Codizzle-The Internet Vs. The Machine mixtape

My homie Codizzle has been holding it down for awhile now and deserves the spotlight. This tape should do it for him. It's dope and features some crazy verses and beats mixed in with a Transformers type theme.

December 17, 2009

Jay Electronica- Exhibit C

Um, yeah this track is insane. Just Blaze's beat on Exhibit C is crazy, and of course Jay Elect's rhymes are just amazing. Support good music, buy the tracks. And if you've never heard of Jay Electronica, download this and you will learn.

Iron Man 2 movie trailer

The sequel looks like it will easily top the first with more high quality actors and enemies.

December 15, 2009

Lil Wayne- Drop The World (ft. Eminem)

This record is insane. Lil Wayne finally got his wish to be on a track alone with Eminem (Forever didn't count) and it comes correct. Produced by Chase N. Cashe, look out for them in 2010.

December 13, 2009

Young Jeezy- Money To Blow Remix

Young Jeezy has been killing beats as of late. This time he goes over Birdman's Money To Blow and replaces Drake's verse. As a bonus I added the track where he goes over Trey Songz' Say Ahh.

Wale & J. Cole - Beautiful Bliss Live

One of my favorite tracks right here. They both kill it. I remember seeing both of them perform at Penn State on the BP3 tour and it was amazing.

Idle Warship- Bedroom Lites music video


Amazing video from an awesome group of artists. Talib Kweli really takes everything to another level.

Lil Wayne- Da Da Da

This is the second single trying to be pushed for Lil Wayne's Rebirth. These tracks really aren't doing it for me, I was expecting a lot more. Maybe the Eminem and Wayne collabo will though.

December 3, 2009

Lil Wayne - On Fire

This is the new single from Lil Wayne for his rock/rap/whatever album Rebirth. The track is dope, which is produced by Cool N Dre and samples this song. I recognized it right away because it was on the Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack and of course the Scarface soundtrack. Thanks Splash.

Clipse- Popular Demand (Popeyes) music video

I could go for some Popeyes right now. On another note this track is sick and Rik Cordero did it correct for Clipse and Cam'Ron.

November 13, 2009

Some new Yeezy? Not exactly sure if it is or if it's some just throwaway but it's surfaced on Big Mike & DJ Thoro’s new Follow the Leaders 2 mixtape.

Lil Wayne's Rebirth Coming December 15th

Billboard confirms that Lil Wayne's upcoming album Rebirth will be packaged with the Young Money album.
After much delay, Lil Wayne's highly-anticipated rock album, "Rebirth," is now slated for a Dec. 15 release date according to the Universal Music Group website. The set will be packaged as a dual-disc along with the Young Money collective, "We Are Young Money."

Originally scheduled for April 7, the first single off the set titled "Prom Queen," produced by Infamous and Andrew "Drew" Correa, reached no. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. Second single "Hot Revolver" debuted at No. 33 on the same tally.

In addition to Infamous and Correa, producers Cool and Dre and Develop also have tracks on "Rebirth," while Fall Out Boy is featured. The latter comes after their first collaboration on Fall Out Boy's 2008 release, "Folie Ă  Deux." Lenny Kravitz, Travis Barker and Young Money/Cash Money artist Drake also appear on the set.

Although the album is mostly rock inspired, with Lil Wayne playing guitar on most of the tracks, the leaked song, "Fix My Hat," produced by Drew Money, is one of the few rap tracks that made it onto the "Rebirth" set.

In related news, the new Mary J. Blige album, "Stronger," is due out Dec. 22, while the new Redman album, "9 1/2," is confirmed for a Dec. 15 release date from Def Jam, according to the Universal Music Group website.

Tom Hanks sings Single Ladies

Tom Hanks does his rendition of Beyonce's 'damn good song'. All I gotta say is stick to acting.

A little promotional video for Kanye's book from his excursions on the Glow In The Dark Tour. The video is awesome and the pictures look to be just as good.

Drake Performing With Jay-Z

Drake is set to make his return to performing after having knee surgery. What better way to do this than to perform in his home town Toronto with Jay-Z.

Toronto fans are in for a Halloween treat when Jay-Z brings out Drake for his first performance since undergoing surgery.

