New Music: Slum Village (feat. Marsha Ambrosius) - Cloud 9

On the real tho, it feels good hearing the 3 at it again. After all the bullsh*t, and Dilla's passing, i'm glad they decided to reunite. I was listening to a few Jay Dee interviews yesterday and he spoke on how the SV reunion album is gonna be crazy and how its the 4 of them now, ready to smash the industry. It's a shame that didn't get to see light... but SV is here to carry the torch!! Baatin, Elzhi & T3!!! can't wait for their new project..

New Sh*t: TONA (feat. Skyzoo)- "U Know It"

So yeah, it seems EVERY other blog has got this joint posted before me...lol. This track was actually JUST finished last week and we straight hustled to get this sh*t out before Friday. Trust me, the last few weeks before a project drops is always hell. If its not this, its that... its like f*ckin ping pong with this sh*t. But it's all good because that's a part of the grind! Right now we're in the stages of tying up the loose ends and then it's wrap!! I'm real proud of this cuz i feel we both showed our versatility on the project. I ain't even gonna talk anymore, believe it when you hear it...straight!!
This sh*t right here?????!?!?!???! Is the buzz leak. The first official single "Major" will done in a few weeks along with a video. I'm loving the great response.. 'preciate the love my ppl!!
