Common live in Atlanta + new album cover/tracklist

02. Punch Drunk Love (Feat. Kanye West)
03. Make My Day (Feat. Cee-Lo Green)
04. Sex 4 Sugar
05. Announcement (Feat. Pharrell Williams)

09. What a World
10. Everywhere

NEW MUSIC: Joe Budden – Halfway House (album)
October 27, 2008Here’s some free music from one of the most underrated dudes in the game. Joey’s been one of my favorite rappers for years now – he’s consistent as hell and can shine on pretty much any kind of track. Click the cover to download this new project, which is the prelude to his forthcoming album Padded Room.

NEW MUSIC: Mos Def – “Life In Marvelous Times”
October 24, 2008The Mighty Mos has leaked the first offering from his forthcoming fourth LP The Ecstatic via this nifty widget above. The album drops in November on Downtown Records, which is also home to Gnarls Barkley. This song is DOPE.

Diz Gibran – “Stereo” (live video)
October 24, 2008Dizzy premieres another new joint via the good folks at HHO.

The Foreign Exchange feat. Muhsinah – “Daykeeper” (video)
October 24, 2008This is a haunting clip for a truly beautiful song. The way the vocals blend and the mood builds throughout the track is remarkable. With Leave It All Behind, along with his work earlier this year with Zo!, I think Phonte has established himself as one of the most talented artists in hip hop.
