There’s a few songs I’ve had on repeat for the past few days, and I feel it’s my duty to share them with you, especially since so many people out there have lost faith in new hip hop.  Don’t worry.  There’s still dope songs that come out.  Here’s five relatively new ones that I like…off his upcoming album Before I Self Destruct…

50 Cent “Crime Wave”….Whoa, this beat is hard body!  Here’s the video, which is funny and violent but definitely not as good as the song…

Drake “Fear”….I’m not the biggest Drake fan, but I love this song.  The production is awesome, and the hook has a dope melody.  “Look me in the eyes, don’t believe the lies, please don’t be scared of me”….he’s got some great lyrics in his verses too, though I wish he wouldn’t flow exactly the same on all his tracks.  Still, good song.  I feel him on this one…by the way, this is a bonus track on his official So Far Gone mixtape release…

Freeway “When I Rap”….Yo, when Freeway first came out, he was a monster!  I still remember the first time I heard him on a DJ Clue tape rapping live on Hot 97 with Beanie Sigel.  I’ve always liked his style, though lately I haven’t heard much I like from him.  However, he gets busy on this new song called “When I Rap” which is off a new project he has dedicated to Eminem called Freelapse.  Check this out, he goes in on some quick shit…

Sean Price “Figure Four”….This guy is another beast on the mic.  I love Heltah Skeltah’s first album, but I don’t jock his new stuff like the majority of the underground rap blog world does.  Nevertheless, this little freestyle song he did in preparation for his Kimbo Price mixtape is ill.  It’s over the same beat that Jay Electronica went in on recently (which I posted).  I’ll get to him next…

Jay Electronica featuring Mr. Porter “Hard To Get”….This song isn’t brand new, but it’s new to me and I can’t get enough of it.  It’s real smooth.  He’s got a weird video for it.  Looking forward to hearing some new stuff from this guy…

A brand new Jay Electronica song “Exhibit C” just surfaced and it has the rap world in a frenzy.  Just Blaze, who produced it, premiered it on his radio show.  Check it out on NAHRIGHT…
