This is odd. Considering most of Drake’s music focuses on his adversion to everything awesome, like his lavish lifestyle and static cling towards females with fake asses, you’d assume YMCMB’s crossover crooner would actually prefer a bed to himself. But, despite Drizzle’s penchant for pouting, he does indeed “Hate Sleeping Alone.” Read the rest of this entry »

Saigon is nothing, if not honest. Thoughts bleed through his pen, creating a direct connection with the listener that’s one of the man’s great strengths as an emcee. On “Down The Road,” a bonus track off copies of The Greatest Story Never Told sold at FYE, he builds with the listener, sharing his thoughts on a variety of topics. It’s a mellow, introspective trip through the mind of a man with something to share. Read the rest of this entry »

Why yes, I did purchase Alicia’s new album, stank you very much. I even ripped it to replace the downloaded version I had on my computer. To which I shall add this nice bonus track which was available on the Japanese retail. Read the rest of this entry »

The girl Alicia…*ahem* Excuse me.

This woman Alicia Keys sure can captivate an audience with a simple yet emotional ballad can’t she? The music takes you beyond your general auditory experience and dwells in the realm of virtual reality. You can see her passion; just her on a barren stage with nothing but her piano and her thoughts. Read the rest of this entry »

Another grimey track from Shallah Raekwon & Tone Starks that you can add to your archvies. Read the rest of this entry »

Although DJ Khaled’s buffoonery has become a thing of legend over the past couple of years, no one can argue the success that the man has garnered. DJ Khaled has mastered the art of asking for a feature and finagled his way to a record deal along with a third album commemorating this mainstream notoriety, We Global. Whereas Khaled seeks to bask in his international success, the DJ makes little effort to reach past Dade County for his features and conceptually refuses to move to uncharted territory.

Nas – Like Me (UK Bonus Track)

Previously Posted — Nas – Untitled (Unofficial Bonus Tracks)

I don’t think these are “official” by any means; just a collective of tracks that prolly won’t make the album. All in good quality, no DJ (like the “Association” track from the Green Latern tape) so they’re good to have for those homemade mix CDs and playlists. Read the rest of this entry »

With all these bonus tracks getting scattered separately between iTunes and numerous retailers, it’s fairly easy for a few tracks to fly off your radar. And for the most part, it’s justifiable. If the artist doesn’t feel obligated to add particular tracks to their LP, it’s probably because they’re leftovers from what the toilet paper missed.

Too bad for “Hello.”

Omitted from Timbaland’s Shock Value last year, this sonically enhanced banger would have been a welcomed addition to an album that was quite frankly, more miss than hit. Read the rest of this entry »
