New date!

A little update to the list of album releases from a couple of days ago; The Clipse new album Til The Casket Drops has been delayed and will come out on December 8th, not November 10th as was first said.

Here we go!

So, time to get down to business.

It has been a busy summer, but I don't really see the point in just telling you about it word for word. Where's the fun in that?

Basically, it has all been about Jay-Z. The Jiggaman has released his latest album, Blueprint 3, and all over the world people have been queuing up to praise the record which, according to the main person himself is three times as good as edition one and two.

Just watch this interview and you'll know what I'm talking about:



And I can't really argue, Blueprint 3 is the best album of the year so far, no doubt. The tracks just keep growing the more you listen to them. For example, here's Empire State of Mind (feat. Alicia Keys)



...and Already Home (feat. Kid Cudi).



What else? We've got a new album from Fabolous called Loso's Way, and as mentioned in the previous post, Clipse is coming out with Til The Casket Drops in a near future and have been spitting out hits to promote the release.

Fabolous - Everything, everyday, everywhere (feat. Keri Hilson)



Clipse - Kinda like a big deal (feat. Kanye West)



Sweden? Don't know where to start there. The scene of electro/drum n' base influenced Hip hop has truly exploded, mostly thanks to My Best Friend Is My Grind. You've got new names such as Cake Boy, Pato Pooh and the list goes on, which are trying to make it big and are on their way to getting there.

Pato Pooh - Follow Me (feat. Adam Tensta)



Cake Boy - How I Roll



Well, that'll be all for now.

Catch you in a bit.

Whoop, whoop!

Track Of The Day! - Clipse

Alright people! We're back in the game again after a well deserved, as well as needed, break over the summer. There's been going on a lot which needs to be reported on, and I will get down to that when the time is right, which will be tomorrow.

But for now, let's just start of nice and easy with a track of the day. From their upcoming, and according to me, highly anticipated album 'Til the casket drops', here's Clipse with I'm Good:

Review: CNN - Channel 10

It's been 12 years since CNN made their last appearence on the air, and it shows. The duo are having troubles finding their own sound. Every track of the album is different from the other. The sound differs according to the producers behind the beat, while Capone and NORE puts their rhymes on it, almost like three seas and two continents have separated them for the last couple of years rather than a prison wall.

NORE instantly takes charge of the album, while Capone just tries to keep up. But the distance is too far between them for him to catch up. We get predictable tracks and impersonal beats. Although there are a few exeptions.

The DJ Premier produced 'Grand Royal' is pure, classic New York hip hop, that will take anyone back to the 90's. Other tracks that stands out has got a clever hook, different chorus or personal lyrics. But to be fair, the album is not packed with them. With the material used we are allowed to expect straight up quality from each and every song, and espeacially 'My Hood' with Clipse, Maino, Uncle Murda and Tha Dogg Pound should be able to knock you of your seat, but I sit quite comfortably at the moment.

Best track: Channel 10

Grade: 3/5