The “Best I Ever Had” rapper, who has been absent from the spotlight after his September knee surgery, will join Jay-Z on stage at the Air Canada Centre in his hometown tonight during The Blueprint 3 tour with supporting acts N.E.R.D., Wale, and J. Cole.

“This weekend is gonna be my first time back on stage,” Drizzy tells Rap-Up.com. “I’m performing with Jay-Z when he comes to Toronto. This will be my first time back out there. I’m kinda like nervous/excited.”

When asked if he would perform “Off That,” his collaboration with Hov from The Blueprint 3, he responded, “No, I don’t think so.” Instead he revealed that he will perform his own single. “I’m actually performing ‘Successful.’”

Via Rap-Up.

New Lupe Fiasco Mixtape Coming

Apparently Lupe feels he's not as relevant as he used to be so he has taken it upon himself to come up with a new mixtape. He plans to continue his Fahrenheit 1/15 series. Is he getting on his Lil Wayne No Ceilings thing, just killing beats?
"Not a diss of the list...knew I wasn't gonna make it ha!...but I'm using the fact that I wasn't on it as an excuse to just start wrecking shit on a frequent basis so by the time the next one comes out I'll be number 1,2,3,4 and 5..." Lupe Fiasco
You can get parts 1-3 here to catch up.

Jay-Z- Empire State Of Mind music video


All I gotta say is Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Hype Williams, and New York City.

Wale- Beautiful Bliss (ft. Melanie Fiona & J. Cole)

I was having a bad day until I found this. What an amazing track from a group of Roc Nation artists. Wale brings J. Cole for a crazy verse and the beautiful Melanie Fiona on the hook. Produced by Mark Ronson and DJ Green Lantern and is off the Attention: Deficit album that apparently leaked from what I've heard.

Hip Hop Official Interview w/ Mike Posner Pt. 1

If you haven't noticed already, I've become a pretty big fan of Mike Posner. His music is just dope with the produced and the singing combined.

Timbaland- Carry Out (ft. Justin Timberlake)

We have yet another track from the leaky faucet that is Timbaland's Shock Value II. He gets together with Justin Timberlake to create the magic they have always made. On another note, the album has been pushed back to December 8th instead of November 23rd.

Usher- Daddy's Home X More

Usher has been dropping some hot music like these two new tracks. The first is produced by The Runners and the second is produced by RedOne. They possibly might be tracks off his upcoming album Raymond Vs. Raymond.

A snippet of this leaked a few days ago but here is the full version. It's produced by Jim Jonsin. I feel this should have been a single instead of the other tracks that came out yesterday.

Gucci Mane- Wasted Remix (ft. Lil Wayne, Jadakiss & Birdman)

Gucci Mane brings along Lil Wayne, Jadakiss, and Birdman for the remix to his latest single off his upcoming album The State Vs. Radric Davis. Kiss definitely kills it the most.

Lil Wayne- I'm Goin In (Full)

Instead of having verses from Drake and Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne decides to take all 3. You can't be make at that though.

Ludacris & Shawnna - How Low

Ludacris premiered this track at the BET Hip Hop Awards but here goes the album version for Battle Of The Sexes. It's supposedly the first single from it. He rips the beat as always with Shawnna just on the bridge.

Game- Krazy (ft. Gucci Mane & Timbaland)

Screw that video below, here goes the CDQ version of the track. Your thoughts?

Game- Krazy (ft. Gucci Mane & Timbaland)

Game just put up this video for his street single for his R.E.D. Album. It features Gucci Mane and Timbaland, which is kinda a weird combination to me.

Just what I wanted to make this day even better, a new track from J. Cole. I need some more from this dude because every cut I hear from him is fire. You know Karen got that connect.

KiD CuDi Talks new album Cudder

KiD CuDi is working on his next album which will be a compilation. He says Snoop Dogg, Clipse, and Robin Thicke will be on it. He also hopes to get Green Day and Kings Of Leon on it too. It's gonna be a dope album.

Alicia Keys- Sleeping With A Broken Heart

Alicia Keys brings us this banger of a track off her next album. It's a big song for her and I can see it getting turns on the radio. It's produced by Jeff Bhasker, the genius behind some Kanye West and KiD CuDi tracks.
