Mixtape Monday - In My Zone 2 & #Lemmeholdatbeat

It's Mixtape Monday!  Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving - sorry for the extended absence (again) but there wasn't much worth posting for the past 10 days.  And I'm busy.  So without further ado, here's everything you need to cure your case of the Mondays.  Also, if you don't have it yet, pick up My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.  Shit is serious.

Remember yesterday when I said I didn't know much about Johnny Polygon, but that I like what I've heard?  Well you downloaded the song and liked it right???  Since my timing is perfect, Johnny Polygon just dropped The Catch Up mixtape to introduce all of us to some highlights from his 10 year career.

Mixtape Monday - Boombox Music


My man Vito (@Yebies) put together this mixtape.  I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I 100% trust his taste in music and just by looking can say that this mix is worth a listen.  Download the mixtape and enjoy/get familiar with these artists.
Boombox Music is for all you folks that love good music... I hope these tracks open you up to various artists that you may have seen on other sites but never gave a chance to. This mix includes music from J. Cole, Theo Martins, Mike Lights, QuESt, XO, Cee-Lo Green, and Jay Electronica, among others. I would give you the track list, but the thrill and suspense and the unknown is a lot better.

Sunday Wrap Up


Kanye West - Looking for Trouble (feat. Pusha T, Cyhi Da Prynce, Big Sean, J. Cole)
Sick Steel Pulse Sample (Blues Dance Raid).  Kanye can't miss right now.

Chiddy Bang - Dancing With The DJ
Posted this to twitter, but here's the link if you missed it.


Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks - Anymore
Cheers was a highly underrated album.  Good to hear some new Obie, and this track knocks.

Lil Wayne - Do It Again
Don't think this is new, but just a CDQ version of an old leak.

Here's the Steel Pulse sample Kanye uses in Looking for Trouble.  Classic reggae.

FREESTYLE FRIDAY - Pusha T & Kanye West*

Kanye gets the asterisk because he's actually just spitting his verse from Gorgeous.  Dude is a talented emcee but he doesn't kick style for free.  But Pusha goes off.

Talib Kweli – 1st Time (feat. Consequence)


From both Talib and Cons' upcoming mixtapes. Featuring a sick Marvin Gaye sample.


Completely unrelated, but download this Nitty Scott, MC track I Luv My Life.  If you're feelin' it check out her website.

Lil Wayne - Talk That (lost verse)

Since today was #freeweezy day it's only fair to show him a little love. Timbaland dropped this never heard before verse from Talk That. More importantly, my favorite producer of all time will be starting Timbo Thursdays. Hypeness.

Chiddy Bang - Here We Go (live)


Chiddy Bang performs their banger live for MTV (aka 10 employees?). If only they had brought Q-Tip in for the live hook and a new verse. These kids are blowing up and it's great to see. I saw them perform 2 years ago in Brooklyn and now they are touring Europe and getting mad love from MTV. Gotta love when talented artists get respect.

Cee-Lo - It's Ok (Lyric Video)



Another lyric video (like the original for F*ck You) from the Soul Machine. This album needs to drop already.

Ronnie & Clyde



These digital shorts (and Andy Samberg) are about the only things that are still funny on SNL.  Peep this sequel to Shy Ronnie - Ronnie & Clyde.  You might want to watch the first video before, so I'll throw that down below.

Wale - Aston Martin Music (Freestyle)


I don't know what kind of love Wale gets outside of the DMV, but he's one of my favorite rappers out right now.

David Banner & 9th Wonder - Be With You (feat. Ludacris & Marsha Ambrosius)


This album will be serious - their styles mesh surprisingly well.  Check out this winner off their upcoming project.

Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On


I listened to this track 10 times on Saturday night.  Lupe is one of the most talented artists out there.  Go support him.  LASERS March 8, 2011.

Cee-Lo - The Lady Killer (Stream)


The Lady Killer drops November 9th.  But you can listen to the entire album now.  You should listen to the entire album now.

Big Sean - Too Fake (feat. Chiddy Bang)


Big Sean - Too Fake (Ft. Chiddy Bang) from illRoots.com on Vimeo.

New video from Big Sean's mixtape - Finally Famous Vol. 3.  I'll listen to anything from all 3 these guys, and this track doesn't disappoint.

Aloe Blacc - The Dark End of the Street


Straight from his label, Stones Throw Records.  Get familiar.  Now.

Tangerine & Deuces Remix

I posted these before, but here are the "official" versions if you don't have them.

Big Boi - Tangerine Remix (feat. Fabolous, Rick Ross, Bun B) via 2dopeboyz

Twista - Back to the Basics (feat. Diddy)


Adrenaline Rush was my go-to jam before every football game.  I can fuck with this track right here - and don't worry, Diddy only has a couple ad-libs.

Kanye West - The Joy (feat. Pete Rock, Jay-Z, Charlie Wilson, Curtis Mayfield & Kid Cudi)

It's been a minute since I've posted, but I swear I'll be back for good in about a week!!  Here's the latest G.O.O.D. Friday joint, and man is it good.
