Bloody hell, what a line-up. Here is a new single from Trae's upcoming album, Street King, which will be available to buy on July 12th. Granted you won't like all of the song, but there is something in there for everyone. Lupe & Big Boi's verses are tight as ever.

Full and mastered version of Common's first single off his upcoming album, The Believer, which is set to be released on his new label Warner Bros. in November. Classic Hip-Hop, from two of the greatest rappers of all-time. No more words, just listen.

YES YES YES! Mick Boogie and Jazzy Jeff are back with a follow up to their critically acclaimed Summertime mixtape that went down a storm last year. Last year was special, but this is even better, in my opinion. Mick is a legend, but Jazzy is one of my favourite producers/DJs of all-time - everything about this is has classic vibes. Jocelyn Brown, to Slum Village, to Tom Browne - what more could you want from a Summer mixtape?! You can get your download HERE, and check the tracklist over @ StupidDope.

Here is the lead single off Yelawolf's Shady debut, Radioactive, which is due out September 27th. If this is anything to go by, then the album will be one to look out for. CyHi on top form as ever.

These two snippets are taken from the new Tokyo Dawn Records compilation, Volume 2, which is a musical homage to the iconic heart symbol which refers to the core of the human being, representing love and passion worldwide. I've been waiting to hear something from Mr. Rico since being introduced to his work by British rapper Ty (he reminds me of Stevie Wonder), and this excites me greatly for what he's going to bring to the table in 2011/2012. Häzel on the other hand is slowly becoming one of my favourite Hip-Hop producers in the world right now; he has such a unique sound and stuff like this is very reminiscent of the late Jay Dee. A brilliant compilation, that you can purchase HERE.

My favourite track from Dom Kennedy's new album, From The Westside With Love II, which is available on iTunes NOW. Dope beats, dope rhymes and that smooth groove that we've come to expect from DK and many other West Coast artists over the years. Summer jam.

My favourite track from Akshin Alizadeh's Cold Busted debut, El Gran Duelo, which will be available on August 17th. As with any CB release, the samples are as obscure and spectacular ever (which are mainly Spanish this time round, if you couldn't guess from the title), but this has a lot more funk than usual and is the most enjoyable release to come from the label in a while - 10 tracks of pure Downtempo genius with lots of soul and groove thrown in there for good measure. Those keys make me feel happy about life.
"WALK, WALK, YEAHAHHH!"

New Orleans rapper and Hip-Hop connoisseur Curren$y thrives on making music on his own terms. With his “Jet Life” mantra about living life to the fullest, the savvy rhyme spitter is focused on a lyrical devotion to the truth and authenticity. It’s because of this ethos that the man born Shante Anthony Franklin has transcended any regional rap stereotypes to become a favourite of bloggers, critics, fans and everyone in between. Now aligned with Warner Bros., the plan is to let Spitta be himself, but have even more people get acquainted with the Jet Life. Big album, and here is my favourite track from it. Out tomorrow.
