LRG Presents Wale & 9th Wonder - Back To The Feature

And just like that I'm back. Just downloaded the 2nd of 3 mixtapes that I've actually been waiting for.




I haven't listened to the full cd yet but judging by the leaks I've heard thus far.... It should be pretty good. Check Out Wale here and Download the cd here...

Oh,and that 3rd cd I'm waiting for is "Bullets Aint Got No Name" Vol.3 by the homie Nipsey Hussle. If your not up on him...CATCH UP!!!

So Let's see........

I received a lot of new music this week and haven had to chance to listen to half of it. I definitely listen to the homie J Cole's new cd "The Warm Up". Ive been waiting for him to drop this for awhile and he did not disappoint. I can see this being in rotation for quite a while. Download Here and check out his site here.

I also received Curtis's new "War Angel" LP. Sigh......Cant really say I'm disappointed because i didn't expect much from it in the first place. i was hoping that he would be on some "aggressive content" shit, and at first i thought he was. Halfway through the cd he just loses interest and and you can tell. If the cd was just the 1st 6 tracks and maybe 1 or 2 of the later ones it would be great, but unfortunately it goes on about 5 or 6 songs too long. He says he will be putting out "Sincerely Southside" part 2 during 4th of July holiday weekend and i enjoyed part 1 so I'm looking forward to that. He says part 2 will be over songs from the nineties. He spoke with the 1515 boys here about that as well as some other things. Download "War Angel" at ThisisCurtis.

Its also tons of various tracks from various artist out this week. Young Jeezy, Plies, Lil Flip, R0yce Da 5'9, Slaughterhouse, Baby F. Weezy, etc... I'm sure you've heard them all by now but in case you haven't you can check them out over at the Home Team's site. RapRadar.com (Where YN Lives)Ha!

Still going through my inbox listening to various underground/independent music to post. Ill try to do that in the next few days. I think I'm going to start out trying to make this a weekly recap ala my myspace blog, and then see where we go from them.
