G.O.O.D. Music's BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher

By far the best cypher from the BET Hip-Hop Awards came from G.O.O.D. music. The other joints were pretty much hit or miss. And as much as I dig and support female rappers, Diamond was fail city. Yelawolf, killed. It's a shame that Diggy murked everyone in his cypher too. Anyway, enjoy the audio for Kanye West,  Pusha T, Big Sean, CyHi Da Prynce and Common's cypher. It's a video rip obviously, but enjoy nonetheless.

Download ... Soul Train Dancer: A Tribute To Rosie Perez

This shit right here? Dope! The beats. The rhymes. Fresh. Shouts to Khal over at RockTheDub.com for the link!

After a number of delays, I'm proud to say that Soul Train Dancer: A Tribute To Rosie Perez, the long-awaited album from Cy Yung (North Caorlina) & J. Slikk (Chicago), is now here. Produced entirely by J. Slikk, this project is a throwback to the era of Rap that many feen for - intoxicating beats, thought-provoking rhymes, and none of the blinged out okey doke. This BPA gem features MCs like Rashid Hadee, The Primeridian, Melatone, Wordsmith, Indy Sparks and more, and is a true testament to Cy & Slikk's determination, and providing a complete project, without the BS.
