Kendrick Lamar Signing
Kendrick Lamar may have just replaced one of the emcees on my personal favorite top 5 current emcee list. Fuck Gucci, but the two J. Cole tracks are amazing! If these two ever make a project together, it will destroy Watch the Thrown (Jay-Z and Kanye). Ok, maybe not, but those two better watch out or the real hip hop thrown may just be swooped.
Hieroglyphics - Reputation
So some new Hiero just dropped... This new song is cool but it didn't catch my attention too much. What did was the fact that I grew up on this crew. I kept wondering what song I would post as the bonus for the new single? BUT... there are too many favorites that I felt like just dropping both of their classic albums. Fuck it! It's not like you'll go out and purchase them anyways. Music labels sue me! Enjoy, true music fans!

Must Have Music: DJ Jazzy Jeff - For Da Love Of Da Game & Run That Back
You know i gotta' hit you with that fresh prince of ball air flow. Two of my favorite tracks off Jazzy Jeff's only two studio albums; The Magnificent (2004) and Return of the Magnificent (2007). Although I've never heard any of these rappers spit on anything else but Jef'f's wheels of steel, i'll give them credit for making some hip hop classics.
Download For Da Love Of Da Game
Download Run That Back
PS: For Da Love Of Da Game knows exactly why i'm spittin' for... I LOVE HIP HOP!!!

Panty Droppers: Raheem Devaughn - Woman

Must Have Music: Eligh & Jo Wilkinson - Honor Me ft. Pigeon John
Very few artists can do what Eligh did here. Not only did he make an amazing song, but he made it with the help of his mother, Jo Wilkinson. Off their collaboration album, On Sacred Ground: Mother and Son (2009).
Download Honor Me ft. Pigeon John
Detox Release Date
After over a decade of let downs and disappointed fans, the album we've all been waiting for will finally arrive on April 20, 2011 (Of course). Dre, don't let us down!
Good sign: the first single knocks!
Schoolboy Q - F*ck Ya Hip Hop!!! Ft. Rapper Big Pooh & Murs
This was suppose to be another single for Setbacks but when I got the actual project, it wasn't on it. I guess it's the non-Itunes bonus track. F*ck ya digital downloads!!!
Top Dog Entertainment is on a roll.
Mayday - Highs & Lows ft. Ace Hood
I haven't heard anything from this guy since his self-titled debut in 2006. Good to know his music is still up to par.
Download Highs & Lows ft. Ace Hood
Bonus: Groundhog Day (ft. Cee-Lo) (Mayday 2006)
Killer Mike - Burn
Some more of that "fight the power" hip hop. In related news, Killer Mike and El-P (from Company Flow) are working on a project together. Now that's going to be a piece of work unlike anything done before.

TiRon - What You Waiting For ft Ayomari
Another one of my favorite new artists dishing out some new material. Got my fingers crossed in hope that XXL gives him the credit he deserves this year.

Kanye West & Jay Z - H.A.M.
Speaking about weekly series, Kanye and Jay's first single to Watch the Throne dropped today. Is iiiight... I feel the two "kings" of hip hop can do better.
Download H.A.M.
Phil Ade - Phillin' Em
Another emcee jumping on the weekly series bandwagon. Normally i don't support these, with Good Fridays being an exception (since Mr. West did come up with the idea). But since Phil Ade is one of my new favorite artist, i'll give the man the credit he deserves on dropping some clean shit.
Phil Ade Fridays! I know its monday but you try blogging in the middle of winter session with two jobs.
Must Have Music: Wale - Ice and Rain
Never found out where this single landed. I'm guessing it was suppose to be for Attention Deficit (2009) but you know how labels can be. Always ruining music... The story for this song still gives me the chills.

Kids These Days - Darling (Video)
