I know we’re already midway through August but here’s a little summer catch up for those of you looking for some new music to download.
1. Second Place – Royce da 5’9″
-All that really needs to be said is Nickel + Primo…a formula that kills it every single time. Success Is Certain is in stores now and is quite good.
-Two of Detroit’s best young artists (Black Milk & Guilty Simpson) and a Brooklyn legend (Sean Price) came together for one of the best albums of the year, and this was far and away the standout track.
-Kendrick’s Section.80 IS the best album of the year so far, hands down.Besides HiiPoWer, I’d say this is the album’s best track, though a case could be made for many others.
4. Nasty – Nas
6. High (Featuring Wiz Khalifa & Chiddy Bang) – Big Sean
7. She Don’t Want A Man – Curren$y
-My favorite track off of Weekend At Burnies, great video too.
8. Penny Hardaway (Featuring Ghostface Killah) – The Cool Kids
-Mikey and Chuck straight killin it with the Ghostface feature and an overall dope track.
9. A Kiss – Eminem & Royce da 5’9″
10. Jaws – Greneberg (Roc Marciano, Oh No & The Alchemist)
-Greneberg was short, but very sweet. All three are great producer/MCs, but Madlib’s lil bro Oh No steals the show with this crazy beat straight out of a horror movie.
