Nefarious! "For The Night Time" Beat Tape
It's almost a rarity that you find someone who can constantly make beats that sound great. Nefarious! is one of them. How do you know? When I listen to beats, if I can imagine a rapper who would be perfect and almost envision the song that is going on with that beat, I know that this guy has done something great. For The Night Time is 7 beats that are suprisingly free. If you are a true music head the project is up for purchase for only $5 so throw away that foot long from Subway and eat this.

Kanye West ft. Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Raekwon, & Charlie Wilson- Lord Lord Lord
Kanye continues on his G.O.O.D. Friday trend even though Runaway with Pusha T got leaked out to the public. He teams up with my personal favorite, Mos Def. Gets Raekwon to be Bieber-less on this track. Swizz is here to do whatever it is got him Alicia Keys and her baby and then Charlie Wilson is also on here because well are there G.O.O.D. music songs without Charlie Wilson? Kanye seems to have a Wilson man crush at the moment. Anyway even though it is Saturday here and Kanye is on his own time zone, enjoy the song. Leave what you think about Kanye latest endeavor, or his sweet covers for these songs.
Hearing Mos Def rap on a track is just amazing. This is the guy that I got into rap on and I have never looked back. Swizz Beatz honestly doesn't belong in this group at all. I would have taken a Common verse rather than that. This guy Kanye said I have better verses then your whole albums. He can honestly go no wrong right now. This song goes along sort of a little baby of Good Friday and Devil In A New Dress to give us a nice soulful rapping track that you would usually find from the names on this record.

Illecism x Carlton Banks: "Swing My Way"
Fly High is back again, and with some more dope music. This time it was Fly High's Carlton Banks who teams up with Illecism to drop this new track, which takes KP and Envyi's classic and switches it up to their style. Together they create a song that is a definite sit back, relaxing song that puts you in that state of mind. The beat and girl singing in the background draws your attention into that and then when they start rapping it taps into that mental that has been opened up easily.

Das Racist ft. Chairlift- Fashion Party
With it being confirmed that they have another project that is coming to us shortly titled Sit Down, Man. Das Racist is proving themselves to be a force to be reckoned with. Their rapping style is original and is something that is so easy to get into. There was a version of this song that came out a while ago but it was a rough draft and it looks like Das Racist went back and finished this bad boy to be on Sit Down, Man. You would never think that you would be listening to a rap song that featured iPod fame Chairlift but here we are. That is Das Racist. They are the unexpected but they take over your mind. This song really gives me a late 80's early 90's feel and then Das Racist funks it up. I love it.
