Theophilus London - Fatal Attraction
New joint from Theophilus London while he finishes work on his album... He's a bit hard to describe, but dude is talented. If you like this song I recommend you download his last mixtape here.

Lil Wayne - Gonorrhea (Feat. Drake)
HipHopConnection leaked this track off of I Am Not a Human Being. Ignore the track-name... it's actually a pretty decent song.

Willow Smith - Whip My Hair
Yes, you read that correctly. Willow Smith, Will Smith's 9 year old daughter, has entered the music business (or was given a gift from her dad depending on how you look at things). A couple weeks ago she was signed to Jay-Z's RocNation, and now you can check out her song "Whip My Hair" on her website or on YouTube.
Deadmau5 - Sofi Needs a Ladder
Changing up the pace a bit on this one - if you're a fan of techno, peep this new banger from Deadmau5.
Kanye West - Lord Lord Lord (feat. Mos Def, Raekwon, Swizz Beatz & Charlie Wilson)
Sorry for the lack of updates the last few days... but to be honest there hasn't been a whole lot worth posting. If you haven't gotten it yet, check out Kanye's latest G.O.O.D. Friday joint.

Mayer Hawthorne - No Strings
I haven't had a chance to listen to this, but it's Mayer Hawthorne, so I'm betting this is worth posting.
Another Charles Hamilton Mixtape
Apparently Charles recorded this “inside a studio without clocks or mirrors in a two-to-three week span.” Could be interesting...

Kanye West & Pusha T - Runaway
Kanye and Pusha performed this to cap off the VMA's, and Flex dropped the CDQ version today.
Props to Kanye for not becoming public enemy #1 this year.

Big Boi Concert Footage
This took me way too long to make to let it fall. And anyways everyone needs to watch this. Check out my review on TheHipHopUpdate and be on the lookout for a guest post over at Fresh New Tracks.
Rich Hil - Purple Roads n Shit
Tommy Hilfiger's son is apparently making serious moves in the music world. I'm not sure how to describe him, but I'd throw this on next time you light one up.
Download Purple Roads n Shit

If you're feeling the track, download his mixtape
Charles Hamilton - For Your Locker EP
Here is a 3-track EP from Charles Hamilton. It's either going to be money or garbage, but Sonic the Hamilton was going pretty strong until he checked himself into a mental hospital.
Download it (via ondareal)
New Kanye - Good Friday (feat. Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Charlie Wilson)
Kanye delivers again on his G.O.O.D. Friday promise with my favorite track of the bunch. Have a feeling his new album is gonna be on some classic shit. Download Good Friday and all the other G.O.O.D. Friday tracks here:

NEW Tupac - Ride For Me
Some new 'Pac is always welcome. Check out this previously unreleased track featuring Fatal and Kurupt.
Donnis - Tonight
Check out this track from Donnis (another artist who just finished The Swelly Life Tour) off his upcoming Fashionably Late EP. For those who don't know, Donnis was an XXL Freshman of the year along with J. Cole, Whiz Khalifa, Big Sean, etc. If you're feeling the song, check out his Fashionably Late Mixtape here.
Aaron Smith (Shwayze) - Love Stoned (Mixtape)
I haven't had a chance to listen to this yet, just skimmed over a couple tracks, but it sounds pretty laid back and catchy... Which is pretty much what you expect from Shwayze. Stream or download it here. (via itsarap)
John Legend & The Roots - Little Ghetto Boy (Video)
Latest video from the Wake Up! album dropping September 21st. Have I told you to pre-order this yet??

K-Young - Love Drunk feat. Crooked I
Here's a new track from K-Young, the singer/songwriter on Treacherous Records. Does he remind anyone else of The Dream?
Throwback Thursday
Thanks to my man Jeff for pushing me to do this. If you have a request for Throwback Thursdays or for any new music don't be afraid to holler at me on twitter!
For the first installment of Throwback Thursdays, I'm bringing you one of the greatest hip-hop storytellers of all time - Slick Rick. His debut album, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick was released in 1988 and was certified platinum while reaching #1 on the hip-hop charts. Slick Rick was funny, smooth, and easy to listen to with his slight British accent and super clear delivery. Listen to Children's Story here, and then check out another one my favorite Slick Rick cuts after the jump.

