Going Crazy For New Lauryn?
New music via 730 n 'them:
- Forget trying to fight it, the Snowman's movement is undeniable: Young Jeezy feat. Jay-Z & Fat Joe "Go Crazy (remix)"
- Ax "100 to 1"- this is the most lyrically creative hip hop record in a long time and has been heating up Hot 97 mixshows for a few weeks now. The East needs more joints like this if they're gonna have any shot at loosening the South's stronghold on hip hop right now.
“These records are critical to every DJ's collection and no DJ should attempt to spin without them.” - Hip Hop Roots, the Tom Silverman exec-produced collection of classic breakbeats featuring never-before-heard special, DJ-friendly re-edits by the Legendary DJ Jazzy Jay is a go August 23rd. Check it:
- James Brown “Give It Up or Turn It Loose”
- Lyn Collins feat the JB’s “Think (About It)”
- Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band “Express Yourself”

That joint I'm hearing on Flex "Put Your Lighters Up" - is that new Lauryn Hill spittin'? It's fccking crazy whoever did it. Almost sounds like a Dre beat too. I need a link on that STAT. (Update: never mind, apparently it's Lil Kim?!! Holy Schnikey - getting convicted on federal perjury charges appears to have done wonders for Kim's creative abilities.)
And 'cos I'm now a little biased:
- The Land Of The Rising Sun Loves Kellz! (related: Cliffs Notes for R. Kelly's "Trapped In The Closet" | Harry Potter: Trapped in the Closet, Under the Stairs | Funkdigi links to the SIMS: R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet")
- Noah "Dat Boy Chevy" new Down South heater soon to blow.
- A couple of stills from the set of T-Pain's "I'm Sprung" video.
- I've said it before but don't sleep on Raheem DeVaughn's The Love Experience album. Click and listen:
- "The Love Experience"
- "Guess Who Loves You More" (real | win | win video)
- "Who"
- "Until"
- "Is It Possible"
Look for Raheem live on The Jimmy Kimmel Show next week.
