Let It Breeze

Knaan has a voice filled with soul, history and experience. Born into this world with the name of Kanaan Warsame and into a family of musicians and poets. Sounds like a perfect combo for a musician that I want streaming through my speakers. He was brought into the world during the Somali civil war which was chaos to say the least and I feel like it framed his soul somehow because it's full of melodies that you can close your eyes to and get goosepimples. You should try it. He has come out with 4 albums so far one of which dropped in 09'. Check out the tracks below, Take a Minute is real tight btw so check it.

Knaan - Wavin' Flag

Santilicious

Recently Terry Urban has been preparing to release a very unique mixtape name SouthernGold. This is essentially a mixtape filled with some very well put together mashups using the instrumentals from Santigold's songs and popular hip/hop tracks featuring artists such as Pitbull, Andre 3000, T-Pain, Wayne, Officer Riiiicky, The Dream, Jeezy and many more. Downtown records sent Urban a cease and decist email telling him not to release this mixtape but as usual the mixtape made its way out onto the airstreams of the internet. In doing so he is trying to promote Santi and send her songs to every corner of the music world. I don't know what Downtown was thinking, this is only promotion for them but I guess in turn the controversy they have stirred up has made people just as aware of Santi. Anyways if you wanna read more about the halt on the mixtape click the "Terry Urban" link above. If you're trying to get your filthy hands on this mixtape then head on over to the following and scroll down...
Still Tippin' It (Ft. Slim Thug & Mike Jones) - Santigold
It's Fire

DIRTY

The folder that you'll download is a .rar file and if you're on a mac you'll need this app to extract it. If you're running windows then I think it's this program but you might need to google for it.

Introducing: Token Black Guy



LOL Token Black Guy. But this guys is dopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. First time I've heard of him, but this song is extremely catchy and his sound has hints of a little bit of Outkast and Kanye. The video itself is extremely creative and well done, so check this gem out.

D.O.A.


It's Cha Boyyyy! New Hov, song subject only about a year too late, but at least it got done. In recent years, I feel like Jay-z has fallen off, verses getting worse, beat selection no where near reasonable doubt level. But he goes in here and there's no shortage of dope lyrics.

"I know we facing a Recession, but the music y'all making gonna make it the Great Depression"

Death of Autotune- Jay-Z(prod. by No I.D.)


"COP IT"
Shoutout to 2Dopeboyz

And you best believe he's got two capital letters in his first name

LOL Reading Raindow. 1st off new Mickey Factz and Kid Cudi banger followed up by a track off of Mos Def's new album Esctatic, which is out now depending on where you look for it. And at last, although not a huge fan of him, some new Charles Hamilton, where he spits some depressing shit but I like both the beat and CH on it. Happy Friday everyone.


Do My Do- Mickey Factz ft. Kid Cudi


History- Mos Def ft. Talib Kweli


Reminder- Charles Hamilton
