Jim Jones sounds like he’s been listening to KiD CuDi…A LOT (like everyday, all day). Check out Perfect Day ft Juelz Santana.

What do you think?  Not a bad look but very unexpected.

The video for Faded by Lessondary is SUPER low budget but the beats and rhymes are fresh. This one is strictly for the backpackers though.

KiD CuDi seems a lot happier when he’s perfoming. Maybe Mr. Rager is just for the studio. Check out his performance of REVOFEV on the Conan O’Brien Show.

It’s pretty dope that he’s wearing a Prince shirt too.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Speaking of Prince, in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, ?uestlove lists his top 10 favorite Prince songs of all time.  One of them is this extended version of Little Red Corvette that is super ill:

 

 

T.I. drops another banger with the video for I Can’t Help It ft Rocko. Will anybody be chanting free T.I.

Will anybody be chanting free T.I.?

 

Raheem DeVaughn is one of the dopest singers to ever bless the mic. He’s not hip-hop but it’s in his roots. The legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff was one of the first to put him on when he was just Raheem. Check out his new mixtape called Jackin’ 4 Beats.

Click here to listen to and download the mixtape.  He did indeed jack these beats so most of them will sound familiar to you.  The track list is below.  First, here are a couple of songs Raheem did with Jazzy Jeff from back in the day on Jazzy Jeff’s The Magnificent and The Return of the Magnificent compilations (incredibly, incredibly dope):

 

 

T.I.’s Poppin’ Bottles is the dopest track I’ve heard off his new album, so far. Not surprisingly, it features Drake.

Diddy. Dirty Money. Swizz Beatz. Ass on the Floor. Let’s go.

Remember The Outlawz? Yeah. 2Pac’s homies. They have a new song called 100 MPH ft Bun B and Lloyd…and it’s actually pretty dope. Check it out.

This was my favorite joint they did with 2Pac back in the day:

 

AZ is still putting in quality work 17 years after his killer cameo with Nas. Check out the video for the remake of Gimme Yours which was produced by Statik Selektah.

Statik Selektah has quietly become one of the hardest working producers in the game.  This is a good look for both him and AZ:

Here’s some bonus KiD CuDi. It’s not included in the album but it fits right in. The video is called Mojo’s So Dope (but I’m sure KiD CuDi was not inhaling…).

This one is produced by the cool kids over at Decon.

If you have not heard KiD CuDi’s album, here’s a friendly nudge.
