New Jay Electronica, Apathy, Skyzoo, J. Cole, Vstylez…

Sorry, no Jeezy, Drake, Wayne or Jay-Z in this music post. I figure all of those guys get enough exposure as it is, so I decided to post some music from a few artist who don’t have the spotlight shinin’ on them. Enjoy…

Jay Electronica – Exhibit C (Snippet)
This snippet goes harder than most rappers’ entire album. Definitely one of the most underrated rappers in the game. If you don’t agree after hearing this, please go find the closet expressway and proceed to play Frogger. Btw that sample Just Blaze used is from one of my favorite old school artist, Billy Stewart, who just happens to be the artist for the upcoming Marker’s Mark post.

Apathy – Guys And Girls Ft. Blue Raspberry
This off of Apathy’s new album Wanna Snuggle?, which was pretty good btw. He goes in on some of the paranoid traits that both men and women display while in relationships that are void of trust. Apathy’s been out for a long time and I’m just not discovering him this year…better late than never though.

Skyzoo – Dear Whoever
Ever since I heard Skyzoo’s 9th Wonder produced mixtape, Cloud 9: The 3 Day High, I’ve been checkin’ for him. This song is off of his new album, The Salvation.

J. Cole – Simba
Chances are you recognize the name J. Cole from his feature on the song “A Star Is Born” off of the Blueprint 3. Then again he’s been buzzin’ all over the internet for quite some time, but I never took the time out to listen him. Then D Grizzle put me on to this song off of J. Cole’s mixtape, The Come Up and I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not holding my breath for a debut album considering the fact that he’s signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.

Vstylez – Clash of the Titans Ft. Royce 5’9″, Rapper Big Pooh, Elzhi and Phat Kat
Never heard of Vstylez but I fux with just about everybody on this track so I decided to check it out…I wasn’t disappointed.

New Apathy, Birdman, Estelle, Drake, Shawty Lo…

Apathy – True Love Ft. Phonte
I’ve never heard of Apathy before this, but I’ll give anything a listen if it involves anybody from the Little Brother/Foreign Exchange/J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League crew. This features Phonte so it was a must listen for me. I’m glad I checked this out because the shit is pretty dope. Apathy’s upcoming album is titled Wanna Snuggle?, that’s hilarious….to me.

Birdman aka Baby – Money To Blow Ft. Drake & Lil’ Wayne
Ummm this song is old. The original version came out over a year ago…before everybody set up permanent residency on Drizzy’s balls. Anywho, the original was made by some guy named Jerz Y.A. and it featured Drake ——> Jerz Y.A. – Money To Blow Ft. Drake

Estelle – All Nite Long Ft. John Legend & Ludacris
I don’t know what to say about this song….okay, yes I do. This song sucks. Estelle is sing-rapping, John Legend sings the tired ass chorus and Ludacris’ verse just seems out of place and unnecessary. Btw I hate when people spell ‘night’ this way —> nite.

Drake – Killer Ft. Nipsey Hussle
I fux wit this. I’ve never listened to anything with Nipsey Hussle on it before this….I just couldn’t get pass the name.

Shawty Lo – A Town Ft. Ludacris, Gucci Mane & The-Dream
This is obviously supposed to be an Atlanta rap anthem….I think they could’ve went harder.
