    New Music: Drake – Paris Morton Music

    [Audio clip: view full post to listen] The rise of Drizzy Drake has been spectacular. Going from child star to mixtape rapper to having his image on a plane (all while doing it his way) needs to be documented. And even though his debut album, Thank Me Later, has been getting mixed reviews, he’s still [...]

    Remixed: Alicia Keys x Drake – Unthinkable

    Drake lends more than background vocals to this remix of Alicia Keys’  R&B banger “Unthinkable”. Although I’m still on the fence with Drake, I  find his paring with Alicia to be very compatible. I would definitely be interested in hearing more of the two together. Peep out the song below.

    VIDEO: Drake – Find Your Love

    To be honest, I don’t want to be in Drake’s shoes right now. After essentially killing the game with his mixtape– spawning 2 hit singles in addition to his contributions to Young Money–there are huge expectations for his album release. Even though we’re convinced that he should not release an album, Thank Me Later is [...]

    New Music: Birdman – Money To Blow (DJ Dials Joy Orbison Hyph Mingo edit)

    Birdman – Money To Blow (DJ Dials Joy Orbison Hyph Mingo edit) Hat tip to my homie Lennis Tomb from TGRI for this one. One of the things I love about the EDM community is that they tend to do rather amazing remixes of top 40 hip-hop albums. While the current notion of “remix” in [...]

    VIDEO: Drake – Over

    I’m still not liking this single as good as “Successful,” or “Best I Ever Had,” but it’s growing on me. What do y’all think?

    Best Radio Single of 2009: Jay-Z feat. Alecia Keys – Empire State of Mind

    2009 was one of the first years in a long time that I actually listened to the radio. People think that I hate pop music, and that’s not the case. I love pop music, I just hate hearing the same 5 songs every 5 minutes on the radio. And since I get a lot of [...]

    Reader Best of 2010: Diego (aka DVMilla)

    Name: Diego Location: Harlem, NYC Follow On Twitter Drake – So Far So Gone The best “Hip-Hop” album/mixtape of the year, hands down. Drake’s carefully constructed lyrics and music selection is one of the best in a while. The mixtape certainly had the feeling of an actual album. That just shows Drake’s level of passion [...]

    Drake – Runaway Girl feat. Colin Munroe [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Drake has had some of the best production I’ve heard from any mainstream hip-hop dude this decade, and he continues that streak with our homie Colin Munroe. Amazing. Nuff Said.
