Great Scott – God’s Graffiti (Prod by Mr. Enok)
January 11, 2011
DOWNLOAD: GREAT SCOTT – GOD’S GRAFFITI (PROD BY MR. ENOK)
Atlanta’s hip hop scene is filled with a number of characters, players, & figures with a variety of style. Great Scott is one of those persons whose background & upbringing contributes much to his sound & lyricism. Being of Jamaican heritage & having grown up in London, New York, & even Savannah Georgia before immersing himself in Atlanta’s thriving hip hop scene, Great Scott’s ultra unique style is not fake by any means. This track God’s Graffiti produced by Mr. Enok (producer & DJ for Boog Brown) is a perfect example of great production coupled with diverse dialect & lyricism gone right. Although it’s not listed but there appears to be another emcee on the track who I believe is none other than Ekundayo. is named Severe. Spotted this track over at my homie from the Bronx Lex Boogie’s siteThe Gritty Committee.
Kanye West & Jay-Z – H.A.M. (prod by Lex Luger)
January 11, 2011
DOWLOAD: KANYE WEST & JAY-Z – H.A.M. (PROD BY LEX LUGER) | Â CLEAN VERSION
I’m not too impressed with this joint. Â Sounds like a leftover track from when Kanye was working on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that didn’t make the cut. At least they tried to experiment with the young producer Lex Lugar’s sound. Atlanta via Virginia native Lex Lugar has been largely responsible for Waka Flocka’s hit soundscapes as of late.
Melo to the Nets?
January 11, 2011
Rumors of a Carmelo trade are starting to heat up with the New Jersey Nets and not the New York Knicks as the front runners to land the star forward. Carmelo has made known that he will not sign the contract extension offered by the Nuggets and plans to test the free agent market in the summer. Rumors have placed the Knicks as Melo’s first choice of teams he’d like to play for but the Knicks don’t seem to have trade pieces that the Nuggets are looking for, mainly young talent and draftpicks.

Authorities Claim They Are Closer To Solving The Murders Of Biggie & Tupac
January 7, 2011
According To CNN:
Los Angeles (CNN) — A task force made up of local and federal law enforcement agencies is actively pursuing leads into the 1997 slaying of hip hop artist Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls or Notorious B.I.G., according to two sources familiar with the investigation.
According to one law enforcement source, the investigation into the 13-year-old unsolved case was “reinvigorated” months ago as a result of new information, but the source would not elaborate further because of the ongoing investigation that includes the Los Angeles Police Department, L.A. County District Attorney’s Office and the FBI.
Retired Los Angeles Police Detective Russell Poole, who worked on the Wallace case, told CNN that he believes Knight was behind the murder, even though the Death Row Records’ boss was serving time on a probation violation at the time.
“Suge Knight ordered the hit,” Poole said, adding that he believes it was arranged by Reggie Wright Jr., who headed security for Death Row Records.
“I think I was getting too close to the truth,” Poole said. “I think they feared that the truth would be a scandal.”

Playboy Tre – Ready Go (Video)
January 2, 2011
I really like this video from Atlanta’s Playboy Tre. Many people outside of Atlanta may only be familiar with him from rocking stages as B.O.B.’s hypeman, but Playboy Tre has been in the game for years. The former ‘Last Call Liquor Brawl’ champ drops some new visuals for his latest. Although the song features Lil Jon he doesn’t appear in the video, but a number of ATL notables make cameos such as the ATL via Philly homie Sean Falyon. Enjoy the video & remember to drink responsibly.
