Lately, my mind & body has been flat-out exhausted from a million things to do and I'm not getting much sleep these days either, which is why I just can't get into any loud/uptempo/party music right now.

On that note, I think it's a good time to take a step back from all that and mellow out to some super chill beats. Here are some recent songs in my current playlist that help put me in a calm mood and will keep me at ease through these busy weeks:

The Game - I'm The King

- Alt Audio Link

Wiz Khalifa - Star Of The Show

- Alt Audio Link

Nas - Who Are You [Tags]

- Alt Audio Link

1982 - Money Is Reality featuring Action Bronson

- Alt Audio Link

Show Tufli - Jap Scene

- Alt Audio Link

These songs start off more mainstream-ish and move underground as you get to the bottom songs. I hope everyone can find a song here they can "WOO-SAH" too.

In light of the holidays, I just wanted to share with everybody some recent hip-hop Christmas songs I found. This song below has a very wholesome beat. Check it out:

Kanye West - Christmas in Harlem ft. Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Vado, CyHi Da Prynce, Pusha T, Musiq, Teyana Taylor, & Big Sean

- Alt Audio Link **Removed

1982 - Christmas in Boston ft. Kali, Reks, JFK, & Teyana Taylor [*another version for you Boston residents]

- Alt Audio Link **Removed

Here's another Christmas rap I thought I'd share in the spirit of the holidays. Brought to you by the MVP Puppets (this is old so I'm sure everybody has seen this before):


- One twoo, one twoooo...

That reminds me.. the Miami Heat vs LA Lakers game is on today! It's going to be very interesting to see all the matchups. Let's see if the Lakers can hold up the Heat on their homecourt. If I'm going to root for a team, I'm rooting for Miami.. GO HEAT!!

Hope everybody is having a Merry Christmas!

Day 38: "Still Waiting" for the 1982 album (Video)

Here's another dope song called "Still Waiting" from the duo 1982 (Statik Selektah & Terminology), which will also be on their new album dropping on October 26th. When these two guys get together, I swear they make the most chillest & illest tracks from the beats right down to the rhymes.

I really like the slow tempo & beat on this song, and Terminology comes out with some smooth raps that you can just relate to as he understands we're all going through the same thoughts. Check out the music video:

I can't wait to cop the album coming out on October 26th.

Day 11: Some Real Hip-Hop by "1982"

Here's a dose of what real Hip-Hop is right here. These two guys above, Termanology (left) and Statik Selektah (right), are very well known in the underground hip-hop scene who compose the chiiiiillest (& illest) type beats with some true sense behind their rhymes and meaning in their music as a whole.

For now, the duo will be naming themselves "1982" as they will be putting out their first full-length album together called 1982, which is scheduled to be released this October 26th.

Their first official single called "You Should Go Home" off their new album is everything I expected: an up-lifting beat with some old school vibes & good vocals (lyrically very fluid too); definitely in my favorites now =)  Check out the music video below:


1982 (Statik Selektah & Termanology) - You Should Go Home ft. Bun B & Masspike Miles
