He dropped a verse on Def Poetry back in the day. He circulated a snippet to tease us back in 2005.
But now, the track has been released in it’s entirety. ‘Ye is officially 3 for 3 as is T.R.U. for keeping their ears to the streets (well, in this case, the internet). ;-D

Wise Intelligent - I’m Him
Taken from Wise Intelligent’s ridiculously enjoyable new album,The Talented Timothy Taylor, due out July 17. If you’re an 80’s baby like me, you probably remember Wise from the legendary Poor Righteous Teachers.
LL Cool J ft. Lil Scrappy - Whatcha Hood Like (prod. by 50 Cent)*
I like the concept of this song–paying homage to self by highlighting peers, predecessors, and imposters. You’ll like it too…if you can get past the beat.
Bonus Cut
Lupe Fiasco + Kevin Michaels - We All Want the Same Things
*I don’t know what 50’s name is doing in the production credit, so don’t shoot the messenger.
NYOIL - Shout it in the Streets (mp3)*
Here’s the latest track from NYOIL, of “Y’all Should All Get Lynched” fame.
You can almost hear the beat panting for breath in a bid to keep up with his lyrical ferocity.
(Taken from NYOIL’s Hood Treason debut, slated to hit shelves on 4/10/07)
50 Cent - Straight to the Bank
Taken from his upcoming album, Curtis, due out on 6/19/07.
This Dre beat is enormously captivating, but that “hahaha” hook gives me the creeps.

Skillz ft. Freeway - Act Like You Don’t Know
Freeway has an exceptionally annoying rap voice, the type that puts you at the risk of crashing into a wall if you accidentally woke up to one of his songs. Thankfully, Skillz is here to keep things interesting.
Aesop Rock - Nike Original Run series
Aesop Rock’s Nike + Original Run track was supposedly created with runners in mind. However, this works magic outside the gym as well.
Diddy ft. Lil Wayne - “I Am” (Remix) (wma)
Sample lyrics: “Don’t hold your applause for me, ’cause I only love I more than me.”
Enough said.
(PS: I’m sure Weezy’s fans will find a perfectly logical explanation for those rhymes.)
Bonus Bites:
David Banner ft. Nyce - K.O. (remix)
Polyrhythm Addicts ft. Phonte of Little Brother - It’s My Life
Amanda Diva - 40 Emcees
Rihanna + Jay-Z - Umbrella (mp3)
“Umbrella, ” produced by C. Tricky Stewart, is the first single from Rihanna’s third album, due out June 5th release.
You know they just had to spin those romance rumors into a collabo somewhere down the line. Hate on her all you want, Rihanna sounds a lot more mature on this.
