[NEW] The Roots - "How I Got Over"

New music from Jimmy Fallon's house band. It's good to hear Black Thought doing his little singing thang that he's been doin on Late Night. This is the first single from their upcoming album, How I Got Over which drops Sept 29th on Def Jam. Is it just me, or is this year full of incredible album releases? Yeah, I thought so.

[NEW] Shawn Chrystropher - "Untitled"

Here is the lead single from Shawn's upcoming album, A City With No Seasons. I've had this joint in my iTunes for a minute, but Shawn finally gave the green light to release it to the masses. Here's what Shawn has to say about this jammy jam:

The reason why the song is untitled is because it’s a love story, and I felt if I gave the song any kind of “love” title it would already be looked at as ‘cheesy’ and ‘predictable’ before anyone got a chance to listen to it. So this way, people get to judge the song solely based on its production and lyrics (as they should anyway). Sort of like reading a book with no cover or synopsis on the back, just you and the art

Dope.

Shawn has some big things poppin, so it's time to take notice. This week he is being featured on MySpace. And next week he'll be the Hip Hop Official Artist of the Week. That's what's up.

[NEW] Ghostface, RZA & Havoc - "Evil Deeds"

Wu-Tang Wednesday! Here's another leak off the upcoming Wu album, Chamber Music, which drops next Tuesday. This album pairs Wu-Tang members with classic New York MCs from the 1990’s era over beats and live instrumentation from Brooklyn soul crew The Revelations. RZA is the project’s Executive Producer. I mean, seriously...how dope does that sound? I will definitely be copping this one.

[NEW] Diz Gibran - "Dark End Of The Street"

Since the release of his Soon You'll Understand tape, Diz's buzz has been steadily increasing. Most recently, he opened for the Clipse at Club Nokia in downtown L.A. (footage of that coming soon). Diz N Moon are back with another heater for you, "Dark End Of The Street."

[NEW] Camp Lo - "Summer Love"

Ahhhhh, summer love. We've all been there. Apparently, so has Camp Lo. They flip one of my favorite songs of all time by Sylvia Striplin. Which you might recognize because some other dude by the name of Biggie Smalls also used it. How could you go wrong?

This one just makes you feel good. So if you enjoy feeling good, download this and bump it in the whip with the windows down, and the sun beaming down on you. God, I love the summer.

[NEW] U-God (ft. Raewkwon & Slanie) - "Cocaine"

U-God is probably the least heralded of the Wu members (well, except for Masta Killa), and the dude I probably check for the least (well, except Masta Killa), but this song is actually pretty dope. Granted, the title gives away the entire concept of the song, and the cocaine raps have been beaten into the ground. But it's got a classic gutter Wu sound to it. Give it a spin.

[NEW] Lupe Fiasco - "Fire"

Here's some new fire (pun intended) from Lupe. This is previously unreleased track that is...well, released as on the second you click the link. I swear, this cat has more unreleased music laying around than 2Pac. What's going on in that studio of yours, Lu?

[NEW] Clipse - "I'm Good" (ft.Pharrell)

Here’s the official single from the Clipse’ third album Til The Casket Drops, which is coming in September. I know the streets are fiending for some of that new Clipse crack. This one is produced by the Neptunes and is the first of 2 official singles coming this week. Best believe you'll be able to get the second one right here too.

FUN FACT: I will be interviewing the Clipse later this afternoon. And chilling at their video shoot on Saturday. And attending their concert Saturday night. You can be jealous now.

[NEW] L.E.G.A.C.Y. - "TKO" (ft. Phonte, Chaundon, Sean P)

New music from the Justus League (not to be confused with these guys). This joint is from L.E.G.A.C.Y.'s upcoming album, Suicide Music, which drops June 16th. There are some dope emcees and even doper lyrics on this joint. Oh yeah, and it's produced by the board smasher Khrysis. Hotdamn, the Hall of Justus stays putting out good music.

[NEW] Jay-Z - "D.O.A." (Death of Autotune)

I'm sure you've heard it. I'm sure you've downloaded it elsewhere. I'm sure you've probably even talked about it on Twitter. But I wouldn't be doing my proper service to you if I didn't post this monstrosity of a rap record. Hove goes in on the horrific trend that is auto-tuning your music. Finally. I've been saying this shit needs to die for months.

