Let’s see…you have a) Asher spitting over the classic Pace Won “I Declare War” beat, b) BBGUN on the directorial tip, and c) a random topless girl halfway through the video. Yep, I approve.
More freshness from the town. A little NSFW though, so be careful if you peep it at the office. Dyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyme Def!
It’s almost crazy to think that B.o.B hasn’t even dropped an official album yet. Fortunately that day is just a few months away, and until then we have this to hold us over. Alongside DJ Drama & DJ Sense he gives us the May25th mixtape. With guest appearances by J. Cole, fellow ’09 classmate Asher Roth, and more as well as production by Alchemist and Kanye this tape is sure to get a few plays on your iTunes.

The homies Cee & Bekah traveled all the way from Australia to link up with Mick Boogie & Terry Urban and drop the latest edition of their Soul Movement mixtape series. This one picks up right where Vol. 2 left off with an ill mix of dope rhymes and ill melodies. Great beat selection too. Cop this with the quickness and if you’ve been sleeping, you can actually download all 3 volumes off the Bandcamp link below.

I know I’m a little late on this, especially since I’ve been bumping the tape non-stop ever since OU sent it out, but better late than never. Outasight is one of my favorite artists these days and this project shows exactly why. He’s a dope MC, vocalist, and is forward thinking with his art. Plus he’s just a cool dude. Download this immediately:

Congrats to Outasight for recently signing to Asylum/Warner Bros. Records as well. I hear the head of WBR is personally really excited about the signing, so it looks like they might actually give him the push he deserves in 2010…
As I mentioned when the “Whiplash” video dropped and previewed this track at the end, “Young Black Male” is one of the illest records of the year, hands down. Even though the Pac Div homies haven’t shot an official video for it, this fan made project using clips from Boyz N The Hood works quite well.
“Rickyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy” 🙁
After a long period of relative silence, it looks like Lupe has decided to stop letting these counterfeit ‘lyricists’ get all the shine. He’s been ripping freestyles lately and now he’s dropped a new mixtape to stake further claim to the throne. FNF Up!
Special shout to Shake @ 2DopeBoyz for creating some dope artwork (crushing the original) and splitting the tape up into single tracks. Enjoy!

As a prelude to their collab album, The Stimulus Package (February 16th, 2010), the big homey Jacob Wizzle links up with Freeway and Don Cannon to release The Beat Made Me Do It. As J. Moore always says, “Freeway just loves to rap.” And he’s exceptionally good at it. Cop this immediately.

Here’s a mixtape from Michigan-native Mike Posner that came out a few weeks ago, but I felt it was worth posting just in case people missed it. There’s definitely a handful of noteworthy records on this project. Check out “Speed of Sound” and “You Don’t Have To Leave,” plus there is an eerie rendition of John Mayer’s “I Don’t Trust Myself.”
Posner is an emerging song-writer/singer to look out for as he recently signed a deal with Jive Records.
