Almost a year’s worth of impossibly high expectations has been met and exceeded. Simply put, this is a great album. You need to hear it.
You can stream the whole thing below, and underneath that you can find some bonuses: a song that didn’t make the album, a video for Relaxin’, plus a few rambling subjective thoughts about the album from yours truly.
Final (and best yet) commercial before the rapidly approaching and highly anticipated 1.1.11 release date. If you missed the previous two commercials you can see them on Lawrence and Clark’s vimeo page here.
As a refresher, I put together a brief collection of my favorite G-Side songs released in 2010. I purposefully left off all remixes, ST and Clova solos and group guest appearances – the 6 songs included are (imo) the pure distillation of what the group had to offer this year as a representation of their unique aesthetic. THESE are why I’m looking forward to their next album.
A new mixtape from O’Third Ent, put together in celebration of their official one year anniversary. It’s a pretty comprehensive overview of their short but productive existence. Several highlights from their debut In The Box are included, although I think that mixtape/album was a great release in of itself and is well worth hearing in it’s entirety (you can now get it on ITunes and DatPiff) The real appeal of the compilation is in collecting a lot of their more prominent loose singles under one roof – the workhorse manifesto ‘Can’t Outwork’em’, the inspirational ‘Somebody’, G-Side’s Bossman produced Huntspace voyage ‘I’m Sorry’, Zilla’s club oriented collab with Jackie Chain ‘Ladies on the floor’ – all included. There are also a few new songs too, I’m really enjoying the two by Zilla so they’re featured below. ‘Like A Jungle’ particularly is a a big favorite at the moment due to three absolutely ridiculous verses by Zilla, Clova and Bentley respectively.
Tracklist for the whole mixtape is below the jump.
Next year DB49 and Obama dollaz will change a housewife into a ho: #changeyoucanbelievein
DB49 week continues bumpin’ and gridin’ along towards the Friday release of the Happy Hour album. This track is a bonus of sorts, it will be featured on an upcoming DBG mixtape but will not be on the album. G-Side’s Clova was on the boards for this one and also has a guest verse, hopefully you will see a full solo mixtape from him posted here sometime soon.
New G-Side video for a brand new track produced by R.Dot aka The Intern and released via his blog. Props to him for doing well in what I imagine to be a somewhat daunting situation.
As promised, I’m bumping this back to the top because there’s now an MP3 courtesy of Codie G. Click below for some thoughts on this song and some BONUS NEW SMS-related swag.
