First Listen Playlist: Your friends are invited too...

ATL native Big Boi and fashionable rapper Theophilius London team up for a collaborative panty-droppin effort. This Chris Carmouche produced smooth, sexy single titled "She Said Ok", cancels out any form of game and gets directly to the point with lyrics like "Let me see your t!tties..." The bravery and boldness of this track is only emphasized by the chorus provided by Sleepy Brown, i mean, Tre Luce. This track can be heard on Sir Luscious Left Foot's new upcoming album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, and London's upcoming mixtape Escape from Rose Island. Both release dates have yet to be revealed. 


In another dose of rappers collaborating, cloud nine rapper Curren$y collabs with Pharrell for this laid back, chill smokers track. Leaked from his upcoming effort Stoned Immaculate, the Jet Life emcee remains consistent with the a dope flow and solid track. Produced by VA's own Pharrell and, with help from auto-tune, he delivers a catchy hook that blends perfect with the beat. This track is nothing too innovative or new from the emcee but it is dope nonetheless.



Childish Gambino has been on his hustle lately with leak after leak and today I bring you two of his newest tracks, "Silk Pillow" ft Beck and "Black Faces" ft Nipsey Hussle. Although many have given him mixed reviews, I have grown to like his latest works and these two new tracks do not disappoint. On "Black Faces", Hussle opens the serious, darker tone track with a sick 16 bar rap flow while Gambino later closes it out with the chorus and rap. It is clear that Glover aka Gambino wants to be taken seriously as a rapper and nothing is more interesting than dragging Beck out of hiatus to collab on the other leak "Silk Pillow". This track takes a less serious tone but still has the darker, somewhat reminiscent sound of Beck's Mellow Gold days with the addition of some rapping. Both tracks are dope and although Gambino needs a bit of refinement in delivery and lyrical flow, he is still a dope emcee.  


I have been a big fan of Beck since the 90's. With a brief hiatus, he teams up with Jack White and delivers the country-rock track "I just started hating some people today". This White produced track is complete with guitar rips, harmonica, and some punk. Breaking down into a completely different song  within 4 minutes, Beck returns to the weird rocker we know and love. This is not a comeback hit in the least but is a good reassurance that with the time away from the spotlight, Beck has not changed his interesting yet unique style.  


It seems like this past week has been the week for features and unexpected collabos. In the latest release from Grammy winning emcee Omen, the newest single "Homecoming" features lyrical blessings from newcomers A.N.R.D., Skyzoo, and Denzil Porter. This feel good track of making it samples the legendary BIG's "Juicy" lines over a brass and percussion-driven beat. Omen's long-awaited new work Black Hero Theme Musik is set to hit the net June 18th.


Kid Ink has been making a steady buzz on the underground and mainstream over the past year. Personally I do not understand the excess hype and feel that his flow and appeal is generic, but his latest freestyle on the track "Hear them talk" is far from whack.  The dark, bass heavy track is coupled with background yelling and vocals and Ink's dope flow. I am not exactly sure if it the beat or the lyrics, but regardless this Hot New Hip Hop exclusive freestyle is sick. His debut album Up&Away takes off on June 12th. 


Bobby V has been relatively quiet as of late. After the not so impressing sales of his last album, Fly On the Wall, he returns with a new leaked track titled "Mirror". This uptempo K.E. on the Track produced single is another dive into the freaky as Mississippi bred singer describes using a mirror to watch a beautiful woman he is having sex with. The addition of Lil Wayne, no relation to his song by a similar name,  with a self-loathing rap has all the makings of becoming a moderate radio hit at best. As the lead single to his upcoming fifth full length album Dusk Till Dawn, I am assuming that Bobby V. is staying to true to his style of light and sex filled R&B. 


From a number iTunes downloaded EP to steady releasing videos and new music, former Didy Dirty Money singer Dawn Richard awarded her fans with a new release titled "Wild N' Young". Although this track was leaked a week or so ago, I wanted to keep it current by posting with the new music playlist. The fast paced and percussion heavy blend of electronic, dance, and tribal rhythms is very similar to the previous style of her work on her EP Armor On. Imagine if Sade and Ciara had a baby and you would have an idea of what to expect on this new single. The song is a solid effort from Richard but the production and her voice do not seem to blend to well. Like her other song "Bombs", her unique voice tends to get drowned out but the aggressive beat. 

