Jaicko - Oh Yeah (Remix)
Submitted by Fivefold on Tue, 08/11/2009 - 19:13When I think about Barbados, I think about calypso. But Barbados is also making its mark on the world pop scene with the likes of Rihanna (and, to a lesser degree, her friend Shontelle). Right now, there's a new kid on the block that's eager to carry the torch. "Oh Yeah" is the lead single to Jaicko's forthcoming debut, Can I. It's got the cosign of Bigg Snoop Dogg, who jumped on for a remix
All-4-One - My Child
Submitted by Fivefold on Wed, 08/05/2009 - 21:18Man, I had not heard of All-4-One for over a decade it seems. And now I hear they're trying a comeback. Much has changed since the days of "I Swear" and "I Can Love You Like That", but personally I'm rooting for them. Their new album, No Regrets, should be out September 15. The first single is called "My Child". Do peep!
Slaughterhouse - Onslaught 2
Submitted by Fivefold on Mon, 08/03/2009 - 22:43You should know who Slaughterhouse is by now, the supergroup (Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9" and Crooked I) have an album coming out soon. Their record label (Koch) would have a hard time keeping the anticipation at the frenzy level it is if they weren't keeping us salivating with bits and pieces like this.

Day26 - Imma Put It On Her
Submitted by Fivefold on Thu, 03/12/2009 - 20:56Diddy has taken Twitter by storm and, now as P Twitty, has promised a resurgence of the Bad Boy mid-90's dominance. His first card is Day26 -- you can peep their new single. It might not be fair to call them the new 112, but the comparison is hard to escape. And if Yung Joc is the new Mase, where's the new Biggie? (Blasphemy?)

Submitted by Fivefold on Thu, 03/05/2009 - 03:45I'm liking this! Nas has teamed up with Marsha Ambrosius (Floerty) to redo "If I Ruled The World." Here are some bits from the press release to explain how this one came about:
The makers of Smirnoff vodka announced the launch of the second annual Smirnoff Signature Mix Series, a campaign designed to bring together respected artists in the hip hop community to recreate clearly original versions of iconic hip hop songs, with newly-mixed interpretation.
