Young Buck – Eviction
New hot shit from the G-Unit outcast….I would really like to sit in one of his business meetings just to know what his career REALLY looks like at this point. Maybe him and 50 Cent will finally make amends sometime…

Their lustful convictions pledge allegiance to the Almighty power and greed
See seeds born withered, parents still children, adolescent to their ways,
Some preachers false prophets, educated pigeon droppers using our sins….to get paid…
…Slaves, give them freedom or give them dope
Take away their leaders ‘cause that gives them hope
Sell them dreams of changing things like they were never kings and queens befo’…
‘As Small As A Giant’ – Big K.R.I.T.
Soulja Boy x Fabolous – Pretty Boy Swag (Green Lantern Remix)
NMC says it’s an old Loso verse (and i’m trying to check on that)….regardless, Green Lantern DID HIS THING with this one, especially mixing it over Wayne’s “Single”.
Ron Artest x T-Pain – Champions (Produced By Polow Da Don)
This track was already pretty good, now it’s about to grow Usain Bolt legs and really get out (maybe like Usain Bolt, but still…).
W.A.R. Set For September Release Date?
So, I was cruising through Wikipedia (yes, I do know that isn’t the MOST accurate source, but it is certainly the most updated, even if I don’t treat the words on it as official confirmation) and I noticed that on Pharoahe Monch’s Wiki page it states that W.A.R. is being released on 9/14 (which, BTW, is apparently also G.O.O.D. Music Day?!).
Two thoughts come to this: 1) I am somewhat worried about him getting drowned in a sea of other good music coming out that day (although that thought almost gets cancelled when I realize that all potential releases will be drowned in the sea of Kanye West, whether they are under West’s label or not), ans 2) I’m excited. I immediately put him at the top of my list for the most anticipated album release this year. So, as I just wanted to share this (even if I may be late), here’s to hoping the date either sticks or gets pushed to an earlier date. We’ve already given up on Detox, but I don’t know if I can make it another year without that rediculously talented emcee from Queens.
Check out an older XXL article breaking down his upcoming album in more detail.

Stevie Wonder Brings Out Prince & Sheila E. For "Superstition"
Not sure what I would say if I was fortunate enough to witness this with my own eyes….fantastic.
Nina Sky – You Ain’t Got It (Funk That)
Call me crazy, but with a pretty moderate hit (in the midst of comparable music today) and smashingly good looks, why are these two so far below the radar (nationally, I’m sure they get spins in New York, I imagine…)?

Waka Flocka x Ciara – Hard In Da Paint (Remix)
I see Ciara is wasting no time putting in work collaboratively with 1017 Brick Squad…ATL unite.
