Probably my favorite track off Webby’s debut EP, There Goes The Neighborhood, the Ninja takes his ’95 Altima to an abandoned building where he shows just what he does. As the budget gets bigger, so do the videos. Webby exercises his ability to deliver punch after punch while flowing with a purpose.

New joint from Kid Ink produced by Ned Cameron. I’m speculating in saying this may be the first single off his debut album? If not, the first official leak off his next mixtape.

This track dropped days ago, but I never got around to posting it. Finally, Macklemore is getting recognition (in my book, a likely pick for one of XXL’s 2012 Freshman). Here he joins Wale & Emelio Rojas on Tony Williams track, the first major collab I’ve seen from Macklemore. While he held his own on this verse, hopefully we’ll see more coming from the Seattle star soon.

Mr. Dillard, aka Flo Rida hops on Rihanna’s infectious radio smash. Shocking. Appears Flo couldn’t resist giving the Calvin Harris beat a shot because it’s clearly not an official remix.

Christmas got the best of me this past week. While I should have been supplying a daily dosage of hip-hop to my FNT faithful, I’ve been eating my grandma’s cookies, drinking my dads beer, and buying 1/2 priced Christmas candy (Cherry Cordial Hershey Kisses, sleeper candy) . So rather than flooding you with ten separate posts, I’ll keep it short and sweet and fire off all the tracks you’ll want, that you may have missed.

If you’re still trying to decipher the words that came out of young Khaliyl’s mouth, stop. The kid’s only two. I’m sure if he knew how to talk, he would be rolling the ABC’s of rap off his little British tongue. He’s definitely got the body language of rap down and he bobs with the beat. If Tinie Tempah doesn’t sign this kid, Jay-Z better.
In other news, “DANGERRRRR, WATCH YO’SELF,” Mystikal is back and he brought his friend vengeance . Is it just me or is this close to vintage? Just when I thought he had packed his bags, he inks a new deal with Cash Money and debuts this brand new record. Thank you Weezy?

The fifth track off Roscoe Dash’s debut EP, “J.U.I.C.E.” which is set for a a December 20th release. Roscoe & Wale saw unparalleled success with their collab on “No Hands” in which they were both featured on Waka Flocka’s hit track, so once again they link up to deliver an early morning club hit.The second Wale track is a freestyle he did with fellow DMV artist, Black Cobain, who he recently revealed in an interview was one of his favorite up and coming artists. Personally I’ve thought Tyga’s “Rack City” was overhyped and I never really saw the appeal, but clearly the masses think otherwise.

After giving us a new track just a few days ago, Vizzy cuts the lock on another one, this time produced by The Awesome Sound. XV was in the studio with Drama Beats earlier this week and although this track isn’t produced by Drama himself, he’s dedicating it to his #youngandreckless Squarians.

The overwhelming realization that Mystikal still had it nearly knocked me unconscious and when I heard Ashanti was back as well, I almost broke out my Discman and $10 Sony headphones to bring me back to the good-ole-days. Sadly I don’t think we’ll ever hear the Ashanti we grew accustomed to hearing back in the late 90’s and early 00’s, but for a comeback, this isn’t terrible. Her larynx appears to still be in tact and Busta picks up the slack to make this a decent track. Pardon the quality, I’ll share the CDQ once I find it if you’d like.
Hip-Hop | Red Cafe ft. Trey Songz, Wale &, J. Cole – Fly Together (Remix)
Posted by GMONEY on December 8, 2011
For the offical remix to his Ryan Leslie produced hit, Bad Boy’s Red Cafe recruits MMG’s Wale and Roc Nation’s J. Cole for dope verses, and Trigga Trey on the hook. Unfortunatly this version has some pretty annoying Funk Flex tags on it, but we’ll get you the final version ASAP. Who had the best verse? I’m going with J. Cole, but voice your opinion in the comment section.

Mashups | TommyNicks – Country Hands (The Band Perry x Waka Flocka x Wale x Roscoe Dash)
Posted by Mach on November 24, 2011
I know exactly what you are thinking, “Waka, Wale, & Country? I’ll Pass.” Surprisingly enough this mashup sounds great, the country beat works amazingly well with No Hands. I have honestly been kind of sick of mashups lately, everyone is using the same electro beats and same accapellas. There has just been no creativity, but this mashup is great. It is projects like this that make some people stand out from the pack.

Hip-Hop, Mashups | The White Panda – G.O.O.D.G.I.R.L.S.
Posted by Grubeats on November 3, 2011
The White Panda unleashes this heavenly mash of Wale and Dillion Francis. Some artists acapella’s sound good over anything. Wale is one of those artists. I’m not sure what it is, but when you put Wale’s vocals over fast, funky, dance beats, the result is always audio gold. Check the throwback below of Wale’s remix of D.A.N.C.E. if you don’t believe me.

Hip-Hop | Wale ft. Meek Mill & Rick Ross- Ambition
Posted by GMONEY on October 27, 2011
I’d usually write something insanely witty and thoughtful, but this Cardinals win has me at a loss. I’m not even sure that the Rangers can come back from something like that. I’ll get off my soap box. This song is absolutely disgusting. First Lotus Flower Bomb, then Best Night Ever, and now this. Ever since Wale pledged allegiance to the Maybach, he’s flourished under Rozay’s guidance. It’s impressive. A few years ago, he was putting out sub-par singles with Lady Gaga. Now, he’s dripping swag-goo. I’m officially a Wale fan.
