Sam Sneed – Lady Heroin (Video)
January 14, 2011
Now that Death Row Records are under new owners they are wasting no time in opening the vaults of unreleased material from the label’s heyday. The first single to drop is ‘Lady Heroin’ from Sam Sneed’s ‘Street Scholars’ album due January 25th. Sam Sneed was a great producer from Pittsburgh who was heavily involved with Death Row back in the day. Wonder what he’s doing now or if he’s contributing anything new to the album dropping on the 25th. Either way…U betta recognize fooooool!

Eminem feat. Jazmine Sullivan – Cocaine
January 14, 2011
I’m assuming this song didn’t make the cut on Eminem’s Grammy nominated album ‘Recovery’. It sounds pretty good to me besides needing a proper mix down but hopefully they’ll put something together on a future project. I cleaned the song up myself so I can use it on the radio & included a copy for all you other DJs & Radio people that may need a clean version.

Eminem is Winning!!! Wack rap artists step to the f*ckn side!! SlaughterHouse?! Yelawolf?! That’s big! Damn it’s not even fair! SHEEHZ!!!!
From MTV News:
Eminem is back in more ways than one. The Detroit lyricist is reviving his Shady Records company, and Wednesday (January 12) he announced the signing of two new acts: underground supergroup Slaughterhouse and upstart rapper Yelawolf. Cashis and D-12 remain on the roster, but Em made no secret of wanting to bring new life to his company.
“Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse, it’s kinda phase two of Shady,” Eminem explained in a statement. “It’s the new generation of Shady Records, and as we’re trying to rebuild our label, it’s exciting for hip-hop, and with all of these forces coming together and with what everybody’s capable of on the mic, it’s gonna be fun.”
