New Kickdrums! When I Come Down


This one's off the Just A Game EP, just premiered today.

The Ropes - Be My Gun


This isn't a new song, it's been out for a month I think now. It was on The Ropes' new EP, and it's actually not bad. Give it a listen, you can download it below. If you like it, buy the new EP on iTunes.

The Ropes - Be My Gun

New Justice U2 Remix

U2's first single off their new album No Line on the Horizon came out a few months ago now, and Justice just made a remix. It's a lot more electronicy and has a heavy bass in the back. I was never really a fan of the original, but check this one out.

KiD CuDi Featuring Kanye & Common Radio Rip

There's KiD CuDi, along with Kanye West and his (Kanye's) girlfriend. This one's a radio rip, so it's hard to listen to. They go in over Lady Gaga's acoustic version (the one with the piano) of "Poker Face". It'd be not bad if it was better quality. Check it out.

KiD CuDi Ft. Kanye West & Common - Poker Face

Asher Roth's Day Off


Asher visits Peter Parker's Radio show. Ash performs an acapella of "The Reading" then goes into an original freestyle.

New Metric Album

Metric was supposed to come out with yet another album on April 7th, but it was pulled forward and released on the 31st, so I thought some of their new songs would be appropriate. "Help I'm Alive" was a pretty mainstream hit, so I'm sure many of you have already heard it. "Sick Muse" is just a really nice song I liked.

Metric - Help I'm Alive
Metric - Sick Muse

Busta Rhymes Ft. Lil Wayne & Jadakiss

I'm always happy to post some new Busta Rhymes, especially if the song is featuring Weezy. Can't say I feel the same for Jadakiss though. The rapping is pretty dope throughout the song, with a weird chorus to follow. After a few listens you'll most likely start enjoying this song.

Busta Rhymes Ft. Lil Wayne & Jadakiss - Conglomerate

New! Wale

I've had this song in my iTunes for a few days, and I've finally decided to post it. Wale actually posted this on his Twitter, asking his fans how he could upload this to zShare. This song is obviously representing his new lifestyle with a title like Penthouse Anthem. Can't say I fell inlove with this song, bit too slow for my likings. 

Wale - Penthouse Anthem

Finally Some Ash Roth

I've been waiting for a leak for Asher's new album. The beats a bit different on this one, not what I expected actually. I've only listened to this song twice, so I have no real input on it. The rhyming is dope on this track though. I understand not everyone loves Roth, but please try and give this a listen. 

Asher Roth Ft. Beanie Sigel - Perfectionist

Chamillionaire! Possibly on Venom

Yesterday I actually found out that Venom is on the list for Top 20 highest anticipated albums for 2009. Venom is number 20. When I picture Chamillionaire, I picture a guy with grills and heavy chains, thats why I chose this picture. This song is featuring J.Holiday which is pretty unexpected. Once again another slow song I'm posting here, not the greatest in my opinion.  

Chamillionaire Ft. J.Holiday - Relax

Some More Meth & Red

Alright, I'm always pumped for Meth & Red when I see their names up in blogs. If you don't know yet, Meth & Red are dropping the Blackout 2. This will be my second leak I've posted off the album. The Blackout was pretty good, I only hope it's just as good the second time around. The beats a bit slow on this one, and I'm not too into it at the moment. 

Method Man & Redman - Mrs. International

Diamond District

If you haven't already heard of Diamond District, I highly recommend everybody to look into them. These three dudes deserve mad respect. Give the whole song a play, I guarantee you'll like it. Just listen for yourself. Album art here.

Diamond District - I Mean Business

New! Lloyd Banks & Ron Browz

Let me put it simply. When you first hear this song, you're not gonna like it. Just take the zShare link, click it, leave it to start playing, and go on Facebook or something. Let it play through once, you like it. Igore the DJ tags at the beginning. This is Lloyd Banks and Ron Browz, as mainstream as you can get (other than like.. Flo Rida), enjoy.

