Johnny Polygon – Wolf In Cheap Clothing (EP)
Johnny decided to go the independent route as a salute to the dying music business and the rebirth of a new one. His new EP Wolf In Cheap Clothing is the first batch of new music from Johnny since his critically acclaimed Rebel Without Applause which was called by XXLMag.com as “one of the more stellar releases this year.†The EP has straight club bangers, college pre-gaming jams and even some soaring pop love songs thrown in for good measure. Johnny doesn’t take himself too seriously and this EP delivers church giggles and hilarious one liners more than a few times. Maybe it’s because Johnny was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma? Listen for yourself.

J. Cole x Ced – Metaphor Freestyle
Spotted on Miss Dimplez:
Last week, amidst J. Cole’s interview with Nardwuar he mentioned that pre-The Warm Up, he and his best friend Ced had freestyled to Pete Rock’s “The Game†instrumental. Well, I’ve got it! J Cole dropped this freestyle circa ’01-02 when he was 17 and had just assumed the his former rap name, “Therapistâ€.
