Rick Ross is back on this Part 2 along with another diss. This time its not 50 Cent but Nicki Minaj. I’m not commenting on her gender, cause Nicki can hold her own ground, but damn. I think this is the perfect opportunity for Nicki to go in on a male rapper and show her skills. Rick Ross also has gotten better lyrically. The Teflon Don is the name of his next album coming soon…

Some of rap’s greats came out last night in NYC to support Phife from A Tribe Called Quest’s battle with diabetes. Jeru, Dres, KRS-One, Busy Bee, Greg Nice, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def. But Jay Electronica tore the roof off when he brought out Talib and Mos at NYC’s BB Knitting Factory…chill

This is what real hip hop looks like.

I like the creative title. Ludacris is dropping this free mixtape to celebrate the launch of his new drank called Conjure. Drink up!

Step into the new world that is Jay Electronica. He is definitely one of the most unusual and interesting artists that you’ve never heard of…intentionally. Jay Electronica keeps his fans on their toes and chooses completely different ways of creating and distributing his music. Sometimes leaking songs in the most unusual little places on the Internet. He also raps like the next Nas or Mos Def but with his own twist and contribution to the art form. So its not surprising that this new Jay Electronica video is like a breath of fresh air with its creativity and cinematography. I can’t wait to see the full Exhibit A video…

Bonus: This is Jay Electronica’s Exhibit C underground hit single that leaked last month. 2010 will be a big year for him.

Lupe Fiasco, Kenna, and Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park did a great job on this song. I love it. Its a very inspirational and optimistic track. I had to play it back a couple of times. We will rise up…

Music for Relief has put together a compilation of UNRELEASED music, including this Lupe song, to help support Haiti. Listen to and download it here.

Bonus: Check out Lupe Fiasco, Jessica Biel, and the rest of the team as they finished climbing one of the tallest mountains in the world: Mt. Kilimanjaro located in Tanzania to raise awareness for the Global Clean Water Crisis. The entire Summit on the Summit documentary will air on MTV in March.

New Trae and Maino…this track is hot! I’m diggin the whole black and white video vibe. Not to mention the DJ Khaled cameo. The North and South have united to make some great music…think I’ll watch it one more time.

Damn 50 Cent is still going at it? Didn’t his album already come out? Where’s Beanie at? I need some new music from you Mayne…

I remember the first time I ever laid eyes on Aaliyah. She was everything I wanted to be. Her voice inspired me to pursure a career in music and I spent hours locked in the bathroom singing Back and Forth into a hair brush.

Today on what would be her 31st birthday, I would to take a moment and share this with you. Her beauty and talent have been and always will be greatly missed. You truely were One in a Million Aaliyah! Happy Birthday from DaLeak.com
