In The Rotation....

Lucifer's Joyride - Kidz In The Hall feat. Travis McCoy
I don't care about who not feeling this song. Its hot and got that summer time vibe to it. I love it. Travis' verse is funny & I love Nalegde's verse.


Dope (4 Gold Rope) - Sene & Blu
Can't wait for their album to drop. But this is a little preview of what it might be like tho Blu prolly won't rap that much on it. But who knows with him.


Where You Goin? - Danny!
A Tribe Called Quest on Acid indeed. You can clearly see the influences of Tribe in Danny's production, rhymes & concepts. Song got a real smooth vibe.


There You Go - Kooley High
I continue to sing the praises of Kooley High. They are truly fly & dope. I'm still bumping their EP. Hope to hear something official like an album soon.


The Understanding - J-Live
See don't believe how good this album is. J-Live spitting over some dope production and completely destroys it.


The Bridge - Tanya Morgan feat. Elucid
The opener & title track for Tanya Morgan's newest EP, The Bridge is perhaps one of their best songs. Showing the growth from Moonlighting to now. Still don't know where Elucid is on this song.



Free - Pharoahe Monch
Old song but still a banger from Desire. People gave it bad reviews cause it was a different Monch they didn't like. While I like the album and Monch didn't completely flush his style down the toilet. But its a perfect mix.

Bassment Party - The Cool Kids
Still disappointed that only two song off their new EP were new. I'm feeling this one as it has a Neptune type vibe to it.


Good Money - Mickey Factz
Wtf? Mickey with 9th? Surprising but Factz is very diverse in styles. Dude continues to impress me.


Customer - Raheem DeVaughn
Congrats to Raheem for his mainstream success. I love the chorus and the verse are great. Great song so peep it.



Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Well I am very diverse in what I listen to and I'm definitely feeling this new single by Coldplay.
Coldplay – Viva La Vida

Sincerely, Jane - Janelle Monae
When the hell is Suite 2 coming out? Well I'm still bumping Suite 1 and been interested in Monae since Call The Law off Idlewild.


You Are - Estelle feat. John Legend
After a impressive performance on Kidz In The Hall's Love Hangover I had to peep Estelle. This is my favorite song off her new album.


ALSO
If even anybody would be kind enough to bless me with some music from Czelena. I peep'd her myspace I like her style.

In The Rotation

Water - Kooley High ft. Lazurus & Edgar Allen Floe
The highlight of the Summer Sessions EP tops & begins my list...This song is classic 9th seriously. This rekindled my love for 9th's soulful production. The stratches made the song even stronger by introducing the artist with sample. Shit is just crazy. Also make sure to check out Kooley High because they are the future.

Be Like - M1 Platoon ft. Carlitta Durand
Another one of 9th's finding is outta DC, M1 Platoon. Them dude be hype as fuck. The mostable is Snoopay & Big Chopps but all 5 MCs are good. They have their own sort of style, not trying to beat LB or follow their footsteps. Would be dope to see a LB/M1 collabo. That would be hype. Another this track feature the one and only Carlitta Durand with the singing & 9th on the boards.

Can You Hear Me - Astonish
The self proclaimed"Rookie Of The Year" gave us great reason to co-sign that. Astonish delivers a marvelous performance on this song and his new EP called For Now Until Forever. This song touches many subject. Astonish speaks on grown men doing the chicken noodle soup and what has radio hip hop gone to. Very brave for a newcomer especially as his single.

You Should Know - Tanya Morgan ft. Naledge
TM City! really shined with their newest release, Tanya Morgan Is A Rap Group mixtape. The most anticapated song least in my mind on that project is the Naledge assisted, You Should Know. "You think you know but have no idea/ we're talking cheaper then a bed from IKEA"
Nalegde puts down a great verse though he could have done better. Anyway Donwill & Von Pea give great spits as well.

Do You - Danny!
I'm not a fan of Danny's lyrical performance though it is getting better but his production is top notch. And this song is example of that. The hook is extremely catchy. Its totally abstract & soulful in it's own way. Watch out for Danny's new album, And I Love HER.

