Mike Tyson: "One Night In Bangkok"
Yeah you read that right and yes it is THAT Mike Tyson but I thought this was too funny to pass on. This will appear on The Hangover Part II's Official Soundtrack and with the movie coming out in a matter of days what better then to blast some Mike Tyson and get ready for the craziness that the film will bestow. But going back to the song and looking that it is...Mike Tyson it isn't half bad. We may be seeing the resurrection of a career right before our eyes, well not really but if OJ Da Juiceman is still around why not.
[Video] Kreayshawn: "Gucci Gucci"
Swag. At first listen I was skeptical but I think it is safe to say that now after multiple listens I really like this song. Just a little bit for those who aren't up, Kreayshawn is out of Oakland, California and as you can see she in the picture, she runs in the same circles as OddFuture and Lil B. At first look you might just think oh another girl rapper great, and believe me I did the same but this is one of the first ones in a long time that I could actually listen to. So swag yourself out, click play and enjoy the shit out of this track. Kreayshawn is a musical love child of Amy Winehouse, Lil B and M.I.A. and I think is ready to finally take the female throne away from the garbage that is Nicki Minaj in the rap world.
Now I don't know if you heard me right, I mean you need to turn up your volume all the way and get wild. Also next time you are gifted to be the DJ somewhere, at a party, your car, wherever you get the idea...play this song and it will no undoubtedly probably maybe get you laid.
[Video] Chiddy Bang: "Peanut Butter & Swelly" Trailer
Chiddy Bang is coming back again and coming back soon. I know in my eyes Chiddy Bang slipped a little bit since their red hot start and a lot of their most recent music I couldn't get into as much. From the sound of the song in the trailer it looks like they might be back to their old tricks and boy do I hope so. Peanut Butter & Swelly drops May 27th over at IllRoots so be on the lookout.
[Video] YP: "Something Inside Of Me"
I think it is safe to say that by now all of you should be familiar with YP. If not well then you really need to just stop what you are doing and start listening right now. This video is for "Something Inside Of Me" which is off of YP's most recent project No Sleep which was brought to you by who else but us. YP is that dude, through his music and in person. His music stands on its own and just pressing play will get you hooked no matter what track you pick. I do recommend "Something New" featuring Freddie Gibbs though because that song might be easily one of my favorite rap songs of all time and I sincerely mean that. YP has a line in that song that I live everyday by. But back to business, right down below you can check out the video for "Something Inside Of Me" right below and if you like what you hear....well I know that will happen so you can also grab No Sleep in its entirety right here as well.

Rickie Jacobs: "My Generation"
I have been on Rickie Jacobs for a while. To see the guy finally just clicking with his music and putting out fire after fire that ears are finally clicking on is great.

I don't think I can get enough of this track and Rickie has been putting out some serious fire over the past couple of weeks. He is gracing all your favorite blogs and well now he is right here as well. So pop on some Rickie Jacobs, pour yourself a little champagne and celebrate summer approaching. Grab My Generation right below.
[Video] The Airplane Boys: "Born To Be"
For those who haven't heard of The Airplane Boys yet, they are a hiphop group coming straight from Toronto, Canada. Not to streamline them but their songs give a ton of vibes to fellow Canadian Drake along with The Weeknd, where ILLANGELO had his hand in producing this whole project that they have just put out. After giving it a quick listen there are some tracks that definitely show a lot of promise but at the same time there are some that I couldn't really get into at all. Born to Be is one of those standouts and getting to watch the amazing visual that they put together while checking out the song is definitely a plus. The Airplane Boys are definitely someone to keep your eye on. Check out the video for Born To Be right below. Also if you like what you hear you can download their latest mixtape Where've You Been right here as well.
Uno Hype: "CB4"
I found out about Uno Hype only a week ago and I'm already digging all around the interwebs searching for more of his music. I was sent CB4 earlier this week and after simply playing it once I knew that I had stumbled on something special. Uno Hype is a 17 year old coming right out of Maryland and is gearing up for his sophomore release From The Ground Up where CB4 stands as the first single off of it. If you call yourself a fan of hiphop and can't get into this song I'll buy you something. Grab CB4 right below.
DMX: "Get Your Money Up" (Prod. Swizz Beatz)
Yes is all I can say to this one. I think we are all very familiar with DMX's fall from grace over the course of his career but I think it is safe to say there was a day where it was completely acceptable to blast DMX at unhealthy levels and just spazz out. He used to make straight out jams with Swizz back in the day and Get Your Money Up is probably one of the last good things from a fallen angel. Swizz outdid himself on this beat and for two minutes and twenty seconds I am allowed to re-live 7th grade. I know you want this. How can you not?
