Its new music Tuesday, so lets get you caught up on what's dropping dropped today. It's been a minute since I rocked one of these posts, but I thought it was about time I got back on my bullshit (No Busta). As always, I've provided a song for you so you can get a taste of what to expect. Make sure to go out and support good music.

Cam'Ron - "Crime Pays"

Killa Cam returns after nearly a 3 year hiatus from the rap game with his latest effort Crime Pays. Cam took the time off to take care of his sick mother instead of fueding with emcees. Cam even admitted that he thought about retirement during his time away. Well, Harlemites and rap fans alike are glad he didn't.

Gucci Mane - "Murder Was The Case"

Gucci Mane takes a page out of Snoop Dogg's book with the title of his latest album, Murder Was The Case. And it's not just a snazzy album title. Gucci Mane was arrested for murder back in 2005, the day before his debut album was released, for shooting a 27-year-old man. Georgia prosecutors dropped the charges in January 2006 based on lack of evidence, and here were are now.

They even elected the legendary ?uestlove mayor of the city. Why wouldn't you want to live there?
