Jigz – Henny N Cola [Audio]
The homie Steve-O takes a stab at the Too Deep For The Intro beat. This was probably my favorite joint off Friday Night Lights so it's good to hear someone else over it. Be on the look out for his upcoming mixtape, The Face On Mars.. which with be available for download right here on New Years.

Ok, now Ima Dipset fan as much as a the next man. That doesn't mean I listen to every track they put out. I'll be honest and say this one was missed. Caught this today on MTV Jams and I must say I'm really feeling it (prod. by araabMUSIK). I see you Capo..

The Kickdrums - Animal [Video]
Videos really don't get trippier than this. Look out for Meet Your Ghost coming soon.
Previously - Kickdrums - Animal [Audio]
Diggy - Digg Is Like [Audio]
Looks like it's another classic Nas beat for Young Simmons (no Jojo) He did his thing yet again though. This one off Past Presents Future, dropping December 23rd.
Nipsey Hussle - Mr. Untouchable (feat. Kokane) [Audio]
Hussle hooks up with westcoast legend Kokane on his Marathon and quest to resurface the West coast on the mainstream map. (even thought the West is dong it the largest in the "blog" scene in my opinion)
The Marathon mixtape drops December 21st
Curren$y - Daze of Thunder [Video]
Spitta links up with Creative Control yet again for visuals over the Ross beat that sounds like it should have been his in the 1st place.
Wiz Khalifa - Taylor Gang [Live Performance]
Khalifa decided to premier his latest Lex Luger produced track during a hometown Pittsburgh show.
Wiz is one more cliche song away from selling out in my opinion. I've been a long time fan (well before his K&OJ fame) and I've noticed he's been going to a lot of hip hop's "go-to's" since the deal. If something is working for you well enough to gain the kind of interest he did, why change the formula? Since the deal, I havent heard one Juliano leak or one Sledgren leak but he's released joints by Stargate (Black and Yellow was tight though, I cant fake on it) The Bizness and now Lex Luger to name a few. Now don't get me wrong, I'm hella happy for his success and wish nothing but the best for his movement but as a fan, I really don't wanna see him pull a Drake (see: Comeback Season)

Night Catches Us [Trailer]
"In 1976, complex political and emotional forces are set in motion when a young man returns to the race-torn Philadelphia neighborhood where he came of age during the Black Power movement" I find this very interesting and hopefully it's playing near by.
Mayer Hawthrone – Christmas Time Is Here [Audio]
