Kid Cudi Performs "Sky Might Fall" Live!


The Kanye production on this track sounds SICK. I can't wait to hear more stuff from the boy Cudi.

Bentley Continental Supersport


Not only is this an eco-friendly, flex-fuel whip, its also 621 hp with a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 204 mph. Thats fast as hell. Look at those wheels. Everything about this car is fresh as hell. Price is to be announced, but expect one to be hitting the streets of Morris soon...

J. Holiday- Don't Go


Some nice R&B if your in the mood for it. J. Holiday is a great singer, but I definitely didn't think his debut release was anything special, even though it features a few of my favorite R&B tracks of all time. The kid has potential though, expect a lot from him in the future.

Vans Vault Del Barco Low

These are probably the cleanest shoes vans has to drop yet. Their interpretation of the boat shoe is fantastic. They kept the white signature vulcanized sole of course, which further complements the design. The leather looks great with the canvas, but the all canvas versions are also very clean. The ultimate blend of trendy and preppy. They drop this fall. I will be purchasing a pair. More pics at Marcustroy.

Bottega Veneta S/S 09 Trainer


Fresh to death kicks from high fashion brand Bottega Veneta. It features their signature woven leather. Interesting use of an orange midsole around the back portion of the shoe. The lace-locks and white laces are a nice addition to the predominantly black trainer. Pic via selectism.

Supreme X Damien Hirst Skate decks


A surprising collabo between Streetwear brand Supreme and highly successful modern artist Damien Hirst. The splatter graphics look great. I wish I could get my hands on one of these to display on my wall. The top of the deck looks just as good. It features some basic graphics with the Hirst signature at the bottom. More pics at hypebeast.

Jadakiss- Kiss My Ass


New heat off of The Last Kiss, dropping soon. I'm excited on this album but it'll probably dissapoint just like every album besides Drakes So Far Gone, which was free btw lol. Stupid record labels making rappers fit a certain mold instead of letting them do their own thing, really showing their talent and creativity.

Cash Money is BALLIN!


A great documentary on how Cash Money is still making boatloads of cash despite recessions and bad economies. This interview by Bryan Williams is a documentary titled "NewBOs: The Rise of America's New Black Overclass." I guess I just never really considered how much money the label was making off of Wayne and everyone else. Good stuff. Check it out.

Fabolous- Return of Mr Fab


Some new by Fab. Again, for you Paul G. Enjoy this and I'll see you at 6 for wings and beer lol. 
Hopefully this means that Fab really is back, I'd like to hear another studio album from him. He's got a huge fanbase so he'd be crazy not to get back in.

Sheek Louch & Styles P- Get It In Freestyle


This is hot. Sounds like old D-Block music, just talking bout guns and stuff lol. Not that violence is good, but at least D-Block sticks with their guns, pun intended I guess? Styles has such a hard flow, his word emphasis is sick. Always been a fan of the ghost.

Camron- Cookies & Apple Juice


Ill beat on this and Ill flow from Killa! The kid cam is back after his relatively long hiatus. Excited for his next album though. Cookies taste awful with apple juice though, in my opinion lol.

Kid Cudi- Drop 09 Freestyle


I love this beat, and cudi is SICK. You know he does this Polow beat right. I've been waiting for more artists to hop on this beat. I'm glad Cudi made it happen. Wild flow on this.

Kanye West Ft. T-Pain. Flight School


So Here is the deal with this gem. Kanye and t-pain recorded it, and GLC was supposed to spit on this track. It got leaked before GLC could spit so here is the version without GLC just t-pain and kanye

Long ass interview with the boy drake! check it out.

Big remix right here. Seems like Busta started the huge, star studded remix, since he's on every one. Oh yeah, NORE got arrested today for starting a fight over at Fat Burger in Miami today. He threw a drink is some mans face lol.

