Hardcore!

I mentioned last month that Lil' Wayne was working on a new project: a rock album. And Weezy is getting there. Have a look at the result in a teaser of his first video.

What's the verdict....?

Let's just say it sounds a bit so, so.

To be honest, he hasn't changed to much from what he usually does except from the chorus. Change the guitars for a nice beat, throw in T-Pain, Nate Dogg or some other chorus genious, and this could just as well be a Hiphop/Rn'B song.

So Mr Carter, pull the strings of that guitar, grab a mic, do your thing again, and it will all be back to normal!

The young guns: Ace Hood!

Last week when presenting the first young gun in the series, Brisco, I mentioned his name. He is a 19-year-old rapper for the future with a playing card as his signature, who just as Brisco comes from Florida. The name is Ace Hood.

Just listen to this and you will understand why the Ace of spades beats the rest of the deck.


Ace Hood - Top of the world

In November 2008 he released his debut album 'Gutta', on DJ Khaled's label We The Best. The album was bound to be a success with featuring artists such as T-Pain, Rick Ross and Plies, and tracks produced by The Runners, Cool & Dre and J.U.S.T.I.C.E League.
'Gutta' have not reached the absolute top of the charts, but it's one of the best debut albums I've ever heard, and the future looks as bright as the rims on Hood's Cadillac.

I compared his style to Brisco's last week, and the word raw works just as well for Ace Hood as for Bris. But Hood has got something else to. He's got an approach to the whole rap game that screams of hunger, and it shows in every track he appears on.

Ace Hood and Brisco are well aware of their similar style and display it on the track 'Can't see yall' from Hood's album, as well as on many other collaborations, such as DJ Khaled's 'Final Warning'.

Do we have a future "dynamic duo" in the making? If that's the case, I will be first in line to buy the result.
