JIM JONES “BLOW YOUR SMOKE”

New offering from the Dip Set capo.  A bit on the slow side when club records seem to be the way to go right now.  Make no mistake Harlem is on the rise with Vado bubbling as a new up and comer, the Dip Set reunion coming soon as well as Cam’ron making noise again so stay tuned…

WAKA FLOCKA FLAMES “BUSTIN AT EM”

Love him or hate him he ain’t goin nowhere soon.  With Lex Luger on the production making bangers like this it makes it easy for Waka to come up with a catchy hook and keep it simple.  This guy is no Nas on the mic and he’ll be the first to admit it so say what you want–he has made a string of catchy street anthems and is showing no signs of slowing down look out for the album in stores this week.

Here’s what  the listeners said:

FREEWAY “BEAUTIFUL MUSIC”

First offering from his follow-up to the acclaimed “Stimulus Project” collab with beatsmith Jake One.  Free and Jake are back at it for round two.  Props to  Freeway reinventing himself as an artist from the ashes Roc-A-Fella and stepping out on his own with a new style, new sound, and new fans.

Here’s what  the listeners said:

YOUNG JEEZY “RAP GAME”

New Shawty Red produced banger from the upcoming TM103.  A sinister track is the perfect backdrop for Jeezy.  The real question when is TM103 coming out?   First “All White Everything”, then “Jizzle” now this but nothing concrete in terms of the album.  Has to make you wonder what the plan is.

SKYZOO “SPEAKERS ON BLAST”

Brooklyn MC has been on his grind for quite awhile now and his new album with producer Ill Mind on Duck Down Records is getting some exposure and radio support via “Speakers…” he’s not had before.  Just in time as “Live Form The Tape Deck” hits stores this week.  A testament to staying on your grind and slowly developing your fan base and your work will start to get noticed.
