Young RJ – ‘People’ feat. Posdnuos, Baatin, & ViceVerse


New joint from producer Young RJ’s Seventh Son Mixtape. Young RJ has done work with some of Detroit’s finest like Slum Village and Black Milk. He is very talented and this joint is tough.

T3 – ‘Motor Freaks’ feat. Illa J


T3’s solo project 3illa comes out June 21st. No word yet if he will be addressing any of the drama with his former group member Elzhi. This song is hot tho.

Studio Session Leak: Nonku Phiri – ‘We All Try’ (Frank Ocean Cover)


This is definitely unmastered, but I liked it so much I figured i’d post it. South African artist Nonku Phiri rocks over Slum Village’s classic ‘Climax’ instrumental & delivers a cover version of Frank Ocean’s stand out ‘We All Try’ from his dope ass album ‘Nostalgia, Ultra’. I like what Nonku Phiri did with this & hopefully she’ll come back with a mastered version but I can rock with this for now.

Elzhi’s Highly Anticipated Project ‘Elmatic’ To Be Released May 10th


Out of the thousands of mixtapes & albums due to be released, this is one project that I’ve been waiting & looking forward to for quite some time now. To me Elzhi, formerly of Slum Village, is Detroit’s version of Nas. He is grossly underrated & when he first announced that he was doing a mixtape project inspired by Nas’s classic ‘illmatic’ album I knew he was best suited to represent well. Until May 10th arrives I’ll leave y’all with a few Elzhi joints that I still bang out on the ipod to hold y’all over…..

Phonte Lets Loose More Unreleased Tracks For The Fans

Phonte let go a few more songs for fans that were sitting around collecting digital dust. Here’s a few that I enjoyed plus the comedic ‘We Are The World’ styled “Rza Is The World’ song where he’s impersonating Rza from the Wu-Tang Clan raising money for Haiti.

The Beatz & Lyrics Show – Best Of 2010 Show Winners

So we had a little technical difficulty getting the show started last Saturday on time due to the Atlanta roads & weather condition, but we still managed to finish the show completely on air all the way up until 3:30am.  Murphy’s Law is always in effect, but mission accomplished.  Just a little later than normal.  Check the full list of  award winners for ‘The Beatz & Lyrics Show – BEST OF 2010 Awards’.  The Podcast Of The Radio Show is up now!
