New This Week

Shad- TSOL : The SECOND best Canadian rapper (behind Drake of course) brings his newest and arguably greatest. His previous album, The Old Prince, is one of my favorites and I continue to listen to it daily because of its crazy beats and Shad's unparalleled lyrical and rhyming ability. A must listen.

Drake- "Miss Me": I think this is the last single before the release of Thank Me Later and while this was just released on iTunes, this track has been out, in unfinished form feat. Bun B, for a while as part of Far From Over. It is a decent track but "Fireworks" and definitely "Shut It Down" are much better. Get ready for the album though, it is gonna be crazy. Free Stream at:

T.I.- "Yeah Ya Know": A solid track and his best since his release. T.I. brings his usual gritty BANKHEAD performance and presence to the mic. He has a crazy flow and super fast delivery and his rhyming skills are to be commended. Pretty good beat; however, he keeps comin out with the same style beats on all his tracks and hopefully for King Uncaged he'll mix it up a little. Free Stream at:

Rocko- "Maybe": I don't know why but I like it. The beat is good with a great bass backdrop, I mean Rocko with autotune is not great but the beat makes up for it. This was just released on iTunes, although it was also released on his mixtape Into the Wild. Free Stream at:

Bun B- "Just Like That": Great track. Bun B is a rap king and with the help of Young Jeezy (I will never call him just Jeezy in an intro, thats some bullshit) the lyrical ability on the track is off the charts. The Jeezy-style beat is crazy and Bun kills it. Trill OG should be rediculous. Free Stream at:

Blaqstarr- "Oh My Darling": Not really new but crazy nonetheless (like a new-style Diddy track). Just listen and watch the video and don't tell me it isn't dope. Just try. Free Stream at:
