Mos Def Signs with G.O.O.D. Music
According to MTV, Mos Def inked a deal with Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label.
I am the only one NOT surprised by this. Although this is exciting news to me as a long time Kanye and Mos fan, this deal his been a long time coming.
Let's see what comes out of this super label that Kanye has been creating.
G.O.O.D. Music '10 > Roc-a-Fella '01 ... *Kanye shrug*
Yo Gotti- Look in the Mirror (Remix) Feat. Wale, J. Cole, & Wiz Khalifa Teaser
Another artist reaches out to The Freshman to create some buzz (al-la French Montana) and it obviously worked because I would NOT be posting a Yo Gotti joint otherwise.
Beat sounds pretty typical but you cant argue with a Wale, Cole, Yo Gotti, Khalifa lineup. Stay tuned.
Mikey Rocks - S.S. f. Latif [Video]
All these solo Rocks joints pose the question: is he better with or without Chuck on the boards?

Kanye West – So Appalled feat. Jay-Z, RZA, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & CyHi Da Prynce
These 'Ye G.O.O.D. Friday joints tend to remind me that it's even Friday.
I'd say this is a good reminder.
I'd say this is a good reminder.
Although RZA is one of my least favorite Wu members, its still refreshing that 'Ye reached out to him at all. And this was a GREAT look for CyHi too. (BTW: Did Kanye sign him yet?)

Award Tour | Ivy Mountains x Peace of the 1990
I've been a fan of Award Tour for sometime now. Back when my man Bragg first put me on, I've always notice it's virtually impossible to get anything you like unless you sit by your computer at the precise time of the release date. First they have really small print orders and second, the gear is too nice.
["Peace of the 1990" Pocket Tee Shirts]
Here's a look at 2 new items to add to my wishlist and hopefully yours. First is the "Peace of the 1990" Pocket Tee Shirts, then you have the "Ivy Mountains" Long Sleeve. More on these items after the jump.
