Strike ft. Eminem & Dina Rae – Pale Moonlight (mp3)
You probably remember Lycety Split from Eminem’s “8 Mile” movie. Lycety, who now raps under the alias Strike, is inked to a 3D (digital distribution deal) with InGrooves. This yawn-inducing joint is taken from his upcoming album.
Lil Wayne & Juelz Santana – Black Republicans (Hov Dis?)
I could think of 9 million reasons not to post this, but it’s worth listening to. If only to remind us that this ‘couple’ can’t hold a torch to Jay-Z on his worst day.

When the snake on the ground with his nine on the line, with the n***az who grind with King Kong hittin’ Thailand, give it here…You get the point.

Ambient paranoia with a little bit of rap.
