You might've listened to Raekwon's new song "Untitled" posted last week, and if you liked it, or couldn't get into it because of the shitty quality, here's a new version. It's CD-Quality (CDQ), and I like it even though I didn't like the last version. It's expected to be on his new solo album "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II". Definitely check this out, has an old school feel with Raekwon's fellow old Wu-Tang members Method Man and Ghostface Killah.
Coldplay's released a B-Side to the single "Life in Technicolor" titled "The Goldrush". I've gotta say I liked the old Coldplay more, but this song's nice.
This tracks been floating around for a couple weeks, under Track 17, then as a remix of Jackie Chain's "Rollin'". It used to have Jackie's verse at the beginning, but a new version has surfaced with only Cudi's part. I liked it, it's only two minutes, but check it out.
The father and son have a new song again. It's getting a little old, their act I mean, but here's Birdman's "Always Strapped" featuring Lil Wayne. It's alright, take a listen if you like their older stuff.
Here's some Unreleased Kanye featuring John Legend and Consequence. I'm pretty sure it's not new seeing that Kanye isn't using a voice box, or being too cocky.
The band Gomez is coming out with a new album coming out on March 31. They have released the song Airstream Driver, for free download on their website. The song is really nice, the band is great, I really like the energy of their music.
I've never really been a big fan of K-os until his single "Sunday Morning" came out. Kheaven (given name) is from Toronto though, and has been around for 16 years, so I feel he deserves a post on Sick Tingz. k-os is dropping his debut album "Yes!" some time in March. Apparently, it's suppose to be a double-disk too. No word yet if this song will be featured on the album.
I found a remix version of "Good Morning" on the Kickdrums album. I thought it was much better than the original. The beat definitely flows much better with the lyrics. The original beat did not work at all. If you're a Yeezy fan, download this for sure.
I've been meaning to post this song for a long time. I had to take a doube look at the song name the first time I saw it. What is James Blunt doing on a Freeway track? You're probably having many doubts right this moment, but forget about them. I found this track great, and the James Blunt chorus was fantastic.
Hey, I just came across the artist "Tokin Black Guy". Turns out this guy's being produced by Kanye West. I've never heard of him. He only has a couple songs from what I saw on his MySpace. They're really up beat, and a little different from what you usually hear.
Pete Doherty, an English musician and member of the band Babyshambles is out with some new solo tracks. You might know him as the cocaine addicted ex-boyfriend of Kate Moss. Very nice songs though, so check them out, and enjoy.
I've known about musician Dan Black for several months now, and just today came across a cover he made of Notorious B.I.G.'s song Hypnotize, titled HYPNTZ. Honestly, good job Dan. I'm also going to include some original songs by him. He's said to be a rising artist in 2009, so I hope you enjoy it.
Raekwon's out with a new song with one of my favourite olds chool rappers Method Man. The song's Untitled (lazy bastards), and not the best I've heard, but it's worth listening to. The quality of the song isn't too good, so we'll post a better one when discovered.
For those of you that have seen the picture of Rick Ross as a prison guard, you'll know what 50 is talking about. His diss song is set toward Ricky and his career as a police officer. It's pretty funny, I must admit.
As of yesterday, JT turned 28, and I felt that he deserves a post on Sick Tingz. This track is brand new, and expected to be on "TBA", his third studio album. The beginning isn't the greatest I find, so skip a bit ahead. I'm pretty excited for this album, after listening to FutureSex / LoveSounds.
I recently downloaded the new Kickdrums album Smash the System, and I was a bit disappointed. There weren't as many tracks that I loved this time. "Classic" was probably my favorite song on the album, produced by the Kickdrums. I'll probably post more from the album in the future.
