New Track: Wale ft. J. Cole - Bad Girls Club [Hip-Hop]
I heard a snippet of this track last week, but I did not want to be a complete tease. Luckliy it only took a week for the full track to surface. Wale's collaboration with J.Cole, "Bad Girls Club," is dope. There is not much more I can say. Both emcees kill their verses over Cole's produced beat.
Look out for a video for this track. Bad Girls get low right now!
Drake Takes care of himself in October..
XXL Mag has confirmations from several reps about Drake's second album "Take Care" release date - October 24, 2011. This is following a buzz yesterday after he tweeted "10242011." However this date is also Drakes birthday....hmmmm. A shout out to himself maybe?
This guy is tease.
We will just have to wait it out.

New EP: Onitsuka Tiger Presents: Nippon Sounds By Donnis
Last week I posted a first impression of Donnis in conjunction with his new found Japanese-based producers Nippon Sounds powered by Onitsuka Tiger. Now, the full project has gone live and it features interesting collaborations with three of Japan’s most exciting producers and DJs: De De Mouse, Joe Iron and Taku Takahashi. Listen & Download the project after the jump!
25-year-old Rapper Donnis may hail from the hip-hop hotbed of Atlanta, Georgia, but his musical journey began in Tokyo, Japan. While stationed in Japan with the U.S. Air Force, Donnis’ eyes were opened to Tokyo’s vibrant music scene. Inspired to begin recording his music at the base, Donnis soon received the attention of influential DJ Masterkey, who helped the young MC land high-profile opening gigs for visiting hip-hop acts from the U.S.Personally, I think these producers are too good for Donnis. Props to him for heading to Japan to work with the talents there, but the only thing lacking on this tape is Donnis. Don't get me wrong, he has potential and his hooks suit these compositions, but I just think his vocals are not up to par with the beats....oh well, this will give major buzz for the Japanese producers in the western world.
As part of the Made of Japan initiative, Onitsuka Tiger curated a cross-cultural musical collaboration between Donnis and three of Japan’s most exciting producers and DJs: De De Mouse, Joe Iron and Taku Takahashi. Dubbed Nippon Sounds, the free collaborative EP features original music and remixes from Donnis that bring Atlanta and Japan together in way that has never been heard before.
HYPE!
Props to HT.
New Mashup: The Hood Internet - All Of The Lights (Ellie Goulding Vs. Portland Cello Project Vs. Kanye West)
Mashup experts, The Hood Internet returns with another gem. Here they mix Portland Cello Project’s rendition of the Kanye West’s "All of the Lights" and Ellie Goulding's vocals from "Lights". Both Great Songs which make this a mashup you do not want to sleep on!
Download via soundcloud below!
Ellie Goulding's songs seems to always be in some kind of a refix or mashup, but most turn out well. She's just got one of those voices, definitely one of my favourite female artists of last year.
New Track: Balam Acab – Apart [Post-Dub]
Post-dub, left-sided R&B, electronic. It's becoming a 'thing' now with acts like James Blake, Clams Casino and How To Dress Well. Here is a new-be Balam Acab. His sound is really visual and almost makes you feel like you're underwater. The new album Wander / Wonder will drop on September 6.
Video: Asher Roth - Summertime (ft. Quan)
The track came out a few weeks back, but here is Asher roth out of college with his new visuals for the anthem for the current season in the northern hemisphere, Summertime. It is produced by Nottz and features Quan - which was a nice surprise to see him again... haven't heard from the Queens rapper in 6 years or so.
Nice and laid-back.

H.o.o.d, Ace HOOOOOOOOD is back with a single off his new album Blood, Sweat & Tears out August 19th. Here he gets of his hustle grind, to get on another type of grind. "Body 2 body" is that regular female dedicated track that every rapper has featuring a current R&B male on the hook - in this case, it's C. Breezy...oh and it's produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E LEAGUE. Saweeet.
