Skillz wraps up another mad year.  ‘09 is soon to be no more, here comes 2010.

Happy New Year!!

Last year they had great success with their single “Pieces” feat Plan B, which I thought was amazing!  They’ve hooked up again with Plan B for their followup single “End Credits”.

Check them:

The first single from the highly anticipated Jay Z release Blueprint 3 has had it’s first airplay! The single is called D.O.A (Death of Autotune)

The Five One are a group like no other. Their sound is blessed with freedom, inventiveness, and true imagination. The quartet is rooted in Hip Hop but is never bound by conventional ideologies of hip hop or any other genre for that matter. They are like a cross between a pleasing Indie Pop/Rock band and the most innovative Hip Hop group you’ve ever heard.
Here are a few of tracks from their album The Five One – “5109: The Remix Album”. It’s worth checking out!

The Five One – Need You More (feat. Daft Punk)

The Five One – Time Is Cheap (feat. Clipse & Nike Nando)

This is the third single to be leaked from Em’s highly anticipated Relapse album due out later this year.

‘3 A.M’ is going back to classic dark Eminem, showcasing his excellent lyrical ability and Dr Dre’s high-grade production.

Eminem – 3 a.m.

Here is a track from the recently released Tech N9ne album Sickology 101. The track is called ‘Midwest Choppers 2′ and sees N9ne collaborating with K-Dean & Krayzie Bone.  Both  N9ne and Krayzie Bone really deliver on this track, and it will definitely please fans of break-neck rap with dark crazy beats.

Here is the new single from Eminem called ‘We Made You’.  This is the first track from his new album ‘Relapse’ due out in May this year.  Sounds alot like his D12 stuff..I expected something different, but it’s just good to hear Em on a track again.

Enjoy!
