I still haven’t gotten around to checking this joint out for myself (I know, I know), but I’ve surpisingly enough heard only good things about it. I mean, I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s always though Pooh was the weak link in Little Brother (of course he’s improved greatly with each release), so this may be worth it. Whatever the case it’s an LB fan must have as well as Ace recommended. Let me know if it’s worth my time. Features from Murs, Median, Joe Scudda, Phonte, O-Dash, Darien Brockington, & Spectac.

Since I mentioned them previously (in the post about Basic Vocab) here are some more Southern cats who really know how to put it down. Hailing from Waco, TX these dudes keep it Southern stylisitcally, but do it with a level of intelligence that the most picky hip hop fan can enjoy. Def for fans of Little Brother, Basic Vocab, and Nicoly & Kay (at least check the tracklist before you make your decision).

Because cats from the South can rap too (and not on some Soulja Boy level either). Check ‘em out. For fans of Asamov, J-Live, and Strange Fruit Project.

I posted a new song by Murs and some French dude a while back. Hate to say it, but it was super wack. Anyway here’s a reminder of why you shouldn’t let that track kill your love for Murs and why he’s everyone’s best friend.
