KiD CuDi – Erase Me ft. Kanye West (Radio Rip)
KiD CuDi – Erase Me ft. Kanye West (Radio Rip)
Hold up folks! It’s just a radio rip from a Cleveland radio station. This has the potential to be one of those late summer anthems. Kanye at his finest as well. I’ll be sure to post up the CDQ when it drops. It’s pretty poppy, it kind of has that 90s alternative rock feel….interesting route but I think it worked out nicely.
Cudi’s second album Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager is due out September 14th.

Big Boi Interview with Fake Shore Drive (Video)
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in D:\Domains\haochen.me\wwwroot\tumblr\index.php on line 109
Big big things over at Fake Shore Drive. Good shit! I’ll let Andrew do the talking:
First and foremost I’d like to welcome our newest addition to the FSD team, Ms. Laura Mitchell, who makes her FSD debut today. She’ll be handling a lot of our interview and hosting duties, and will be playing a big part in a major venture we’re about to embark on. You can expect details on said venture very, very soon.
Now back to business. Big Boi of the legendary duo Outkast was recently in the Chi for an album listening session for his upcoming release, Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty, which is due out next Tuesday (July 6th) on Def Jam. This project has been a long time coming, and I know I speak for a lot of people when I say I’ve been waiting on this one for years. Big was always my favorite member of the duo (yeah I said it), who ranked at the top of my favorite emcees list for years. His verses on tracks like “Benz or A Beamer“, “Return of the G”, and “13th Floor” , (just to name a few) have cemented him as one of the all time greats to bless the mic.
On the verge releasing his first solo album, we caught up with Mr. Patton at CRC Studios to discuss the title of the project, the videos for both “Shutterbug” and “General Patton” , his love for bowling, why Jive blocked Dre’s guest features, being signed to Def Jam and Maurice Garland’s Creative Loafing article . He also reveals that the Dungeon Family is working on new material, including new tracks from Goodie Mob and announces his hopes to work with Kanye West.

(Chicago, Illinois – June 24th, 2010) “Make your first impression a lasting one” was in mind while the up and coming duo Nick -n- Beans readied the release of their debut mixtape “Parties, Hoes, & Dope Clothes Vol. 22” – teaming up with the “Fathers Of Chicago’s Streetwear Scene” Artist Mike100s and DJ Vic Lloyd (Boardroom Music Group, Leaders 1354) to Host and DJ.
