New Tracks: May 12th

New tracks from the past couple of days. Both Stat Quo and Em tracks are pretty old, but unreleased up until today so I figured I'd throw em up anyways.

New Music: May 4th

Young Jeezy's new mixtape dropped today. Unless you're a major fan of Jeezy, I wouldn't recommend picking this tape up. It's good background music but most of the beats/lyrics kinda blend together in an hour and a half long mix. I'll post a download link below, but I've also put up my favorite tracks off tape if you just want the choice tracks. Also, a solid new song from Royce Da 5'9" today. I can see a lot of other rappers laying down a few bars over this one.

Weekly Mixtape: Volume 1 (April 26th)

So I'm getting the jump on this a night early, but usually these will go up Sunday nights. Basically, every week I'm going to throw together a mixtape of 10-20 songs that particularly stood out to me this week. Most of these won't be taken from old posts from the week so this is definitely something worth picking up. Since this is the first edition, I stretched a little bit further back than a week and pulled some choice tracks off of Wiz Khalifa's Kush and OJ mixtape, as well as The Game's Red Room. If anyone has any tracks they think should have made the cut this week, leave a comment. Tracklist and download link down low.

Eminem-Not Afraid (produced Boi 1da)

First single off of Em's upcoming CD, Recovery. Aside from the awkward singing bridge about halfway through, this song goes in. As a bonus, I've tossed in Em's freestyle over Drake's 'Over' and Lloyd Bank's 'Beamer, Benz or Bentley.' Enjoy

Offthechart's Random Tracks of the Day: Detroit Edition

This song is off Obie Trice's final album, Second Round's on Me, while with Eminem's label, Shady Records. Dropped in 2006 after over a year of delays, Obie's album was easily one of the most under appreciated of the year. With some ill songs like 'Wanna Know', 'Ghetto', and 'All of my Life' (below), Second Round's on Me is definitely worth checking out. Fun fact to know and tell: Obie Trice still has a bullet lodged in his head from a shooting on New Years Eve in 2005.


This track is off of Eminem's second release, 1997's The Slim Shady EP. This CD served as a precursor to his following effort, the enormously popular Slim Shady LP. In fact, the majority of the songs on the EP were given higher production values and used again on the LP. The below song, 'No One's Iller' featured the introduction of Eminem's alter ego, Slim Shady, which has gradually become the dominant figure in his lyrics, vividly describing rape, murder, excessive drug use, and random acts of violence. Fun fact to know and tell: 'No One's Iller' samples Hank Crawford's 'Wildflower', using the same looping beat as Kanye West's 'Drive Slow'.


The 1st song below, entitled 'The Way I Be Pimpin' is the original version of Dr. Dre's Xxplosive, ghost written by and featuring a verse from Detroit rapper Royce Da 5'9". This was one of many songs that Royce collaborated on with the Aftermath team (Eminem and Dr. Dre) before beef with Eminem and his group, D-12. More recently, Royce has become a member of the hip-hop super-group alongside Crooked I, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz. The 2nd song below, 'Gun Harmonizing' is, in my opinion, Royce's best song, featuring fellow Slaughterhouse member, Crooked I, as well as a hip-hop version of scatting to mimic a firing machine gun. Fun fact to know and tell: Jay-Z's verse from his song 'Renegades' with Eminem, was originally performed by Royce until their fued.
