Ps: Next month looks pretty heavy with releases so stay tuned.

Pusha T - My God

Pusha T's (of Clipse) anticipated single for his up and coming mixtape, Fear of God. This track actually stirred up some controversy between him and Consequence. Don't really know if I agree with Cons on calling out his own G.O.O.D. teammate. Anyways, "My God" is definitely a worthy single.

OverDoz - Live For, Die For (Album)

I downloaded this free album earlier this month and it slowly, but surely, grew on me. By far the best project to come out this month. Overdoz is a south central (LA) trio who's style is unlike anything thats come out recently. They got that west coast G-funk feel and the mixtape features artists such as Kendrick, Dom Kennedy, and Skeme. Definitely looking forward to seeing some more Overdoz. HHS Certified!

Lupe Fiasco is Not Real Happy With Album

Ha! I called it... Poor Lupe doesn't feel great about his album which drops next month. His hit single "The Show Goes On" was pushed onto him by his label in order to reach the masses. It's sad that an artist this great is forced to put out work that he's not even a fan of. Fuck the mainstream if that's where these white guys in suites are going to take it. Record labels need to stop getting in the way of Emcees making true classic hip hop albums (not that Trill OG BS).

Check out what DX said, Lupe Fiasco Explains How Compromise Affected "Lasers"

But... We saw what happened to Rhymefest. He went independent because his label was pushing him around and El Che was a disaster.

J. Cole & B.o.B. In The Studio

Damn... I just got the chills. Bobby Ray and J. Cole in the studio for the third time? Can't wait!

2011 XXL Freshman

This year's XXL Freshman consists of Big K.R.I.T., CyHi Da Prynce, Diggy Simmons, Fred the Godson, Kendrick Lamar, Lil B, Lil Twist, Mac Miller, Meek Mill, YG and Yelawolf. Pretty damn disappointing... There's only a few on this year's list who actually deserve the recognition and career boost. To Phil Ade, XV, and TiRon: there's always next year.

Must Have Music: Kendrick Lamar - Opposites Attract (Tomorrow Without Her) (feat. Javonte)

I usually go with older and rare songs with these posts, but since I have been bumping Kendrick Lamar lately like no one's business, I thought I'd chose one of his songs thats on repeat for me. Kendrick doesn't "make black music and he doesn't make white music; he makes everyday life music". In this song, he takes the roll of the abusive boy friend who disrespects his girl friend and for some reason cannot fall for the girl who gives him everything. He then switches rolls and tells the story through the girls side who can't understand the nature of her asshole boyfriend. Hence the song title: Opposites Attract.

Lupe Fiasco - Words I Never Said

This track is way overdue. Lupe Fiasco spits some shit he should have never spit if he ever wants to get on good terms with his label. Fuck the system! Lasers hits the shelves next month.

Spree Wilson - Transition f. Novel

This has to be the first song from Spree Wilson that I have ever liked. I heard about the rapper over a year ago but was never too impressed with his work. I love how the song starts off, but as it goes on I start to pick it apart. I don’t start to dislike the song, there’s just several things I feel could be different. But enough with the negative feedback; Spree Wilson has proven to me he’s got a shot in Hip Hop.

Fashawn - Higher Learning 2 (Mixtape)

Fashawn's 10th mixtape! The young emcee is putting in work but I don't know if I prefer quantity over quality. I feel a second studio album is overdue for the freshman. Enough with these shitty sounding mixtapes. But don't get me wrong, still a decent mixtape.

Scienze - Hall Pass
