FULL, CDQ, Track over J. Cole's "Blow Up" *Tibs Fav.™

 

S-Preme rips through another new freestyle - this one over J. Cole's "Blow Up" as Preme continues to drop clever bars while experimenting with variating delivery. The highlight of the freestyle is the verse post-2 minute mark as Preme puts out some thoughts on the hip hop game and his current, overlooked status. I think it's safe to say that said status will soon need a change, Facebook style. I can definitely rock with Preme's recent freestyles while we wait for the premiere of "SpitFire" off the upcoming project, S-Prodigy, due for release on Le Messie's FALSE brand this October. If you still haven't seen the video trailer for "SpitFire", directed by GWHH's own Maks G, then click here!

 

Down below, the new downloads continue with a lackluster batch of hip hop and R&B, given that there are no remaining favs, but there are some solid tracks to add to your library. NEW Diggy Simmons & Boi-1da (shouts 2 HHC), Beanie Sigel (shouts 2 UHTN), Snoop Dogg, Ne-Yo, Pitbull & T-Pain, and more can be had below. Enjoy!

FULL, CDQ, 1st Single off upcoming album, Red Blue Green Gold *Tibs Fav.™

 

The Five One quickly follow up the audio release of their new single "Mandatory" with a striking visual to match. The positive vibe of the song is emitted through the group's colorful style, which is illustrated through their clothing and even rooms. Looks like Red is the only group member with a special guest, heh heh. Anyway, the colors preach that repetition's mandatory with the new single, which couldn't be further from the truth. The video is an entertaining, well-produced watch that gives some face time to the colors and we only look forward to more as the DMV group preps for their upcoming album titled, what else, Red Blue Green Gold. 

 

Down below, the videos continue with a trio of miscellenious items. It's "hip hop woodstock" in Detroit tonight as Eminem is headlining a show that, oh by the way, also features Jay-Z and B.o.B as openers (and I would bet even more surprise guests). Take a look at a sneak peak of Jay-Z's soundcheck below, along with a couple more videos featuring Snoop Dogg on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and Ryan Leslie's recent shoot for Vogue (good look for the fashionable singer, no?). Enjoy!

UPDATED w/ NO Tags (shouts 2 YK2)

 

NEW Trey Songz & Drake is the next big collab to earn the solo feature atop GWHH as "The Usual" will be appearing on the former's upcoming album, Passion, Pain, & Pleasure due out 09.14. "The Usual" is interesting for being a sexually themed track where both artists express their bravado, not over a typical slow jam bedroom beat, but rather on a more upbeat production. The song didn't blow me away at first but after subsequent listens I like it more and more and think it will continue to grow on me. It's slightly below a couple of collabs the two have come up with in the past ("Successful", for example), but this is a solid joint in its own right. Can't tell if this will blow up on the radio or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's pushed and charts. I'm expecting an untagged version soon so look for an update if that's indeed the case (shouts 2 HHC). Download the tagged untagged above for now and vote in our poll below. Enjoy!

P.S. Isn't that kind of a funny, old picture of Trey Songz & Drake?

Pugs Atomz & Grant Parks drop a dope and humorous visual to lead all visuals this morning for their song "Stereo" off the Kinda Like A Rapper album. I dig the old-school TV style skit and presentation, complete with cheesy graphics, and this simple, yet well-executed vido is entertaining from beginning to end. If they wanted to make it really funny, i would have voted for a Jay & Silent Bob spin off; Grant Parks is already a man of few words in the video, haha. Anyway, round the 2:45 mark begins my favorite references in the song which were brought out well in the video so make sure to keep close attention to that (starting with the Chicago flags on their video game characters). There's a lot of creativity on the "Stereo" vid (Tito G's second featured video of the week), which raises my feelings on the song itself. So peep this one above before moving on to a trio of more video premieres below.

 

They include a Chicago collab from Na Palm & Kaye Fox, who shoot some raw footage rehearsing the song in the studio for their video, Big Boi & Yelawolf, and Kevin Rudolf & Flo Rida's latest pop joint. I kinda wish Nay and Kaye extended the creativity more on their visual; the song is already pretty concept-driven so why not bring that out to the fullest? Still, some cool to footage to see regardless. Meanwhile, the news broke late last night that T.I. and his new wife Tiny got busted on a felony charge for possession. Rumors indicate it was for meth, ecstasy, and sizzurp. *shakes head* As a fan of Tip, I hope this is some big misunderstanding, but if all or some rumors prove to be true, what the hell are you thinking? Not only did you just come back from prison, you did the media circus, the acting and music career continues, and you have a new family. Ugh. More info in the bonus links. Enjoy!

FULL, CDQ, Rumored track off upcoming album, All About You

 

Jeremih's 2nd new (rumored) single in less than a week and it's another potential party hit called... err... "We Like To Party" (shouts 2 splash). As you can sense, the song does indeed follow the theme indicative of the title, and while it is pretty well-executed, "We Like To Party" is another song for the masses that leaves me wanting more. We know he is capable of more concept/story-driven records as he illustrated on some of his debut album's non-singles but so far, there hasn't been any sign of that for the sophomore effort, All About You. That being said, we still have a small sampling to work with so we of course have to reserve judgment until we hear the whole project (on 09.28). I'm confident he'll come through with a complete album so to me, it's just a matter of time.

