Throwback Thursday - Jin "Learn Chinese"


I know I wasn't the only one tuning in to Freestyle Friday to see how Jin would fricassee some dude thinking just cause he was Chinese he couldn't rap. For two months he took down everyone who stepped up, it was fantastic. Sadly, his career didn't take off the way it should have, but he did find success in Hong Kong. Here is an NPR article about his rise, fall, and rise. And check out his Freestyle Friday battles after the jump.

New Music - Blitz the Ambassador "African In New York"


Being African in New York truly seems like it's own unique experience, and Blitz the Ambassador is trying to get that point across. The Coming To America clip in the beginning is perfect cause so many people have that African prince in America mindset. But the Ghanaian rapper paints the real picture of hard work and sacrifice.

New Music - Phoenix ft. R. Kelly "Trying To Be Cool Remix"

I am surprised how well this works. R. Kelly didn't overpower it like you would expect, he blends right in. Maybe they should do a new song together, don't know about a whole album just yet.