Rihanna - Only Girl
This track has an electro-pop vibe so it might not be for everyone, but I'll have no shame rocking out to it this weekend.
XV - Vizzy Zone (Mixtape)
XV is a kid on the rise - recently signed to Warner Bros., he just finished up Chiddy Bang's The Swelly Life Tour and in about a week he'll be hitting the road with Mike Posner. Check his myspace for dates if you are interested, but definitely check out the mixtape.

Chiddy Bang - The Good Life (Produced by Pharrell)
Chiddy Bang's debut album The Swelly Life was pushed back until 2011, but they are dropping a mini-album called The Preview in October to hold fans over. I've been a Chiddy Bang fan for about a year and a half, and it's great to see these guys getting the mainstream love they deserve.
Download The Good Life (pic and song via Spin)
New Video - Wale, Waka Flocka & Roscoe Dash - No Hands
Here are the official visuals for one of the more radio friendly tracks off of More About Nothing.

Chiddy Bang - Fuck You Remix
Chiddy Bang just dropped a remix to Cee-Lo's Fuck You and the result is pretty dope. I'm feeling the original so much so was worried I'd be disappointed, but Chiddy and Xaphoon come through like they usually do. If you don't know about Chiddy Bang, go do your homework.
Download it (via Philly Chiddy)
Keeping This Up Top
This took me way too long to make to let it fall. And anyways everyone needs to watch this. Check out my review on TheHipHopUpdate and be on the lookout for a guest post over at Fresh New Tracks.
New Verses from Big Boi and Andre 3000
I feel like this is turning into Outkast week here at BTHH, and I gotta say that I love it. Here is a newer version of Lookin' 4 Ya (the track that Jive wouldn't let onto Sir Lucious) with an extra verse from Big and Dre.
Blackowned C-Bone Shouts Out Bigger Than Hip Hop
C-Bone was on stage with Big Boi last night, and I caught up with him after the show...
I gotta show some love for C-Bone - that's a good dude right there. Hit the jump for a video of him and Big performing Starr Wass, and make sure you download his mixtape, The Strong Pack, here.

Yelawolf Shouts Out Bigger Than Hip Hop
Big Boi brought out Yelawolf last night to perform You Ain't No DJ, and I caught up with Yelawolf after the show. He was definitely buzzing so the drop is a bit messed up, but check out my man at his myspace.
And hit the jump to check out the video for Yelawolf's single Pop the Trunk.

Andre Benjamin Is...
Outkast is the best rap duo of all time. Period. And Andre is top 5 dead or alive (I put him at number 1, but I wrote about him for my college essay so I guess I'm a bit of a groupie). Anyways, DJ Ideal and Hometeam Music put together some classic verses, unreleased music, and interviews for this tape. Download it.
In other Outkast news, I'm mucho excited to attend Big Boi's concert out in Brooklyn tonight. I'll have HD footage of the entire show posted either tonight or tomorrow morning.

You Be Killin Em BTS Video
I always love watching these behind-the-scenes videos from R. Les - the man is a musical genius. Here's his latest work with Fabolous.

Some R&B Fire
And here are some remixes that need to be added to your library ASAP (if you can appreciate a little pop/techno). I guarantee at least one will be played on repeat.
Labor Day Weekend Bangers
Here are some tracks you'll want to bump over the holiday weekend:
Fabolous - You Be Killin Em (Produced by Ryan Leslie) off his TiNC 2 EP. Fab and R. Les usually bring it with their collabos, and they don't disappoint on this one. download
Pitbull feat. T-Pain - Hey Baby. Pretty much you would expect out of these two. download

Solid track off Trey's upcoming Passion, Pain & Pleasure. Two dope/must have tracks after the jump (one from Trey and one from Drake).

5th video from Big Boi's Sir Lucious Left Foot... The Son of Chico Dusty (which you need to pick up if you haven't yet).

Cee-Lo Green... (really is) the Soul Machine
To cap off this onslaught of video's I bring you the visuals for Cee-Lo's "Fuck You." Best song of the summer? Maybe. Highly underrated artist? Definitely. Lady Killer EP coming in December.
John Legend and The Roots
In studio performance of John Legend and The Roots’ cover of "I Can't Write Left Handed." Off their upcoming collaborative album "Wake Up!" which drops September 21st. I'm really feeling the old-school movement by artists like John Legend, Sharon Jones, Aloe Blacc and Mayer Hawthorne.
B.o.B Unplugged
You can check out his full performance here, but below is a version of "Magic" that sounds like a poor man's version of "Hey Ya."
T.I. feat. Rick Ross - Pledge Allegiance to the Swag
New single off T.I.'s upcoming King Uncaged.
