[video] AP The Mayor ft. Clark "Smoke With The Mayor"
Money First "Everything Extraordinary"
Money First "Everything Extraordinary": Oddly enough, when I saw that Jeezy had a new single, I figured it'd sound more like this Money First track than what it actually was. Kind of glad I got this - whenever I feel like plotting on the next move, I'd much rather blast some shit like that. Call it what you will, but that bass? That determination? Straight Trenton, NJ hunger right here. This is taken from Money First's Digital Money album, which is dropping via Money First Music/Block Starz Music on the 15th of August. It's hot as FUCK out there, you might as well pull up on the block in something fresh, with this rattlin' out of your speakerbox. Enjoy that.Tone ft. Kurt Allen & DJ Theory "Dreams"
Tone ft. Kurt Allen & DJ Theory "Dreams" (prod. by Team Genius): ½ of Moke & Tone came correct with this one. This is some shit to daydream to, seriously. Has that mellow vibe to it, something you can get comfortable to. And that voice that drops in the beat? Feels like someone singing a lullaby. Just some upbeat shit, with Tone adding some of his own dreams into this one, and what he’s learned both from his dreams and because of his dreams. Gotta respect when a track let’s the DJ get his, mid-song. Use your dreams to move you… but don’t sleep your life away. Real progress happens in application.
Nemo Achida "John Stockton"
Nemo Achida "John Stockton" (prod. by Sean "Golden Child" Mangan): You have to hand it to Peter Rosenberg – dude knows dope Hip-Hop when he hears it. I rarely listen to the radio anymore, but word is that this cut has been getting spins on Rosenberg’s “Real Late” program, and for good reason. Taken from Achida’s Goodbye Brooklyn EP, Nemo compares how cats have to live these days (the give and go) to one of the NBA’s all-time great players. Even if he rocked short shorts. I’m not that up on Nemo’s output, but dude’s flow is intriguing – I definitely want to hear more of what dude has to say.
junclassic "Break It Down"
junclassic "Break It Down" (prod. by 730): jun just doesn’t quit, does he?! He sent over this tough jawn that he did with 730, with word that they are actually working on a full-length project together, so let this track from the WeGoinIN/HipHopGame mixtape be a sample of what to expect from their collaborative efforts. What’s odd is, the vibe of this track (probably the piano) makes it feel moodier, but jun sounds like he’s having a fucking ball.
One Eyed Kings ft. Molina, AKIR, & Big Samir "Children of the Ghetto"
One Eyed Kings ft. Molina, AKIR & Big Samir "Children of the Ghetto" (prod. by Mr. Bostic): On this ode to Philip Bailey’s classic track of the same name (and Spike Lee’s Clockers), this assortment of dope Hip-Hop sounds so smooth over those cool keys. “The life” in the inner-city is as oppressive as the heat that’s leaning on us, but tracks like this, that praise facing your adversity, sound like jumping into a large pool of fresh water. This track won’t change the world – who knows what will do that – but the kids are who we should be doing this for, and we need more themes/anthems to remind us of who it’s really all about.
