First Madlib and now his brother handlin' the production, can't be mad... Looks like Black Star are gonna drop a Mixtape called Aretha Franklin, sounds good to me.

Black Star – Fix Up (prod. Madlib)

Yesir!! For those of you that don't know, Back Star is an Hip Hop duo, composed by Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey. Now you ask: "Who the f*** is Yasiin Bey?", and I answer that is Mos Def new name, don't know why he changed it, and I don't care, as long as he keeps on doing quality music. Madlib's beats are just outta this world.

In the first one you must hear Krit's, Kendrick's and Nickle 9's verses.

Kweli and Krit on the same track? Looks good to me. This song was created to help raise awareness fot The American Cancer Society.

Jay Electronica – Call of Duty: MW3 f. Mobb Deep

I don't think that you're aware of what's goin' on with this nigga. He ain't gotta an album out yet, but, to me, he has the potential to be the greatest of all time! I'm not kiddin'. Only time will tell, but I think this guy has everything, flow, incredible rhyme schemes, subject matter, metafors, I can't remeber one thing that he should improve, none. I heard about this single droppin 2 days ago, and since that I can only think of it, I spent last night awake waitin' to finally ear it. I highly anticipate music from J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Big K.R.I.T., as newcomers, and have no doubt that they are all great, but Jay Elec is in another level, I don't think I've ever been this hyped about a rapper in my life...

ChrisCo – A Different High f. Obie Trice & Killa Kyleon (prod. Alchemist)

You can't go wrong with an Alchemist beat! Obie Trice is always welcomed too. I don't know who ChrisCo is, but you can check his new EP with Alchemist, How Does It Feel.

I've been a 50 fan for a long time, and I just love when he cames back doin' quality music. Beautiful soulful beat!

Oddisee – For Certain f. Diamond District

Streets Won't Let Me Chill  is one of my favorites songs of the last few years, so I already know what these guys are capable of. Just great!
