BigHomie DOE – The Chicago Bull (Mixtape)
BigHomie DOE & Sean Mac – The Chicago Bull
I’m a few days late on this as I was back in Minneapolis for Soundset. This was the soundtrack on my flight back to Chicago this morning. Really good stuff!
Chicago stand up!

Kanye West – Power ft. Dwele
After months of silence, the greatest returns with a track that can only be described as powerful. Blast the volume on this one. Is there anyone in the hip-hop game more important than Kanye West?
This is “supposedly” the first single off Kanye’s 5th studio album titled Good Ass Job. Everything I have read about the album has been incredible and it can’t come soon enough.
The track was produced by both Symbolic 1 and Kanye West and features guest vocals from Dwele. Word is that Drake passed on the beat.
“I had the chance to listen to the new Kanye West album. I think that people are going to be shocked. His precedent was crazy, this new one goes even further.”
-Pharrell
Y’all know who had it first. Fake Shore Drive.

Split Second – Polos & Solos (Mixtape)
Split Second – Polos & Solos (Mixtape) (Hosted by DJ Mendoza)
This is hosted by DJ Mendoza of The Dean’s List so I was naturally interested. Split Second are three fellas from around the country (CA, CT and NYC) who all met at boarding school in Connecticut. They have that preppy east coast college, hip hop party music feel. Nah mean? Anyway – check it out if you want some fun music for the weekend. Good tape fellas!
Check them out on Facebook.
Kil Ripkin – Not You (Video)
The homie Kil Ripkin drops some real slick visuals for his track “Not You.” Always good to see new things from this Brooklyn native.

Mike Posner – Cooler Than Me (Video)
Mike P drops some trippy ass visuals for his hit “Cooler Than Me.” This video turned out very nice. Some cool concepts.
Just as a note – the original version of this song featured Big Sean and sounded quite different. You can find it on Posner’s first mixtape A Matter of Time. A remixed version of the track appeared on Posner’s latest mixtape One Foot Out The Door. The cool part? Remixer Gigamesh is from Minneapolis! Congrats!

Yet another fresh one from ATL’s Donnis. Fashionably Late drops on June 22nd.

Madvillain – Papermill
I’m always fuckin’ down for some new material from Doom and Madlib. I guess these two have been working on follow up album since 2009. Adult Swim dropped this one as part of their singles program.
All I know is, this is a pleasant surprise!

Nas & Damien Marley – Count Your Blessings Live on Jimmy Kimmel (Video)

N*E*R*D – Nothing Photoshoot (Video)
Easily one of the best bands on the planet.
T.I. – Got Your Back ft. Keri Hilson
T.I. – Got Your Back ft. Keri Hilson
Word is this will be the first radio single off T.I.’s King Uncaged which drops late August. Radio ready indeed. Three leaks in and this album seems to be shaping up real nice. Looks like it’s going to be the summer of T.I. – I’m totally fine with that.
Produced by DJ Toomp.

Pugs Atomz – Kinda Like A Mixtape
Presented by: Fake Shore Drive + DJ Booth + CoalMine Music + Fat Beats
The homie Pugs Atomz rolled through Bad Service this past Sunday and played some new joints off his upcoming album Kinda Like A Rapper exclusively produced by Grant Parks. Shout out to the lucky few that caught the show. Video of the interview coming this week!
The album drops June 1st but Pugs felt y’all need a little bit of a warm up before the album….and from what I’ve heard I think you do to. So check this full mixtape of new material. You are not ready for this heat.
Shouts to Pugs, Grant and the Coalmine crew for coming in!

King Uncaged coming August 17th.
Extras: Clean | Instrumental
Drake – Miss Me ft. Lil Wayne
Yeah yeah…two Drake tracks in a row. I know. A radio rip had dropped earlier this week but I was waiting till this higher quality version dropped. Many are saying this easily the best leak off the album so far. I wrote everything in the post below after I heard this song….so I’m sticking with that. This is still ok…..but the beat kind of annoys me to be honest. Always good to see Weezy.
Once again, Thank Me Later drops June 1st.
shouts illRoots.
…and for you college radio DJs.
Drake – Unforgettable ft. Jeezy
Drake – Unforgettable ft. Jeezy
I really have yet to be impressed by anything that has leaked from Drake’s debut album Thank Me Later. Then again, I wasn’t feeling So Far Gone at all when it originally dropped. I like this one the most so far I guess…I found myself shrugging my shoulders multiple times while writing this entry.
Thank Me Later drops June 15th.
What y’all think?

Nipsey Hussle ft. Sean Kingston – Hustle (prod. J.R. Rotem)
This is Nipsey’s first single from South Central State of Mind, out August 31st.
Interesting choice for a guest feature but I’ll let it slide. I get what he is going for and it’s pulled off effectively. Everyone needs that breakout single. Not sure this is it though…but what the hell do I know. I dropped an extra track below – I almost like that one better.
