Yo.......so I'm tired of absent mindedly clicking on the link to my blog in the browser tab and seein' the same bullshit.......like someone else is goin' to post and update this piece. So here it is....hopefully I can stick with it for a little while. A couple new tracks to start.........


Pharrell feat. Gwen Stefani - Have It Like That

This has been floatin' around the Internets for a couple weeks now but it's worthy of my time to push it further to the masses. This song will be huge in about 3 months, as soon as the video shows up on MTV. Pharrell and Chad have the Midas (platinum equivalent if there is one) touch because they are just that good and Gwen is the Pop Princess. Star Trak!



Cage - Shoot Frank feat. Darryl Palumbo prod. by RJD2

Alex the Worm King is back with a new album and has done some serious growin' up (check out HipHopSite for the interview, I would post the link but their site runs weird) since we heard from him last. It's good to see in hip hop something that starts as a rumor actually manifest into something that is as good if not better than expected. What I am speakin' of here is Cage movin' to Def Jux to be under the masterful eye of resident genius El-P. (no homo) I'm glad this didn't end up like another Rakim-Aftermath-Dr. Dre type fiasco. On to the track........this is one of the best songs, if not the best, to come out in 2005. This song has so much emotion and soul in it without seeming like its trying too hard......RJ's beat is flawless, Cage's flow is ridic and this Darryl Palumbo is a perfect compliment to both. The rest of the album, Hell's Winter, is on as well, holla at it.


The Re-Up Gang - Zen

More fiiiiya from the Star Trak camp.....The Clipse have easily been the hardest, realest, best street hip hop to come out in the last 5 years period. Pusha hits the nail on the head when he speaks on it, this is the upper echelon in street hip hop. Add to Pusha and Malice two fiya spitters in Ab-Liva and Sandman and you have shit that I want to listen to a full album of. This beat sounds like a Lil' Kim song from a whiiiiiiile back but this shit is fire, it's about time a quality version of this leaked out. Malice kills it with turn it/turn it/ fire burn it/ gram weight straight like a nigga just permed it. holla. Hopefully they can cut the label bullshit that's been goin' on since Lord Willin' and bless the streets with another joint. In the mean time check what has to be in the top 5 of mixtapes for the year in We Got It 4 Cheap Vol. 2. This is better than the majority of albums that have came out over the last 9 months. Listen to the second verse on Monopoly. Back Grindin'! We ain't no holla back, we holla black.