Nike Dunk Mid Sb Sea Crystal


I saw these posted on Nikesb.org, and the site said that these may possibly release this summer. This colorway may seem bland, but to a longtime Sb fan, you will definitely remember the Sea Crystal highs which dropped several years back (They now go for an upwards of $450 on flightclub). Bringing back different versions of the older, more basic SBs is a cool idea in my opinion. Nike SB was strongest during it's first few years. Keep the clean colorways coming Nikesb! More pics at Nikesb.org

Supra NS Spring 2009 Collection


The full collection now shown. I'm really feeling the entire collection. The three colors are all great, but very different. The grey suede looks very interesting on the NS Strapped model. The bronze perforated full grain leather is a very interesting tone. It is almost like a vintage version of the super bright gold Supras that have dropped previously. All three colors are not quite as crazy, which I have noticed as a trend for most designers this season. Definitely a strong pack from Supra, now my favorite footwear brand. Some great detail pics over at highsnobiety.

T.I. Featuring Kobe- This Is Detox (I Am Hip-Hop)


Sick track by Tip Harris. He's definitely doing his thing right now, I hope it keeps him out of prison lol.

Friday, February 20, 2009

Kid Cudi feat Wale- Look Up In The Stars


I'm always excited when I see a new Cudi track posted. The kid sings, raps, freestyles, he is really on a different level. Definitely one of the break through, genre-bending artists this year. Sick beat on this and Wale is nice himself. 

The Dream feat Kanye West- Walkin On The Moon


.... Killer collabo right here. Sick beat. This is epic. You know who had it first...

Youn Buck- What Ever


Wild flow from Buck on this track. I've always been a fan of buck, I think he's underrated. Crazy beat on this too. 

The Dream- Sweat It Out


Hot R&B right here. His album sounds like its gonna be sick. First nice R&b album in a while (Until Trey's album drops of course!).

Jae Millz- Injured Reserve


Some new from Jae millz... It's been a minute since anything other than collabos from this guy. 

Ya Boy Feat Lil Wayne- Oh My


Fresh collabo right here. Sick beat on this. 

Drake Interview at Complex Mag


A good interview where Drake discusses everything from leasing a Phantom to his label affiliations. Check it out Here!

Trey Songz- Brand New


Some fresh new Songz! Don't worry this isn't him singing over one of the million songs with the same title. The kids nice, but he's on a brief one week hiatus I guess. Get back to work Trey

Kanye West and Kid Cudi Raw Spittin' on 106

Both of them went HARD
Enjoy

Everyone Should Be Jealous Of....



One of Nick and I's best bro's Mr. Vin Balducci. Who got to meet the man Mr. West himself in Soho today. Yeezy was coming out of the Prada store with his new girl. Who rocks short hair but is still kinda sexy... even though she used to be a video ho )=


Props for the picture Vin. You are the man

Diddy Hops On The Auto-Tune Bandwagon....


I dont know how we feel about this. Diddy's new album which is slated for an early fall release and titled "last train to paris" will be heavily using the t-pain auto-tune effect. Can he pull it off?

Here is a snippet of one of the songs he has recorded. Honestly I dont think he can use the auto-tune.
CLICK HERE

Colin Munroe Feat Young Buck- I'm Fine


Nice track right here, real smooth. Munroe delivers! He's definitely doing his thing while retaining his own genre-bending, unique style.

Jadakiss- Magic City


My boy haz reccomended that I post this. Here it is my boy! Pretty fresh right here, nice seein jada back in action.

Dre Dre Feat Nas- Topless


When I was a young boy (so it feels like) there was this legendary album that was to be released called Detox. It was gonna be put out by NWA-man, mr Chronic himself, THE Dr. Dre. This album has been in the works for years, and I'm just waiting on it. Part of me wonders if it will ever drop. 
This track was ghostwritten by the one-man militia, arms race winner T.I. Which shows how the rubberband man is revered in the rap game. It's a classic, don't miss it.

Nostalgia....


