We Got That (Gretzky)

Not a newcomer on the scene but he's definitely been in the shadows (well maybe Cam'Rons), Jim Jones has released about two singles this year for his upcoming album entitled CAPO. The 1st of which is Blow My Smoke, is featured in the album. A second single We Got That (Gretzky) is completely promotional. After having breakout success on his third studio album Hustler's P.O.M.E. (Product Of My Environment) he showed fans and haters alike that he could flex his lyrical muscles and provide great East Coast music. While his 4th album Pray IV Reign garnered generally mixed to bad reviews, he has still pushed on teaming up with DJ Webstar for The Rooftop. This, and the reunion of the Dipset label (Cam'Ron, Juelz Santana, and Jim Jones) has fueled him to dish out another serving of what is Jimmy... the CAPO album; soon to be out by December 7th, 2010.

Throwback Tuesday Pt.3

2Pac Shakur - California Love! Oh we're getting it in in todays Throwback Tuesday! Enjoy!

Mt. Eden's Dubstep

This track is entitled Sierra Leone. It's very nice and laid back, and it's a change if you like to listen to dubstep. Recently I've been looking more and more into YouTube and other media outlets for dubstep and these guys, Mt. Eden hailing from New Zealand have found a winning combination of using live instruments, vocals, and the always needed dubstep wub wub wub sound. Check them out if you like the track, I believe they are unsigned but independent is always the way to go!

Holster Gun Shirt

These are by a French-Canadian shop, called Rita. It's very interesting, they use one color process on the shirt and make it out of vectors and come out with one image. Check out this shirt. Make sure not to wear it to the airport/club spot though! Shipped to the US from Canada is about $12 dollars, making this shirt a good $50 something dollars. Expensive, but you pay for great quality.

Stunnaman Legendary Mixtape

Another one from the West Coast, this time it's Stunnaman from The Pack with his latest mixtape entitled Legendary, check out the intro track, along with two other party/club songs on the mixtape.

Feelin' Myself!

Nipsey Hussle, one of the newest MC's to hit the music scene and shake up L.A. hip-hop, has just dropped a banger of a club song. Feelin' Myself featuring Lloyd came out last month (September) and it's making it's way through the channels. If you don't know who Nipsey is, he could be considered a younger version of Snoop by the way his looks and demeanor go, but he is far from him. Growing up in Slaunson, in the City of Crenshaw, Nipsey like in most rappers situation was in and out of jail. Being in the Rollin' 60's Crip gang didn't make it better but he soon found out that a good way of making money might just be by telling stories of his life, what has affected him most, and how to get out of poverty and make it in life by the use of his last name. Hussle. Check out his mixtapes and his forthcoming album South Central State of Mind dropping December 21st!

Black and Yellow!

The pittsburgh pirate, Wiz Khalifa, delivers a new hit with a track called "Black and Yellow" now out on iTunes and other music sites. This song is definitely more hype than his last few (see This Plane and Name on a Cloud) and the lyrics and chorus are catchy, very well versed for a guy who is still pretty unknown to the mainstream masses. Check out his mixtape Burn After Rolling and his 2nd album Deal or No Deal for more of his music. Thus far he is one of the many new school cats who can rhyme very well while keeping all eyes on him. Let's see what the future has in store!
