1982: "You Should Go Home" ft. Bun B and Masspike Miles
1982 (Termanology and Statik Selektah) drops a song to tell the girls that it's time for just the boys. Closed Sessions alum Bun B hops on the track along with Masspike Miles' chillingly smooth vocals. Despite the song's subject, I'm sure the females will like it independent of their feelings on the issue at hand. This is yet another song off of Termanology and Statik Selektah's upcoming 1982 which is set to drop on October 26.
Mike Dreams: "Any Day Now"
Here's an artist who deserves some additional publicity. Nobody's heard much from Mike Dreams since his DJBooth.net sponsored LP, Dreamer's Poetry. Mike Dreams makes a beautiful, full sounding song about getting what he's been working so hard for. This is off of his upcoming mixtape, How to Make it in America. Cop the track below.
Lupe Fiasco on Lasers and Food & Liquor II Delays
Lupe's Lasers was slated to be released in 2009 but now it seems like we might never get a chance to listen to it. As someone who has been looking forward to a bunch of new Lupe material for a while, reading this interview was a bit rough. Make the jump to read the full interview and/or an important but mildly depressing snippet.
Wiz Khalifa: "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Taylor" Video
Wiz goes over the Geto Boys classic to give you visuals and lyrics that give a look into his life. The video is simplistic and the song sticks to what you'd expect as far as the sound goes until later when Wiz breaks into a sing-song delivery reminiscent of "This Plane" and most recently "Black and Yellow". Watch the video after the jump.
Chiddy Bang: "F**k You" Remix
It's official, Chiddy Bang has taken over RH. They are the latest to flip the Cee-Lo internet phenom of a song, speeding up the track and letting Chiddy make it his own. The track gets killed as Chidera drops great line after great line without really changing the initial feel of the song.
"Knew that my words were raspy, Certified CPA/This for the professors who wouldn't help my GPA/I be all fly, When's my ETA?/Man, love my haters, this is PDA"
These kids are absolutely killing it right now. This is yet another drop off of The Preview. Download this track below.
Chiddy Bang: "The Good Life"
And some more Chiddy Bang for you...Sadly, their debut album is not due out until 2011 but they've got some material to stay on the minds of their listeners. They are releasing a mini-album called The Preview which is due out in October and now we've got a sneak peak at a Pharrell Williams produced track from the new project. The song definitely has a different feel than a lot of their other music (typically choppy and more indie sounding) but it sounds incredible with Pharrell's 808-synth and smoother instrumentals.
And what about the duo's future?
"We've got grand ideas, like trying to bring in ?uestlove from the Roots to drum on some stuff, trying to bring in Black Thought from the Roots to oversee the project, give us some guidance, because he's been a mentor to us for the longest."

Canibus: "Merchant of Metaphors"
Canibus dropped this one to hold listeners over until C of Tranquility releases on October 5 on Interdependent Media. This song is the second single off of the album. Canibus tells a story and a delivers vicious lyrics in a style that I've come to expect from him. The album will have production from DJ Premier, Jake One, Scram Jones, The ARE (producer of this track), and more. Download the track below
John Regan: "Paint the World" ft. PackFM
Graffiti is often viewed in a negative light but to me, graffiti is just another means for art to pervade another facet of our lives. I've always been a fan of graffiti, especially of Banksy's satirical and often politically charged work. John Regan definitely is a graffiti fan and he lets you in his head in his first single off of John Regan's debut album, Sorry I'm Late. The album is due out October 12th and is going to have features from some impressive names such as Joell Ortiz, Kidz in the Hall, Skyzoo, and more. Download the track after the jump.