Lloyd Banks Ft. Ron Brownz - In Love Witcha Boy

Beenie Man! No DJ Tags

I thought this was a hilarious photo for a rapper to have, so that's why I chose it. This is my first impression of Beenie Man, and he's not too bad. What caught my eye, was that this song was produced by Cookin Soul, known mostly for his Biggie Mixtapes. Give the songs a few listens, and you'll probably start loving it. 

Beenie Man - Streets is Gettin Hot

Keri Hilson Covers Kelly Clarkson

So I posted the new Killers cover a couple days ago, and that got some good response. Here's a Keri Hilson cover of "Since You've Been Gone." It has a completely different feel than the original, with a Timbaland sounding beat, with snapping and claps and the whole works. This was first performed by Keri at the FutureSex/LoveShow tour of Justin Timberlake. Check it out. By the way, I know where you're lookin' in that pic.. we all see it.

New Passion Pit Single

Formed in 2007, Passion Pit is an electro-based band from Massachussets. They're biggest single was "Sleepyhead" (from the album "Chunk of Change") which was featured in a Sony PSP commercial. They recently posted a new single on their myspace. The single is called "The Reeling", it may not live up to Sleepyhead, but it's a preview to their new album "Manners" which drops on the 19th of May.

Matt And Kim

This is a pretty cool duo, I think Bloc Party fans will appreciate it. Matt And Kim will be performing at Bumpershoot Fest in Washington along with Modest Mouse, De La Soul, MSTRKRFT and many other greats.

Matt And Kim - Verbs Before Nouns

KiD CuDi Speaks on Kanye West


A short video of KiD CuDi talking about what Kanye's done for him.

New! Rich Boy

I'm not a big Rich Boy fan, but the song is dec'. I say there's too much base in this song, but you may think different. The only thing that had changed my mind about this was the chorus, which isn't half bad actually. So I will promote Rich Boy for now, he only has 500,000 plays on Last.fm, and how long has he been around for? 

Rich Boy - It's Over

Haha Asher Roth's Great


Killers Cover Bright Eyes

I don't know what it is about them, but The Killers are probably one of my favorite non-rap or hip-hop artists. They've just always released great songs from "Mr. Brightside" to "All These Things That I've Done". I found this a couple days ago, it's new, a cover of "Four Winds" by Bright Eyes. It's supposed to be on the "Spaceman" EP, so I included the album artwork as the image. It's done the same way as the "Human" single cover. Anyway, this song is totally Killersified, and just has a different feel than the original. I'm gonna stop babbling on now, so give it a listen, I included the original for comparison.

Unreleased Asher Roth

I meant to post this yesterday, but didn't get around to it. This is an older Asher Roth song, it's not that great, but it's the song that made him. Here's what was said
I’ve been holding onto this track for about a year now. But I just got the word to let this one go. This is the track that Scooter Braun heard at 2AM on Asher’s MySpace about 2 years ago that made him sign Asher to SchoolBoy Records. Asleep in the Bread Aisle in stores April 20!
Check it out. By the way, ever notice how in 90% of pictures of him, he's wearing the blue Jordan IVs? It was this pic that first made me look into them and decide to buy them.

New! CuDi & Wale

I'm always excited to see new CuDi or Wale, but to see these guys on the same track, I was fucking pumped. Now this isn't officially a "new" track, since both of CuDi's and Wale's verses have been borrowed from another song. The beats pretty hot, produced by someone I've never heard of; Breez. So I'm giving Breez some props for creating this, and doing the background vocals. Link to the album art here.

KiD CuDi Ft. Wale - Look Up In Da Stars

Serius Jones Ft. Nate Dogg - Smoke (Video)


I'm liking this song

New! XV

Alright, so this is my second XV song, and I'm impressed. Skip the first like 30 seconds of the song, then it starts getting good. This song is the first single of XV's upcoming album "The Kid with the Green Backpack". I'm loving the title of the album, because green backpacks are just sick. So definitely give this song a try, the beat is a bit techno, but it works well. This is the mastered version too. Link to the album artwork here.

