Jay-Z – You’re Welcome f. Mary J Blige & Swizz Beatz [NoDJ / NoTags]

20080228-jayz.jpg

A HUGE shout out to the homie Lowkey for passin’ me this my way yesterday. My word was given’ that I would let it breathe for atleast 12 hours before I dropped it on ya’ll with no tags. And Shake is a man of his word. I doubt people are even reading this, shit … I wouldn’t. If I saw Jay-Z and Mary J in the title I wouldn’t give two shits what the Shake had to say and would go straight to the DL link haha. Regardless, enjoy the hell out of this. I know I have been!

Yessir. The first official single off the upcoming Gnarls Barkley album, The Odd Couple, has visuals to go along with it now. And since I premiered the audio why not be one of the first to drop the video?

Aww shit. I’ve been waiting for new music from this duo. Thank you! Talib Kweli & Res (together as Idle Warship) get together with MC Chris (word to Master Shake!) to put out this funky new joint. Word on the internets (aka my IM box) is that Talib was checking out 2dopeboyz during a session in Philly. That’s right! Now check out this new cut and check them out on their myspace and leave some love.

If my faucet-senses are correct, Snoop-a-loop is about to leak. Here are two new joints off Ego Trippin’. One Chance (Make It Good) is produced by Frequency; while Cool is an interpretation of the Morris Day & The Times song of the same title from 1981. Shouts to khal for the later joint. Good looks dude!

Rik Cordero directs another dope video, go figure. This time for the Legendary Roots Crew.

The good folks over at OKP are even allowing a free download of the video for all you iPOD ZUNE people out there to rock with. And if you missed it, check out some behind the scenes footage.

Fresh off a diss track towards Uncle Murda (in which Murda responded), Pap is back with a new mixtape. Nope, no album … just a mxtape. Go figure. I know there are plenty of Pap fans out there so you can enjoy.
