R&B Any Way You Want It....
Chris Brown "One More Chance" - why the f-ck wasn't this track on his just-certified platinum album?! This ish is incredible. (note: reg. may be required to access this mp3 link)
Nicole Wray feat. Mike Jones "It's A Man's World" - great R&B jack of "Still Tippin'." Copped from the Bombay Sapphire Lounge promo CD sampler being given out at the Sa-Ra show last night along with...
Camp Lo "I Confess" - not sure if this is old or not but it's f-cking blazing hot. BTW: aren't The Clipse basically the gutter, thugged-out version of Camp Lo?
Speaking of Sa-Ra, I like what they stand for creatively but their debut peformance in NYC at Canal Room was semi-gargbation. Self-indulgent, spaced-out black boho hip hop funk gets real irksome without some hooks and songs to draw listeners in. Photos 'n stuff at Prefix though. And if you're ariving late to the party, cop their new Cosmic Follies & The Niggerton Galaxy mixtape to see what the fuss surrounding this Left Coast (?) production crew/group is all about or click here. (Good lookin' to Ndidi M for the tickets for Xmas, someboy's paying attention.) UPDATE: email me, subject line: "Sa-Ra" with your address and I will send one reader selected at random a copy of the mixtape next Tuesday.
MC Lyte "Wonder Years" - prod. by Premo (mp3 courtesy my man, Giz)
Grip Calendar - first the magazine, now this. Holy smokes, Ozone watch ya back...
Free Cool C?
Shameless grab for site traffic: buy the Saturday Night Live "Lazy Sunday" (aka "Chronicles of Narnia Rap") hip hop spoof featuring Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg on itunes after the initial free trial period? F-CK THAT! Cop it here for nathan:

You know what? This kid Game might not be as washed up as everyone is saying.
Spotted in the T.dot over the break: Timberland's AF1 knockoff's - do they sell these in the US 'cos they actually look a lot better than the picture in that link indicates?
Reebok Basquiat sneaker.
Times review of the new Gordon Parks memoir A Hungry Heart.
Funny sh-t via Oh Word - one of the hottest new hip hop blogs:
- If the Biggie Duets album were a movie
- Was it strictly business when actor Patrick Swayze left Erick & Parrish a duo after departing their group PSEPMD?
Finally, on a more somber note: Lou Rawls R.I.P.
