Another week down the hole...
and what an interesting week...
wow, that was crazy unbelievable eh? LOL. In any case, I have a load of music to hit you with; let's stop the nonsense and get invovled:
01/
Omarion " " [
taken from Nappy's , this one is possibly the most beautiful mix he has done. They pianos Tes La Rok used, that bassline - it just vibes so well with not only Omarion's vocals, but the whole vibe of his lyrics. Check it out..

02/
J Past Donnie Blake " " [
Taken from J Past Donnie Blake's album, J drops 3 of his dopest instrumentals underneath the classic 2 Pac/Big L/Biggie Smalls gem of a track, "Deadly Combination". Nice mix.]
03/
Birdman Lil' Wayne " " [
I can't help it; I see all the time, and Weezy's first verse always makes me laugh, esp. when he gets into that "my rag always red, just like when them ho's bleed"... ridic.

04/
Limewax " " [
you gotta love . Dylan this is never getting a proper release, and there might be MORE Freak stuff dropping on MP3 in the future...
HEAVY TUNE BTW, not for the faint of heart...

05/
Stephen Marley ft.
Damian Marley Buju Banton " " [
big track. Told you guys about this last week. VH1 Soul still rinsing ...
sans Buju, for some reason. Loving that beatbox/dancehall hybrid.

06/
Die Clipz " " [
Die Clipz bring back that old double bass sound for this one. Why, who knows, but they seem to link up and bring that revival sound. The flipside is the , which is kind of dumb if you ask me.

07/
Breakage " " [
long awaited 12" from Breakage on Digital Soundboy. Very heavy dub stylings on this one, with some nice snare hits. Deep vibes on this one, a step out of the normal dancefloor ready grooves, which is great for the label.
]
08/
Bass Clef " " [
taken from 's , this one rocks loads of 808 sounds inna dubstep/grime zone, which works very well. It's actually a lil more straight up Dub, wacked out, than anything else. Don't sleep.
]
09/
Gridlok " " [
Gridlok came correct with the of his Break The System
LP, and this is probably one of the more interesting numbers on it. It comes on as straight up fuzzbox downtempo stylings, but then delves deeper, into some grimey, amen-smashing techfunk. Honestly, I liked pt. 1 of this LP much more, but this LP does have its moments.

10/
Mr. Vegas ft.
Lexus " " [
that "Taxi Fare" chorus shit kills me. Dancehall MCs and singers have such a mastery of melody, its crazy. It doesn't hurt to have this Mission Impossible/Knight Rider guitar sounding thing in there. I had this on repeat yesterday morn.
I hope Jitesh digs the dancehall CD I made for him...
11/
Tube " " [
I don't expect a lot of you to know who Tube is, or have heard his 1997 CD , but back then I was all about the Jungle Sky/Home Entertainment labels. His CD was pure jungle noodling, but had that IDM twist to get it out on HOE. This one, I rocked the shit out of this track when I was at LaSalle. There was an alley not too far from the tennis courts that we dubbed "Crack Alley" because it looked straight out of the Trenton crack dens...
anyways, I was bouncing to this track and created a dance I cannot remember called the "Crack Alley Shuffle". Those were the days..
. Anyways, this one is a hectic number. Has a sick groove, but you gotta get into it first.
Get committed lol.

12/
Joulz Il " " [
this is from current from Dallas, TX, Joulz Il. Interview with him is DONE and coming to rock the dub NEXT WEEK. This is more of a club banger, but he has a load of other tracks for you to dissect. Shouts to ; we teasing you for next week..

For some Hip-Hop beef/drama/album sale talk, check out from NahRight. Anytime
50 Cent is on Hot97, it's a treat, and this one might go down in the record books: not only did he discuss Koch shit with both

Jim Jones to plug everything, including an "urban

Since Nas gave the MCs some, I figured, why not give the producers and DJs some?
