HMD-One_Pursuit-2007
(Hiphop)

HMD is a up and coming producer from San Fran. This is his debut release and is sure to get him noticed. Masta Ace and Wordsworth help out with the standout track "Imma Make It" And of course Ace drops a flawless verse...the man has to be the most consistent hiphop artist out today.

(Hiphop)

Common Market consists of RA Scion (Emcee) and Sabzi (Beats). Sabzi also does beats for the Blue Scholars. I slept on this heavily back in 05', so go ahead and check it out its full of slick beats from sabzi and quality emceeing.


Common Market - Love One

In November Mattafix did a live radio show in Germany, doing acoustic versions of their songs. And the result was a dope musical experience. You wont find these acoustic versions anywhere else but here so enjoy! And if you haven't already make sure you find a way to order Rhythm and Hymns online, this cd needs to be in your collection and should not be bootlegged!


Mattafix - Shake Your Limbs (Acoustic)

Atmosphere-Sad_Clown_Bad_Winter_11-2007
(Hiphop)


Atmosphere - Don't Stop

Lupe_Fiasco-The_Cool-2007
(Hiphop)

Lupe's newest offering ends off a solid year of music in 2007. Although "The Cool" is not as good as I hoped, its still a good album and should not be overlooked.


Lupe Fiasco - Hip Hop Saved My Life Ft Nikki Jean

Shad-The_Old_Prince-2007
(Hiphop)

Hailing from London Ontario, Shad is one of those down to earth cats that you meet after a show and will spend the time to make you a fan. After seeing him open for Sweatshop in Kelowna, I was amazed at how well he warmed up the crowd. People will know his name in the next year or two!


Shad - Exile

Cyne-Grey_Matter_EP-2007
(Hiphop)

Finally some news from CYNE. Grey Matter is a digital only ep available at their website for download ( http://cyne.net/CYNE_GreyMatter.zip ) As for the new album.... its titled " Pretty Dark Things" and is due in Feb 2008. If you purchase the album from CYNE directly they will include a bonus Cd of all new unreleased material, and even the "Fallen Stars" Ep that never saw the light of day.

Wu-Tang_Clan-8_Diagrams-2007
(Hiphop)

The highly anticipated new album from the Wu camp. Sadly this album disappoints. Its been well documented by hiphop news sites about the turmoil within the group. The new Ghostface is better in my opinion. I just expected more but it still has a few solid tracks.


Wu-Tang - Campfire

Madcon-So_Dark_The_Con_Of_Man-2007
(Hiphop)

Madcon's newest cd is pretty good, and it features Vinni from the Paperboys! Unless your in Norway you can pick up this cd, good luck getting it otherwise.


Madcon - Back On The Road Ft Paperboys

Madcon - Lets Dance Instead

Aim-Cold_Water_Music-Reissue-2007
(Hiphop)

This is a throwback from 99 that just got reissued recently. Aim brings that classic hiphop sound with jazzy loops, horns, and upbeat lyrics. I suggest looking up his discography...

Aim - Aint Got Time To Waste Ft Yz

Cassidy-B.A.R.S.-2007
(Rap)

This has been out for awhile now...but what do u expect when I work 12 hours a day! Nice beat on this song with some nice vocals from John Legend. Not a big fan of Cassidy but this song is worth checking out.


Cassidy - Celebrate Ft John Legend

There is a new TQ album dropping feb 12, 2008. Judging by the sampler this one should be better than his last. Peep 'Dolce Vita' below.


TQ - Dolce Vita
