LUP-END cancelled till further noticed

Yepp... it's postponed or "cancelled" whatevz! I'm not disappointed because he is one my my favorite rappers in the game.
Another reason for my happiness is that he is still releasing an album in June 2009 entitled "The Great American Rap Album". Same day as that album release, Japanese Cartoon (a British Band Lupe has been helping.. and is rumored to be the front man of) will be dropping as well called "In the Jaws of the Lords of Death".

Thennn.. an album I personally have been anticipating and wasn't sure was ever gonna happen :

MATTHEW SANTOS will be dropping an album an album this spring.

who is matthew santos? get LOOOSSST!!! If you heard "Superstar" by Lupe Fiasco, he's the guy singing you brainless idiot haha do your research! can't wait for matthew and lupe... japanese cartoon... eh.. not so much from what I've heard so far. Maybe if it is more refined by the time it is released.

Mos DEF finitley

I believe this Febuary will be the best Febuary of Life. Helloo New President, Valentines day, Mos Def, K'naan, Jadakiss. Love and Music is just floating in the air right? I'm a big fan of Mos Def, always have been. I used to listen to "The Panties" all the time; yes i know its embarrassing that I listen to him sing, but I'd rather hear his attempts over Lil wayne's, T-pain's or Kanye's attempts any day.
"The Ecstatic" drops next month and from what I heard, he gets the panties again with this album.

Deep Rooted is the dopest unsigned rap/ R&b groups in California.I have a couple samples of their songs down below and if u like what you hear, you can purchase them. only a dollar a piece right? Think of it as somethin off the dollar menu only it'll last more than the 20 seconds it takes to eat it:

You'll find nice soul vibes featured on the Deep Rooted collection of albums as well as clean take on hip hop. Listen and Enjoy.

Idle Warship

My partner in crime tipped me off on what happened to our girl Res and Talib Kweli.. I thought they gave up on music and almost died.. but nope, they created a band Idle Warship along with Graph Nobel. thats the video "Black Snake Moan." Personally, their music does make tha music panties wet and im lovin what I hear... music like this makes me die waiting for the official full length album to come out

Janelle the Robot Girl

Janelle Monae has been deemed my look-a-like by my friends. I took this as a horrible bash on my good looks, until I saw how beautiful she was back when she rocked her complete afro here:::

Now though, she changed up her exquisite style for her robot gimmick and looks like a gender confused skinny guy with senior citizen dance moves on stage all the while trying to rock her partial afro on this picture right here. So you can see why my feelings were hurt.

Nevertheless, the woman is talented and no one can hate on that. She is nominated for a grammy, and with her signature on Diddy's label, she has decided to discontinue releasing her "Suite" legacy in order to release her first full length album in the first quarter of 2009. She may be one of the artists that keep's diddy's label afloat because who knows whats going on with Danity Kane and Day26 anymore... and I can't think of anyone else signed with Diddy at the moment. Anywho, I'm anticipating what she will come with next on her album. She makes music for any person in any mood so I hope the next set of songs aren't a compilation of things she already did. I hope it's completely original and not anything that has been leaked because I probably already have those tracks. She has been called the female version of Andre 3000, which I have to disagree with along with her being deemed being a futuristic singer. Her music to me sounds like really old school blues one would hear while living 40's or 50's or along with Louis Armstrong's relaxing Kermit the Frog voice. Monae has strong vocals that soothes you're soul yet puts you in a happy and lighthearted mood. She has been making music for years and had been featured on many tracks by Big Boi of Outkast. One of my favorite tracks from her is "Not Fair" and "Peachtree Blues". Her 7 track set on Metropolis: The Chase Suite was a complete tease to fans of hers. Finally though her full length album shall drop and I am hoping it will be more than a lonely set of 10 songs most artists give after fans wait for what seems like centuries *CoughSantogoldCough.* Monae's music is for everyone's liking no matter the age or genre of music you may listen to.


[[DOWNLOAD METROPOLIS : THE CHASE SUITE FREE!]]

What better way to get refreshing new sounds than stumbling upon a free album? I recently came across this album "Oh MY" by Sean Fournier and took advantage of the free download. Naturally, most of us think if something is free it must not be such a good piece of work. Poor quality, annoying, boring. Because of this I wasn't particularly excited. Surprisingly I lucked out. Sean Fournier is another one of those overlooked artists sort of reminiscent of Jason Mraz if u must have a reference. He combines light sounds of the piano, acoustic, and creative jungle drum sounds into this album and the outcome is a relaxing, mellow collection of only about six or so songs. I became addicted to "Holding the hand of the Hurricane" which is the last track on his album. The lyrics and the deep raspy soul vocals of Fournier was completely mesmerizing. The beat of the Hurricane sounded as if it belonged in the Lion King -- and we all love the Lion King's jammin music... or is that just me? Back on topic, my next recommendation is "Goodbye". It's a melodic slightly somber song yet not depressing at all. Its about strength and overcoming negative thoughts. Overall "OH MY" is easy cool listening that I must admit I listen to every single day... if I don't my day will pretty much be horrid.
So my advice is no matter your music preferences, to take a "risk" and open your mind. After all, it is free. What do you have to lose? Matter of fact, I'll even give you the spot:
