Is anybody home...?

First off I'll apologize for my absence. It's been a long time, but I haven't been hiding. I've been under wraps, but I still know what's going on in the hip hop world. Between work and falling in love... Keeping a blog up has been non existent for me. Let's see if there is a way to juggle this with the rest of my life still.

At any rate... I know I said a while back that things were going to be a little different around here, and based on the date and the time of year... well, things are different. That's about as different as things can really get for now... at least blogging wise. It doesn't matter though, because I still have some hot stuff that needs to be addressed.

There's a couple of albums that I feel are under the radar to most, and I really need to get the word out. First off, Chiddy Bang. A few blogs shouted them out back in October, and I was up on it... I just didn't come to share with the masses. You best believe though that I've been cranking this like that Superman for real!

Second up is Mr. Ali Vegas. Most folks have probably heard of the name, but finding solo material isn't one of the easiest tasks. He dropped a mixtape not too long ago and it's a piece of work as well. There's a new mixtape out from Elzhi (Shout out to Slum Village), The Kidz In The Hall just dropped something this past week. Lupe dropped his mixtape, and it was sick as expected.

There's the Blakroc joint that's hot in it's own right... you cant knock it. Buff1's It's A 1derful Life is of course something to bump to. Man, hell... This post will just consist of a few links just to show my appreciation to the readers, and to let you know that I didn't mean to ignore you. I can't promise that I'm back, but I'm going to at least stop by and say hi. Haha. Oh well... here we go, check these out.

Naledge Constructs Musical Art With “Chicago Picasso”

Naledge, 1/2 of the hip-hop group Kidz In The Hall, is readying his mix CD masterpiece, "Chicago Picasso." Crafted on the streets of the CHI, and encompassing his storied journey over the past couple of years as Naledge helped establish the brand of Kidz In The Hall, he unveils a unique perspective to his hometown.

"I wanted to show all aspects of Chicago, not just one sound. For a long time we've seen a specific side of Chicago Rap, but this mix cd provides new perspective."

"I wouldn't call this a mixtape so much as an exhibit...hence the name Chicago Picasso. The same way Pablo Picasso created a commissioned statue that has sat downtown in Chicago for years of interpretation; I want this mixtape to float the same way."

"Chicago Picasso" contains 20 original tracks by Naledge featuring appearances by Bun B, Chip Tha Ripper, Jay Electronica, Mickey Factz, Mick Luter, Rhymefest, Carlita Durand, Curren$y, J Ivy, Russoul, Doe Boy, GLC & Fooch.

"Star Struck" featuring Rus Soul
