The young gunner spits a few bars for the masses. I don’t think he’s bad, but in terms of Philly’s king: Will Smith > Beanie Sigel > Young Chris. Props to the BoBO. Young Sav what up?!

I’m a pretty big fan of David Banner. One of the artists that can bring you both a Like a Pimp record and then turn around and drop something like this. This is the David Banner I really appreciate though. Dude speaks more than enough truth on this new record.

General Loso talks about some upcoming projects. Loso’s Way coming soon. Street Fam album on it’s way. Ne-Yo & Fabolous Best of Both Worlds album? Damn! Can we get a SLU Freestyle too? Shouts to BoBo.

…is coming according to Sha Money XL. Now I’m sure I don’t have to tell you to be weary and to not take this as 100% truth, etc. I’m just passing along a quote from his blog…

All I gotta say is,who said Hiphop is dead? or do you wanna kill ya self? Either way,your dead! You can ‘Self Destruct’ now or ‘Detox’ later,either way your gonna feel ‘The Empack‘. The monster is coming,drop your lp’s right now,2009 will not be your year.There coming… This is for the fans,the streets,the clubs,the east,the west,the south,the blogs the whole HIPHOP World!! – Sha Money XL

So the emcee that shares my name (sort of) is back with the second episode of his Class Is In Session series. Which was done last week, but my inbox has been insane and I’m overlooking far too many things. Anyways, this is the first leak off Shakespeare‘s mixtape, A Shakespearean Premier. And you already know why I love the title haha…

Officer Ross, Bun B & T.I.P. jump on the remix to Algamega’s single. Not to be confused with the Uh Ohh (rmx) by Grafh. I also included a T.I. track that wasn’t featured on Paper Trail and will actually be on an upcoming I Know You Missed Me mixtape from The Empire (dropping tomorrow). And since I like to drop bonuses on ya’ll, Inga & Trina jumps on Clifford’s single for a remix. UPDATE: I guess the Inga verse was blended in so here is the version with just Trina. *shrugs…

Pardon me if these aren’t new as I’ve never heard them before. Regardless, both joints are dope so it shouldn’t even matter. I know there are some dopeboyz/girlz out there like Shake. Off Tre’s Goodbye America mixtape. And people have the nerve to still say the entire South is wack.

A few things are getting accomplished in this post. The dopeboyz/girlz are blessed with some Q-Tip x D’Angelo good’ness. And ya’ll also get to check out The Renaissance‘s official artwork x tracklist (after the jump). Shouts to NerdWithSwag. Also, if you’re in NYC, Tip is putting on a free show w/ Okayplayer. UPDATE: So I’ve got to the bottom of this debacle regarding the I Believe record. The version I included in this post is from a few years back. According to my man Statik the album version is ridiculous! On some should have been featured on Midnight Marauders type shit and is 1000x better. Whoa!

OKP insists that we enjoy one more feel good summertime joint as we watch the season come to and end. Here goes a video for Skillz’ Be Alright, which features Kornbread & Aaries, off The Million Dollar Backpack.

And no, we’re not Rick-Rolling you with this song. Can’t say that the boy isn’t creative with this one. Off of The Diary 2, coming soon.
