Wale’s “Attention Deficit” Album Artwork

It looks like Wale’s Attention Deficit artwork has finally been released. Personally, I think that the album artwork is cool, but I was not expecting it to be like this. Then again, when does Wale ever do anything we expect?

October 20th folks, go support one of the DMV’s finest, Wale.

Check out the full cover after the break and leave some thoughts.

Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Album Artwork & Track List

Do you recall the speculated Blueprint 3 track list floating around on the internet? Well, it was not correct. However, I have the official track list below. Though the track list is is full of guest features, I am quite excited to see J. Cole and Kid Cudi make the cut, and of course, Kanye West. Will this be the best Blueprint? We shall see.

Check out the album artwork and the official track list after the break.

Kid Cudi’s Scene Listing and Album Artwork

The other day, Kid Cudi released his album artwork for his upcoming album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day. Today, however, he has released his much anticipated track scene listing for the album. Though I was looking forward to the Snoop joint and the Clipse joint, Cudi has assured is that we will see a release of them in due time.

Not sure about you, but this is going to be epic, especially Act 4. Thoughts?

Well, here the is the official album cover to Kid Cudi’s debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day. Though I was unsure of what to expect for the album cover, I am quite pleased with it.

Oh and if you’re interested, you can check out the DVD Deluxe Edition cover after the break. Word is that Cudi will feature 45 extra minutes of footage.

Blueprint 3 Album Art & Track List

Here is the first mentioning of Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 album art and track list, but as Jay mentioned in his interview with DJ Semtex, his album track lists are not set in stone until they take it out of his hands, so do not take this as a set in stone line up and wait for September 11th.

Personally, I love the album artwork, but the track list is even more vicious. The guest appearances and production are looking quite dope, so I hope to expect at least this from the album. Be sure to check out the entire track list after the break.

New Music Cartel x DJ Clue – R&Yeezy

S1xt6en & Townez – Are We There Yet Mixtape

Here is something quite refreshing to the ears. With production from The Best Kept Secret and Diamondback Entertainment, S1xt6en and friend, Townez, has just released a brand new mixtape entitled, Are We There Yet (No Gimmicks). S1xt6en, a young aspiring hip hop artist coming from Virgina, teams with Tapemasters Inc. to put out, in my opinion, one of the illest mixtapes in a long while. Recorded and mixed entirely by Bob Ebeling, long time engineer of Kid Rock and Eminem, the two rising hip hop artists capture the sound, quality, content, and essence of real hip hop.

Though some tracks are iller than others from this tape, I cannot pick out a personal favorite as of yet because so many tracks are laced with phenomenal production and quality lyrics. Download the tape below and let me know your thoughts, but as of now, this is a personal favorite mixtape that has come out.

Oh and just so you know, an exclusive interview will be coming this week so that we all get to know S1xt6en that much better.

Check out the rest of the mixtape artwork, full track list, and a personal review after the break.

The Beastie Boys x Nas – Too Many Rappers

It seems as if the legendary hip hop trio, The Beastie Boys, recently teamed up with Nas for this new track entitled, Too Many Rappers. Though this version is not entirely mastered, it serves as a first draft of their single off their highly anticipated 8th studio LP, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1, which is slated for release September 15, 2009.

Straight No Chaser Album Cover

Mr. Hudson’s Straight No Chaser album, produced by Kanye West, is set to drop this upcoming October 5th via G.O.O.D. Music and Mercury Records, and I must admit that I am very excited.

“I wanted to make a mainstream record, not structured or ornate,” he explains. “The first album feels like an Escher drawing, all these layers and you don’t know where you’re going at any point. The way the songs are written and produced on this one is much more direct. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel. It’s straight, no chaser.”
