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.
Outasight x Freddie Gibbs – Near The End
This collab track is dope….when I saw Nah Right post this I had to actually reseach to see who Outasight was…the results are? VERY DOPE. I’ll be checking more of this guy in the future right this second.

Duo Live x Snoop Dogg — Laid Back
Not bad, but I have to ask…when did Snoop start trying to hand at reggae? An even better question–why? Is that Autotune at the end?
Killah Priest x Ill Bill x Sabac Red – Psalm of Satan
In these dark times, songs made with light and happiness do not always seem relevant, as it was when Killah Priest wrote this epic story from the point of view of Lucifer. Lucifer who was God’s brightest angel, who God had made in charge of all music, would later rebel against God. Jealous of God’s love for humans, Lucifer would end up leading revolt against God and the other angels. The war in heaven would see Lucifer and his band of rebel angel’s fall from God’s grace. This knowledge we have from the New Testament however not once is Lucifer mentioned in the Old Testament. In fact some theologians believe that Lucifer was an early creation of the Catholic Church to be the bogeymen and foil for all goodness in the world. Killah Priest who is both spiritual and worldly has written a sinister verse, drenched in disdain and vengeance from Lucifer’s perspective. Sabac Red adds a sense of urgency to the song with his verse referencing Armageddon and the rise of the Beast. Lastly Ill Bill pens a verse about Lucifer manifesting in modern times as a skilled assassin working for government agencies or is he controlling them?In the end it is always up to the listener to decide what to believe, whom to believe and how this song relates to the dark world all around us.
In hindsight, perhaps I should’ve waited until after the weekend to post this…

Muggsy Malone (The Parkway Kid) — M-U-Double-G-S-Y (Yeah That’s Me)
There’s no denying it–this dude is on a lyrical massacre. Definitely trying to hear more from him. A little history from DJBooth & IllVibes:
“It’s “M-U-Double-G-S-Y?†Damn, I always get that one wrong. My sub-par spelling skills aside, the latest exclusive world premiere off – ahem – Muggsy Malone‘s forthcoming, Booth-sponsored mixtape finds the up-and-comer spitting more of the tightly-wound, allusive autobiographical rhymes we’ve come to expect. Over the dreamy, lushly-sampled boardwork of Grussle (a.k.a. E-Minah), Malone takes us back to his early days spent dreaming of musical success, peppering his conversational bars with references to everything from Ben and Jerry’s ice cream to Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life With Zack & Cody. With blazing hot rhymes and head-spinning flows to match, Muggsy’s clearly headed for the big leagues. In the man’s own words “Successful is like black: it’s what I was born to be.†Those who like what they’re hearing can find M-U-Double-G-S-Y (Yeah That’s Me) and much more on The Parkway Kid, set to hit our front page in the first quarter of next year.â€
Keep updated on Muggsy Malone music through his Twitter page.

Remember them? This is pretty good….not sure when that album is coming out, though, I recall it must’ve been pushed back…
