Phonte - The Life of Kings Ft. Big K.R.I.T. & Evidence

Charity Starts at Home drops Sept 27th.

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.

                      Last summer Homeboy dropped (in my eyes) the best hip-hop album the whole year
                      titled The Good Sun. Recently he was signed to Stones Throw which is a beautiful pick
                      up for the record label and for Homeboy as an artist. I'm excited as shit, this dude is the
                      truth.
