Rare 2Pac freestyle leads new music update
Let's keep things movin' with more 2Pac today; watch a rare freestyle from 1993 in D.C. as 2Pac, accompanied by Freddie Foxx, spits some raw rhymes to a raucous crowd. Hah, check out 2Pac at the 2:40 mark - classic. Freddie Foxx shouldn't get lost in the shuffle as well as the two pass the mic every minute or so. Man, it's crazy to see this footage now; I can only wonder what it'd be like to see 2Pac perform live. This video, while refreshing to see, only gives us a small taste (shouts 2 RR.. happy 1-year!).
Down below is a mess of new tracks featuring a variety of hip hop and R&B. Nick-N-Beans link up with fellow Chicagoan Max Payne for their new single that certainly has some growth potential. QBeans kills it with the beat and it's worth checkin' out just for that. In fact, I'ma be giving this update a few more listens as there's a lot of music that could grow heavily with me. That U-N-I/Bun B collab (shouts 2 2db), the Laws/9th Wonder record, and a couple of Lloyd's jams all hit me favorably right away. There's a lot to check out including a couple mixtapes from R&B singer London (shouts 2 YK2) and Bobby Creekwater. Finally, a trio of videos also features Bobby Creekwater, a performance of "Exhibit A" from Jay Elect and Mos Def, and a teaser of the new video from up and comer Kidd Russell. Enjoy!

Biggie and Tupac documentary
Today being the 13 year anniversary of the murder of the Notorious B.I.G., the online documentary film library, Snag Films, reached out to us with the free online screening of Nick Broomfield's award-winning documentary film, Biggie & Tupac. Simply hit the play button above to re-live the controversy surrounding the unsolved murders (hmmph..) of two of the biggest rap stars of the 90s. The documentary is fascinating right off the bat with footage from this fateful day 13 years ago. Broomfield continues to examine the duo's once strong friendship with interviews and even more rare footage setting up the table for his investigation of the slayings. If you got the time, this is definitely a must-watch film that is reflective, educational, and inspiring to once again remember and appreciate the two iconic stars. R.I.P. Biggie. R.I.P. Tupac.
Biggie and Tupac is a no holds barred investigation into the still unsolved murders of two of the biggest superstars rap has ever produced; Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls, and Tupac Shakur. Answering the crusading calls for justice from Biggie's mother Voletta, Broomfield hits the streets from East Coast to West Coast, putting his own life at risk as he uncovers sensational new evidence that points directly to the involvement of the LAPD and imprisoned Death Row records co-founder Marion 'Suge' Knight in the violent slayings that shocked the hip hop world.

B.o.B. 'Nothin' On You' video headlines new post
One of my favorite songs of the past few months, B.o.B.'s "Nothin' On You" featuring Bruno Mars finally gets that video treatment as you can see above. As you should expect with a creative artist such as B.o.B., the video provides a fresh take on the song through its unique production. The video, perhaps inspired by the May 25th mixtape cover (or vice versa?), plays off of magazine cutouts that are sometimes pieced together (as you can see with the girls) or presented as a whole, with B.o.B. walking through the street. The result is a neat, rarely seen visual that adds to the video's concept, rather than detracts from it. As you might be able to envision, the video does bring to life the lyrics with B.o.B. walking into the sunset at the end of the video with his chosen one. I was hoping to see a bus scene with B.o.B. hallucinating out the window to memories of a girl, probably because that's how I listened to the song, (that beat provides great travelling music, haha!). I've been ravin' about this one since November and it's amazing to see the single come full circle with a dope video and placement on a top 40 station here in Chicago, KISS FM. Things can only go up for "Nothin' On You" and of course B.o.B. so take note April 27th when his debut album, The Adventures Of Bobby Ray hits stores!
Down below, a batch of tracks and videos conclude the new music update. Mickey Factz drops his new single "Alpha" on iTunes, for which a video is coming soon. Bruno Mars makes his second appearance with cameo duty on Travis Travie McCoy's new single "Billionaire". Esso drops a couple unique freestyles and Usher is definitely tryin' to hit the mainstream with "OMG" featuring Will.I.Am *shudders*. Meanwhile, the videos below illustrate behind the scenes looks or interviews featuring more B.o.B., Consequence, Jay-Z, Jeremih and much more. Browse 'em all below. Enjoy!

