New Music: Chris Brown – Beautiful People

MP3: Chris Brown – Beautiful People by latroywatson

I go back and forth on these Euro-dance-flavored urban records but this one I think I like. With a few hits in a row now, is Chris Brown fully-rehabilitated now? In the eyes of core urban fans, I think he is. As for the mainstream media and pop marketplace though, I’m not so sure…..

New from Keys N Krates: Give Me the Night w/ Grand Theft / Lyrics Born – Lies X3 (remix)

MP3: GIVE ME THE NIGHT – KEYS N KRATES & GRANDTHEFT by Keys N Krates

This collab with Grandtheft is apparently the official first single by Toronto live remix crew Keys N Krates (?). I’m confused, it still sounds like another refix/remix track instead of an orginal track??

Hit the jump for their remix of Bay Area MC, Lyrics Born‘s “Lies X3”

Check Ya Footnotes schools you on references heard in classic hip-hop tracks.

“Remember Rappin Duke, Da Ha Da Ha?” Do you? Do you really? Biggie did!

“On Check Ya Footnotes, hip-hop heads will now be able to uncover the references embedded in some of rap’s most well known tracks. Put together by DJ Raize and spanning from 50 Cent to Patti Labelle, Eminem to 3rd Base, Check Ya Footnotes reveals the dopely interconnected world of classic hip-hop like no other project before it.”

THIS MIXTAPE IS STR8 FIYA!!! I was in the game heavy during the 90’s hip hop era and the homies, Jared and Reyes even put me up on a few gems I never caught before from listening to this tape. Thorough! Now they need to do a Vol. 2!
