Cole hits us with something out of left field. Via his website, he drops five new tracks that didn’t make the album cut. (Track titles and song explanations under the download link) Read the quote below to get a better understanding, but expect a lot of new material as he prepares to drop his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story on September 27th.

“Every Sunday til the album drops I’ll be back with something. Maybe just 1 song, maybe a video, depending on how I’m feeling.”-J. Cole

1. Like A Star- Was saving this for the 2nd album. Due to some other shit beyond my control, I’ma let this out now.

3. Pity- Brand new J. Cole, Omen, Voli. Produced by Voli @volitheentity

4. How High- at one point this was guaranteed to go on The Sideline Story.

I’m pretty sick of seeing guys from the same background and label making tracks together. Wouldn’t it be much more interesting to see random collaborations? For example, it’d be a lot more fun to hear Skyzoo hop on a Lex Luger beat? Or hear Nas spit over a Chuck Inglish sample? Unfortunately, we don’t live in a world where I get everything I want, but one day, one day.

Curren$y will never make it bigger than he is now, and he’s okay with that. Recently, Spitta was quoted as saying that he doesn’t want to be on the radio, MTV or any other mainstream affiliate. To his defense, the dude only cares about a few things: smoking marijuana, cars & NBA2K11. Unfortunately the NBA lockout will make it a little difficult to play NBA. Buy Curren$y’s album Weekend At Burnie’s in stores now.

Before you check this out, know that this is no ordinary music video. This year, independent artists Macklemore and Ryan Lewis set out to film an ambitious music video to accompany “WINGS,” the first single on their upcoming LP. Teaming up with director Zia Mohajerjasbi, who the duo first collaborated with on 2009′s “The Town,” the multi-layered narrative incorporates the personal story of Macklemore and extends outwards to several generations of sneaker-heads.

These guys still have it. For those that aren’t aware, The LOX is made up of Yonkers, NY MC’s Sheek Louch, Jadakiss and Styles P. For years, they were the face of hip-hop’s birthplace. To discredit what they have done for hip-hop would be identical to saying Drake is a good rapper.
