DOWNLOAD MP3 Wale-OceanDrive.mp3 Summary: Wale on some Magazeen island beat. About Artist: Wale is a DC rapper who gearing up for the release of his sophmore album after his first album flopped due to drama with his old label. While many people are up in arms about Wale selling out to Maybach Music Group (Rick Ross’s posse), Wale’s next album Ambition has been billed as a return to Wale’s original style. The album is due out 11/1/11 and a mixtape prior to the album has been promised. Don’t know much about Magazeen (he sings the hook) except that he is an up and commer trying to break through. Tre is the lead singer of UCB (Wale’s original go-go backup band). I am a big fan of UCB’s sound and hoped for a while that the Go-Go sound would catch on nationally. Finally Black Cobain is another DC rapper (whom I really like) with much of the same rhyme style as Wale. About Song: This song is just a random track that may appear on Wale’s ElevenOneEleven mixtape which will promote the realease date of Wale’s next album Ambition. Favorite Part:
None really, I just like the track. Other: Wale Wikipedia The Board Administration Blog

They are coming out with a collaboration album Watch the Throne on August for and of course it will be much anticipated. About Song: This song will appear on Watch the Throne and I believe is the albums first single (not sure if H.A.M counted as single or not). The song, produced by Kanye West, sample Otis Redding’s Try a little Tenderness. Favorite Part:
The sample is sooo soulful and awesome but as far a lines I like…
“Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses
Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive
I get it custom, you a customer
You ain’t ‘customed to going through Customs” (1:47)
I also love Jay-Z verse right after that and best part it there is NO HOOK.

DOWNLOAD MP3 JoellOrtiz-LookAtMeNowftSebastianRios.mp3 Summary: Now this is some lyrical Ish About Artist: Joell Ortiz is Brooklyn rapper whos a little bit older than most rappers now-a-days and whos been rapping since about 2000. In the past few years however Joell has put out as many tracks as anyone. He makes up ¼ of Slaughterhouse but can undoubtably hold his own. There are a lot of Joell Ortiz tracks that I like but this new freestyle that just dropped exemplifies Joell fun, fast and killah style. I have not clue who Sabastian Rios is. About Song: This is just a random track that Joell dropped the other day which is nothing new since Joell puts out tracks nobody else. A little background you might want to know is Joell’s YAOWA thing. YAOWA is a little nickname he has for himself which among many other things stands for ‘you’re actually one world away.’ Favorite Part:

I first heard of them back in 2009 when I saw them open for B.o.B and Kid Cudi and they were one of the best live performers I’ve ever seen.

About Song: This new hip hop song is from Pac Div’s mixtape Mania! I like this song because it has a great bass beat (like all Pac Div songs) matched with a fun and clever flow. I just love to turn the volume up on this one and let the song takeover. Favorite Part:

“You’ll be another statistic my nigga freakonomics” 0:27
“Ya this is her favorite song, just like its her favorite thong back thens he saiud no to drugs, now she say lets hit the bong I be like you smoke too much, she be like you joke to much Turn your ass around and get your fingers and your toes to touch” (1:11)
