Jay Z - Brooklyn (Go Hard)

This is off the soundtrack to the upcoming film Notorious. Jay Z has been doing well on these KanYe tracks as of late. And Santogold is on the track, both in sample and actual form, which is pretty cool. The beat is kind of reminiscent of Swagger Like Us; replace MIA with Santogold, change the [...]

Ludacris - I Do It For Hip Hop (feat. Nas & Jay Z)

This is a massive collaboration. Ludacris has always held it down for the South. Nas and Jay Z are locked in an eternal battle for the King of New York title. Put all 3 of them together on a track, and you pretty much can’t fail. The beat is by Wyldfyer, who has few production [...]

Jay Z - History

A nice track, not sure, but I’m pretty sure its off of The Blueprint 3, which, if you haven’t heard, looks like its not going to come out this year.

Viva La Hova on TRL

Remot - What If We Cry? (inst.)

Viva La Hova - Back At My Place (inst.)

Viva La Remot! Been sitting on the instrumentals for the two tracks Remot did on this mixtape for a minute now. And seeing as this project has become a bit of a fan favourite, I’m gonna pass these along to you guys. First, is Back At My Place, which samples the drums from Coldplay’s [...]

Raphael Saadiq - The Way I See It

Modern R&B has left a bad taste in my mouth. It has gone in a direction, that I don’t really feel is in the same spirit as the music of the 60s and 70s. However, every once in a while, an artist steps through that really proves that the genre is still viable, and the [...]
