The Advance copy of Dirty Acres hit the net yesterday...but with promo bot voices. I peeped it, and the album is musically and lyrically brilliant. But do yourself a favor and don't bother downloading the advance. Heres a teaser tho. Going to be buying this album. Drops November 27th. Its going to be hard waiting on this album, damn promos! This will be one of, if not the best, releases of 2007 guaranteed.

(Rap)

11-twista-creep_fast_(feat._t-pain)
16-twista-aint_no_hoes_(feat._bone_thugs_n_harmony)

Twista's new album is out on the 18th. This album is supposed to be more "street" ...hence taking it back to the first adrenaline rush. But it doesnt even come close to the original in my opinion, but hey dont listen to me, always find out for yourself. I expect more out of twista on this album.

Havoc-The_Kush-2007
(Rap)

Havoc of Mobb Deep new solo album hits stores next week. Havoc does all the production, the beat is nice in this track.

Check out Scribes new single from his new album "Rhymebook" due in Oct. This single has more of a commercial appeal to it....hopefully P Money handles most of the production on this. Its been 4 years since "The Crusader" so hopefully Scribe can pull through with a good album. Scribe is New Zealand's biggest hip-hop act.
