Nas – “Daughters”
April 26, 2012
Nas continues to display why he’s one of the greatest emcees of all-time point blank period. Many artists are 1-dimensional armed only with talk of “doing it big in the club” & all that other material stuff that doesn’t matter, but how many can make an incredibly dope song about our “Daughters”. Although I don’t have any daughters as of yet, I immediately thought of my beautiful nieces listening to this gem produced by NO I.D. Just take a look at your favorite hip hop artist & I’m sure many of them don’t touch as many areas of life with such skill as Nas does. The song will “officially” be released for sale on May 1st & will appear on Nas’s upcoming album due July 17th called “Life Is Good” . This will be Nas’s first album in five years. I’m sure he has more real life experience to touch upon that we can all relate to. Check out the artwork for the single below….

Meek Mill – Bike Life Philly (Video)
April 26, 2012
I have to admit I do get a rush looking at fearless motorbike videos as cats rip through my hometown of Philly. In a way it takes me back there in a nostalgic sort of way just seeing the old neighborhoods & it just reminds me of the summertime when cats would rip down the blocks. Meek Mill does have a lot going for him with Rick Ross’s Maybach Music Group but he may need to ease up on riding on these bikes too often. The state of Pennsylvania doesn’t have a helmet law so you don’t have to wear one without getting cited or locked up, but young kids racing through Philly on bikes is becoming a problem because of the rise in fatal injuries. Ironically, from the above clip, Meek Mill almost became one of those statistics. Brothas are taking “L’s” everyday in Philly & Meek has great things going for him so he may need to just chill a little. Slow down Meek Milly….

B.O.B. – “No Where Near Close” (Video)
April 26, 2012
B.O.B.’s next album “Strange Clouds” officially drops next Tuesday May 1st & it seems this song “No Where Near Close” will appear on the album. I’m hoping it’s not just a short interlude because it really sounds very good. Although they used this song as sort of a promo for the “Strange Clouds” album in the above clip, the song has me itching to hear more of it. Without a doubt this ‘No Where Near Close’ joint sounds like a song something I’d definitely buy by the way it’s sounding from this preview….

Idle Warship (Talib Kweli x Res) – “Driving Me Insane” (Video)
April 26, 2012
“A collaboration between hip-hop luminary Talib Kweli and critically acclaimed Philly soul singer Res, Idle Warship is a genre-bending musical project born out of sheer experimentation and unbridled creative expression. ‘Habits of the Heart’ stormed the music scene last year, receiving glowing praise from the likes of People Magazine, RollingStone.com, NylonMag.com, Filter, Bust, MTV Hive, YRB and Vibe.com. The group also drew attention for their unconventional idea to be the first to premiere their full album on Spotify U.S. three whole weeks ahead of release date. The album offers a thrilling hybrid of influences including soul, hip-hop, rock, alternative and electronic, and features guest spots from Jean Grae, Jay Knocka, Chester French, Michelle Williams & John Forte.” – Idle Warship Team

R&B/Soul: Corey ‘Latif’ Williams – “Philadelphia Healing” EP
April 26, 2012
While searching around the web as I usually do I ran across this soulfully dope “Philadelphia Healing” EP from Philadelphia singer & songwriter Corey “Latif” Williams. Assuming he was a newcomer to the game initially, I was pleasantly surprised to find some great gems on this new project. Upon further research I discovered the Philly artist was mentored by the late great Teddy Pendergrass & was once signed to Motown records by Kedar Massenberg under the stage name “Latif”. Instantly I had one of those “Ohhhhhhh now I remember” moments as I began to put it all together in my head. Check out his website at Hurltheworld.com. Peep the tracklisting plus a few key tracks I’m digging from his 5 track EP where you can also download the complete free project below. It’s great to see another artist continuing to make me proud to be from Philadelphia. If you like good soul I’m positive you won’t be disappointed…

Rick Ross Tour Paris France (Video)
April 25, 2012
I was just in Paris France a few weeks ago but couldn’t get a good gauge on Rick Rozay’s fanbase & popularity while I was there from people. Probably due to my limited knowledge of french. The video above may provide some better insight as to his popularity abroad in places like Paris, London, Manchester, & a few other last stops on his “Rich Forever European Tour”.

Phonte – “The Life Of Kings” feat. Evidence & Big K.R.I.T. (Video)
April 25, 2012
Phonte drops a brand new video from one of my favorite songs from his “Charity Starts At Home” album that’s out now. If you paid attention to this website regularly you’d see we’ve been rocking that ‘Life Of Kings’ phrase in the masthead area of the site for a while now. The usual suspects of Kenneth Price in the director’s chair & 9th Wonder on the production of the track itself are involved, but when you add in Evidence Phonte’s Mama & Big K.R.I.T. you can’t go wrong. By far one of my favorite hip hop songs in recent years….Niiiiiiice.

Damian Marley – “Set Up Shop” (Video)
April 25, 2012
Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley drops a new video since the debut of his ‘Affairs Of The Heart’ chune a few weeks ago with “Set Up Shop”. This second single from his upcoming album has an entirely different vibe & pace than “Affairs Of The Heart” but the visual is still just as interesting.
