Needs to Be on iTunes: Damani – What’s For Lunch

Today’s episode of Song’s I want to buy, but can’t deals with a recently released track by Damani called What’s For Lunch. Nima over at DubCnn uploaded it the first week of March and you can download it by clicking here. Even though this song is free, I’d be more than willing to pay the [...]

New West Spotlight: Bangloose

The West needs party music. We’ve got Gangsta Rap down pat. We’ve got a burgeoning backpack scene, plenty of swagger rappers and punchline rappers too. What we really need is high quality party music. The type of music where that makes you want to take a double shot of Grey Goose and hit the dance [...]

SOSOTW for 3/10 - Young Hootie: Grindin

Young Hootie out of Compton gets our coveted Slept on Song of the Week award for 3/10. Not really a new song, it’s track number 8 off of Hootie’s Culmination Mixtape Which was released just about a year ago. If you dig the song, you can download the whole Culmination tape here. Using a cleverly [...]

Suga Free and Hyphy?

So Styles over at RapTalk recently uploaded a track called My Dice from Suga Free’s upcoming album: Smell my finger. It’s a huge departure from Suga Free’s post DJ Quik catalog sounding more hyphy than anything else. Reaction has been mixed on the forums, but that’s to be expected. I dig the new track and [...]

New Maury Povich Theme Song by Lil John?

I normally stick to West Coast news, commentary, and audio, but every once in a while something so amazing comes along I just need to post it. This is one of those rare occasions.
With TVT Records filing for bankruptcy, Lil John may be stuck between a rock and a hard place. Even with the label [...]

Snoop Would be Crazy NOT to Service Country Stations With My Medicine

So I’ve come to the conclusion that Larry King has tremendous pull with the non-rap listening audience. Forget the reality show, Snoop being on Larry King opened some brand new doors for him. People who wrote him off years ago as “just another gangsta rapper” caught him on Larry King and he obviously changed [...]

Needs to be on iTunes: Hot Dollar – Ball Hard (Feat Jay Rock)

Today’s episode of Song’s I want to buy, but can’t deals with a recently released track by Hot Dollar. The name of the track is Ball Hard and it features one the hottest up and coming artists out of California: Jay Rock. Over an excellent and soulful track, the rappers trade verses about the trials [...]

Is Aftermath Releasing Bishop Lamont’s New Single in Secret?

Last weekend, a snippet of a new unheard Bishop Lamont track was released on the internet. The story that was posted along with the track is that DJ Whoo Kid played it on his mix show on Sirius Radio Station Shade 45.
With anticipation for Bishop Lamont’s album exceedingly high, many people rightfully assumed the song [...]

SOSOTW for 3/3 - Dr Stank: Girls Go Crazy

The slept on song of the week award for 3/3 goes to Dr. Stank for his track Girls Go Crazy. Equal parts innovative and insane, this track has an energy all its own. Not a new track by any means, Girls Go Crazy is a local favorite with the fraternity and sorority house parties here.

Shawty Redd and Hot Dollar album?

So I gave a CD with a bunch of random Shawty Redd and Hot Dollar songs to an exotic dancer acquaintance of mine. She played them during her sets and told me that everybody loved the tracks and she made a bunch more cash than usual. This got me to thinking; wouldn’t a Hot Dollar [...]
