Big fan of Nipsey. Huge fan of Cali music [The Chronic stays on repeat] and he’s about as Cali as it gets right now. One of XXL Freshman 10 hottest new MC’s, Hussle’s gearing up for his debut album and is kicking things off with the track “Feelin’ Myself” featuring Lloyd [which is heat]. Below is some preview footage of the video being shot in the area where he grew up in South Central Los Angeles.

Nipsey’s first album South Central State of Mind will be releasing later this year. Take a listen and download the Feelin Myself single below.

“Up Out Of My Face” – Mariah Carey f. Nicki Minaj

First up, the new single from our new favorite drunk and Ms. Minaj. Nicki starts off strong per usual and Mariah keeps it that way. Really diggin this single.[DOWNLOAD HERE!]

Knockout – Lil Wayne f. Nicki Minaj

I don’t like this song. Consider this nothing more than Exhibit A of “Why I could care less about Rebirth.” Nothing’s worse than when an artist tries too hard. Wayne, you’re not a rocker–neither are you Nicki. Fuck outta here. [DOWNLOAD HERE]

“Bedrock Freestyle” – Wale [DOWNLOAD HERE!]

This reminds me why I bang with Wale so hard. Almost forgot after that ATROCIOUS Hip Hop Awards freestyle fiasco. But hey, the man with the most underrated album of ’09 goes IN. This freestyle is DOPE!

“Thank You Freestyle” – Wale [DOWNLOAD HERE]

See above statement.

“Drop The World Freestyle” – Royce Da 5’9 [DOWNLOAD HERE]

One of the most criminally underrated artists of the last decade. Royce been doing this, but let this be your introduction. Murders this freestyle.

“Big Dog (I Wanna Rock) Freestyle” – Young Jeezy [DOWNLOAD HERE]

Shhh— don’t say it out loud, but somewhere between Thug Motivation 101 and now, Jeezy has lowkey become one of my favorite rappers. With arguably two classics under his belt [and one of the ten best rap albums of the last decade], you need to pay attention when this guy speaks. So listen up.

“Upside Down” – Snoop Dogg f. Nipsey Hussel & Problem (my fave!!) [DOWNLOAD HERE]

Big Snoop and his illegitimate son team up on this track. Is it worth your time? Let’s just say after I heard this cut, I immediately gave Snoops entire album a listen [its damn good]. Beat is sick, Nipsey goes hard, this just goes. Call this my favorite song out of this post [u know I'm a sucka for a party song].

“Buffalo Bill” – Eminem [DOWNLOAD HERE]

Deranged Eminem always has a place in my ipod. Marshall’s always at his best when at his most weird. No exception here.

Hope you enjoy!
