This quite literally put a massive smile on my face. No joke. Common & Queen Latifah rock out (actually rock out!) with some kids from Staten Island, performing “Champion”.
…I mean, I’ll be damned! See the passion in those kids faces? Bless up.
Peace, Love, Common & Queen Latifah

Hmm, I’m diggin’ the production this (Ye’ comes through yet again) – do I love the track? Actually don’t think I do? The ‘hey hey hey’ is a little annoying? It’s not terrible, I think it’s a grower if anything. Thank Me Later drops June 15th.

I have absolutely no idea what this is going to sound like, but I’ve liked Oliver since she dropped her debut single “Bizzounce” and despite her short lived sprint with G-Unit, have always kinda wanted her to come back. SO, I’m posting up her new mixtape (which was just sent to me) in hopes that it’s going to sound somewhat decent. Don’t hate on me if it’s wack – we’re all learning. Peep the tracklist after the jump…
Update: A couple tracks into this, I can’t lie – it sounds pretty decent. Definitely one for you R&B heads.
Peace, Love & Olivia

Earlier today Theophilus London dropped his much hyped new mixtape I Want You. I’ve had a crazy long and busy day, so I haven’t even had a chance to download this yet, but soon as I finish writing this post the first thing I intend on doing is consuming this tape. The leaks that have dropped so far have been pretty impressive and so I have no doubt that the project as a whole will not disappoint. Peep the tracklist after the jump…
Peace, Love & Theophilus London
