J Cole - Nobody's Perfect [Ft. Missy Elliot]
To tell you the truth, I wasn't too much of a fan of Mr Nice Watch with Jay, maybe I'm
just old fashioned or not too interested in ego music - But this shit, this is better, gives
some positive hope to Sideline Story, the added touch of Missy definitely solidifies the track.
Absorb & Enjoy.

hip-hop music.

Common Sense - In My Own World
Common Sense, before he was sued by a reggae group under the same name and was
forced to change to the stage name Common arrived in 1992 (Unamerican Caravan, google
it). The early 90's was the gold rush of hip-hop music, you would find gold by accident, in
other words music was beautiful. His debut album Can I Borrow A Dollar displayed his
talents yet stuck to his young joyful nature. Arguably his second album titled Resurrection
was his best (in my opinion, his best no doubt). Lyrically he was on another level compared
to other emcees, his witty rhyme schemes separated him not only in hip-hop but in music.
In My Own World is just an example of the albums smooth jazzy feel and a product of my
Ipod shuffle, I will forever bang out to this track.

MF Doom + Masta Ace Album? "MA DOOM: Son of Yvonne"
A few months ago word came out that MF Doom and Radiohead were in the lab together,
a remix or two released but nothing much...now this. Supposedly this album is done though
and ready be released. Masta Ace is the fucking man, and to wonder how he would throw
down with Doom on a beat is interesting nonetheless, for now this will go on the long list
of "what if" & "collaborations that were said to happen but never did" albums.

Homeboy Sandman - The Ancient

up for the record label and for Homeboy as an artist. I'm excited as shit, this dude is the
truth.

Consequence - Everybody Told Me [Prod. by Kanye West]
Looking back to some of the biggest tracks in hip-hop, you can't deny Kanye's name is
attached to the production to the majority of them. Going back to when Kanye was banging
out beats for local Chicago emcee's he has come a long way and excelled in many different
levels. That aside, Conequence prepping for his new mixtape, so far so good.

Kendrick Lamar - HiiiiPower [Prod by J.Cole]
Kendricks first single off his upcoming album Section80. Cole and Lamar synchronized
a solid track .**Side note, Cole's production has as much impact and timidness as his
lyrical game, he is very gifted & can only get better. Absorb.

Homeboy Sandman - I Knew
Homeboy Sandman. Ever heard of em? If you haven't by now, your lacking..thats ok.
Homeboy is hands down one of the top ranking underground emcee's that is slowly
making his rise to mainstream exposure, his album The Good Sun was arguably (and I
will argue it, track for track) one of the best hip-hop albums released in 2010. Recently
he created a twitter account for the sole reason to send "I knew" to ?uestlove, why ?uest,
well he wants to be on Jimmy Fallon, and he has a whole internet support group to help
push this. Absorb!

Scott Ramirez: Just an Acapella
Scott showing you that when words roll of your tongue this smooth you don't need a beat.
Chris Brown Feat. Benny Benassi - Beautiful People
Its amazing to see an artist like Chris Brown and one of the best DJ's of all time Benny
Benassi on the same track. House, trance & techno is growing each day and it to see if
diffusing with hip-hop is insane. It shows how music is such a wild evolution.

Thom York Recording with MF Doom
I have always been a hip-hop enthusiast, it will always be my root and core, but I also
spend a lot of time towards other forms of music. With that being said, Radiohead
has been one of my favorite groups in the ranks of Wu-Tang and The Roots, so to see
Hopefully they have something serious in store, wonder how Thom would look
like with a Doom mask on.
Pusha-T - Cook It Down
Dela - What U Wanna (feat. Blu)
Blu & Dela are dominating names in undergound hip-hip music today, both
developing an impact on music. Blu throws down a solid flow with Dela's soulful
production. Look out for Dela's new album soon. Absorb
