Somehow Office Ricky scores Jay and Dre for a great collabo for his new LP, God Forgives…I Don’t. It has a nice old school beat, and these three play well of each other. Hopefully the track with Andre 3000 is even better.
Rick Ross ft. Dr. Dre, and Jay-Z – 3 Kings
Community and 30 Rock Star, Donald Glover comes out swinging with an album quality mixtape for free. Royalty is a collection of high end production and clever wordplay. He has definitely taken a more aggressive route with his lyrics and the funny rhymes of the past are few and far in between. I strongly suggest d/l the album, after all you have nothing to lose, it’s free. Download here: http://www.datpiff.com/Childish-Gambino-Royalty-mixtape.369224.html Check below some of the highlights:
Won’t Stop
Shoulda Known
R.I.P.
Toxic
Wow, one of my favorites gets a smooth remix courtesy of Chicago natives, Houses. Check it out you won’t be disappointed.
Kings Of Leon – Pyro (Houses Remix)
Overwerk breathes new life into the J.Cole lead single. This starts getting funky around the 1:00 min mark. He starts infusing some Daft Punk samples with some heavy bass and synth, enjoy!
J. Cole – Werk Out (OVERWERK Remix)
The G.O.O.D. family is warming up. After “Mercy,” and “Theraflu,” Kanye lets us hear “New God Flow,” after performing a verse at the 2012 BET Awards. Push and Kanye are great together jumping into each other’s verses. This group album should be shaping up nicely. We haven’t even heard any tracks with Common or John Legend, but this track is a good indication we are in for a treat.
Kanye West & Pusha T – New God Flow
I have to say I might be one of the few left that believes 50 Cent still is a viable artist, he proves time and time again his hard work ethic in music. Any other artist who has made tens and hundreds of millions of dollars on a variety of business ventures would sit back and drop music once every couple of years if not retire. Curtis continues to release music already having dropped the “Big 10,” and “Lost Tapes,” mixtapes this year. Now he is releasing his latest offering this Friday on his website, thisis50.com. I like the sample and the beat is aggressive, great gym music here. Check it out.
50 Cent – You Will Never Take My Crown
ABX gives us another great mashup from thehoodinternet.com. Here they combine Usher’s new single with Santigold’s track. This gives the track a little more rock feel to it with the added drums.
Usher x Santigold – See Youth
Wichita’s finest is back with a brand new mixtape. XV is another hip hop artist who is due for a big break. He doesn’t come anywhere near rap stereotypes and has developed a unique storytelling flow revolving around pop culture references. “Her Favorite Song,” sticks out as a radio ready single. Raj comes out of nowhere to deliver a catchy hook, and his sound is reminiscent of Idol, Chris Richardson. Check out the song and then click here to download the whole project for free.
XV – Her Favorite Song
Where has this guy been. Right on schedule Sean Paul is back with a mohawk and a nice jam for the summer. This one is a sleeper, but should gain some momentum.
Sean Paul – She Doesn’t Mind
Take a little Kid Cudi and mix it with two up and coming artists and “Hands on the Wheel,” is what you get. A$AP is gaining a lot of momentum right now. Also check out Lissie’s cover of “Pursuit of Happiness.”
