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.

Offthechart's Random Tracks of the Day: Dirty South Edition

First up for the day is an 8-minute anthem dedicated to the city of Miami. This song features vocals from Flo Rida, Rick Ross, and Brisco, as well as a crazy beat. Typical of dirty south hip-hop, the lyrics of 'Yayo' boil down to a whole lot of slang, rather than any particularly meaningful content. However, the vocals sound so clean over the hard hitting base and resounding cries of 'Yayo' in the background that it's hard to complain.


Download: Yayo feat. Brisco, Billy Blue, Ball Greezy, Rick Ross, Redd Eyezz, Bred, Pitbull and Ace Hood

This track is a remix of of 'She Luv it' which was featured on UGK's final album, UGK 4 Life, which was dedicated posthumously to Pimp C. This is a classic UGK song, with a slow beat, a heavy bass and a crooning chorus, all backing up the smooth lyrics of Bun B. This track also benefits from a verse from Slim Thug, another staple in dirty south music.


Download: She Luv It (Remix) feat. Slim Thug and Killa Kyleon

This song is product of dirty southern hip-hop supergroup, The Fixxers, which is made up of DJ Quik and AMG. This song placed on hip-hop charts across the country, as well as being featured on an episode of Entourage. Like most southern hip-hop tracks, 'Can U Werk Wit Dat' is backed by a heavy, trunk-bouncing bass and a simple looping synth beat.

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.

Download: I Need a Dollar
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.
