R&B: Sterling Simms – “Tell Her Again” feat. Meek Mill (Video)
August 14, 2012
Sterling Simms channels Barrington Levy (see “Murderer”) for this hot joint “Tell Her Again” (featuring Meek Mill). The song will likely appear on the forthcoming Sterling Simms debut album, “TGWKS (The Girl Who Kissed Sterling).” Much to love about this video: EYE CANDY (whew)… how they shot Simms walking through a graveyard like he’s gone literally kill the p*ssy… even the sick biking (peep the “one way” sign on the bottom of the ATV)! Don’t understand all the profanity in what would otherwise be a very good R&B record but it is what it is…
Slaughterhouse Learning From Eminem All The Time (Video)
August 14, 2012
“[All of us are] humble enough to know the appropriate time ‘to be a sponge’.” Who said that? Joe Budden! Yeah…really. He used the words ‘humble’ AND (later in the clip) ‘blessed.’ But seriously, check this video. The vets that comprise Slaughterhouse seem ready to learn from… and grind like… Eminem. Good clip.
Russian Interview (Producer/Artist)
August 14, 2012
This morning we talk to Russian the lead producer from Head Concussion Records and we find out how this ‘young-aged’ man has managed to stay in the league of successful professionals in Jamaica. He tells us about dealing with local artists trying to get signed to the label, the beginning of becoming an artist himself which included voicing a combination with Konshens. Russian credits the work ethic of himself and Vybz Kartel for their success thus far and salutes the other producers in the reggae industry who are also helping to keep ‘Reggae’ alive just as much as Dancehall.

Havoc – “Separated” (Real From The Fake) [Video)
August 14, 2012
Havoc releases the official video to one of the most controversial songs a number of Mobb Deep fans have been speaking on throughout the hip hop community called “Separated (Real From The Fake)” which is a not so subtle diss to his former partner in rhyme Prodigy. I’m sure Havoc has more to say regarding their beef when his upcoming EP entitled “13” is released in the near future.

The West Coast Inglewood homie Kida is back after ‘a hiatus’ (as he said in this cut) with his own flip on Rick Ross’s “3 Kings” record called “3 Rings.” Last we heard (and posted on here) from this brother was “The Re-Up.” Haven’t heard or read anything yet about the pending release of Kida’s LP “Long Story Short” or whether this track will be on it. But we can enjoy this track in the meantime.

South London’s Arlissa sings with an old soul, though she is not even out of her teens. She’s about to be major though. With a Nas co-sign? Come on. I need not say any more.

Tall Black Guy – “Desperte se Rápido” (Instrumental)
August 13, 2012
From his 11-track digital album, “Brazilian Chronicles” (out now), Tall Black Guy releases this instrumental gem, “Desperte se Rápido.” A nice uplifting message at the end, too. The commentary at the ends sounds like the voice of Bobby McFerrin but I could be wrong though. You can get “Brazilian Chronicles” – a montage of Brazilian-sampled music (including “Desperte se Rápido”) – by following the link provided here.

Kid Cudi – “Just What You Made” feat. King Chip
August 13, 2012
I pressed play on this joint from my laptop while sitting on the balcony of my friend’s high rise apartment peeping the Atlanta skyline. At that very moment & with the environment I was already in at the time this song was perfect. I had to replay it back several more times. Traditional Cudi fans shouldn’t be disappointed with this at all featuring the artist formerly known as Chip The Ripper aka King Chip. As a fan of Kid Cudi’s first two ‘Man On The Moon’ albums, my ears are ready for something new from the G.O.O.D. music artist. In a recent interview with Complex who debuted the track, Kid Cudi mentioned that he’s gonna try something a little different from his style on his next album entitled ‘Indicud’. I’m not mad at the old style as long as whatever he’s cooking up sounds good.

HBO’s Hardknocks: Miami Dolphins Episode One (Video)
August 12, 2012
With the recent arrest of Chad Ochocinco Johnson for allegedly headbutting his wife Evelyn Lozada following an argument over a receipt for a box of condoms, I couldn’t help but think of the first episode of HBO’s Hardknocks series covering the Miami Dolphins this season. Chad Ochocinco was picked up by the Miami Dolphins after having an off year with the New England Patriots last season. With his month long marriage to his wife & joining the Dolphins in his hometown of Miami, it felt like it would be a positive new start for Chad to get back to being the premier wide receiver he once was in the NFL. Chad has been in the league for years now, but he’s rarely ever had any off-the-field troubles that put him in negative light until now. Ironically he predicted he would be arrested in this episode of HBO’s Hardknocks around the 40:25 mark.
