Young Buck goes in on the flood situation on Tennessee. Not to make light of the situation, but this is why I love hip-hop. Story telling on the current situation at it's finest. Big shouts to Buck for not letting us forget the situation they're dealing with down there, all through music.
To all the independent artists and the people that support em.....
Young Buck - "Happy New Year"
[audio:http://www.hoodhype.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Young-Buck-Happy-New-Year.mp3]
Solid new track from Buck produced by Real Talk courtesy of OnSmash. Looking forward to his next full album.
LISTEN: Young Buck - "Homecoing"
We're back with a loaded show featuring an interview with "Q" the infamous CEO and Owner of WorldStarHipHop.com We also asked the question, does the South even care about lyrics anymore? An action packed show with TWICE the music and double the calories!
I wish Buck would drop an indie album, I haven't heard a single he's released since going indie that I didn't like. He said a Biggarankin mixtape is on the way, can't wait to check that one out. Maybe if he's willing we can get Buck on an upcoming episode of the HoodHype show.
"Even if you sell 10 mil you still lose"
Free music is ALWAYS welcome here.  Beatnick & K-Salaam come hard on the production as well as the features every time they drop these albums. Just as thorough as all their previous joints, a hot album that I would pay money for over damn near anything people are buying in the store.
Standout tracks:
Young Buck ft. Lil Wayne - "From The Gutter" aka "Ups & Downs"

Mikkey Halsted - "Chi-Town Streets"

There are a couple other bangers on this (Truck North, Bun B, K'Naan) but I didn't want to post the entire album.
From Beatnick & K-Salaam:
We world premiered our latest Project "Where The Streets Have No Name" this weekend on imeem.com, our music player got over 260,000 views in just 2 days. Featuring our production as the backdrop for street anthems from the likes of: Lil Wayne, Bun B, Young Buck, Talib Kweli, K'naan, & much more; the project is already being heralded as a classic. Now we are making the entire album available for free download. I would suggest that you download it, and then listen to it all the way through.
Along with the album comes 12 different album covers, as well as Blackberry & iPhone wallpaper for each of the separate covers. Shouts to imeem.com and illroots.com who worked with us extensively on the project.
Peep the cover art, tracklist and download link after the jump!
I have a feeling this is gonna be a banger. I'm gonna load it up in the ipod and I'll be back with my verdict on it a little later today.  I mean it's free, so do you really care about my opinion? Download it you lazy bastard.

Don't sleep on Buck. He was one of the best the Unit EVER saw.