G.O.O.D. Music producer Keezo Kane interview with Gowhere Hip Hop
G.O.O.D. Music producer Keezo Kane is the latest to chop it up with us in another exclusive interview for GWHH. Keezo touches on how he started with the G.O.O.D. Music family, his upcoming projects with many Chicago artists like GLC, and finally, Keezo adds some interesting insight about the artist/producer relationship. Does Keezo provide the beat for the artist or is it the other way around? Keezo explains some of the complexities, which becomes an added perspective for curious fans and up and coming producers alike. We'll have one more exclusive interview with fellow 3G Management artists, Mil Tickit and J-Lyn later this week so stay tuned for that! Enjoy!

Download The Five One 'Road To SXSW' mixtape
Sponsored By: gowherehiphop.com x illvibes.com
Our DMV homies The Five One check in with their latest mixtape in honor of their road trip to SXSW in Austin! First off, congrats to the group on their mini-tour across the south. They reward their fans and new listeners alike with this mixtape that features many of their GWHH-acclaimed remixes combined with a couple brand new original joints as well! You'll be hard pressed not to find somethin' you like on the tape as fans of artists like Lil' Wayne, Lauryn Hill, and Janet Jackson will undoubtedly appreciate their creative remixes. In fact, we still receive positive responses from people about the "Stuntin' Like Mufasa" remix that draws upon Lil' Wayne and The Lion King (yes, the Disney movie), originally released last summer. As you can tell from the combo involved, that track stood out.
But for those seeking new Five One, look no further than the tape's first track, "Nothing Is Work". The group not only provides that unique, alternative sound that fans are accustomed to already but they also add twists to their own voices for somethin' fresh and different. It's a fast-paced song that I can't get enough of ever since the first listen. So of course, we strongly suggest you check it out and if you like what you hear, please head on over to deucedayworld.com and donate whatever you can afford to the cause of the group! Not only that, but check out their site to find everything you need to know about The Five One. Enjoy!

Chicago Larry GWHH Commercial
We were out in downtown Chicago last week chillin' with none other than celebrity photographer Chicago Larry, as seen on VH1's For The Love Of Ray J. We strolled down State St. where Chicago Larry filmed a commercial for Gowhere Hip Hop out in front of the Chicago Theatre. Watch the fun commercial above, which also features a snippet of Chicago Larry's next club single "Do Da Chicago". Expect the song and much more from Chicago Larry exclusively on Gowhere Hip Hop in the near future! Enjoy!

XXL Freshman '10 Class leads new music post
ALL NEW Tracks featuring the XXL Class of '10
XXL's Freshman '10 class leads this full new music update as DJ Whoo Kid linked up with XXL and the artists for a mixtape filled with new music from the upcoming artists. Who's complaining about this idea? Definitely a nice compilation worth checkin' out for what XXL sees as the MCs to watch out for in 2010. #notgonnalie but I'm not gonna be bumpin' the entire tape (that should go without saying with contributions from OJ Da Juiceman, however). That said, new tracks from my favorite freshmen: Big Sean, J. Cole, and Freddie Gibbs are alone worth the download.
Down below, pick and choose or download all 10 tracks as upcoming Chicago artists Lottery and Esohel drop a couple new joints off their upcoming projects to lead things off. Another unreleased Big Sean track (shouts 2 1N2C) also makes its way onto the web with other hip hop cuts from the likes of Mos Def, Maino (shouts 2 splash), and QuESt. I was feelin' more of the R&B in this batch with a couple favs from R-Les and Sterling Simms. Beneath it all, peep a couple video premieres from Chip Tha Ripper and Nipsey Hussle, an "Echo RMX" preview from R. Kelly, and a couple interviews with Kid Cudi and Jay Electronica. Enjoy!

Download T.I. 'I'm Back'
Producer: Trackslayerz - FULL, CDQ *Tibs Fav.™
The King is back! T.I. returns with a fury on his first official release since his incarnation with the aptly titled "I'm Back". The Trackslayerz production sets the hardcore tone for an intense T.I. to get a lot of things off his chest. "I'm Back" is definitely on that street single tip (no pun intended), partly evident by a hook that is certainly eye-catching (ear-catching?) but not particularly catchy. He rips through his verses with some thoughts on the game while he was gone and some added insight into some experiences while he was in jail. My favorite verse is the second where he drops this one-liner, "Think the power's in your gun but overall, it's in your heart". On the third verse, T.I. takes aim at the haters and doubters, utilizing some intelligent diction in the process, in addition to a dope 'molotov cocktail' line. Overall, "I'm Back" offers listeners a glimpse at the changed man and will certainly satisfy longtime T.I. fans in need of some new material. To me, it's solid but not spectacular; no better than other songs of this type from T.I. like "You Don't Know Me" and "Hurt". It goes verses, hook, and beat in a distant third if I had to dissect the song like that. Download above (shouts 2 splash) and judge for yourself. Enjoy!
