R&N - 04/11/08 - FLASHBACK FRIDAY!!

THROWBACK ATL!!!

Whats up everyboy, it's your boy DT. Today I'm putting the spotlight on the ATL (which has basically been running rap for nearly 10 years). Nowadays, it's hard to imagine a time when southern artists weren't at the forefront of Hip-Hop. I feel old cause I remember it well. Its crazy to see how far the South has come. This is the first stop on the Flashback Southern City Tour.

Ludacris - Welcome To Atlanta (2001)

Outkast - So Fresh So Clean (2000)

T.I.P. - 24s (2003)

Ying Yang Twins - Say Yi Yi (2001)

Lil Jon - Bia Bia (2001)

There you have it folks, bringin back the good 'ole days of the ATL. If you ask me, it went down hill as soon snap music came on to the scene (I blame you JD!!!). Next week I'm headin down to Screwston in the candy coated slab on 84s to continue the FlashBack Tour.

02/20/08 - Hump Day EXCLUSIVES

My apologies for the late post, I just got back from seein' Barack Obama at a rally where I'm at, AND Chelsea Clinton came to my school so I had to dwell in some politics today, but nevertheless Hump Day is here and here are the Exclusives.

Introducing: O'neal McknightBe prepared 'cause I am going to attempt and break this song multiple times, so this joint will be posted multiple times. But don't worry, the track is a banger! He goes by the name of O'neal Mcknight and has been cosigned by the who's who in the music industry. Diddy, Jermaine, Quincy Jones, Swizz, Russel Simmons, etc all luv this joint and luv his sound. The track in discussion is called Check Your Coat, and yes as usual its buzzing out there in NYC and slowly but steadily spreading. The sound? Unlike anything right now. Funky, feel-good, club song, that you can't help but dance or try to dance to. Produced by DJ Cassidy, a top DJ for all those people I just named dropped, and Dub-L, the song is an infectious blend of 80s synths and heavy drum-laced sounds of the 90s. Yes another throwback ode to the 80s/90s joint I know but this joint is good. I can't even explain it anymore, just listen. He just recently signed to Motown and is re shooting is low budget video with Little X, tons of cameos, including Christopher Lloyd of Back To The Future fame and the car, the Deleron. Check out his myspace, check out the song, Check Your Coat. Holla.

O'Neal Mcknight - Check Your Coat ft. Greg Nice

MTB 4 Exclusive Track: ExclusiveIf you watch MTB 4 you would have heard this song many times in the episodes that air. It's titled Exclusive and its the hottest jam I've seen 'em come with so far. If they release this track as their first single I'm sure it'll do well. Even if it don't you'll get to hear it here regardless. Holla.

MTB 4 (aka Day 26) - Exclusive

Felli Gets Buck In Here With Akon & Co.Cali DJ Felli Fell who is big stuff out there on the west coast for the past few months has been spreading his talent and making much noise with his track Buck In Here. The club "banger" has heavyweights Akon, Ludacris, Diddy, and Lil Jon all on the track. It even includes a beat change. Check out the recently Def Jam signed artist's track here an watch the video, MAD cameos in here.

Mario On Dancing With The Stars???WTF? That's all I got. I was unaware he fell off. Isn't that show for celebs trying to make a comeback or rejuvenate their careers? Not a good look, Mario.

Tony Yayo Outta TroubleRemember those charges Tony got for allegedly beating up one of Game's manager's kids well all charges have been dropped. But that don't mean he innocent, the lesser charges are a result of him agreeing to a plead deal. Instead of facing criminal charges YaYo just has to do community service. I think he lucked out. If he really did beat on the kid, he need to be in trouble.

Yezzur, that's it, I'm Out - Dilly

R&N - 12/27/07 - Exclusives

Yung Joc the Fugitive



















In case yall didn't know, Yung Joc whose real name is Jasiel Robinson, was accused of trying to take a loaded semiautomatic handgun onto a Delta Air Lines flight on Sunday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. He was charged with a felony for carrying a concealed weapon and released that day. Now Joc was scheduled for an arraignment Wednesday morning, which for some odd ball reason skipped out on officially making him a fugitive. I don't if there was a misunderstanding or if Mr. Robinson is just that dumb but either way this is not a good luck. When I first heard this story I thought it was a setup. Now that he skipping court dates, I just don't know. We'll keep you posted as the story goes along.

Jay-Z leaves Def Jam





















As I'm sure you've all heard, Jay Z's tenure as Def Jam's President has come to an end. Jay Z, after weeks of contract negotiations has decided to step down and take on new challenges. Jay will still be a Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam recording artist, but just won't be in the exec. board meetings. I think Jay 'bout to head to another record company, but then that'll mean he'll be competing against stuff he built up. He did sign Ne-Yo and Rihanna, and we all know how they did. Also, look to JD to take over that top spot.

Bow Wow, Omarion and Chris Brown team up











The teen heartthrob trio made likes the Boston Celtics and teamed up for this joint that is sure to burn some kinda airwaves, peep the joint here first, and let us know what you think.

Bow Wow & Omarion ft. Chris Brown - Slam

Also, peep this other Chris Brown track that's been floating around. The boy just don't stop.

Chris Brown - Fallen Angel

Usher ft. Ludacris pt. 3?


















New dad Usher is almost done with his new album, and supposedly this track which has been floating around lately is rumored to be on it. It's got Luda on it, and kinda of channels the energy of "Yeah". I don't know if that's the kinda sound that's gonna work these days, but it is different enough to get your head movin', peep the track here first.

Usher ft. Ludacris - Dat Girl Right There

Raz B flip flopping or making money?























I don't wanna touch on this subject to much, because it is a little messy but earlier this week, Raz B and his older brother released a video on the web ACCUSING Chris Strokes, currently manager of Omarion and MH, and former manager of B2K of molesting them when he was 12. Stuff like making them take showers together and what not...Yeah I know. Ok, so just yesterday, a few days later Raz B releases ANOTHER video, talkin' bout what he said earlier was false and retracts all statements he said that may hurt Chris, Omarion, and MH. Now either Raz B really want attention, or Stokes cut that check. Either way Raz always was a little fruity to me anyway.

Ciara still movin'

Ciara just released a new video for her single That's Right w/ Lil Jon. The video had been expected a long time ago but it's just now surfacing. It kinda reminiscent of her Goodies video and we got Lil Jon in the house trying to make a comeback. Check it out here.

Cherish are Killas

Cherish, girl group, couple years back during the snap phase who had the joint do it, to it. Yeah they back got a song called Killa, and it's pretty hot, here go the video, and your welcome.

Lil' Jon - Crunk, An Official Word


Lil' Jon is gonna be crunk about this... The word "crunk" has officially been added to the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary. The word is one of 100 new words that will be included in the 2007 edition Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. "It's amazing that the word has become that popular," Lil' Jon told AHH.com. "We been saying 'crunk' in Atlanta [for] as long as I can remember. All I did was put it on a record and let the world know our lifestyle! We live to get crunk n the south and I guess Webster's dictionary recognized that and how big the music has been in the last 10 years."
