The real Birdman.
Usually, we only mention Birdman in reference to his jewelry collection and his finance tips, but apparently he has an album coming out for some reason. Using his Bird-powers, he got Bun B and Drake to spit acid all over this track. If you can endure Birdman’s verse, you’re in for a treat.

Odd and cute charming fan made video for this track off Jay Stay Paid. Directed by the awesomely named Marcus McDammit.
While we’re on the subject, here’s a little bonus Dilla beat some of you might not have, but you might be familiar with it from Jay Electronica’s self-titled song over it. This is just a lovely little soulful headbanger.
Most other sites have only casually taken notice of his banger with Raekwon and that turd of a song he dropped with Juelz Santana, but I think the Yelawolf has a lot more to offer. The Alabama MC combines rock influence with southern twang for something very original in hip-hop (minus Bubba Sparxxx).
“Pop The Trunk” is from his upcoming mixtape Trunk Muzik.

This song could’ve done without Wiz Khalifa and Lady G. Bad Lucc and Kurupt’s verses are full of anger and frustration, but Khalifa and G just spit that cutesy quirky wordplay that has plagued 2009. Terrace’s beat knocks, but I prefer his funkier, jazzier stuff.
Regardless, I’m excited to hear what a full-length Terrace Martin album sounds like. His albums with Kurupt, Bad Lucc and Murs are all MIA.
“The Demo” is the first leak off Terrace’s solo album of the same name.

Don’t sleep on The Lessondary crew. They’re a rare pocket of talent in hip-hop.

Ghetto, a member of Termanology’s ST Da Squad, celebrated his release from jail with 100 angry bars over a fresh Statik Selektah beat. Damn, Ghetto should get out of jail more often.
His mixtape, Trunk Music, will feature production from Lil Fame, Statik Selektah, MoSS and Lee Bannon.

As the gentleman from DJ Premier Blog so eloquently explains, this beat was originally intended for 50 Cent.
In December, DJ Premier mentioned that he sent 50 Cent a beat and Curtis turned it down. In response to the Internet’s collective outcry, 50 Cent found the beat and rapped over a loop of part of it, which he dubbed “Shut Ur Blodclot Mouth.” The two never got together to finish the song and Premo eventually gave the beat, which samples 50’s voice, to his group NYGz.
That track is “Ready,” which will appear on Hustler’s Union: Local NYG, which will be produced entirely by DJ Premier.
It is with great shame that I post this leaked Drake track from the unofficial mixtape Heartbreak Drake 3 (The First Semester). *shudders*
He’s a watered down, pretty boy version of Lil Wayne who will jump on a track with anyone who’s had a big record in the last year and he’s the major labels’ poster boy for hip-hop (good luck getting a record deal if you’re not somewhat Drake-esque). But darn if he can’t make some convincing pop-rap. I dig this song even though it’s almost the same exact song as “Digital Girl.”

Why does it sound like Snoop didn’t write his verses? And why do I feel like Snoop doesn’t know what malice means? Still, daps to the Uncle Snoop on putting the younger West Coast cats on a track. Terrace Martin can do no wrong by me.