Barbershop - Murs & 9th Wonder ft. Big Pooh
My fade stay tight. But anyway this is perhaps my favorite song of Murray's Revenge or off any Murs LP. Pooh did it top notch & Murs entertained with his witty punchlines. This song is the shit so check it.

I Must Love You - Guilty Simpson
It was so hard picking a single song off Guilty's new LP. But that shit is bumping. After a few more listens and gettin adjusted. It might be the album of the year. Anyway this song speaks to Maliz. I felt like this a multiple occasion. Anyway everything from the hook to the verses to the concept is nice about this song. So big upps to Guilty for dropping a gem.

Who's That? - LMNO & Kev Brown
The single of LMNO & Kev Brown's new LP, Selective Hearing. Another gem that dropped last tuesday. I liked the video & loved the song. Kev put down some souldful heat on this LP. And surprisingly LMNO rode the beats perfectly. He finally is showing some lyrical growth.

Paper - Pacific Division ft. TiRon
I dont know much about Pac Div as of yet. I just know this song is hot. Another song talking bout a gold digging women. They impressed me with this song and probably the reason I've been check all they got on they myspace. Anyway check the video of this song on the previous post & stay tuned because your sure to hear more from Pac Div.

Love & Revolution (S.Raw remix) - Silent Knight
The artist who crafted the 3rd best underground album of the year in my opinion dropped another album in 08 with remixes of exclusive and songs off his debut Hunger Strike.
Silent Knight is another underrated, unheard of MC that deserves shine.

In The Rotation

Naledge vs. Factz - Naledge & Mickey Facts
One Of Mickey's weekly drop as he quote this month as the Collabo month. Well This track is great and has that old school trading verses thing going on with it. Nalegde is increasing on my MC list. Dude is so nice & slept on as one. And Mickey Factz is a new to me and to my iPod. Well after hearing his mixtape & a couple of his previous leaks. Dude is dope. I think if he put out a real project he'll be solidified in my list tho Heaven's FallOut was great.

Gone With The Wind - Ohmega Watts
Ohmega Watts is a MC/Producer who released a self produced album last year called Watts Happening. Album was great and this is one of the highlights of that album. Gone With The Wind ended the album perfectly. Ohmega's encouraging words and a soulful beat made this my favorite song of that album. Ohmega Watts is a great artist. Don't sleep.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3977840-8d3

The Lights - Nicolay & Kay feat. Strange Fruit Project & Nicole Hurst
Some call this the broke man's Flashing Lights well I disagree. This song is better and Nicole & Kay's singing is soothing. As S1 & Myth contribute with great verse about how artist & stars in entertainment chase meaningless things as they get blind by their own passion for stardom (perhaps more stardom).

Blackout - Kidz In The Hall feat. DJ G I Joe
Bad new yesterday is that The In Crowd was pushed back. Good news is that the leaked the second track off the album. Earlier on their recent V-Day mixtape they had a snippet of the song. Now we can hear it in entirety. This song has a nice similarity to "Know The Ledge" and does it in a original sense. Again Naledge shows a another way he can flow as he spits a old school reminisce pattern.

Lost One - Lauryn Hill
You might win some but you just lost one. I miss Lauryn.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3977842-591

Screamin' - Idle Warship feat. MC Chris
The recent collab between Kweli & Res is dope. This song is kinda techno yet Hip Hop. This track will probably be featured on the upcoming Kweli & Mick Boogie mixtape that will drop this monday. Res is finally getting the hype she deserves.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3977967-458

Extra Extra - Jay Electronica
Madlib & Jay Electronica! I love Madlib as many know. But I'm just getting into Jay Elect. Dude is nice from what I've heard & listened to. This song is my favorite from him so far dude to many reason. But the main two are lyrics on point & production is amazing.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3977966-808

Down In The Dirty - Ludacris
Now you might have noticed that I didn't listen Rick Ross & Bun B. Well I simply like and bumped this song cause of Luda. Kinda getting back to his old roots. Which I hope he does on his next album.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3977843-c28

Hip Hop Nation - Channel Live feat. S5
KRS's Channel Live struck the underground spotlight with Madizm. They released their debut which I wasn't to fond of and now they ready their new album. Which if it follow suit of this song then it will be great. This song is also produced by Rawkus 50's Scanz. On this track they confess their love for Hip Hop and their favorite rappers/idols.

