DOWNLOAD MP3 Jelani-Paradise.mp3
Summary: Positive Hip Hop that we need.
About Artist: Never heard of Jelani before this
About Song: Here’s a quote from Jelani about the song
“I do music full time, it’s my day job, and throughout the day while I’m working in Pro Tools I leave my Gmail open to handle emails and chop it up with friends, 98% of whom are at their respective 9-5s. With this track, using the triumphant feel of the beat as a soundscape, I basically wanted to create something that would somewhat ease the stress of a 9-5 and soothe a bit of that “case of the Mondays” that people tend to get. This is something for the folks who rock headphones at work to use as an escape. If a beautiful Saturday afternoon had a soundtrack, *this* would definitely be on that CD.” (courtesy of 2dopeboyz.com)
Favorite Part:

DOWNLOAD MP3 Nottz-InMyMindftAsherRoth.mp3
Summary: Reflective Hip Hop
About Artist: Nottz is mainly a producer, from Virginia. He’s done work for Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, AZ, the Game, Busta Rhymes amoung others. Asher Roth got famous with his college anthem I Love College which, while propelling him onto the radio, didn’t recognize the real rapping talent that he has.
About Song: This song is off of a joint project between Asher Roth and Nottz called Rawth. I don’t think many people are gonna love this song, I myself don’t think its the best but something about the feel of the song rings true to me, maybe you’ll have the same feeling.
Favorite Part:
The soul of Hip Hop vibe.