Wow, if my boy upstairs doesn't buy this for his Xbox 360, I will definitely have to. This disk includes 40 Sega Genesis classics, including Sonic the Hedgehog, probably one of my favorite games ever made. What a wonderful idea to bring back the best thing from our childhood! It's only $30 also, so how could you miss this?

Jay Rock- I Be On The Block


Nice production by Bangladesh here, but the looping of a short phrase used in rap (A Milli, Diva, Etc.) is getting tired. Luckily the chorus is short on this. I could see this track blow up on the radio and BET. Jay Rocks got a nice flow too, I love his track "All My Life", which was rapped over by many artists.

Rick Ross- What Comes Around Goes Around


Nice beat on this 50 diss track, but for god sakes Ross, why waste a beat by talkin for four minutes? Having to air out your problems on a track instead of rapping about it is admitting defeat in my opinion. I don't think the diss tracks will end anytime soon, however. These two should make a 10 disk compilation together on their disses going back and forth lol. 

Supra NS 2009 Burgundy Pack


Fresh burgundy patent leather colorway for the Suprano, Skytop and the Strapped NS. The black laces and accents look great on the patent leather. Great perforated leather sections on the shoes also. I'm feelin em. Get em now at 413.

Kid Cudi Freestyle With DJ Reflex


the kids nice, check him out for yourself.

Nate Robinson "KryptoNate" foamposites



I'm sure everyone at least saw highlights from the Dunk contest. Nate Robsinson was superhuman when he dunked over Dwight Robinson. Nate is only 5" 7.75', Howard is 6'11". Amazing. Well the shoes he changed into for the second round of the contest are for sale on ebay right now. Go cop a piece of history! get em here!

Nike Dunk Low SB Custom "Bloody Lazy" by Lazything


A great looking, clean custom dropping from Lazything. Their customs are always fresh. I posted the jailbreaker customs awhile ago, and these are just as nice. As usual, super-limited edition, only 6 pairs will be released on February 22nd. Nicest pair of any SBs I've seen in quite some time. More pics at highsnobiety.

Charles Hamilton- Every Charles Hamilton's Ex-girlfriend's Worse Nightmare Mixtape


I'm speechless... another mixtape? His last one dropped on monday! and before that last thursday. That's alot of material!!! This kid is impressing me, let's hope he drops a studio album eventually. Every song is named after a girl, this should be an interesting concept. He uses several loops from Kanye's 808s and Heartbreaks. He does a fantastic job in my opinion.

He's Baaaaack


Most people sleep on this dude right here. He was written songs such as Rihanna (“Umbrella”), Mariah Carey (“Touch My Body”), J. Holiday (“The Bed,” “Suffocate”), and Beyoncé (“Single Ladies”)... His name is The-Dream, and while he had a damn near classic first album. This second album is going to reach a new level.

Here is a little writeup from Defjam and the tracklisting

Executive produced by Island Def Jam chairman Antonio “L.A.” Reid and co-produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart with Carlos "LOS" McKinney, LOVE vs. MONEY is a futuristic mix of radio bangin’ hooks that define this era as much as The-Dream’s hero Sam Cooke defined the ’60s and Prince defined the ’80s. “The LOVE vs. MONEY songs are rife with layered vocals, sensual yet comical lyrics and wall-shaking bass,” wrote Billboard last month. “‘Sweat It Out’ concerns a night of lovemaking, while ‘Let Me See the Booty’ boasts strip club-ready lyrics while Lil’ Jon provides his trademark yelling in the background.” In addition to Lil’ Jon, the only other guests on the album are Kanye West (“Walkin' On The Moon”) and Mariah Carey (“My Love”).

