New From Nas


The long awaited album from Nas is still being pushed back after all of the controversy over his decision to change the name from "Nigger" . There were many rumours flying around that Def Jam had refused to release the album under the old name, and as a result Nas went on record to say "It's important to me that this album gets to the fans". Def Jam has denied this though, and Nas has made the move to leave the album untitled now.

Here is a statement Nas made:




"It's important to me that this album gets to the fans," Nas told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “It's been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It's that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it."

Whenever it is finally released, it will be interesting to see what he comes with. In the meantime here is a track from the upcoming album titled "N.I.G.G.E.R (the slave and the master)", take a listen...

New From Busta


Busta Rhymes returns to the hip hop scene with this collaboration with Linkin Park. The track is called ' We Made It'. It was produced by Cool & Dre and also Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. This is the first single from Busta's upcoming album, 'Blessed' coming soooon!


I love Busta, and I like Linkin Park, but this track is taking a lil while to grow on me. Still, it's great to have something new from him! Enjoy :)

Frau Aike


I wanted to introduce you do an new artist on the electronic scene!

Frau Aike started producing electronic music at the beginning of 2004 in San Francisco when the creativity of the city, life with a musician gone wild, 20 years of experience with classic piano and a midi-keyboard standing about created a drive that eventually and inevitably culminated in the production of the first tracks.


Her music is strong, playful, warm, tough and different. But her tracks always reflect a strong intuition of atmospheres and moods.

Recently, Frau Aike added even more spice to her life of producing, partying and pimping and took up electronic deejaying. In both her life and music, anything goes - as long as it's sexy.

Get ready for some hot minimal techno, elektroclash and techno :)

Here is a track that I think is amazing, check it out:

The D.E.Y

The D.E.Y

I had heard about this group, the D.E.Y a while ago, on another record. I had a link to them in the left column. But anyhoo, this group...some good stuff here. The group is made up of MC Divine, Yeyo and singer Elan. They follow the footsteps of other Latin Hip Hop groups such as The Black Eyed Peas, and The Fugees. They are due to release their first album in June 2008, called 'The D.E.Y Has Come'. Previously they were featured on Paula DeAnda's single 'Walk Away (Remember Me)'. More recently they have worked alongside Sean Kingston and Juelz Santana in the single 'There's Nothin' (Remix)'.


You can check them out at their website here
or at their myspace here
