BUN B ft. Sugar Tounge Slim - THE SOUTH
Bun B comes hard on the track with his signature flow, and the beat is sick. The Jodeci sample is clean. However, I have a problem with Sugar claiming that he is the baddest pimp since Pimp C. Come on man... then you have the nerve to come through with a verse that sounds like the Pimp wrote it. That pi$$es me off just a little bit.
Usher is trying to make his comeback, but he has an up hill battle.....no pun intended, i'm serious. It's a good track, but guys like Trey Songs, Mario, and Ne-Yo have been killing the R&B game in Mr. Raymond's absence. I'm not counting Usher out, but he needs to put out something stronger than what I have heard so far.
The Cool Kids are a breath of fresh air for Hip-Hop. I'm just glad to hear that there are rappers out in the game that just do it to have fun and not as a side business to their main job in the drug game which most rappers want to portray. Don't get me wrong these "Kids" are very good on the mic. It has an old school feel to it, and will keep your head nodding.
JOHNTA AUSTIN - SAY SO
This guy knows how to craft a hit. He has done it for plenty of other singers and it sounds just a good when he does it himself. Definitely Check This Out!!

My boy Raheem Devaughn, whose album drops today, is still blazing waves with his track Woman. There's a plethora of remixes out there with a lot of rappers jumping on the track but here at Music Forecast 3.0 we got something better. Raheem sort of links up with Kanye and is featured on the Flashing Lights remix. Yes, I know another Flashing Lights remix but this joint is hot. See for yourself here. Also, check out Hot Boy.
You may or may not have heard of these boys before, but The Cool Kids I believe are yet another breath of fresh air in Hip Hop. These two cats linked up through myspace two years ago and set out to produce throw back beats that other rappers can get on. After liking there beats too much the two began to rap on their own beats and thus The Cool Kids were born. The style is like an ode to rap in the late 80s, early 90s and the beats are heavy on the 808 and I challenge you to try and keep from nodding your head. Now although I think the lyricism ain't nothing special, they really don't be talking about nutin', their swagger is so much you just can't complain. The Cool Kids started to create a buzz last year and it's getting louder and louder with an album set to drop this year and a Rhapsody commerical spot with indie artist Sarah Barielles. Peep these tracks here from this duo and let us know what you think.
Shawty Lo is continuing to amaze me. This cat goes from snapping and clapping with D4L, a group that now is pretty laughable, to making tracks with a lot of A-listers in Hip Hop. His tracks I'm Da Man, was hot, remix had like 4 cats on there, then he comes with They Know which is killin' the waves right now. And the remix? He got Ludacris, who killed it, Jeezy, who also came with it, Plies and Lil Wayne on the joint. I don't know about no album but at least we know there is life after snap music...although I did hear Dem Franchise Boys comin' out with another album. Anyway, peep Shawty Lo's video here.