The final track listing for LOVE vs. MONEY is as follows:
1. Rockin' That Thang
2. Walkin' On The Moon" featuring Kanye West
3. My Love featuring Mariah Carey
4. Put It Down
5. Sweat It Out
6. Take U Home 2 My Mama
7. Love Vs. Money
8. Love Vs. Money: Part 2
9. Fancy
10. Right Side Of My Brain
11. Mr. Yeah
12. Kelly's 12 Play
13. Let Me See The Booty featuring Lil Jon
14. Touch & Feel
15. Nothing But Love

Air Jordan 1 Retro High "Do The Right Thing" Pack


Some clean colorways for the Jordan 1. Scheduled for a July 2009 drop. These are being put out for the 20th anniversary of Spike Lee's film. The colorways are a metallic sea-green and white as well as a metallic varsity red and white colorway. Clean and retro looking, the way Jordan 1s are meant to be. They will be $105, a great price considering most other Jordan releases. Pic via sneakerfiles.

On The Set Of the "Every Girl" Video

I had no idea Wayne was doing a Young Money album and making videos for it. Good shit though, I love this track.

Drake- Congratulations


ALRIGHT! Another Drake track. This time a bonus off the CD version of So Far Gone.

**Video Of The Year** Kanye West-Welcome To Heartbreak

**FRESHEST OUT EXCLUSIVE** Asher Roth- Silly Boy


Asher comes with the fire as usual. Most of you know him from I love College but he is a great rapper... his new album should be legendary. he dismisses the eminem comparsions as well

"And that Eminem comparison
is barely accurate/ my rappins is as
passionate/but lacks the psychopath of it"

Charles Hamilton- Dj Skee Presents Death of The Mixtape Rapper


Just so you know, this dropped last year (September 2, 2008). I personally was sleeping I guess, cuz I listerally just downloaded this today. Since C. Hamilton is causing such a buzz, and I'm sure most of you never downloaded this, I figured I'd post it today. This tape is pretty tight, it includes Hamilton rapping over some fantastic instrumentals (A Milli, Dead Presidents, 50 Cent's "Fire", Hip-Hop Saved My Life, Sky Is The Limit, as well as a few others). Since he rarely uses more than one or two instrumentals that aren't self produced these days, this must've been when he was new to producing. It's cool to see how he has progressed though, so definitely check this out if you haven't heard it yet.

Undefeated Spring 2009 Lookbook


Some nice pieces from UNDFTD for this spring. I'm really feeling that crewneck sweatshirt and the grey track jacket. Check out more pics at highsnobiety!

Joe Budden- In My Sleep


2nd single of Joe Budden's forthcoming album, the Padded Room. I can't stop playing this track, it is fire. The much anticipated album droppin on my b-day, Tuesday the 24th. This album should be sick. This is poetry right here.

Charles Hamilton- My Brain Is Alive Mixtape



Damn, thats all I gotta say. Hamilton dropped "well isn't this akward" at the end of last week. He is dropping another at the beginning of this week. This kid is HUNGRY! I gotta respect that. He's putting out ungodly amounts of material, and it's all good. Charles Hamilton knows what hes doin.

Thefreshestout presents: Dan Hoffay: The Hoffstra III Mixtape


Shit I was excited for Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3, I was excited for Drake's mixtape also, but this really takes the cake. Local legend mr. Red-hair, Don't care himself Dan Hoffay just wrapped up his epic Debut HIII. This will be album of the year and will probably outdo the most sold album of 2008, The Carter III by at least 15 million. Make no mistake, Hofstra's voice will be ringing in the ears of ever bogie's loving Chubbie's going female in albany (Great deals on beer and mixed drinks provided by The King of All that tend bars, Sir Douglas Terry himself). 

The tracklist has leaked on this masterpiece! The tracks are as follows: 
1. Hoffanizer Remix
2. Swagger Like Hoff 
3. If I Were A Hoff (Feat. Beyonce)
4. Viva La Hofstra
5. How Could You Be So Hoff-like (Feat. Mr. West)
6. Pocketfull Of Hoffay
7. Crank That Hoffay Boy
8. When Hoff Grows Up
9. Big Hoffs Don't Cry (Feat. Former Crystal Meth Addict Fergie)
10. Walk Into The Club, Hey Hoffay

And Bonus Track
Come and Get You Hoffay Wet (Produced by Keith "Sully" Sullivan)