XV - A.D.D.

Officer Ross

Now everyone knew me as that guy that loved Rick Ross. Truly I did, I have over 50 plays for like 10 of his songs--his older songs that is. When I found out about "Officer Ross" it didn't bother me too much, I mean his music was still the same. Today, thats a different matter, I've felt that Ross has been too caught up in this bullshit, mainly with 50 Cent, and has lost his touch. I wanted to post a single off of his new album in stores April 21. It's dec'.

Rick Ross Ft. Nas & Kevin Cossom - Usual Suspects

Some More Freeway

I actually lied, Freeway is only featured in this. I've become a Freeway fan ever since the collaboration with James Blunt. The songs pretty good, about Barack Obama obviously. Freeway's verse is pretty tight, better than Trillogy's I think. Not too much I have to say on this, except it's a nice song to bump too. 

Trillogy Ft. Freeway - We Made It

Juelz & Weezy!

This mixtape dropped approximately two weeks ago now, but it's hot. I had a few favorites off this, and I've just come across CDQ versions. These three songs go hard, the beat is pretty tight, and I'm liking what both these guys are spittin'. If you're a Juelz or Weezy fan, I definitely recommend these songs. 

Juelz Santana & Lil Wayne - By Myself
Juelz Santana & Lil Wayne - 1 Arm
Juelz Santana & Lil Wayne - Guys Like Us

Mick Boogie & Terry Urban

Alright, well I went through hell putting this into my iTunes, and from iTunes onto Sick Tingz. I don't understand how someone could design such a retarded music player. Anyways, I had downloaded the entire Mick Boogie and Terry Urban mixtape last night-expecting a lot. What I heard, was pretty bad. I selected two songs which I felt were decent, one is a very short, but very sick freestyle. It goes over "Crazy" by Gnarles Barkley. I do hope for better the next time. 

S.O.U.L. Purpose - Freestyle (Part II)
S.O.U.L. Purpose Ft. G.C. - Black Ice

Big Kuntry featuring T.I. & Young Dro

It's a little electronically, and I like it. T.I. was sentenced to a year and one day in jail, so this is probably one of the last songs you'll hear from him in a while. It's titled "I Do" and it's kinda about love, and also kinda about being better than other people. It's deep. Oh and about a car, its rims, and paint and everything.

New Fall Out Boy + Joe Budden + 88-Keys + Murs

Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy is apparently releasing a solo album, and from this first glance, I'm not sure if he's doing rock or rap. It's a remix of "America's Suitehearts" which is off FOB's newish album "Folie A Deux". It's a pretty decent song actually, all the rappers fit. Check it out.

New Luda & Shawnna

Never heard of Shawnna before, but she sounds a little weird on this track. It suits Ludacris completely though, so I like his verses. It's a new drunk driving anthem, check it out. By the way, biggest picture of Ludacris I've ever seen, click it above to see the original size.

New MSTRKRFT Album

For those of you who don't know MSTRKRFT, they are a electronic duo who create awesome beats and have been known to make remixes for Death From Above 1979, Justice, and Metric. Their album has been highly anticipated after the release of their single "Bounce" which features N.O.R.E. Their new album "Fist of God" dropped 10 days ago.

The Chairs

The chairs are a highly talented band. They're out with their debut album "Laugh, it's a Fright". This album has a wide range of emotion, sound, and what the band is really about. The two songs are off the album, which I'd really recommend everybody to look into.

The Chairs - If You Were A Murderer
The Chairs - The Hipster

JT & Weezy Snippet

Here's the latest song with Justin Timberlake and Lil Wayne. It's just a snippet but it's dope. Can't wait until the full song's released.

Justin Timberlake Ft. Lil Wayne - I Heard Something (Remix)[Snippet]

Young Jeezy With Ludacris

The song was off a mixtape, sounds sick though it's pretty short.

Young Jeezy & Ludacris - Hey Girl
