J. Cole & XV freestyle with DJ Enuff

This is a little over a year old but I still like it.  These technically aren't freestyles but the way they changed their flows to fit the beat is cool.

Alicia Keys feat. Eve - Speechless

Produced by Swizz Beats, this is apart of his Monster Mondays series.  The beat is a remade rendition of the breakdown from Kanye West's "Devil In A Dress", the part that comes before Rick Ross' verse.  Alicia Keys sounds good on here and so does Eve finishing the song by tacking on the last verse.

Kanye West - G.O.O.D. Fridays Collection

This here isn't an official release from Kanye West himself, Shake from 2DopeBoyz was kind enough to put all of the G.O.O.D. Friday tracks in one .zip folder for those who missed a week or more.  The .zip doesn't include "Monster" or "Christmas In Harlem" but the other twelve tracks are there.

Kanye West feat. Vado, Jim Jones, Cam’ron, CyHi Da Prynce, Pusha T, Musiq Soulchild, Teyana Taylor & Big Sean - Christmas In Harlem

I figured that I could post this since Christmas was only two days ago and this blog's purpose is to showcase what I believe is (or was) good music (no pun intended).  Anyway, the song has a nice vibe and Vado, Pusha T, and Big Sean's verses are too nice to miss out on.

Nipsey Hu$$le - Tha Marathon (Mixtape)

While working with Epic Records on his release from the label Nipsey's album has had to take a backseat.  Knowing this, Nipsey put this project together to give fans new music while they wait for "South Central State of Mind" to be completed and released.  The mixtape features only Nipsey rapping and sadly there are no production credits.

Chris Webby - Best In The Burbs (Mixtape)

 

Here's Connecticut MC Chris Webby's latest mixtape which was released last week.  Notable features and production include Big K.R.I.T., Statik Selektah, and Ski Beatz.  If you've never heard Chris Webby's music before he has a rapid fire flow on a few songs but can switch it when its called for and nice punch lines.
