Offthechart's Random Tracks of the Day

This has gotta be one of my favorite new songs. I first heard it on HBO's show 'How to Make it in America' and have yet to find a person that doesn't love it. This is off Aloe Blacc's upcoming album, Good Things. I don't know a whole lot about this kid but have been so impressed by the few of his songs that I've heard that I'm hoping to do a full feature on him. Be on the lookout. Download link below.

Off of Bun B's latest solo effort, II Trill, this song definitely goes in. In honor of his deceased friend, Pimp C, Bun B chose to leave all talk of syrup (the drink that killed Pimp C) off of the CD. With a catchy hook and some hard hitting verses, I'd recommend picking this one up.


Another banger from the Slaughterhouse squad. This was the first street single off their self-titled debut and boasts some of the cleverest lyrics I've heard in a long time. Crooked I, in particular, shreds his verse apart:
I'm the one who wants to spear Brittany
Give Pink some black, put it near her kidneys
I'm the one who always cause an affair
So every time your bitch burp
You smell my balls in the air.
