Download: Gil Scott-Heron – “Where Did the Night Go”
I was told that I’m no longer allowed to call myself a hip-hop head if I don’t post this awesome video of GSH performing “Where Did The Night Go.” So I threw in the mp3 to be sure. Scott-Heron’s first new album in 16 years, I’m New Here, is set for an early 2010 release via XL.
Without DJ Screw there would be no Houston hip-hop. Period. Houston’s unofficial nickname is Screwston for a good reason. It all started with Robert Earl Davis Jr. and his desire to slow the world down. He propelled a simple art form to unfathomable heights. Screw left us 9 years ago today, but not without leaving an indelible mark on the game. Peep a sample of Screw’s game-changing sound below. Lean is optional.

Download – Obie Trice – Got Hungry
Obie Trice is back and he’s wasting no time in reestablishing his presence. “Got Hungry” is a repeat-ready jam from Special Reserve, Obie’s collaborative album with producer MoSS. It’s his first LP since leaving Shady Records. Special Reserve will be released on December 15.
Download – Beanie Sigel (Feat. 50 Cent) – I Go Off
Well, well, well, that was fast. “I Go Off” sounds like a track Beanie Sigel already had in the stash with a tacked-on 50 Cent hook. It’s probably the worst hook he’s ever done. Interestingly enough, Curtis is the one who digs at Jigga at the end. This can’t possibly end well for Beans. He has more to lose.

Download – Clipse – Door Man [mp3]
Behold some new heater from Clipse’s Till The Casket Drops. “Door Man” sounds like this year’s “Dirty Money,” complete with that unmistakable Neptunes bling.
Download – Joell Ortiz – Happy Birthday, Pun
Holy Mackerel! How the hell did I forget about Big Pun’s birthday (November 9)? I no longer deserve to own any of his albums. Guess who didn’t forget Pun’s birthday? Joell Ortiz aka Pun Lite. J.O. recorded a birthday tribute to Pun, and it’s absolutely disgusting. Take a listen.
Download – Trinity – Roc Raida Tribute
Move over, Slaughterhouse, there’s a new hip-hop super group on the horizon. The new triumvirate consists of AG, Sadat X, and DJ Jab, and they kicked things off right by paying homage to late X-ecutioner DJ Roc Raida. Roc Raida died on September 19, 2009 due to complications from a mixed-martial-arts accident.
Pop the lid for a video of Trinity members reminiscing about Roc Raida.
