Nice track here by Young Chris & J. Cole, has that classic Rocafella feel to it. Oh and its good to see not everyone from the old Rocafella stable burning their bridges, so to speak.
As always, get the track below.

A new radio friendly track from Bone Thugs. I’m really liking this, its one that will certainly grow on you and I can see this being a hit for them. The chorus is great and is supplemented with a very good beat, which always helps.

Visuals for this Mike Shindoa-produced collab, which was one of the tracks from the Haiti Relief album. You should really look to get that album (the amount you pay is up to you) as not only is it a great cause, but the music on it is actually very good. Can be accquired (and previewed) here.

Cassidy reminisces about his days as a juvenile on his grind with troubles with the law and compares it with his life now as a father with responsibilities, who steers away from controversy. Great beat and sample for the chorus on this track which (obviously) enhances the reminiscent subject of the track. I’ll be adding this to my playlist, that’s for sure.

I do like it when hip-hop artists move away from the norm and deliver stuff like this. Kidz In The Hall did it, and now Intuition adds a really likeable spin to this superb alternative track. As stated previously, I really enjoyed the original version of Two Weeks when I checked out the album late last year, and the Intuition verse is a very nice addition.
Click here for more Intuition too. He’s an underground rapper I’ve only recently heard of, but he’s very good. This particular track is from his I Ruined These Songs For You collection. Hilarious name, but not remotely true luckily!

I’m downloading this as I type so haven’t checked it out yet. The story behind this is that NBA rookie Brandon Jennings asked Wale to ‘make a song that he could get hype to pre-game‘. That fills me with a lot of confidence as Wale is as good as anyone on the uptempo/positive joints, so this should be good stuff. Looking forward to some new running music!

This week’s TT is for Ajay as much as anyone as I know he is a big fan of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth. They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y) was the lead single from Rock and Smooth’s debut Mecca and the Soul Brother (1992). A now classic, T.R.O.Y was inspired by the death of a close friend, “Trouble” T. Roy of Heavy D and the boys.

This is SO GOOD. Bruno Mars kicks off the track on a Jason Mraz-esque tip, and it blossoms into a fantastically well-rounded track. Trav drops some great verses as ever, and Bruno’s hook is further embellished by a simple yet very likeable production.
It’s naturally got a Gym Class Heroes feel to it, but definitely with some differences. If you enjoyed B.o.B and Bruno’s collab (see a few posts below), you’ll like this. If you like chilled out crossover hip-hop you’ll like this. Hell, if you like music you’ll like this!

Nothing like a bit of gangsta rap to get you through a Wednesday morning.
Up and coming emcee Mysonne, collaborating with the seasoned veteran – Styles P, have set the gangsta levels to MAX on this track. Download below.

This man can do no wrong in my eyes, which is why I’m pleased at the number of tracks he’s been coming out with lately.
Here is another one by him that fans will enjoy, a track with no hook, focusing on his lyrics and delivery. One to nod the head to.
Maino – gagaga

More visuals from Kam Moye’s recent album for the underground hip-hop fans to enjoy.
Just a quick note too-There has been a lot of great stuff dropped over the last 24hrs that you might have missed as we’ve been trying to get it on ASAP, so be sure to cycle back and check it all out!

Sweet! Finally, we get the visuals for this awesome track and the video is really good. It’s a happy, positive video which really fits the track well and has a superb feel-good factor.
For those of you who are complete idiots and missed this first time out, you can either continue in blissful stupidity or grab the audio here.

As I alluded to on Friday, here are the tracks that I had to cut from that episode. I didn’t want to cut them as a lot of them could have made any other episode, but it was simply a time constraint and the fact that having a 30-40 track episode would have been impossible for you to read.
Click on for 14 more tracks to see you through until Friday.

This is actually really, really good. It’s got a much eerier feel than the original video, which fits the song really well. Not that the original didn’t, but they fit the song in different ways.
I really like the ‘groundhog day’ repetition that they’ve got going on, and it definitely catches a different mindset than the original.
Very interesting video, and really well directed. I’m not sure which version I prefer though, I think I’m 50/50. Great song, 2 great videos=winner!

Indeed he is!
One rapper gets banged up (Lil’ Wayne, finally!) and one comes back. I think most hip-hop heads would take Tip over Wayne, so this is a welcome comeback.
This has that classic T.I. sound, with a banging beat and some nice flows. T.I. brings his usual intensity and sounds as passionate as ever on this one. Very likeable track, and is definitely worth checking out. Oh, and all you terrible Southern rappers who somehow profited in Tip’s absence- your 15 minutes of fame are up, get out of my inbox and back to washing cars.

Most of y’all should be familiar with the XXL 10 Freshman thing they do. Last year’s was great, and they were pretty much spot on with them all. I can’t say I know as much about 2 or 3 of this year’s 10, but expect a lot from the ones I am familiar with. I do however find the inclusion of OJ Da Juiceman in a ’serious’ list to be ridiculous (quiet down Tempest!). For those who haven’t yet checked out who’s in this year, click here.
Anyway, this is a mixtape full of new tracks from these guys and will 100% be worth grabbing. Some of these guys are definitely going to blow up this year, so don’t miss out.

I’m not going to lie, I know very little about the rapper Feroz, but I am checking anything by Cory Gunz, who features on this track. I’m told this is the latest leak off Feroz’ mixtape Invisible Man and on first impressions I’m liking this track. If you’re a fan of East Coast music by the likes of Saigon, Papoose, Maino etc then Cory Gunz isn’t a name you should be sleeping on.

Oh my. Give me a second to get myself straight.
The first (possible) leak from the Cudi’s 2nd album boasts a Snoop feature but apparently a Dr. Dre beat (it’s confirmed that it’s not Dre unfortunately). What’s not to like?! The beat is a good one, Cudi’s flows are tight and the hook is catchy. Cudder promised a more uptempo feel to the album, and this delivers. It’s one of those tracks that might not blow you away on first listen but will sound better the more you spin it.
Definitely gotta grab this one, and it’s 2/2 on collabos for today! Be sure to grab the other Snoop/Cudi track from Snoop’s upcoming re-release.

Absolutely superb collaboration. Colin Munroe slays this hook, and Naledge drops some dope verses. The beat is a really good one too, and the overall uplifting and motivational feel of this track is definitely a likeable one. Just Blaze is credited with a feature on this track as his ‘alter ego’ Red 5ive, although it sounds like he’s only on backing vocals. Works for me though as he’s also a co-producer on it, and having Just on production in any capacity is always a good thing.
This is an all-rounder that will definitely suit a wide variety of tastes. Could be a really big hit too, if given the right promo, and gives me high hopes for the upcoming album.

Royce wastes no time in dropping some bars over the new Drake single. Twitter was going crazy about this earlier, so I expect Royce is going to body this beat hard. I liked this beat, so I don’t think you should be missing this if you claim to be a hip-hop fan.

Visuals for the Reflection Eternal single. One worth checking out, and the audio can be swacked here for those of you who were too ignorant the first time.