 

Down below, we got a quick hit batch of bonus links and videos to pursue. Remember to always check the bonus links for your batch of news tidbits and in this case, videos that autoplay when embedded. The latter has been the case with all of the full episode recaps from BET for Trey Songz' docu-series 'My Moment' so be sure to hit that link to catch the season (series?) finale. I've loved what I have seen so far from 'My Moment' and hope there's more to come (or at least BET continues the concept with another fast-rising artist). Videos include John Legend providing thoughts on the mosque at Ground Zero controversy, a premiere from Murs & 9th Wonder, and a couple more intervies with Wiz Khalifa and Bobby Valentino. Enjoy!

A refreshing video above leads another new music update this afternoon as some unreleased footage of Kanye West's surprise, impromptu Late Registration listening party in 2005 in Chicago. 'Ye played the album alongside other guests in attendance: Lupe Fiasco, Really Doe, No I.D., Shawnna, and a host of others. The unreleased clip above depicts what went on that night as 'Ye and Lupe even shared the stage to vibe out to "Touch The Sky". Let's hope that 'Ye has the inspiration to do somethin' similar back home for his album in 2010?! *crosses fingers*(shouts 2 Andrew via Boogz).

 

The Chicago flavor continues with a trio of tracks featuring up and comers R.O.E. who pays homage to A Tribe Called Quest and Gerald Walker who rocks over a J. Dilla instrumental. A dope Freddie Gibbs verse unfortunately doesn't do enough to carry his new collab to likable status overall, but you should check that out as well. Finally, in a trio of videos, peep a well-directed video commercial for Twista's upcoming album, The Perfect Storm (due out 10.26), an interview with DJ Toomp, and some behind the scenes with Asher Roth. Enjoy!

Producer: J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League - FULL, CDQ, Tagged, Track off upcoming album, King Uncaged

 

UPDATED NO Tags (shouts 2 2db)... 7+ min. long and it makes a difference.

 

Taking the lead on this new update of downloads is the next street single from King Uncaged, T.I.'s "Pledge Allegiance To The Swag" f/ Rick Ross. Recently, T.I. confirmed to MTV the big collab, bolstered by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League behind the boards. However, it falls short for me, starting with the theme of the record, as indicative in the title. T.I. comes correct on his flow as he does 99% of the time, but I lost interest in the track fairly quickly, and then for good once Rick Ross kept obnoxiously exclaiming 'Rozay' three straight times in a row before starting his verse. This one's not for me, but it will definitely earn some fans who ride with every gritty, street single from the two rappers. Download above and see for yourself.

 

YMHD continues their release of exclusives from the Lime Light Exclusives 3 mixtape with more new tracks available below from Kid Cudi (a potential grower), Cam'Ron & Jim Jones, and Rick Ross & Jadakiss once again. Lastly, the tagless Wiz Khalifa single from last night rounds out the quick-hit post as "Black & Yellow" is quickly becoming a song that I appreciate the more and more I listen to it. Enjoy!

B.o.B is the latest artist to appear on MTV's famous Unplugged concert series and he brought out all the ammunition for his six-song performance as you notice above: Melanie Fiona joins B.o.B for "Airplanes" and Robin Thicke subs in for Bruno Mars on the "Nothin' On You" performance. Intrigued by the new features? I was too and they both delivered on B.o.B's biggest singles to date. After the jump, check out the other four videos of "Don't Let Me Fall", "Magic", the dope, maybe slept on "Letters From Vietnam", and "The Kids" f/ Janelle Monáe. Note that "Airplanes" and "Nothin' On You" were third and fourth in the set list but I highlighted them on top above. If you got some time, watch the entire concert as B.o.B definitely holds it down with his acoustic guitar, one of his many musical talents if you don't know already. Enjoy!

 

 

Above is some brand new in-studio footage of John Legend & The Roots recording their spin on the Bill Withers 1973 record "I Can't Write Left Handed". Their version is presumably going to appear on the upcoming collaborative album, Wake Up!, due out just around the corner on September 21st. The video itself (shouts 2 yardie) showcases the artists from awesome close-up angles and the performance itself has a series of rises and falls that make for an entertaining composition altogether. Legend makes for the performances' best moments with his vocals on the build up and I look forward to the final product of "I Can't Write Left Handed". Speaking of which, I can't write left handed; I'm a righty. Ok, moving on...

 

Down below, download a couple tracks with the first being from Chicago rapper Chu featuring Jazze Pha & Too Short and the latter being a remix of "Deuces" by Maino (shouts 2 splash). Also enjoy a quartet of videos including Cee-Lo's "F*** You" premiere, and Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, and Wiz Khalifa. Gotta hand it to Cee-Lo; he's got a lotta people talkin' with that song title and that'll only increase now that the video has followed shortly thereafter. And finally, enjoy a small gallery of photos - two of which were taken from the set of Kanye West's 'movie to coincide with the album', being shot in Prague (on the short list of cities I want to visit), another two of some new album covers of Bruno Mars and Faith Evans' upcoming compact discs, and another two of T.I. covering Upscale Magazine (how do you cover two months in a row?). Enjoy!
