Fat Joe x Lil Wayne – Heavenly Father
I’m fairly convinced that Fat Joe’s upcoming release with be a great one that will probably not sell. Produced by Streetrunner.

Eric Benet – Sometimes I Cry
Not what I expected, but I like the song. The video above is him working on the track. Also, I did admittedly think of this first.

Petey Pablo – Go
This man was a rising artist for NC, once upon a time (well, he did have albums, so maybe not rising). Glad he’s getting back in the game, and with Timbaland, no doubt.

Trek Life x Oddisee – West Coast Beats (Mixtape)
Trek Life and Oddisee continue to tease fans with another mixtape preceding the release of Trek Life’s sophomore album, Everything Changed Nothing. The mixtape, West Coast Beats, includes a concoction of snippets of instrumentals from the upcoming album, exclusive Oddisee beats, the first single, “So Supremeâ€, and an exclusive Oddisee-produced Trek Life track called “Get In Touchâ€, found only on this mixtape.
While Oddisee’s beats have a laid back California feel, he adds a strong synth that keeps reigns on the tracks and keeps them from becoming repetitive. The mixture of styles separates California music from its usual clichés by adding an urban feel. Oddisee says, “When I cruise LA and listen to those tracks I really feel like we accomplished what we set out to [do] with this album, giving a city theme music.â€