Endure (Oh No remix) - Georgia Anne Muldrow & Dudley Perkins feat. M.E.D. & Big Pooh
Exclusive track from GAM & DP's EP called "Someothaship (Connect Game) EP". This track is remix of the orginal track also on the EP but this one seems so much better. Probably the production from Oh No. The Chorus is of course sung by GAM. Pooh & MED spit great verses of endurance.

Through The Wind - Nicolay & Kay feat. Stokley Williams
So far, my favorite song from the LP I've been anticipating for a while. Time:Line lived up to the hype & surpassed my execptions. Last time i felt this way bout a album was when i first Pure(Buff1), Hunger Strike(Silent Knight) Of Gods & Girls(Mr. J) & Below The Heavens(Blu & Exile). My fav underground albums of 07 which i hold all at high esteem. So you know this song must have something special. Filled with metaphors, singing, similes & a essential concept. Stokley really put it down on this song. But the singing was outshined by Nicolay's prod which was outshined by Kay's lyricism.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3858680-6b3

My BoyBlu - Blu & Exile
Tho all the versions on the Net are of bad quality. This song is great & probably with time & mastering will be more liked than my fav Blu song, Blu Colla Workers. But classic Blu so nothing much to say except i hope he drops a mastered version of this song on a LP or EP. Keep it up Blu.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3858681-024

Momma Can You Hear Me? - Talib Kweli
This song means so much. Supposely leaked single of Kweli's upcoming album, Prison Of Conscious. Kweli praises his mom on this joint days after the Death Of Kanye's mom late last year. Maybe a tribute to Donda? Nevertheless this song is great. Kweli has alot of side projects beside his solo coming out so check for those.

Life Of The Party - Little Brother feat. Carlitta Durand
One of my favorite LB songs. Fun & soulful at the same time is hard for alot of artist. But LB does it so effortlessly as they description their experience with at club & the haters. Pretty Funny hopefully LB will drop something to soothe our pain from their MEH! 3rd album attempt.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3858734-eb6

Littlest Things - Kidz In The Hall feat. Lily Allen
I love Kidz In The Hall. Majority of the things they do are great. Publicly supporting Obama & his efforts. Droppin this Valetine mixtape is so un expected I don't think anyone saw it coming besides Naledge & Double-O. Well, I'm feeling the whole vibe of this song. Lily Allen is a great singer who doesn't get much praise. Major props & luv for her.

Boombox - (Radio) Raheem Jamal & Raydar Ellis
Boombox mafucka turn it up! The first song I heard from Raheem and was impressed. The scary thing is that this might be one of the weakest songs on his album respectively. So that means that his album is amazing. Seriously ppl that praise Lupe, Blu & etc...sleep on this album. Kinda sad but hopefully I'll change that soon.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3858730-a50

Saved- Saigon & Joe Scudda
I'll tell ya now! The main reason i like this song is the Snoop Dogg sample. Those the verse arent that bad. I expected better from both Joe & Sai but decent effort at the least. Anyway the concept of the song is great. The hook is my favorite part and the most appealing. The Background humming through out the song gives it a soulful feel.

Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You - Lauryn Hill
The bonus joint off Lauryn's classic album is possibly my favorite. The whole soulful feel of it just touches my heart every listen. I could imagine this song being performed in concert. I has a awesome vibe. I love it.
http://www.divshare.com/download/3858732-145

Iron Galaxy - Cannibal Ox
Classic! Majority of the people in America have heard this song. Either in a movie, Video game or TV. This song is lyrically potent & the production from El-P is phenomenal. To me there is no weak part of the song. Seriously Classic!
http://www.divshare.com/download/3858733-3b8

The Light - CunninLynguists ft. Club Dub
So soulful this song is. Though its most background singing and live instrumentals. It makes you sing along as they say "If You wanna be heal then you have to reveal the truth". Great message i think. Then about half way through Natti solidifies the song and his membership in CunninLynguists. Production is top notch as usually with Kno.

