Video: Madlib and Freddie Gibbs - Thuggin

Madlib on the Beats and Freddie doing what he does best! Can't wait for a full album, btw MADGIBBS Thuggin EP in stores now.

Audio:B.J. The Chicago Kid – Dream II

I feel B.J is one of the best if not the best R&B singer of this generation, he keeps it 100. I don't have to meet this dude to know he is all about his art and would not sellout to sell a million records, dude is talented, gifted and works very very hard so you know he is destined for greatness and success. Back to the music, this song is from is upcoming album out on Valentine's Day titled "Pineapple Now-Laters", I suggest you add this one to your list of albums you need to have in your collection or you could buy it as a gift for someone you care about. It is gonna be life changing!

Fix Presents - Awhlee!

Was in Leeds last week Tuesday with a couple of friends, just wanted to go some where different from Newcastle. Got to Leeds about 10pm and was thinking were to go and randomly walked into Norman Bar and the dj's(Wosrillygud Dj's) were dropping some mad tunes, i mean some real Hip-Hop tunes I ain't never heard before and every tune was amazing. they played a tune which caught my attention probably because of the Luther vandrose sample and I had to go ask who produced it, they said Awhlee! 

came back home and started looking for Awhlee and thank god for Google, I found him. Even before seeing the video above I knew that this dude had a lot of love and passion for this music, you could tell just from hearing the music that this right here is from the heart. it's funny that the more I hear people talking about how Hip-Hop is dead, the more I find music like this! so to all my Hip-Hop fans out there, don't sleep on great music, do your best to support Awhlee. He is giving his music away for nothing, 2 EP's on his Bandcamp page, they cost you pretty much nothing if you think of it and one free download which you can get below.

This is not a new song, it was on the soundtrack for the movie "The Hurricane" starring Denzel Washington. If you haven't seen that yet you need to check it out, it's pretty awesome. Also you can watch questlove tell the story of how dilla made this beat at FROLAB. HAPPY NEW YEAR by the way.