I must admit that I was not exactly a fan from the beginning when I first saw Florence+the machine perform on the 2011 VMA Awards. The unique and intricate style of the UK singer reminded a lot of Bjork but with more psychedelic and theatrical pieces. As of late, I still am on the fence about her work but am growing to like the remixes and features. With the latest remix of her song "Spectrum", electronic mega-producer Calvin Harris adds a dance spin to the Ceremonials track. It is a fun remix, sounds a little generic but still a good effort. What makes this song is Florence's powerful, siren-like voice.

Sbtrkt has really grown on me lately. From his addicting "Wildfire" to his work with Sampha on the single "Hold On", there is something to like about the mix of chill, laid back electronic and quality production. With his latest release "Gamelena", he continues his style of heavy bass beats that are audio crack. Not exactly what a Gamelena is but this early release starts off with a low pulsing beat then quickly picks up tempo while still remaining soft and haunting. Like a mix between the "natural noises of the rainforest" cd's and techno undercurrents, this beat is soothing and dope. Expect more from the Dj/producer soon.

Kirk Randle aka Kirko Bangz has been steadily taking over the radio stations with his hit single "Drank in My Cup". With his latest leaked single "That Pole (Remix)", he recruits the VA performer Chris Brown. This ballad to the "working girl" is nothing less than a hood slow jam that is almost as infectious to the ears as "Drank in My Cup". Although this will not be as big as of a hit as "Drank in my Cup", the addition of Brown is a nice touch and could find its way on the charts. 


I have been a fan of Wale since "Nike Boots" days and with his new release "Actin Up" from the upcoming compilation CD, MMG Presents: Self Made Vol. 2, he recruits the help of French Montana and yelling talents of Meek Mill. Although the DC rapper has been a favorite of mine, this church choir , bass heavy beat is a little played out and the chorus is weak. Not really feeling this track and French Montana's verse doesn't really help. This is really a collab effort because Wale has one verse throughout the whole song. I am not really feeling this and from the weak rhymes, I don't think that the other rappers were really feeling it either. 


Taking a break from starting beef with VA emcee Pusha T, Wayne leaks a new track titled "My homies Still". I am pretty sure that this track was recorded way before Wayne launched an all out attack on G.O.O.D. music rapper Pusha T because Big Sean is featured on the track. Produced by Street Runner and Sarom, this fast-paced bouncy and skittery beat is becoming Wayne's new signature. As random and schizo as this track is, I am actually kind of feeling it. Sean delivers and kills the beat. The more you listen it, the more it actually starts to grow on you. Whether the beef was a publicity stunt or not, this single trumps the bs drama that Weezy has decided to start. Expect I am Not a Human Being 2 later this year. 


Taking into the weird, expressive, and artistic, Badu collaborates with the rock group Flaming Red Lips in the track "First time I ever saw your face". Released in April as part of a double vinyl, one of the standout tracks was a remake to the Roberta Flack hit single of the same name. Not exactly the most uplifting or uptempo single, the heavy and chilling bass rip compliments the soft vocals from Badu. Oddly enough, this song is equally haunting as it is good. The psychedelic video is something to leave you just pondering and continually hitting the replay button as you try to understand what you just witnessed.

First Listen...Playlist

Although it is a couple days late, I've been busy, I wanted to give the followers some great new music that was recently released. So here it is for your listening enjoyment. First Listen Playlist for the boys and girls!

Nas "Daughters"
"Nah, the way mothers feel for they sons, how fathers feel for they daughters
When he date, he straight, chip off his own papa
When she date, we wait behind the door with the sawed off"
There has been a surge of rappers taking a positive outlook on fatherhood and making a track for their sons/daughters. Jay had "Glory" and now Nas has "Daughters", both songs tribute to the proud fathers of the world. This track has an old school appeal with the No I-D produced beat and still holds street credibility with Nas' lyrics. The soulful drum and sampled vocal connection of beat and rhymes make an honest and great single from his upcoming album Life is Good dropping July 17th. 

