  T-Boz X Too Short: Get it Girl

Man if only TLC was still going strong...This def sounds like something they would be on in the year 2009. Annndd it would only be the beginning, because you know they were always on some uber glactic stuff. Anyway, I don't know where this track came from. Somebody probably found it in the corner of the studio or something. It's still a bopper.

  Kelis Don't Need No Beat!

It's been a long time comin-Sam Cooke voice- No, but really its has been a minute since Kelis has released a single from an upcoming album. Yesterday via her twitter page @iamkelis, she released the debut single from her upcoming project. According to her website, Kelis's album is nearly done. She's signed a new deal and will be ready to release it some time soon here. The new track "Acapella" has a dance/techno feel so at this point who knows what direction the album is going in. Nonetheless it still sound like Kelis which is something her fans can appreciate.

  We Found Danny!

I'll admit at first I was like this dude is weird!! From the lyrics to the beats Danny! is just different. Image Lupe's flow (Not lyrical style or ability...just vocal tone) over the theme show to The Cosby's. That's what ya boy here is..at least this time around. Very eclectic. He's released mixtapes in the past and just put out his album Where Is Danny? for the FRRLLEEEEEEEE. Check it out!

The people or person over at Blindiforthekids keeps it rockin! Some of the songs may be pure foolywang, but there's always something on there that you like. Get some electro or something in your life. Who knows what the Eclecticuts are this time around. Besides this one looks safe..it has "the folks" on the front and back cover plus it's short and sweet with only 10 tracks.

  Last FM interviews Rakim (Part I)

If you haven't heard the news legendary rapper Rakim is gearing up to blaze the scene yet again. Honestly I don't remember hip-hop when he was shutting it down, but it's inscribed to just know that he was. Now the 80's babies can re-witness what everyone was buzzing about...maybe. Seventh Seal is Rakim's first album in 10 years..that's IF it drops before the fourth quarter is over. When the single and album drops expect greatness people.

  Sheek Louch - Everyday

In my opinion The Lox are one of the best hip-hop groups in the game. Period. Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch individually are solid MC's. They're all still here doing their thizzles and the latest from Louch surfaced last week. The track "Everyday" was produced by Pete Rock so you already know it's stamped. This song takes me back to when I used to listen to "On the Road Again" every Tuesday and Thursday on my way to class...wait that was last year. Anyway, check it out.

I guess "Empire State of Mind" has that "A Milli" factor. I'm guessing by the end of next month there will be 50 more remixes of Jay's song reppin everything from cities to streets. Trina is the third artist I've heard twist the song up and pay homage to a stomping ground different than NY. Check out what Trina, Mona Lisa and some other feez (females) had to say about the 305.

  Flux Friday-The Sims: Building Music

Call me weird, but if you do know that there's lots of other people who agree with what I'm saying. The original Sims game has some of the most mellow and emotional tunes you will ever hear. Not when your sims are running around in the house peeing on themselves in the living room. Not when you're selecting cheap furniture nor when you're creating a family. It's in the building mode when the mysterious music comes on that gets you hooked to the game. They say classical music helps you think and what is the most complicated thing to ponder about in this game? Building the biggest craziest house with the money that you got from the cheat code. All jokes aside the music really is wonderful in my opinion. If "Building Mode" 2, 4 or 5 happened to come on in your ipod you would think that you'd stepped into an auditorium where someone was composing a theatrical score. No ampin' included. The songs in The Sims 1 were written by Jerry Martin and Marc Russo, but never released separately. That's why we always went running back to the game, not only for the chance to live in the world you always wanted but to hear a few songs that would take you there (No Donnie Klang).

  Young Dro ft Young LA-I Don't Know Y'all

The latest video from Young Dro "I Don't Know Y'all" happens to be so hood I was compelled to put an image of a corner store INSTEAD of him...I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's kind of a mini movie and the graphics are super dope, but this one isn't bleeped out and there's like 28 + KIDS giggin'....IDK about that. On top of that there's a rusty lady acting like Michael Jackson for split second and a drunk man squirming in the street...hmmmmm.

I'll admit that the song is still growing on me, but the black and white video gave it a big push. It's a pretty dope concept. I like how they didn't over do it and take away from the song. Also, it's good to see Rihanna back. I'm guessing that this album is going to be on a whole 'nother level...being that it's rated R and all....Check out the video for "Wait Your Turn." People...the wait is ova!!
