Danny! - Hoedown Showdown ft. Von Pea
This is going to be found on Danny!'s re-release of Where Is Danny?
Kendrick Lamar - HiiiPoWeR [Preview]
Not sure when we're going to be getting the full video. The way this video was filmed it kind of reminds me of Tyler, The Creator's video for "Yonkers".

Jon Connor - I C U Lookin
On top of Jon Connor as Vinnie Chase: Season 2 dropping soon, we can also expect The Salvation EP to be released some time later this year as well.
Karmin - 6 Foot 7 Foot (Cover) [Video]
After slaying "Look At Me Now", Karmin is back to take on Weezy and Cory Gunz. These two were also featured on The Ellen Show recently.
Jennifer Lopez - Hypnotico
What really caught my interest about this song was that, according to Legend, it was written by Lady Gaga.
Consequence - Everybody Told Me (prod. Kanye West)
Cons' is already working on Part 3 of his Movies On Demand mixtape series. Damn, he's putting in work. Anddd this Kanye beat is smooth.
DJ Khaled - Welcome To My Hood (remix) ft. VA [Video]
Soooo, where's the "hood"? And I'm not sure how or why T-Pain is still relevant.
Busta >
Blind Fury - Friends Before Lovers [Video]
It's great to see Fury get some real recognition for his music. I guess all it takes is to be a monster on 106th & Park's Freestyle Fridays.
Clyde Carson - Where Doves Fly ft. Wyclef
I'm definitely a fan of this Bay Area emcee and I haven't even heard too much of his stuff. Lucky for me he's got a mixtape dropping this May called Something To Speak About.
Soul Khan - Soul Like Khan [Video]
Hmm.. I'm going to have to say this is my second favorite cut from his Soul Like Khan project, just behind "Fahrenheit".
April 26, 2011
Self Scientific - Trials Of The Blackhearted [FreEP]
It's about time we finally get some new music from these two. You know it's going to be dope. Check the tracklist under the link and download.
Charlie Smarts - Trident [Mixtape]
This really came out of nowhere. My favorite Kooley High artist drops off a brand new solo mixtape. Hit the jump for the tracklist and download.
Fly.Union - TGTC (The Greater Than Club) [Mixtape]
After a bunch of leaks, the Ohio group lets go of their newest project with features from BJ The Chicago Kid, Dom Kennedy, and Pac Div. Hit the jump for the tracklist and download.
The Weeknd - Loft Music (remix) ft. Donnis
I'm surprised it took this long for a rapper to put some bars over a track from The Weeknd's House Of Balloons mixtape.
Luke Christopher - Roof Tops ft. Asher Roth
The 17 year old up and coming artist gets some help from Asher on this one.
Curren$y - #JetsGo
Just a few days after releasing an entire EP, Spitta lets go of another iTunes single for the fans that didn't make the cut for Covert Coup. This dude is putting in some work.
Shouts to: EE

araabMUZIK Metal MPC Solo [Video]
New video of Dipset's producer tearing up the MPC. Damn, he must go through pads on that thing like crazy the way he beats the hell out of them.

Lupe just took to his Twitter machine to let the world know that MTV will premiere his video for "Words I Never Said" this upcoming Thursday, April 28th.
Saigon - Get Busy [Video]
#LatePass. I had no idea there was a video for this Sai track. This song was on rotation for quite some time when it dropped.
Mac Miller Attempts First Stage Dive [Video]
While performing "Donald Trump" at Indiana University, Mac gets to know the crowd a little better. Something tells me that won't be the last time this dude gets the chance to do that with such a long career ahead of him.
Shouts to: DJ Bonics
Ludacris - F5 (Furiously Dangerous) ft. Slaughterhouse & Claret Jai
I've had absolutely no interest in seeing these movies ever since I watched the third one. To be completely honest, I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I even saw it. Not to say that the soundtrack can't be dope.
Beastie Boys - Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win ft. Santigold
Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 drops May 3rd.
Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan) - Grand(er) Vonye [Mixtape]
In the words of Von Pea:
Grand(er) Vonye! remixed in 24 hours 4 years ago. I love the samples I found for Progress Report and Critical Beatdown (keep in mind this is a remixed project so these beats didnt exist when the songs were written) and I got tired of not sharing this with anyone so…here it is! (You can say $0 by the way)
Eminem & Royce Da 5'9" Announce Bad Meets Evil EP
These two have had more opportunities recently to work in the studio together and are taking advantage of that by dropping a long awaited collaborative album on June 14th called Bad Meets Evil.
Shouts to: RR
Yonas - Nobody Else [Remix] ft. Phil Ade
Go check out Yonas' debut album, The Proven Theory, that just dropped today.
Charles Hamilton - NHF [Mixtape]
It makes me so mad to see the amount of potential this guy used to show just completely disappear. The Pink Lavalamp is still to this day one of my favorite albums ever. Some may call that a mixtape but if you can listen to that whole project all the way through and tell me it's not better then more then half the music you've ever heard, then you're crazy. It has pretty much been downhill since then between getting punched in the face, lying about working with Dilla, and falsely claiming he has AIDS and cancer. Hell, I think the only thing productive he's done recently is help jump start the career of former Penn State student turned rap battler, Rone. Hopefully he's trying to find his way back on track but this new 6-track sure isn't showing any signs of that happening soon.

