Drake – “Fear” (Prod. by DJ Khalil)

Yesterday, I put up the 30 second snippet version to Drake’s latest joint, Fear, produced by DJ Khalil, and today, I am giving you all the full, CDQ version of the song. Off of his So Far Gone EP that will hit stores on the 15th, this track will lead us into his upcoming, debut album, Thank Me Later. Personally, I have hear Drake rap harder and better, but this track is worth the download and listen. Link below, so enjoy.

Jay-Z – “Ghetto Techno”

Another Jay-Z leak? Yes, but this time it is not from his upcoming Blueprint 3 album that is set to drop on September 11th. Off Shoot 5 Ent.’s The Layout mixtape, Ghetto Techno is a must download, but I will admit that I am more than glad that it is not on BP3. Nonetheless, it is Hov, so get the link below.

Charles Hamilton x Show Tufli – “Body Roc”

Off of the upcoming mixtape properly entitled, Where’s Charles, Hamilton and Show Tufli add their creative rhyming skills for a new joint, Body Roc. Body Roc showcases great production and great verses, along with a creative chorus.

B.o.B. – “Should Have Been the First Album” (Mixtape)

Below is a mixtape compilation of some of B.o.B.’s best joints on the net to date. This tape compiles 15 free of DJ tag joints and is a must download. Check it out below.

B.o.B. – “Should Have Been the First Album” (Mixtape)

Shake threw together this mix of No DJ Bobby Ray joints as sort of middle finger to the suits at Atlantic. Word on these e-streets is that they’re trying to force the homie B.o.B. into a 360 deal against his will. While I’m not categorically against 360, or multiple rights deals, I feel like they should be presented as an option to an emerging artist, not as theonly option. And they certainly shouldn’t be used as a blackmail tool. I doubt they’d try to pull that shit with a TI or a Jay-Z. Sure, B.o.B. still has some showing and proving to do, but is a fair deal too much to ask? Just put out that man’s album and let the chips fall where they may.

Video: Drake To Re-Release “So Far Gone” To Retail

Well, it seems as if Young Money’s own, Drake, is going to re-release his So Far Gone mixtape, but this time, it is going to retail. Yes, he is going to re-release his free mixtape to the public for profit. From the sounds of the interview below, Drake is releasing the mixtape with its strongest songs and a never before heard track, Fear, that will transition into his album. Love him or hate him, he has a buzz that is incomparable.

While on the Toronto set for his forthcoming “Successful” video, he revealed to MTV News exclusively that he’ll be re-releasingSo Far Gone to retail outlets on September 15.

According to Drake, the revamped project will feature most of the familiar tracks that have powered his rise, from the Trey Songz and Lil Wayne-backed “Successful” to his hit “Best I Ever Had.”

But there will be a new record, “Fear,” added to the track list. The never-before-heard song will be tacked on to the end of So Far Gone and will serve as the transition from his mixtape toThank Me Later.

According to Drake, the last line of “Fear” will be the first line heard on his debut.

“I did this song that no one has ever heard before, ever,” he explained. “[It's] a song called ‘Fear.’ I recorded it when I did So Far Gone — the first verse and half of the second verse I had gotten through. But then I just stopped because it was getting eerie. It was getting where I didn’t know if I could [finish it]. And then the other night I had a moment and I finished the song. That’s gonna be the last song on the retail [version of] So Far Gone. And the third verse transitions into Thank Me Later. So the last line of the third verse is gonna be the first line on my album.”