Slaughterhouse "My Life" ft Cee-Lo
In most artist's career, they are faced with the decision to make a song for the radio or for the fans. With "My Life" ft Cee-Lo, Slaughterhouse stays true to delivering great lyrics while Cee-Lo's vocals (inspired from Corona's "Rhythm of the Night") make it catchy enough to get major radio play. This track is a pleasant surprise from the supergroup and great single from their upcoming Shady Records debut album due out on Jun 12th. 
Wale" Slight Work" (remix)
Like the one kid that was last to be picked for sports during gym class, Wale must have been feeling sympathy for rappers Diddy, French Montana, and Mase because they are on the newly leaked remix to the track "Slight Work". I am not sure why they needed to remix this sleeper hit but this line-up is beyond random. Not just the addition of Diddy delivering one of his best ghostwritten flows but the return of Mase is what stood out the most on the track. I was pleasantly surprised though because he definitely did his thing. Not sure if the former pastor is making that comeback but was he really missed in the rap game?
Warren G "Party We will throw now" ft Nate Dogg and Game
After over 20 years into the game, Warren G brings back the sound of the West Coast party rap that he found success in on his new track "Party We will Throw Now!". With help from the deceased Nate Dogg and fellow west coast emcee Game, this laid-back track is classic Cali sound from back when I was a kid in the 90's. His lyrical flow is still the same and who can hate on a hook from Nate dogg? The track isn't his comeback hit but is a good effort from the rap veteran. 
Gotye ft Kimbra "Somebody that you used to know" (tiesto remix)
Tiesto offers a spin on the roster of the vast remixes to the mega-hit "Somebody that I used to Know" by Gotye. What Tiesto accomplishes with this remix is that he is able to still keep the same chill vibe of the original while still sounding like it would be great at a live set once the beat drops after the first chorus. I am still obsessed with the original to replace with this remix but Tiesto made a nice effort to take the "break-up song" to the club.
Vado "What that Mouth do" + "Badman"
Bass and drum heavy beat driven track, "What that mouth do" is Vado's attempt to deliver a thirst thug club anthem. The track is aight. Vado isnt the best lyricist and the beat sounds a little generic, almost like a thrown away club song from Noreaga. With the other leaked track "Badman", Vado takes it to the streets to warn listeners that he "sees more dead people than a mortician". Well its a wonder how he managed to stay alive, he must really be a bad man or stays safe in the comfort of his home while watching the evening news. I am not sure but Vado is determined to keep it hard and street for the fans who love this type of rap. The chorus is catchy but I don't see either being a standout hit.


"Bad Man"
Brandy "Put It Down"ft Chris Brown
Joining the success from her hit "It all Belongs to Me", Brandy recruits Chris Brown to slow down the mood and make a bedroom anthem track "Put it Down". This is one of the few times that Brandy has taken advantage of her sex appeal on a track and it mixes well with the Bangladesh and Sean Garrett beat. Why Chris Brown decided to step onto the track and rap makes as much sense as Brandy's short lived career as the rapper BrandNu. Regardless of the choice, this track is a good fit for the songstress.

Idle Warship "Driving Me Insane"
The dynamic relationship between singer and rapper with a more alternative and experimental music vibe is what makes Idlewarship an interesting and creative group. With their new track "Driving me Insane", Idlewarship takes inspiration from metal rock while singer Res tries her hand at delivering a quick rhyme. I have been a fan of hers for awhile and this track shows off her vocal talents and Kweli's quick/witty rap compliments this song well. It is apparent that the two are just having fun with this track and it does seem a little underproduced.

Brandon Hines "Yes You are"
The Jermaine Dupri written and Bryan Cox produced ballad is a promo single for the newly signed R&B crooner Brandon Hines. On "Yes You Are", he declares his love for that one special girl in his life. Appropriately released on Valentine's Day, this is a solid track and a good effort for the industry new comer. This song will not be his stand-out hit to set him apart from the top heavy weight singers in the male R&B game, but it is a "cute" single that is a good attempt at making his females fans' fall further in love.

New Music playlist

Since it went so well last week, I decided to keep the same concept of one post, short description, and list of music to fill your playlist. In the spirit of Friday and freedom, today is a good time to bring you the latest music to help release the stress of the working week.

"Rihanna's Gun" Chris Cab ft. Mavado & Wyclef- Dancehall has been lacking from the mainstream for awhile. To bring back the smooth and melodic sounds that the Carribean islands emcompass, Chris Cab took inspiration from one of the most famous island girl's of today, Rihanna. This track is smooth and lyrically focuses on the crazy that some island girls may possess, but its just hard to stay away sometimes.

"Far From a Bitch" and "You Don't Know" Yelawolf- Im not gonna lie, I slept on Yelawolf before but after listening to his album, I have become a fan. He delivers on these leaked tracks, definitely worth a listen and I can understand why Shady endorses him.
"Far from a bitch"
"You don't know"
Although David Guetta isn't the most respected and loved of the techno/house/dubstep DJ gods, he definitely knows how to make hits. Below is a fan made visual for "Turn Me On" ft Nicki Minaj and a link for "Nothing Really Matters" ft Will.I.Am. Both songs are off Guetta's latest album Nothing But the Beat.
"Turn Me On"
"Nothing Really Matters"
