Tony WIlliams – Cloud Of Endo ft STS & Freddie Gibbs

New album by frequent Kanye West collaborator and songwriter (I think) just dropped (I also think, but maybe I just stole a leak) and obviously, this is the very first song I skip to. Slow breezy country rap tune produced by an unlikely source, but this sounds really really good after 2 listens. Rest of the album hasn’t sounded quite as promising, but i’ve literally just skipped through a few tracks, give it a listen and decide for yourself.

Nasty Nardo Ft. feat. Trackman – Michael Jackson

I hadn’t thought of it before, but hearing this now I’m actually really surprised this is the first I’ve heard in the rap world of someone referring to Michael Jackson and their own drug use. I guess even in the typically tasteless rap world the King Of Pop was held in such high esteem that very few people wanted to go there. Hell, Ron Ron Artest aka Meta World Peace wrote a heartfelt song to the star which I’m pretty sure if you listen closely you can hear him choking back the tears to make it through the track. Nasty Nardo, took it upon himself to pen this amazing piece of work, linkng his pill popping ways to Michael’s, all while jacking the signature bells from the beginning of Thriller for added effect. This is so right and so wrong for soo many reasons, and hands down beats out the disrespectful absurdity of Ron’s ‘Michael you my ni**a’ chorus.

Old Man J

By matt going ham | Published: January 8, 2012

One of the best songs from the ‘Blue Dream & Lean’ mixtape gets a classic budget ass Juciy J video. This was the tapes highlight for me for 2 reasons, J’s opening line of ‘College ho’s love alcohol & poppin’ aderall’ and the fact that Speakz makes a Dj Quik, Suga Free & Mausberg reference, on some straight west coast homage shit the novice listener might not get. Above average beat via Juciy J and Crazy mike to boot. Juicy J can do no wrong at the moment, and that’s even considering the guy just ’signed’ to Taylor Gang. For the record, i’m still not fully convinced on Spaceghostpurp.

$hamrock Ft. Lil Wyte & Rittz – Rainy Night In Georgia

Best whiteboy posse cut ever? Perhaps by default as I can’t think of another all cracker rap track, besides the two Young Black Teenagers albums in their entirety. Typically white rappers like to surround themselves with as many black dudes as possible for credibility sake (see Eminem), but ever since Yelawolf has been making some noise and put on Rittz along with Lil Wyte and Jellyroll forming the all caucasian superground of SNO, it seems whitey isn’t looking for as much validation in rap, which can only be a bad thing, but here it works for the best. This came out last month I guess via a $hamrock project (yes, that $hamrock from the white rapper show), but I just remembered it when it also popped up on a Lil Wyte xmas mixtape, so here it is for anyone that missed out.

Fam-Lay – Clap Clap

Fam-Lay has had a hard go of it over the last 10 years. With a seemingly infallible association with Neptunes and Star Trak records in the early 2000’s, he was all over some of their earliest works and poised to follow in the footsteps of The Clipse, only to continually get shelved over the years from what seems to be maybe be the fallout after the misstep which was the Neptunes Clones record. One of the all too familiar cases in rap, when one of the best talents under a big names roster gets pushed to the side over and over again, even though his musical output could be argued to be as good if not better than some of that of the mentor. This was released just before Christmas, and just like every Fam-Lay release, i’m just barely hearing about it now, and it will likely remain as low key but brilliant as most of his previous work. Long story short, Fam-Lay is awesome, and everyone should be paying him as much attention as we used to pay to Pharrell and co.

The Everyday Street Gangsta

By matt going ham | Published: January 6, 2012

Looks like E.S.G. is tuned into the big beard theory of getting over in rap, and grew his out in hopes it might boost his current popularity. Whether it works or not is irrelevant, the man is a Houston legend, and has been steadily putting out great records as of late, regardless of who is hearing them. I do remember Drake’s blog posting a recent freestyle E.S.G. did over something from Take Care, which is a good look for Drakes camp, so hopefully it brings in a younger audience who otherwise hasn’t ever been exposed to his work. I do have to hand it to Drake’s camp, they are always meticulous about paying homage where homage is due, especially in the H-Town scene. Posting the all-time classic Swangin’ & Bangin’ for anyone that may not be familiar.