And You Say - Tanya Morgan feat. Che Grande
This track is great. That new School hype with some old school funk. This joint is classic in my eyes when speaking about Tanya Morgan. Everyone delivers a great verse with the most noticable being Von Pea's. This joint is produced by Von Pea himself.

Powershift - Median
Median is probably one of the most unique artist to be revealed from the NC. Lyrically he can easily hang with Phonte but he has his own style that is kinda indescribable. But even with the loss of words for Median you can still call him dope. Dude's album is equally as dope. Every track had its own meaning & message. Powershift is my favorite track of his lastest release. To me symbolizing the shift of hip hop music's aim from its current money hungry ways to its orignal meaning as the art of the people that loved & crafted it.

Rise - Strange Fruit Project feat. Little Brother
I never realized how great this song and the album it belongs to was till recently...The production is great with all credits going to S1 of course. Big Pooh & Phonte share a verse basically as they deliver a little miracle in the form of words to the song. The hook is catchy, soulful & Brilliant. Hell its a brillant song in general. Expect to hear some ol Maliz promotion of SFP soon especially since reppin my home state.TEXAS STAND UP!
http://www.divshare.com/download/3741427-049

The Listening - Little Brother
Phonte was right. I'm still teething on "The Listening". But I wouldn't dare bite the Incredible LB. They show exactly why i love them and why they have and will most likely be my favorite group/duo. They delivered raw rhymes, a great beat from 9th & humor. Classic LB shit. What more can you ask from them. Have listened to The Listening & The Minstrel Show makes you appreciate their lastest release "Getback" more and more. This joint is again classic LB...peep it

Tight Eyes - Nicolay & Kay feat. Oh No & The Luv Bugz
Dem Damb Jackson! (=Kay & Oh No, real group btw) Anyway this duo of Texas's Kay & Nicolay of Foreign Exchange is unbelievable. After hearing the leak, it made my order to UGHH.com so much more appreciated. Ill have the physical copy by friday & ill order the Bonus track from iTunes. Anyway this song is the one i had stuck in my head since. RSVP blah blah blah.. lol i just mumble the words but great performance from Kay & Luv Bugz while i've heard better from one of my fav MC/Producer Oh No. And remarkable job from Nicolay as usual.

Move On Up - Kidz In The Hall feat. Mike Payne
Kidz In The Hall are bringing the whole MC/DJ group back to its former fame. Not to diss other MC/DJ joints & etc...but great vibes from Kidz In The Hall. This joint absolutely inspiring. The hook is great. The Lyrical are amazing.Not Much to say especially with a new LP on the horizon. Hope they don't suffer from the Sophomore slump.

Sitting At The Bar - Tanya Morgan
TM having too new joints in the Top ten shows just how much i've been feeling this group. So many simiarities to LB but completly different if that makes any sense. I could probably say TM is my favorite Trio followed by Strange Fruit Project.

Q.U.E. Another E.N.S - Consequence
Now wft is a guy from Dallas feeling a track dedicated to Queens? Well its just that dope. They track is banging with tons of bass but not too much to overwhelm. Just the right amount. Really can't wait till Cons next release tho he just drop Dont Quit Your Job last year.

Sleep Walkers - Restoring Poetry In Music (Panacea)
This is maybe the dopest most slept on release of 2007. Seriously Panacea great constantly comparisons to The Roots and even more fitting now with their band having a album together but I think Panacea has their own style & only thing similar to the The Roots is that its all Hip Hop.

This is a surprise. I haven't listened to Chaundon's full debut yet but this song caught my eyes so i decided to play it for a little preview of what Chaun is spitting. Definitely no let down so far. So check out his debut & cop it when it releases.
