Thats a lot of Appetizers, but this is the hottest one yet.
I’ve always thought O could be one of the best, and on this mix he really gets it in.

Stimulus Package Packaging!
Dude, if you want to make people excited about buying a physical product, THIS is how the fuck you do it. Just pre-ordered both the vinyl and the cd from Fifth Element. I don’t even care if the music sucks (everything I’ve heard has been good so far though!), the packaging is amazing. This shit is officially available for purchase everywhere February 16th. Support artists with your money!

The Just Blaze Collection
Sean Fennesy just posted about 200 Just Blaze productions for download. It’s a fairly comprehensive collection though I’m sure he’s missing a couple joints here and there. Regardless, it’s an excellent look for your ipods.

Playboy Tre ft Homebwoi
Crossfaded Bacon friend, collaborator, and favorite Playboy Tre just had a new song posted on DJ Burn One’s amazing blog Blvd St (which you needs to be checking every day if you ain’t already!), It’s another really solid country rap song with Playboy Tre’s homeboy Homebwoi. Can’t wait for this Tre’s new mixtape to drop already! If you don’t have his previous tapes Liquor Store Mascot (Download link) or Goodbye America (Download link), you’re really missing out. And don’t forget to check the Gucci Mane remix I did with him if you missed it somehow! In the meantime, check the clip above and hit up Blvd St to download the song.

The Weirdos ft. Gillie “Super Crazy Dumb Stupid”
Some philly party ish that doesn’t sound like some regular philly part ish.
[Emynd Edit]: Just added some info above about the rappers in this song. Apparently the Weirdos is Steezy, Mont Brown, and my dog the originator of this “weirdo” shit in Philly, Daddy O (who I’m currently trying to get some work done with). And the dude Pace-O on the simple but crazy beat. I’m really into this song and it’s gaining some steam on Philly radio thanks to Cosmic Kev blasting it on the Come Up show. The thing that’s interesting about this song is that it’s kinda on some faux-Hyphy shit–which is fairly strange since Philly does NOT have a close connection with Bay area rap. I first heard Daddy O about a year ago and he reminded me of a Philly E-40, but I thought it was more a matter of coincidence. Now I’m curious about how deliberate this Hyphy link is, especially with respect to the “dumb,” “stupid,” and “retarded bus” references throughout this song. Anyway, Daddy O is without a doubt one of the most exciting rappers in Philly as far as I’m concerned. Instead of sounding like Jadakiss or Beans like most Philly rappers (often refered to as “Beanie Babies” which is the best term ever), he’s totally carved out his own unique sound. And perhaps what’s most surpising is that folks in Philly are actually ACCEPTING him on his own terms. Shit, dude raps about working at Walmart (which apparently he really does haha) and other random “weird” ish that is often pretty much a no-no in ‘hood circles. Even a conservative ‘hood traditionalist rapper like Oschino is shouting him out(9:10).
If I was betting on any one Philly rapper to make it big time, I’d put my money on Daddy O. Anyway, hopefully I’ma have some material with homie real soon. [/End Emynd Edit]

Freeway “Know What I Mean”
I’m a bit late on this but eff it! Dope song, cool video, and shout out to my homie Benja Styles making a brief guest appearance up in the video! Super excited about this album. Cop the mp3 right here on Amazon or right here on iTunes. I’m all for downloading free music, but I’m also all for supporting artists who deserve your money! Give these dudes your $$ bills!!
Don’t forget to cop The Stimulus Package when it drops or even Pre-Order it now! Freeway and Jake One! I’m pretty confident this album is going to be excellent.

Freeway and Jake One “Beat Made Me Do It” (No DJ)
Jake One murders the soul sample loops and doesn’t even bother adding drums… and it’s all better for it! Freeway just sounds so perfect on this style of soulful, stripped-down production. Man this shit is so great. Jake One hooked up the Soulstrut messageboard with a No DJ download of the mixtape and I excavated it for y’all. Hope that’s not unethical? Who cares about Don Cannon yelling on this shit, just support The Stimulus Package when it comes out!

Meek Mill “Gotta Be Startin Something”

Conglomerate
Real life rap shit. No hooks, just rapping on a fucking hot beat. Don’t let anyone try and tell you Freeway forgot how to rap. And Jakk Frost is going in, too. Dont know who the other dudes are but they do their thing too.
-e
Beans “In The Ghetto”
Anybody that tries to tell you Beans can’t rap anymore is lying. Dude is still the king. Cop the album September 1st and support excellent rap music.
And I slept on this shit when it dropped back in December. A couple really dope songs and videos by CFB favorite Freeway.

You’re Very Beautiful
Congrats to my friend Nick Palermo who was involved in the publication of an extremely dope book. It is now out and can be purchased online at http://www.youreverybeautiful.com/.
It is a collection of pictures and words illustrating life in the Philadelphia neighborhoods of Frankford, Juniata, Kensington, Port Richmond, and Fishtown.
I’m really proud of these guys for putting in the effort to chronicle their lives and our city. They didn’t just do it, they did it well.
GOOD SHIT! COP THAT!
