(not in order)
Kiko Kaniver - True Face: This track shows the true personality of Kiko and since he’s like a brother, its also my kind of track. True emotion, hence…the True face.
Y-Ace n R-Kyve(me)- Watch Your Mouth- Who woulda thought a red sox n a yankee can murder a track in 3 verses?? By some people, best verse I spit so far. I play this almost daily
Kiko Kaniver ft. R-Kyve (me) Death by 2moro- kiko and i. playing wit death. This shows how I truly think. Favorite track of the best beat in the world, love me by eminem
OK. NOW the music out there.
Lupe fiasco - Dumb it down – A lyricist can make a hot track on a hot beat n NOT dumb it down 4 u crank that assholes out there. Real music here. Aint dumbin down nothing
Joell Ortiz - brooklyn Bullshit – This is soo Brooklyn! Every nigga in my home knows this shit. We all got 2 baby momma 2 buildings away from each other lol. Dis bullshit im on.
Vybz Kartel – Brooklyn – Straight Up Brooklyn Dancehall. Brooklyn anthem for all my Caribbean people. So sic u put da benz in reverse.
Kanye West - Flashing Lights – This track is so classic……..its scary. Beat is timeless. And this beat had me thinking. Again…….scary.
Common – Forever Begins –7 minutes….epic hip hop track with epic lyric. Finding forever is possible.
Trey Songz - Missin You – this track was one of those songs u jus gotta dedicate to a wifey type of chick , ya no? real love on this track by an artist that should b recognized. ]
J. Holiday – suffocate – same shit as what I said bout missin u. this song explains attraction to da detail. Real good song that made me like R&B again
Evanescence- Lithium – real dark, gothic song that should be remember for a long time. Amy Lee’s voice is something you cant get rid of. And the melody is so demonic, its scary. Best rock song in a while.
Animal Alpha- Most Wanted Cowboy – this rock song is unheard of . no one knows of Animal Alpha, but imagine a screaming metallic but melodic Amy Lee over Three Days Grace/Trapt guitars. I suggest you download this band especially this 6 minute masterpiece.
Kanye West ft T-Pain - Good Life – who doesn’t like this song??? It feels like Miami, feels like LA feels like N.Y. summertime shine….come on. I feel good by listening. And how many times I heard it both on hot 97 power 99 and Stangs Underground lol
Chris Brown ft T-Pain - Kiss Kiss – Chris got that swagger. And now the world loves it. Real good shit to drive to. Wit da nappy boi, and da pretty boi, hey!.......ok, lemme stop.
D12- ft king Gordy - Dont Hate – This song is meaningful in so many ways. D12 is back still doing it (R.I.P. to Proof). Smartest hook you can come up wit. This is basically the shit for all of the haters hatin. Jus tell em,……”Don’t Hate (u see me on my block getting rich, wen u see me drivin off wit ur bitch! ….again. Don’t hate.
Lil Wayne ft Wyclef - Operate On me – Classic Hip hop on a Haitian Melodic background. Something I can listen to when im 40. now theres a song I wanna play on guitar. Another good love story.
Wyclef Jean ft Akon, Niia and Lil Wayne - Sweetest girl - this aint just one of the best songs of 2007, this is one of the best songs I ever heard in my life. Never heard something so meaningful and hits close to home. Really listen to the lyrics to see wat im talking about. This shows why wyclef is my idol.
T.I. ft Wyclef – You Know What it is – T.I. Wyclef. Shit…… wit a shout out to my Haitians, you b murdered today.
You know What it is.
Skyzoo - Get it done – Real Underground Brooklyn music. Legendary Dj over slick lyrics here. Hip Hop is back. Esp. in Brooklyn.
Akon ft Kardinal Offishall – Rush – an uplifting song for me. Jus says….gotta keep on movin. Another song that speaks to me in some way.
UGK ft Outkast Playaz anthem – (R.I.P Pimp C) this deserves a grammy. Shows u how to be a pimp, ya no. Play your Part…
Wyclef Jean ft T.I. - slow down – You wanna hear Haitian music in its finest? You wanna hear music that has a message and is really relaxing? Download this. Classic song for me.
Justin Timberlake n Beyonce - until the end of time – this song……..mmm mmm. Not even a thongwetter. Baby Makin Music.
Fabolous ft. Ne-Yo – make me better – sick beat. Everyone knows that. Another sexy track, ya no?
T-Pain ft Akon – Bartender – never heard a beat more relaxing as this. One of the best. Plus the sound of Pain n Akon is sickenin. One of my favorites..all time.
Cassidy - drink n 2 step – I dance. I Drink. Im supposed to quit but I cant. So I need a track that says just that.
And that’s my list. Happy New Year.
