¡Mayday! – The Future is Now

*clears throat
Now that I the boobs above have your attention you need to do yourself a favor and download this! I first caught wind of ¡Mayday! back in 2006 when they dropped their self titled debut which gained a considerable amount of press. After that year I admit I fell asleep and lost track of them. Since then (earlier this year to be exact) they added Wreckonize (remember him?) to their roster…

J.A.M.E.S. Watts – The Gray Area (prod. Golden Child)

J.A.M.E.S. Watts sent over this record last night and asked for it to go live in the AM. So here it is. Inspired by one of my favorite movies of 2008, Juno, and it’s quirky-ass soundtrack. Capturing the sarcastic humor occasionally arises out of the male/female relationship. And since he had so much fun recording the record, he included a commercial as well.

Termanology – Say It f. Sheek Louch, Joell Ortiz, Bun B, Saigon & Freeway

Shake’s currently on his 8 hour road trip to Montreal. Fun stuff right? Riiight. So it’s up to me to hold down the fort (which I’ll do half assed I’m sure). This shit right here though? This shit right here!? This is what you call a line up folks. I premiered this over at the plantation (shouts to Dan Green!) and now I wanted to give ya’ll the download (NMC too strong for ya’ll, I promise). Another joint off Termanology’s mixtape, If Heaven Was A Mile Away (A Tribute To J Dilla), which drops (for free) New Years Day! All emcees listed above go in, I can’t even call who took it the most. It’s hip hop! Definitely making up for the mishap with the last leak. Also… you can hit the jump for the full artwork and tracklisting to the tape.

Shake x Montreal x New Year’s Eve

The title says it all. I’m on my way to Montreal to celebrate the New Year. It’s a nice little 8 hour drive so don’t expect much from me until I get to the hotel. If any of ya’ll are doing it up out there hit me up. You can buy me a shot of Patron ha. I should be back to posting tonight, but if not… be safe and enjoy the celebration.

Truck North – Norf@Work x D.Y.B. x ’09 Mentality

Every track I get from Truck North makes me a little more hyped for his upcoming mixtape, Truck Jewels. Aka, you can say I’m just like Shamz haha. Be on the lookout for the tape to drop within the next 2 weeks. Shouts to OKP of course. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to pack for my trip.

The other day I was thinking of where the hell Buck was. And OnSMASH has provided the answer by dropping two new joints. Unfortanatly I’m not feeling either. Maybe ya’ll will.
