Baltimore natives Get Em Mamis are preparing to release their first album titled “TerAwesome” ( a superlative the group made up which means “somewhere between terrific and awesome”) late Summer 2009 according to RCRD LBL. I´m not even gonna try to pronounce that.

Oi, I just spend a week in London and got familiar with the lovely British accent. So, it´s nice to blog about the London grime rapper Lady Sovereign, who is back with a new track and she is giving it away for free. The track I Got You Dancing is less grime, more melodic and utilises even some auto-tune. Download I Got You Dancing by Lady Sovereign here >>

New Nas track Something Foul is available as a download via Kanye´s blog. Kanye West just posted on his blog earlier this week that he doesn´t listen to rap in his apartment, because his apartment is too nice to listen to rap in. He has to be in a more grimey environment to turn any rap music on. Maybe Nas with his political agenda is an exception and his music is suitable for nice apartments.

Click on over to the Kanye West Blog and download Nas “Something Foul”.

This is too good! Baltimore rap duo Get Em Mamis rhyming over Madonna´s Music and Who´s That Girl. Get Em Mamis are making a new mixtape called the Material Girls. The duo gave The Rolling Stone an advance listen to the first two tracks, Music and Who’s That Girl. The tracks are just wonderful, listen to them right here.

Best, Best is the new Missy Elliott single. It´s the lead track from her upcoming Bloc Party album. Missy Elliott´s Best, Best is absolutely amazing – I got the same chills when I heard Gimme More for the first time.

Best, Best is more commercial Missy Elliott than before, (I can even hear traces of Abba and Blackout), but it´s genuine Missy Elliott because Best, Best sounds ultra fresh. She is a true tastemaker and with Nate “Danjahandz” Hill there´s something new or unusual, like Missy singing a lot and classic melody. Best, Best is going to be huge!

The first single of the upcoming Nas album is called Hero . The easily approachable song features Keri Hilson , the 25-year old amazing multi-talent who writes music for Britney Spears, Usher and alike, and who performed "The Way I Are" with Timbaland .

Hero, Nas feat. Keri Hilson is produced by Polow Da Don . The production of Hero is very radio friendly, the track is clearly a hit – and it´s hard to attach the song to the controversial cover of the upcoming, untitled Nas album. Except for the strong lyrics, of course.

Nas rarely compromises. Be a Nigger Too music video tells you that. His politics is delivered with great melodies, powerful images and lyrics. And it works very well. There are various ways how the title of the song is written: it´s either Be A N*gger Too, Be A Nigger Too or Be A Nigga Too.

The East London MC Dizzee Rascal has released his Maths+English album in the US. This great track Dance Wiv Me will be released as a single next month and it features UK electro artist Calvin Harris. The track is gaining a lot of airplay in the UK at the moment, and no wonder, it´s very very good.
