Tranzformer is back with a new joint off his upcoming project. He's been on this site a few times. Check him out once again.
The BBAS affiliated Tranzformer is gearing up to release a new project called Raw & Homemade which is a collection of gems he produced that were previously unreleased. Here’s the first leak off said project. Nice & Smooth (no Greg & Smooth B).
Acoustic Cafe held a dope Hip-Hop show brought to you by Mindz I - Entertainment over the weekend. Hosted by MetaMusik, I witnessed some good Hip-Hop throughout the night. I was able to get a few flicks and video from the night in between the drinks and the enjoyment of the show. Haha. Check it after the jump.
If this morning's Hip-Hop Breakfast was served at Denny's it would be the equivalent of their Grand Slam, considering the large portion you're getting. But I don't really mess with Denny's because their eggs are too salty. Allegedly, of course. Ha!
So, EP 59 is like a meal served at one of those hole in the wall diners that are at least one visit away from the health inspector shutting them down. You know the spots I'm talking about with the breakfast specials for like $2.99 and you get 15 items on your plate but need to down a bottle of tums, however the food is so damn good you don't care.
Considering I took last week off, the least I could do was fill you up with just over 27 solid minutes of quality music featuring The Weeknd, Jean Grae, the homie e.d.g.e. and one of my new favorite's Rocky Rivera. I hope EP 59 helps kick start your week. Enjoy. Chea!
01. The Weeknd - Trust Issues (Cover)
02. TiRon & Ayomari feat. Simon Emanuel - Forever
03. Sonny Shotz x OnCue - Anything Real

A little Sunday morning music for you? You're welcome.
I'm not saying Drake can't sing. Nor am I saying that Trust Issues isn't a cool song. I am however saying I like the Weeknd's version of the track more. You tell me.
Jones Andrews blacks out on this track. Pun intended. Enjoy. Chea!
Recently I was going through an extreme case of writer’s block. I listened to other artists that inspire me, watched hip hop documentaries and even just threw on beats and rapped until I turned blue…lol and nothing seemed to work. Then I decided that I need to refocus and just have fun again with my music and not force it, and just let it come to me. Since that occurred I have been grinding harder than ever, doing shows, collabs and just going in. It’s like I have tunnel vision right now I’m so focused on my music that I can’t see anything else around me, so with that being said I present to you “Tunnel Vision(All Black Everything)”. It’s me flexing my lyrical muscle and going in over one of my favorite beats as of late, Lupe Fiasco’s “All Black Everything.”
Last night I randomly came across Alicia James' video for the song "Seven." Alicia is a native of Houston Texas whose youtube page features mostly natural hair videos and stories about her life. At the beginning of all of her videos is this smooth neo-soul/R&B joint, and I have been curious to know who was singing the song featured. I finally realized it was her. Her voice is beautiful. The song has such a positive message. How could I not share this hidden gem with everyone else?
This joint came out earlier this month, or at least I downloaded it earlier this month. I listened to it maybe twice before hitting play tonight once again. I've heard of Vikter Duplaix before so I'm not considerably new to his music. I think the first time I heard of Vikter was a few years ago when I was driving around in my new car (new to me, haha) and his song popped up on the satellite radio. Listening to satellite radio gave me some hope early on and helped me find artists new to me which I then searched for online.
Here I am on Twitter one day and I notice that he posts a link to a mixtape he recently released. As busy as I am, I don't know how I was able to catch it. Maybe he kept posting the tweet randomly, not sure. So I download it and voilà! This mixtape is intriguingly chill, in my own words obviously. Haha. You'll just have to listen to it yourself but it's a different kind of dope. Those who really know me know that I'm not confined to the two genres of Hip-Hop and R&B. I like to let my ears travel other places as well and I've been satisfied as to where it brought me on this mixtape.
For Players Only is a great, energetic, soul touching, groove inducing mixtape that's sure to please a lot of fans of The Mad Bloggers as well as others. And to top it all off, it's absolutely free. So check out a few tracks and download it after the listens!
e.d.g.e. (four lower cases, four periods) is one of those dudes I wanna see win. Ever since we connected online, I've appreciated his music and the friendship we've established. e.d.g.e. is a good dude.
I've had this project on my computer for over a week, and like a kid trying to keep a secret, I've wanted to share it with you the moment I was done with my first listen. But I had to wait. Now the wait is over. With production from Shane Eli, Moka Only, Ritchcraft, Stewie Vuiton and more, All Flow Everything is solid. Below are two of my favorite cuts from the I.G.O.D. x DJ Koast x the9elements.com presented jawn. If you dig 'em, download the full project.
I caught this in the email. New Orleans' own Cooly Wright definitely has me interested in hearing more. Thanks to MiSSLs for the link. Head over to www.missls.net for the full backstory. Enjoy. Chea!
I was harassing the homie a few days ago about the project and then totally forgot to share it with you. Why? Because I was too busy enjoying it myself. Ha! Here's the latest from beat maker Willie Green. You're welcome.
Summer (Movement 2) is the second segment of Willie Green’s Four Seasons beat tape series. Picking up right where Spring left off, Summer (Movement 2) is a collection of beats inspired by the warmer months and is perfect for your barbecues, roadtrips, or whatever you like to do in the heat. Available as a “Pay What You Want” (even nothing!) download at www.WillieGreenMusic.com.
