I think 2011 is going to be a big year for Laws. Obviously he broke out nicely in 2010, but he has all the tools, talent, and connections to release great music and reap the rewards and recognition. Here’s his new video for “Run Away,” a Justice League produced record sampling the Yeah Yeah Yeahs record of the same name. Directed by Omar Shaikh and featured on Laws’ 4:57 and 5:01 mixtapes.
Parker’s mixtape dropped Christmas Eve and makes a fine Christmas gift to you and yours. Produced by Tha Bizness and Kuddie Fresh, can’t go wrong! Download link below.

A cookie goes to the first person who can name Emilio’s last rap moniker…if you know it, you’ve been listening to him for at least a few years and you already know this tape is fire. For the rest of you slowpokes, peep game:

Just realized I never posted up this video, my bad. One of my favorite records off Kush & Orange Juice…crazy beat and overall, just a smooth joint from front to back.
Never Say Never…and better late than never! My apologies for the delay in posting this, especially since I was rocking to it for a minute before it dropped. The homey Outasight is one of the illest up and coming artists in the game, and he continually drops free music for y’all to enjoy. Buy his rookie card now while the price is cheap.

It’s been a long time coming, but the homey Lace Cadence of Clockwork has officially released his first solo project, coming in the form of the Launchpad mixtape. If you’re familiar with Clockwork, then you know a bit of what to expect, but this builds off the group’s sound and takes it to a new place altogether. I had a nice discussion with Lace about where he’s at musically these days and I couldn’t be prouder of dude. In essence, he’s a grown ass man and he’s going to make the music he wants to make, without compromise. He’s shown elements of this style throughout his career, but he really owned it on these records. As an artist, that’s where you want to be.
I’m also happy to add that J. Moore and I hosted the tape, while DJ B-Mello mixed the project from front to back (sound familiar?). It was a great process all around, so big shouts to Lace, Frank, Blastoff Productions, Producer L, and everyone involved with Launchpad. Hope y’all enjoy the tape as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Heres something a little new/different for yall. One of the things Ill be bringing you guys to this blog is music from artists you may not hear much of even on SNSS. One of my favorite artists, Curren$y, formerly part of Weezy’s Young Money label, just released his newest mixtape titled Smokee Robinson with Don Cannon. With appearances from Nipsey Hussle, Dom Kennedy, Wiz Khalifa and more, Curren$y certainly doesn’t disappoint with his newest installment. Download link after the tracklist, leave your thoughts. Indulge…

Thanks to Shake for uploading a tagged version.
EDITOR’S NOTE: My man Mitch posted this up ages ago and it just sat in queue. *Shakes fist @ WordPress* My bad folks!
Some of my friends don’t really approve of the liberal use of the Marvin Gaye sample, but I don’t think Theophilus is trying to take it to that level or anything. This is just a mixtape record, albeit a super sexy record, especially when paired with the Vashtie directed video.
Check please.
This is actually one of my favorite songs from Bobby Ray and while I was disappointed to see it not make the album, at least they shot some quick viral visuals for it. As for the topic at hand, you could write an interesting psychological analysis of girls that become models. That’s gotta be a weird life decision to reconcile with yourself as you get older. But for the rest of us, at least they’re fun to look at…
