thehoodnerd — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 03:45:40 +0000

Here’s a new track from Aubrey and Terius that’s from his[Drake's] upcoming Thank Me Later album. ~~This shit is from the record label and it’s so heavily tagged that I started to not even post it. Trust me when I say it’s annoying.~~ I do know how people like to stay up on the latest Drake news so here’s the song. ~~If the untagged one surfaces I’ll update this but for now….~~

Editor: Here’s an edited version minus the tag. Word is this isn’t the final track so once it officially releases it will be a little different.

BET lifts the Chris Brown Ban

thehoodnerd — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:19:27 +0000

Chris Brown is only 20 years old…I think a lot of people forget that he was just a kid who made a mistake, a bad mistake yes but still just a mistake like we all do. Anyway many people noticed that he wasn’t making any appearances at music awards shows or more specifically the Michael Jackson tribute shows and I believe the networks we’re being kind of self righteous and banning him. These are the same networks that exploit us and the entertainers on a daily basis but won’t hesitate for a second to turn their backs on you. Well BET is the first network to bring Chris Brown back out and it will start with their fourth airing of the annual “Spring Bling” event on April 10th.

Breezy called up to 106 & Park and talked to Terrance and Rocsi briefly about making his first appearance on BET since the whole “situation” that took place. You can check out the short video clip below of the call. I’m sure Chris Brown fans are happy to hear about this.

So I guess Atlanta radio doesn’t always suck. Today “The People’s Station” V103 premiered Janet’s new song produced by Jermaine Dupri and Brian-Michael Cox. The song is for the soundtrack of Tyler Perry’s new movie Why Did I Get Married Too? which stars Janet. Check it out below and let me know what you think…

Young Chris and Freeway – “American Champion” (Fast Eddie Chambers)

thehoodnerd — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:39:07 +0000

Eddie Chambers or “Fast Eddie” Chambers is a Pittsburgh born Philadelphia bred Heavyweight boxer. He will be fighting Wladimir Klitschko for the WBO Heavy Weight title tomorrow which could help the sport of boxing if he wins because Americans always get excited about having a Heavyweight title holder. Being from Philly it’s only right that he’s a fan of the State Property boys and vice versa. Chris and Free layed down a track specially for Fast Eddie to have as his theme music so it will play during his walk into the ring and also serves as a motivational track deeming him Champion and all. Good luck Saturday Eddie!

Air Jordan 6 (VI) “Oreo” – Release Reminder

thehoodnerd — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:34:58 +0000

The Jordan VI “Oreo” is finally in stock….personally I like these better than the “Motorsports” 6’s that recently released. Even with the speckled mid-sole these still have a nice clean look. You can purchase these online from any of the major retailers listed below. Retail price is $150. If you are purchasing online (which is much easier) they will be available at midnight.

Fabolous (feat Plies) – Sell Dope

thehoodnerd — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 16:24:35 +0000

Nope they aren’t promoting drug selling like the title might suggest but just implying that the assumption is/can be made by looking at how they floss. This track is from DJ Haze’s “The Obituary” mixtape which is a play off of Fab’s mixtape with DJ Drama TNIC2 : Funeral Service. Plies somehow has managed to score a collaboration with just about any artist you can name in the game. I’m not sure who’s album the full track will be on (if any) but I’ll keep you updated.

Editors note: Fab has everybody saying niiiiiiiiiiiice, it’s an epidemic lol.

Jean Grae, Jay Electronica, Joell Ortiz, and Mos Def – Prowler 2 (produced by Ski Beatz) [CDQ]

thehoodnerd — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 04:28:50 +0000

Back in February i posted the radio leak of this track that had terrible quality and was tagged up like crazy. Now we finally have the track like it was meant to be heard in full quality no mixes and no voices screaming over the rappers. Ski Beatz album 24 Hour Karate school will drop 11 days from now so be on the lookout for that. As you can see from the tracks I’ve posted it’s definitely gonna be dope.
