Friday mp3 round-up...
I'ma try for tomorrow on the long-promised commentary about that now infamous "Best of Both Worlds" show at MSG last week (and to post the Hook DVD contest).
"Look out for Detox" (hiphopgame.com)
Mp3's via TTLab:
- Amerie "One Thing" - not quite "Crazy in Love" but this is hot-to-delphia. Yo, was baby girl's first album worth copping 'cos I ain't gonna front, more I hear from her, the more I like her voice?
- Usher "Ride" - the new king of pop flips a joint with production that sounds like vintage 45 King/Flavor Unit steez - seriously.
Via hiphopgame.com:
- Jae Millz "Street Meltin'" - Swizz is back! (though he never left to me).
And more mp3's via the Bum Squad and (as usual) hiphophavoc.com
Basically (just about) B-grade Dirty South Ridaz music but exceeds the (pretty low) expectations you'd have for an album (exec)-produced by boxer Roy Jones Jr. - Body Head Bangerz Vol. 1 feat. Juvie, Youngbloodz, Fiend, UGK, Lil Flip, BG and, hip hop blogger fave, Mike Jones (who?!). Probably for afficionados only.
Props to Too Far books for the agressive street marketing plan handing out advance copies of their Wild Animus over the summer in Union Sq. and in Chelsea. Too bad I never read the book but maybe this plug'll help'em now that the book's out.
And check out Black literature via Random House's Black Ink newsletter.
I'm out. Maybe I'll see some of y'all tonight at BB King's?
