NAS’ NEW COVER / ‘BE A NI***R TOO’ MP3
(CLICK IMAGE FOR NON-PIXELATED VERSION)
I’m a sucker for this shit. Definitely a believer that on one of these albums he’ll return to form. Drops July 1st.

MP3:
For those that are out of the loop and don’t know, Nas is no longer calling the album “Ni***r.” Instead, in a decision that a few haters are calling a “cop-out”, the album will be self-titled. None of that really matters though because the following track showcases Nas, in fine form (at least lyrically—the beat isn’t great), proving that him and Jay will continue to stay on top of their game. Granted, you can’t really say Nas gets better with age, in recognition of the fact that it would be almost impossible for him to top ‘Illmatic.’

THEO & LAH: WE MADE IT
Featuring a nice laid-back (soul sampled?) beat, clean rhyme schemes and good lyrics, this track is worth a few listens for sure. Theo (2nd verse) and his homeboy, Lah (1st verse), definitely did their thing.
It still seems to lack a little something (probably just million dollar production equipment and top-dollar mastering?), as most independently released tracks do, but nothing I can easily identify.
Stay up, Theo!

The latest from those kids… you know who it is.

Kidz In The Hall – Sweet 16
“King Magazine recently selected Naledge (of KITH) to write 16 Bars on a subject they picked at random (obviously judging by the title you can see where they wanted him to go), in which they would then publish his lyrics. Kidz In The Hall took it a bit further than the norm, however, and recorded a new track for it.
With that said, here is the world premier of Kidz In The Hall’s “Sweet 16″ (All My Ladies).
They recorded a “Making Of” for the track as well. It’s a large file, but anyone interested in checking it out can download the clip here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jwgc37
