Wale's such a nice guy. He dropped off this joint via Twitter . I like that, just cutting out all middlemen. While nobody comes weak on this one, Thought & Peedi body this track as each artist plays a verbal game of "Hot Potato." Newcomer/who the fuck is that © Dolla R.I.P. Tu Phace easily holds his own & actually impresses. Lastly, Young Chris' verse furthers my belief that Jay jocked him before we were jockin' Jay-Z. Audio - Wale Feat. Peedi Crakk, Black [...]
wale-hot-shyt-ft-peedi-crakk-b lack-thought-2face-young-chris Wale is making it rain music on Twitter today. No Back to the Feature mixtape yet, but Wale throws us a couple bones with one track off of it and one unreleased and supposedly unfinished track. People have been saying that there are going to be tons of features on Back to the Feature and [...]
Just glanced at my Twitter and saw that Wale decided to leak a couple tracks. I don't think either of these are going to be official releases, but they are both solid, high energy tracks nonetheless. Black Thought and Wale together? Why didn't I think of that? I think a flow that sounds good over a live band says a lot about an emcee. (No shots, Meth)* If you've ever caught Wale live, or seen footage of him backed by a band, you know there's not many who can do it like him with that DC [...]
I'm jamming Welcome 2 Detroit right now in anticipation of Dilla's next posthumous release, Jay Stay Paid, which looks like it turning out to be the release that the hardcore fans have been waiting for. The cover art is enticing on its own, but looking at the tracklist for Jay Stay Paid, which features guest appearances from DOOM, Black Thought, Lil Fame, and Illa J, I get even more excited. The track with Black Thought leaked a while back on Nah Right, but "24K Rap" with Havoc and Raekwon sold me on this one. The gritty beat on this track [...]
Words By K1NG It's unfortunate that Dilla died when he did. He's had more press from the Hip-Hop community than he ever did when he was alive and now he's not here to see the love. We all know the story and the heartbreaking reality that surrounds his estate, but even with all the turmoil Ma Dukes has found a way to executive produce his final album Jay Stays Paid with the help of a few of Hip-Hop's most intriguing acts. [...]

The album is executive produced by his mother, arranged by Pete Rock and also features guest artists as well as straight Dilla beats.

I figured I would start off my posts today with a track that is worth hearing on 4/20. This track comes to us from the fine people over at Okayplayer . As I mentioned in a post a while back, Ma Dukes and Pete Rock are going to be putting out an album via Nature sounds on June 2nd entitled Jay Stay Paid . This is the first track that we have the pleasure of hearing, and it features Black Thought, one of the best emcees in the game. As usual you can expect [...]
First up its a track i was supposed to post a while ago which i never got round to by KiD CuDi . Called 'Higher Up' it's a freestyle over the Snoop and Dr. Dre instrumental. It's a very chilled out track where Cudi talks a bit about his past and he mentions getting high somewhere in there as usual... • KiD CuDi - Higher Up listen via Mediafire Next its a track off Nature Sounds' upcoming 'Jay Stay Paid', a collection of 25 mostly unheard J [...]
OKP , who premiered this, wrote, "Tired of hearing wack rappers rhyming over J Dilla beats?" Yes, yes I am. On June 2, Nature Sounds will be releasing Jay Stay Paid . J$P is a 25 track collection of unreleased (some have leaked) Dilla beats mixed and arranged by Pete Rock . The project is mostly instrumental, but includes vocals from Black Thought, DOOM, Raekwon, Illa J, Blu, Havoc, M.O.P. and more. Oh boy. Here's the first leak official leak, "Reality Check ft. Black Thought." [...]
This doesn't necessitate commentary. But the track's from the mysterious Pay Jay disc... [More after the jump...]
I'm by no means a Dilla disciple, but I definitely won't turn away anything he's involved with. With the vocal assist by Black Thought (somewhere GZA is smiling... or working on a Soulja Boy diss), this will be on the upcoming Jay Stay Paid project. It'll consist of unreleased beats from all points of Dilla's career and mixed by Pete Rock. Outside of Black Thought look for appearances by M.O.P, Doom, Blu and others. It's slated to be released June 2nd on Nature Sounds . [...]
Here's the first track off Jay Stay Paid , a collection of 25 mostly unreleased J Dilla beats mixed by Pete Rock. Out June 2nd. This one features Black Thought of The Roots/Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Saw it at Sound Verite . J Dilla ft. Black Thought - Reality Check PigeonsandPlanes
