Enjoy your Player Holiday. The guitar strings in the beat are sick and add a sense of tranquility to the song. I would love to have my own private beach, kick back on my chair and listen to this song.

Raised in Watts, California, I can’t help but notice the similarities between Jay Rock’s style of rap and The Game’s. Jay Rock says. On top of that, they also have a similar voice. This is how Jay Rock wants it to be. Jay Rock, just as The Game did, wants to bring West Coast gangster rap back, and he has been getting help. Jay Rock says, “Game opened the door and I’m running right through with my people behind me. We’re trying to bring it back home, bring the West back. We’ve been down for a long time, so we’re trying to bring it back home.”

The cool thing about this song is that it is a story, a life-altering one for Jay Rock. Pay attention to the lyrics, and towards the end, you will be shocked.

There is R&B, and then there is gangsta R&B. This song fits into the gangsta R&B genre. I do not know who Tela is but there are three artists that are legends in the game collaborating together for this song. The beat is nice and soothing and it also fits into that chill genre.

Kicking it old school.

Hip Hop or not, I am sure you will appreciate this.

REMINDER: PLACE THAT PASSWORD ON YOUR PHONE!

I am sure you guys will enjoy this song. It made me laugh like crazy.

A 23 year old rapper, emerging from the city lights of Los Angeles, Sean Brown has this fresh, unique and fearless style to hip hop. This mixtape is cool in the sense that it is a story within itself. There are three phases to this mixtape: The Struggle, The Drama, and The Success. He takes on this adventure as to what troubles he went through, physically and emotionally. After the struggle comes the drama, and this is where mainly all the R&B is in this mixtape. From there comes the Success. He raps about what helped him make it and his ideology towards becoming successful in the game. Listen to these six songs off his latest mixtape “First in Line” and you will most probably agree with me that Sean Brown is legit.

“I don’t chase pussy so just throw the pussy at me”

Repping Inglewood, Skeme’s new mixtape “All Rap’d Up” is dope. I can’t stop listening to this song. The beat is funky, but good. On top of that, their flow on the beat is sick.

Shady

You probably know him for his tracks “Because I got High” and/or “Colt 45″ but here’s another classic, underground track from Afroman. Repping Palmdale, California Afroman is one of the funniest rappers in the game. While this song and its lyrics are funny, it has a serious tone to it with the beat and the cool temperament in Afroman’s voice. Enjoy

I like this song because of the contrast between the chorus and the verses. You got verses that are hard and have a bass hit to them, but when the chorus starts, the bass is gone for a bit and there is this relaxing beat that just soothes your soul. It is a unique song that catches your attention, and plus, Mos Def is on it. This is the style that you expect from the Gorillaz collaborating with Mos Def. Check this song out. I am sure you will like it.

The sample is “Kids” by MGMT.

This is off Juice’s upcoming mixtape, “American Me”, that will debut on March 2. This song has the vibe of a modern gangsta rap song and is also a hard hitter. The beat on the song is also sick, and the tuba in the chorus (I think thats the instrument) reminds me of Young Bucks “Get Buck” song.

Funny, French rapper Dizzee Rascal is. While he may not be a household name in America, if you go to Europe you will hear this guy on the radio and in the clubs. He has a really funny voice and if you can understand his lyrics he’ll give you a good laugh. This is a song you want in the club and your car and should be a personal anthem for life.

More from my boy Kwame Katana. I am keeping an eye on this guy. He will be blowing up soon.

I can’t find anything about this guy New Breed. This song was released yesterday and it is good. You will be hearing it on the radio pretty soon.

I recently just came across Gazmo and am going through his album. This song is pretty sick, even though it is short. He starts off talking about how the inspirational figures of hip-hop passed away and what his mindset is on achieving the dream of become of becoming a hip-hop artist. He keeps pushing it, and doing what he does, even though he is a not known. He does it for the game.
I like that he says that hip hop is not dead but it is cursed. It kind of reminds me of how Wiz Khalifa says hip-hop isnt dead, the game has only changed. It also helps that the beat is sick.

Shady

“This isn’t a love song, this a thug song.”

I am listening to this on my ipod headphones and the bass is pretty intense. I am pretty sure this will hard on a proper system. Besides the bass level, it is kind of a surprise to see slim thug singing something that is leaned more towards the R&B side. However, he argues that it isn’t and that it is a thug song. Either or, it is a good song. Props to Hotzauze for showing me this song.

This song is off Gazmo’s latest mixtape “The Gazmo Show”. It has this old school feel to it like you are still in the 90’s, which I would have to say is mainly due to the beat. Lyrically its a hard song… nasty I guess you could say.

Here is another song of Mullage’s Album “This is for the Radio”. This time it is an R&B song. If you guys have not figured me out yet, then you don’t know that I am a sucker for piano beats. It adds this sense of depth and emphasis to the song. Check this song out. I am trying to figure out which one of the members from Mullage sounds like Andre 3000. It is tripping me out.

Method Man & Redman – Blackout 2 Intro

We normally have this habit of skipping the intro song and just getting into the good songs of the album. However, you can’t do that with this album. Off Method Mans and Redmans latest album, Blackout 2, this intro is sick.

Horshoe Gang – Outro

Off the album Gangsta M.C, Horseshoe Gang tear up this outro.