2012 Chrysler 300-S With Beats By Dre [Video]

We're lucky enough to get another leak from the New Zealand artist's upcoming The Rose Tint mixtape dropping May 11th.
Frank Ocean - Songs For Women [Unofficial Video]
Somtimes when I'm not able to fall asleep at night, I like to put on some Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, or James Taylor. Minutes later I'm sleeping like a baby. Don't hate.
Blaque Keyz - Beautifully Human ft. Jon Bellion [Video]
Dope concept, Blaque Keyz brings the crazy lyrics like usual, and Jon Bellion solidifies the backup vocals. These two will be a problem in the future.
Jagged Edge - Love Potion [Mixtape]
The "Where The Party At" crew puts together a new tape prior to their new album, The Remedy, dropping June 21st. Damn, that one song still gets sooo much play from me during parties.

DJ Flip Flop On The 1s And 2s [Video]
Shake from 2dopeboyz was in Europe with CunninLynguists for their Oneirology tour and caught some great footage over there. The Portland, OR DJ rips this set apart.
Below The Heavens Catchup Post
I really hate falling behind on posts, but with a busy schedule it's tough to stay on top of all this great, new music coming out everyday. I'm taking the lazy way out this week and compiling a quick post of all the singles that have dropped in the past few days that I believe deserve some shine. Oh, and it seemed like a great way to reuse the new title I have been using as the website header. How does everyone feel about that new logo? Well, hit the jump for a bunch of new music.
April 21, 2011
David Dallas - Ain't Coming Down ft. Buckshot
For some reason I can notice his accent a bit more on this song more then any other. Anyway, this will be the bonus track off his American debut, The Rose Tint, dropping May 11th. Up top is the artwork and you can hit the jump for the tracklist.

Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, and Ab-Soul chop it up with MTV about the new West as part of MTV's continuing series about the growing number of dope artists coming from the Pacific coast.
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - T.R.O.Y. [Live]
The quality of the audio and video on this was too perfect to not post it. Plus, it's one of my favorite songs.
April 20, 2011
Beastie Boys - Make Some Noise [Video]
This video for the Beastie Boys first single off their upcoming album Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 album is amazing. There are too many celebrity appearances to start naming them all. Nearly every face in the video is recognizable from Seth Rogen, to Rashida Jones, to Will Ferrell playing some cowbell. The album's release date is May 3rd. Hit the jump for the video.
Jon Connor - Hustlin Is Always An Option
Connor's bound to blow up quickly this year. Just wait for Jon Connor As Vinnie Chase: Season 2 to drop and y'all will see.

Focus... is usually hit or miss for me, but this really goes hard.
Freeway - HAM Extreme [Video]
I'm not too sure how I missed his latest single, but this is pretty tough.
YP - Light It Up (prod. Chuck Inglish) [Video]
Why do I feel like this is going to be the topic of every new song that drops today? Anyway, Chuck kills it like usual.
Mac Miller - Piffsburgh x 3rd Dimension
These 2 Mac cuts came from the Piff Jar mixtape of various artists. With songs from Mac, dropping on a day like this, and coming from a project by the name of Piff Jar, you can only guess what the topic of discussion is.

Hip Hop vs. Miami Horror
After listening through XV's latest Zero Heroes mixtape, I found myself playing the song Foreign Exchange Student over and over again. Featured on this song was the electro-pop group from Australia known as Miami Horror- whom I had never heard of before (I'm not really into the electronic scene). The track didn't really seem like something XV would usually do, so I did some research on the group and was able to find the original version of the song. While searching through some of their discography on Grooveshark, I also heard quite a few of their other songs that sounded very familiar to me and noticed immediately where I had heard them before. Well, XV isn't the only artist to recently work his own song onto a Miami Horror track. What great way to reach out to different fan groups. I love finding things like this by mistake. Hit the jump to check out some of their other songs that were transformed by hip hop acts.
Chris Brown - She Can Get It
And yet another unreleased Breezy. I can't imagine how many tracks he actually recorded before making the final cut for F.A.M.E.
Maybach Music Group Presents: Self Made Volume 1 [Artwork & Tracklist]
