Just when you thought rap couldn’t get any more brain-dead, Lil Scrappy and Skateboard P have combined the words grind and hustle to produce the inbred single “Grustle.” Seeing as how I’m just at a complete loss for words at the nonsensical nature of this, in general, I’ll pose the question – is this really what we’ve come to? Combining verbs for song concepts? Read the rest of this entry »

Hey Va$htie!

I played the heck out of this one between Friday and Sunday. Jaycee’s still doing Delights but, if you keep up with his site, he’s slowed down on posting tracklistings because there’s thieves in the temple. Remember sucker DJ’s, you can have the blueprint and materials. But if you don’t have the skills to pull it off it does you no good. Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday’s Afternoon Delight is really one that will lift your spirits and coast you right through the late afternoon doldrums. Enjoy, courtesy of Jaycee. Read the rest of this entry »

Nothing’s greater than a Jaycee mix on a Wednesday. Afternoon Delights in the early evenings, ladies and gents. Read the rest of this entry »

Jaycee’s Afternoon Delight from Thursday was quite fonky. Read the rest of this entry »

Hate to say it but those duffle bag boys are the only ones still rapping with any conviction over at DTP. Ludajuice is coasting, Shawnna’s still getting some head and I-20′s been mum so long, he lost his baritone. No matter, Tity Boi & Dolla World b.k.a. Playaz Circle are gettin’ in where they fit in (which is ghetto fab) with the latest single off their album Flight 360: The Takeoff.

Jaycee dropped this for Tuesday’s Afternoon Delight and it’s slammin’. Read the rest of this entry »

Connections matter, and when trying to break through in anything, it sometimes helps to know the right people. Willy Northpole could do much worse than DTP, as he attempts to break into mainstream Hip-Hop with the aptly named Tha Connect. With the support of Luda’s gang and a few key guest appearances from credible hitmakers (Ne-Yo, Tha Bizness) and underground up-and-comers (B.o.B,) the foundation should be set for success.

And it is, as Tha Connect has several elements of a good Hip-Hop album, particularly in terms of production. The beats balance consistency with range, from the grimey bass of “Body Marked Up,” to the old school jazz vibe of “Feeling Alright.” The infectious “Hood Dreamer,” anchors the album as a loud, bombastic summer anthem, while Willy channels his hunger into appropriate swaggerific rhyming.

Is anyone even paying attention to Brother Northpole round these parts? His debut album Tha Connect features contributions from Tha Bizness, B.o.B. a.k.a. Bobby Ray and obviously Bobby Valentino and is being released through Ludacris’ DTP label.

Going by what Gotty™ said yesterdayposting this is a no-brainer.  Jaycee took his hour long set on Atlanta’s V-103  to pay his respects to MJ on Friday. Not much more needs to be said here, so just download and consume at your leisure.

I think I’m about ready to hear a mixtape or something from 20.

DTP’s I-20 is usually hit or miss with me. On his feature spots or group cuts, he usually knocks it out the park easily, with his bass-heavy vocals that standout. By himself, it’s a roll of the dice. Over this Salaam Remi production, he hits a seven though.