[NEW] Alchemist ft. Eminem - "Chemical Warfare"

Here's Eminem's contribution to the Alchemist's upcoming album, Chemical Warfare, which drops July 7th. For all of you wondering how the hell Em and the Chemisty Man linked up for this joint, The Alchemist is and has been Eminem's DJ for his live performances. That's how.

This joint is only 1:24, but it's the full version that will appear on the album.

[NEW] Ghostface, AZ, and Inspectah Deck - "Harbor Masters"

Woooooooooow. It's like it's 1994 all over again. Lace up ya Timb boots. This one appears on the upcoming album, Wu-Tang: Chamber Music, which drops June 30th. The album will be pairing Wu-Tang members with classic 90’s-era New York emcees, and all the music will be performed by Brooklyn-based soul band The Revelations. I can dig it. That idea is stupid dope. Wuuuuuuuuuu!

Mos Def x Talib Kweli x J Dilla.

Do you even need an explanation? Two of the dopest emcees lacing a track from one of the dopest producers of all time? You're wasting time even reading this. But this is a new joint from Mos Def's upcoming album, The Ecstatic, which drops next Tuesday. It features Talib Kweli and was produced by J Dilla. Enjoy, you bumperheads.

[NEW] Ghostface Killah - "Forever"

Ghost is back! From what I understand, this is a new drop from his upcoming album in which Pretty Toney is going to smooth it out a bit and come on an R&B tip. It's only right, since Ghost has always been about the ladies. Word on the streets is the first single will be with Mary J Blige. But this isn't that one...

La Coka Nostra x Bun B x Alchemist.

Wow. This is dope. Here's a new track from La Coka Nosta (Everlast, Ill Bill, Slaine, DJ Lethal, Danny Boy) featuring the Houston diplomat Bun B, and produced by the Alchemist. The beat is bonkers. The Chemistry Man is so sick with it.

[NEW] Drake (ft. Lil Wayne & Young Jeezy) - "I'm Going In"

New music form Drake Drizzy featuring Weezy and Jeezy. Fo sheezy. This one goes hard. And like the title suggests, they go in. I see Wayne's still using auto-tune on his hooks. Really? Wasn't that shit so January?

[NEW] The Dropouts (DNEZ x El Prez) - "Cop Trees"

"This is strictly for my Cali Kush Smokers & Medical Card Holders" (c) El Prez

Inglewood's own El Prez & DNEZ, also known as The Dropouts, have returned with a blazin (see what I did there?) smoker anthem just in time for the summer months. This joint (hahaaa I did it again!) is produced by Jansport J. It's the 1st leak off of El Prez upcoming mixtape Animal Style which drops this July.

FCC All Day. Respect my conglomerate.

[NEW] U-N-I : "Land Of The Kings"

This dropped last week, but like I mentioned I was on vacation, so it's only right that I show the homies some proper shine. This is the latest joint from Thurz and Y-O, and truth be told, it's on some next level epicness. I mean, how could it not be with a name like "Land Of The Kings?" That's like naming your son Maximus. He better be gangster.

You can also catch Thurzday in an upcoming cameo for the music video that I produced last week for the homie Basicali. Stay tuned for that in the next couple of weeks.

Eminem Bonus Tracks.

Here are extra specials tracks from Eminem's upcoming album, Relapse, which hits stores next Tuesday, May 19.

This first one is Marshall trying to exercise the demon that is his psychotic and drugged-addicted alter ego, Slim Shady. Interesting. And a little twisted. Eminem vs. Slim Shady, the final showdown.

Eminem - "My Darling"

The second track is Em addressing all the rumors circulating his hiatus, drug addictions, relapse, and haters. This album is definitely Em digging deep into his inner-self and writing from his heart. It's gonna be twisted, deep, heartfelt and at times difficult to listen to. I really don't know what to expect from it, except Em pour his soul out on the tracks.

Eminem - "Care For What You Wish For"
