Hi. I'm Leslie, it's nice to meet you.

M.O.P deserves better. Why haven’t Lil Fame and Billy Danze attained the same level of fame and notoriety than all of our other favorite (read: marketable) artists. I don’t really care if they have never made a “radio” single, in a perfect world, all of their songs would be on the radio. 107 MASH OUT.

I came to know about M.O.P the same way all of you probably did. Ante Up. By that time they were already 4 albums in and still beasting. On September 15 they are releasing their 9th album. Quit being an asshole and buy an M.O.P album. You deserve it and so do they.

Somebody please tell Jay-Z that personally handing his album in to the people at Atlantic didn’t work. This album has sprung a leak.

Two new tracks have been released just today, both Timbaland produced (hmmmm). Off That featuring Drake and Reminder.

Enjoy.

Radiohead has apparently given up on making full-length albums and will be moving more towards putting out singles. Whatever, as long as I get new Radiohead I’m happy.

Rumor has it that they will be releasing an EP entitled Wall of Ice on Monday the 17th. Nevermind, it didn’t happen. So, here is a new Radiohead single found floating around the internet, These Are My Twisted Words.

Enjoy.

I don’t get excited about much when it comes to music. Most things these days are average at best and sub-par more than they aren’t. Enter Rakim with the first single to his mythical Seventh Seal album, Holy Are You. I get excited just thinking about a Rakim 16. I downloaded this yesterday and have had it on repeat for the entire time, literally.

A little back story about my history with Rakim. In ‘87 when Paid in Full dropped, I went to my local record store and picked up a copy of…Exodus’ Pleasure of the Flesh. I’m not going to lie, I hated hip-hop back then. It was my cousin Louis that bought Paid in Full. But when I heard the first horns in I Ain’t No Joke, I started listening, and have been ever since.

Welcome back Ra.
