If you remember last weeks post I had a vid by Logic, a rapper from Maryland (if memory serves), when I was searching around my computer for suitable hip hop tracks I realized I only had one track off Young Sinatra. Young Sinatra is not only Logic's handle but the name of his first mixtape, which premiered back early september. You've heard me whine about it before but my internet connection really held me back on this one, Young Sinatra is much more than just a mixtape, its a full length album, rockin twenty two tracks, with artful skits and interludes.
So after I muscled my way across the internet and dropped this on my ipod I had it on repeat damn near all week, the first time I listened to it I was amazed by not only the antique samples and masterful beats, but Logic's flow and the heart he obviously poured into this release. Every track on this album is sheer poetry, boasting everything from heartfelt stories of pain and the past to uplifting tracks that had everyone in the room laughing and jammin. Logic, I apologize for not taking this album seriously sooner, it is a mistake I will not make again.

I thought I would try a new angle this week and post tracks from more "mainstream" artists (today at least), so for your auditory pleasure we have tracks from Bruno Mars, B.O.B. and Common.
Our first track is a brand new release from Bruno Mars, It Will Rain, which unfortunately was written for the new Twilight movie comin out in November, solid song, horrible franchise. So here's your chance to love it before it hits the radio and the big screen.
Next is a new gem said to be the first single from Bobby Ray's upcoming sophomore album, featuring Lil' Wayne. This track has it all, from a sick flow to some damn heavy beats and even a wobble or two, turn it up.
For the finale we have an amazing song from rapper with a conscience, Common. I think its safe to say that Blue Sky contains just a "little" sample from Electric Light Orchestra's song by the same name, this is the second single released for his new album "The Dreamer, The Believer", and like the rest has been produced by No I.D., impressive if I do say myself.
So hit those links above for some amazing hip hop, unless you don't like mainstream rap then please exit the site immediately, oh and be sure to tell me all about it on our Facebook page. Cheers.
