I think its a cool one. Jay sounds hungry, I love the way he's flowing on this, and hearing Kanye pick up his pen on the third verse really sounded ill. I need to hear this on better speakers (no diss to you, cranBerry, but I couldn't blast you in my cubicle). So, what say you YN? NMC? Who will have the rip(s) first?
