Big Boi feat. Mary J. Blige - Sumthin's Gotta Give

I still dunno how this wasn't a hit.

Back when 'Obamamania' was still running strong (can you believe his first 100 days have already passed) these two teamed up to drop a critical yet inspirational rhyme bout folk strugging in the states. And they're still taking this message across the country.

Everytime I hear joints like this I wonder if Big Boi will ever get the same hype as Andre 3000. His new album's called Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. And no I am not making that up :D Should hopefully drop later on in the year. Enjoy folks.

Drake feat. Dwele & Little Brother - Don't You Have A Man

Now before anyone starts. I know this is old but it just doesn't get anymore soulful than this.



This Drake guy's actually pretty interesting. He shot to fame on Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation. His character got shot and ended up in a wheelchair.



Pretty heavy stuff :-S

He's released two mixtape albums 'Comeback Season' & 'So Far Gone'. He has an official album called 'Thank Me Later' which is due out at the end of the year

See, now this is why I'm so disappointed that DJB's Soulful R&B 1Xtra show ended this Sunday. How else will I get to hear joints like this?


(Thanks to Hip Hop Lead and 5 Star Hip Hop for the mixtapes)

Live! (Jamie Foxx - Unpredictable)

"Cause the real deal's always better"


Back in 2006, Jamie Foxx was still riding high off the success of
'Ray' when he released 'Unpredictable'. As part of the promotion for it, Jamie peformed a selection of songs from the album on AOL Music sessions. This is how we ended up with the pretty fly version of the title track.



It's a shame he's not doing stuff like this anymore. To be honest I haven't really listened to 'Intuition'. Really ought to do a review of it at some point.
