Lupe Fiasco – “Around My Way” (Freedom Ain’t Free) [Video]
June 27, 2012
After all the controversy & supposed beef with Pete Rock over this “Around My Way” record that borrows from the classic Pete Rock & CL Smooth joint “T.R.O.Y.”, Lupe Fiasco finally reveals the brand new video for the single that will appear on his upcoming “Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album” project due September 25th. Lyrically Lupe doesn’t disappoint me in consistently delivering a message in his music just like the recently released “Bitch Bad” single people have been talking about over the last few days as well…..

R&B: Rochelle Jordan – “Losing”
June 27, 2012
Toronto native Rochelle Jordan is back with another quality R&B joint that follows the familiar atmospheric vibe her producer KLSH is becoming known for crafting around her. Occasionally I still go back to play tracks from her R O J O project that she released last year. Apparently this new joint “Losing” will appear on her upcoming EP entitled P R E S S U R E due later this summer. Definitely diggin’ the artwork with the T-Dot skyline in the background for the single too. Listen or download the song below & check out the video trailer for the EP under the hood…..

Comedy: Chris Bosh Gets ‘Soul Glo’ & ‘Shake Weight’ Endorsement (Video)
June 26, 2012
Everyone’s still talking about Chris Bosh’s rather suspect champagne shower following the Miami Heat’s NBA Championship win last Thursday. It’s a wonder Chris Bosh didn’t pick up any special endorsements for ‘Shake Weights’ or ‘Soul Glo’ for all the energy he put into pouring that champagne all over himself. Hahahaaa!!

What?! Did Bumpy Knuckles speak on AND reconcile things regarding Gang Starr and Guru (R.I.P.)… AND serve warning to Solar in this rhyme?? You watch “B.A.P.” and tell me. Either way, this is some of that raw Bumpy flow over classic DJ Premier boom bap. Hence, the name of the track (Bumpy And Primo, B.A.P.). Clever. Incredible! Off their collaboration album the KoleXXXion that’s out now!

Wayne Wonder – ‘Caught Up’ (Video)
June 25, 2012
Now when this track ‘Caught Up’ appeared on CY Evolution 4, the title also said ‘3-Way’ and there was some questions from the female fans however this official video clears it all up. Wayne Wonder has always been a talented artist and this shows his vocal range, harmonies and songwriting ability, and yes he’s still doing his lil two-step dance LOL. Shouts to Cooyah sponsors and Jamaican actor Paul Campbell from Shottas who peaked in at the end.

SupaFuh x Nai – “Mauvais Esprit”
June 25, 2012
You know Quiet Dawn, right? The super-smooth French producer from Paris. If not, don’t worry. We got you. Click here to hear an earlier Quiet Dawn post. Well, in short, as far as jazzy grooves go, Quiet Dawn has been making noise. It follows that – in taking jazz into Hip-Hop – he would only mess with the best. For this foray, he brings producer SupaFuh and lyricist Nai aboard. Warning: French-spittin’ writtens ahead. Might have to take a tip from Jay Force and get a passport. Head to Europe. See what Hip-Hop worldwide is all about! But for now…take a listen to “Mauvais Esprit” (English translation: “Evil Spirit”) here! You’re welcome.
