Petelshot : The Experience

Check out Petelshot : I endorse this band
The PETELSHOT sound is a myriad of styles, with influences varying from gritty street corner rhymes, to rocked out grooves mixed with the pure emotional strings of classical violin. Even with such broad influences, PS still manages to seamlessly blend together all these elements to create an epic sound.

My All Time Favorite Hip-Hop Albums

I was thinking about my all time favorite hip hop albums that came out in my day, the ones I can thrown on and listen to from begining to end with out need to skip tracks. This is the list I came up with. Some may agree, some may not, what would your top albums be? These also are in no particular order. I prolly left one or two out.

Lily Allen : MINT BITCHES THIS GIRL IS MINT!!!!

I'm bloody mad for this sweet n sassy brit! Her album is brilliant!
If I was 21, a brit and could sing I would be her. I'm so fucking in love.

"No you can't have my number because I lost my phone!"
"You're saving 50p but what do you want with tampons?"

ugh, can't get enough!!! Listen to the 2nd mixtape on her music player on the website.


If you haven't heard of her listen NOW!

Hi-Tek

Hi-Tek : High Teknology

You may or may not be familiar with who Hi-Tek is so allow me to fill you in. He is from the Natti aka Cincinnati, Ohio he is a producer extraordinaire and you are probably most familiar with his work on Reflection Eternal with Talib and Black Star with Mos Def and Talib. ( If you are not familiar please, stop reading my blog). This most recent musical feat from Hi-Tek is refreshing and well I've been jamming to it for a few weeks. My favorite tracks which I recommend tuning into are:
-Music for Life feat. J.Dilla, Nas, Common, Busta Rhymes & Marsha Ambrosius
-Let it Go feat. Dion & Talib Kweli
-Baby We Can Do It feat. Czarnok
-So Tired feat. Dion, Bun B, Devin the Dude & Pretty Ugly
There are other semi-quality tracks but these four happen to be my favorites. Here is a link to his myspace page so you can get a taste for yourself. Just as a disclaimer the song on his page are the wak ones from the album. They should have sought my approval before making those selections. http://www.myspace.com/hitek
