Video for one of the cuts off of Statik Selektah’s, Population Control. It’s a dope joint all the way around though Bun B to me is the show stopper.
Single You Out: Leedz Edutainment – Stay Charged (ft. Stalley and Apollo The Great) (prod. by Falside)
I have listened to The Write Off Compilations previously and they have all been really good, but I don’t know if either of the previous volumes had a song of this caliber. I am sure people are familiar with Stalley, and in truth his verse here is on the money. Some of you may not familiar with Apollo The Great, but you can tell from his 16 that he is some one to be reckoned with. These two body another stalwart beat from Falside. The whole compilation drops on December 19th!
By clicking the link below I am sending you to the Booth to rate and download. Enjoy!

Single You Out: Little Vic – Flesh & Blood
This song is unfortunately not available for download, but it is so dope, and as a HUGE supporter of Little Vic, I thought it pertinent to post. The lyrics, the chorus, the beat, are all phenomenal. I hope you feel the same and if you are not up on Little Vic, now’s the time.
Single You Out: Awkword – The World View Singles
Awkword has been at this project since 2009 and will release the album in it’s entirety in 2012. All proceeds from the project will be going to the non-profit group, Guns 4 Cameras. You can find out more about the project on Awkword’s website.
But along with the good cause comes great music that I wanted to share with you. The other side of the project is that he is using producers and artists from across the globe, bringing to light production talent we have never heard before. Awkword has put out some dope material. Enjoy and support a good cause.
Hasan Salaam – Musical Chairs (ft. Red Clay) (Video)
The media never reports on the positive effects of Hip Hop on a community. No matter. Hasan Salaam’s latest project, Music Is My Weapon, is being used to help a community in East Africa. Proceeds from the album will be sent directly to the It Takes A Village Project. And let’s not forget another important aspect of the music…it’s dope. Enjoy and support!
MadKem – Holy Mackerel (Video)
This is my second favorite song off the Charles Workman album and interestingly enough it is the second video dropped by MadKem. You certainly should check out the album.
The Burnerz (Zumbi and The ARE) – The Edge (ft. the Grouch and Martian Luther) (Video)
This song dropped last year on The Burnerz highly acclaimed self-titled album. This song is dope and I like what they did with the visuals. It’s giving you the surreal vibe. If you did not check out the album, you need to get on that. It’s dope!
Single You Out: J57 – Pulp Fiction / Craft Brewed / Do Earth
Late November was a tough time for me to post so I am making up for the lost time and making sure I make you all aware of what J57 is cooking up for his 2057 EP, dropping next month perhaps. I can hope. These tracks are all dope but my favorite is this last one, Pulp Fiction ft. Koncept. What pray tell is your favorite of the bunch?
Pulp Fiction (ft. Koncept)
Craft Brewed (ft. Silent Knight)
Do Earth (ft. Von Pea, Charlie Smarts, Andrew Thomas, and Jefferson Price)
Respect Tha God – Oookay (Video)
In truth, I really enjoy this song. It’s fun. It’s light hearted. It’s also infectious. It had my entire office rolling in English accents. You know it’s a good song when it can make the people move out their seats. If I didn’t see Respect Tha God using this accent, I wouldn’t have believed it was him. He has a trademark gruff baritone voice. Shout out to Respect Tha God for doing something different and taking a creative chance. Kudos to you sir!
