Another Mini-Episode with some great new (and one older) joints.  We call this one “Headphone Music” this isn’t necessarily “bump in your whip” or house party type music.  It’s the stuff you’d listen to just relaxin, headphones on, staring at the ceiling type stuff.

Personally, this is one of my most anticipated albums this year next to J.Cole’s album.  Can’t wait.  September 14th!  With any luck we’ll be at the album release party, and with even more luck we’ll be able to get in and get some footage with the camera, provided @hexmurda doesn’t murder all of us.

I wonder if they blurred out the 10 Deep logo on Black Milk’s hoodie because of how they did Danny Brown….

Unfortunate that this had to be a leak of an incomplete track, but man, J.Cole is doing his damn thing yet again.  This dude’s album is gonna be phenomenal.

J.Cole – “Problems”

No idea why the video quality would be so bad for something coming out recent.  Regardless the track is a banger from Camden’s own Big Lou and Mr. Probz who we actually spun on the show recently.

Man this shit is gutter and soulful as hell.  Lovin the way this video was shot too, looks exactly how it sounds.  Gritty, soulful and saturated as hell.  Lovin this joint.

From Gotham Green and Quickie Mart’s album Haze Diaries Vol. 3 you can preview and buy at: http://djquickiemart.bandcamp.com/

New video off Red’s No Witnesses mixtape. This is the second or third joint off that mixtape that I rock with, I guess it’s about time I go and download it and see what else I’ve been missing.

This is the latest video from the project featuring Mos Def. That beat is fire, and Mos shows he can still get busy on the mic when he’s not acting in front of the camera. The album drops on September 7th.

New joint from Joell with some help from Joey and Novel. I wasn’t sure about this joint after my first listen, but now I’m on my 3rd spin so enough said. This track is off Joell’s upcoming mixtape, YAOWA which will be hosted by DJ Green Lantern & Don Cannon and will drop in October.

Awww shit! A new joint from Mic Geronimo and a Royal Flush cameo all in one! I hadn’t seen or heard anything from this dude in a long time, but it’s good to see he still knows how to make a good track. This is off the Lone Wolf EP which is available for download on iTunes. It’s good to hear from him again.

The show is back!! After a couple of turbulent months we’re back in your ears with some great topics and even better music! We talked about everything from Mel Gibson to LeBron James to racist crickets.  That’s right I said RACIST CRICKETS!  Among other things, we also gave away some of these fresh new Sony PiiQ headphones to one lucky live show listener and one lucky podcast listener.  Make sure you stay up on the latest shows so you don’t miss out on what we’re giving away on these shows!

Yes.  This shit is 100% official.  This is really happening, your eyes don’t decieve that ass.  He deeeed it.

On a related note:  Eli, while on dialysis, announces his mixtape, documentary and that hes not retarded.

In the aftermath of last week’s show I missed this gem by J. Cole. I can’t wait for this dude’s album to drop. He is one of the few cats consistently putting out good music.

This is the lead video for W. Draztik & Sleepy Bigg’s latest release Smoker’s Cough. This joint had me as soon as the sample faded in. You can listen and download a 3 track sampler of the album here, and if you like what you hear you can purchase the entire album for a $5 spot right here. Detroit keeps pumpin out that good shit.

Just found the video for one of my favorite tracks we spun on last night’s show (podcast will be posted soon).  This dude Moe Green is on some other stuff in the Bay Area, I’m lovin’ the sound.  I think this dude needs to get a little more attention for what he’s doing.  It doesn’t always have to be about who has the biggest shine, the hottest car or the most record sales, lets just take a listen from a music perspective.

I smell a track getting added to the show playlist.  This track is a banger to the damn fullest.  Peep this though, stop sleepin’ on whats going on overseas.  This dude’s comin straight outta the Netherlands, no b.s.  Real shit, don’t sleep.

The first single off their upcoming album Eastern Standard Time which drops July 27th. Cop it at their site http://kooleyhigh.com/ I still want one of those cool ass skull t-shirts they sell. North Carolina is definitely making an appearance in 2010.

New joint from 1/3 of Dilated Peoples’.  From his solo album Crown of Thorns which drops 7/20.  Produced by guess who, Evidence.

What up doe?! New single of his highly anticipated, upcoming release Album of the Year which I’m convinced it will be in my book.  This is GOOD STUFF.  With Stat dropping a certified banger, J.Cole on the way and maybe even Detox this year (not holding my breath on that) this should be a damn, damn good year for some real hip-hop music.

My only wish is that one time, just one time, we could get in the studio with Black Milk with our camera and get some footage and behind the scenes of this dude putting together some of his music.   He’s got a completely different sound than most others out there, I’m sure alot of people would love to see how he puts some of this stuff together.

Black Milk – “Welcome (Gotta Go)”

“We won’t get it poppin’ till we oil free.”

New joint by Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli + DJ Hi Tek), featuring some pretty powerful visuals directed by Sam Ellison.

This candidly critical indictment of the oil industry could not have come at a more appropriate time in the wake of BP’s disaster in the Gulf Coast that, 80 days later, has yet to be completely resolved.

Another new joint from one of the better up-and-comers out of the Bay. This joint is off Nio’s Hero mixtape, which is out now.

Man I still don’t get it.  Eternia’s appearance just doesn’t match what I’m hearing.  Crazy.  Much respect for her talent and a real female MC people need to know about. I’m really feelin her.  (Figuratively not literally).

From Fat Beats:
Eternia & MoSS return with the 1st Solo Music Video offering from the critically acclaimed album, “At Last“! GOODBYE is a tale of industry vs. art through the eyes of Eternia, wherein she learns to trust her struggle, backed by MoSS’s post-apocalyptic, end-of-the-world sonic imagery.
