July 26, 2009 Playlist: "I Run This Town"

What's happenin everyone? Today I got off of work and was driving and noticed the Power 92.3 SUV parked in the Taco Bell parking lot. I pulled up and next thing you know I was kickin it with the Hotboyz Tone and Shag and the Power 92.3 crew. Big ups to my dudes who keep the airwaves hot and deliver to the city of wind. I've been getting lazy, but since I told the Hotboyz to check out my blog, I figured it should be updated. I got a track off of the Blueprint III featuring Rihanna and Kanye West. I heard it on the radio today and I got a feeling I'm gonna be hearing it a lot more. Gucci Mane and OJ are steady doing thier thing, and are looking to perform in Chicago pretty soon. Their latest collabo with Rock City is up. The leaked Ne-yo tracks keep coming out as well, and it just makes me think which ones he's gonna put on the album and if he has anything that hasn't been leaked. This track is actually pretty hot, check it out. When I heard that Pharrell and Usher were doing a track together I was expecting something off the hook, but honestly, I feel indifferent about, "Certified". Apparently Dru Hill is making a comeback and have a few tracks out also, I posted one on here for you guys to check out.

(Kanye West, Rihanna, and Jay-Z)

"Run This Town"- Jay-Z ft. Rihanna and Kanye West
(Off the Bluprint III. Straight Fire)

"Overboard"- Gucci Mane ft. OJ Da Juiceman, Rock City, and LA The Darkman

"If You Want Me To Stay"- Ne=yo
(Nice Track)

"Certified"- Usher ft. Pharrell

"She Wants Me"- Dru Hill

Throwback Track: "7 Days"

(Craig David)

I recently drove up to Toronto to attend a wedding, and before I did, I copped an old school mix out of one of my guys' car. It had a lot of stuff by Lauren Hill, Biggie, Tupac, but my favorite track on that mix was Craig David's, "7 Days". The song was his second single off of his debut album in the United States back around the beginning of the millennium. This track is an all-time classic. Some hot lyrics, and Craig David's voice is real smooth. It's a really chill song, make sure to check it out.

"7 Days"- Craig David
(Smooth Track. Make sure to check out the music video too)

July 17, 2009 Playlist: "The Return"

Yo what's happenin everyone? This is the first post on the blog in about two weeks. For this I deeply apologize, I have been so caught up with summer school and work. But you have noticed there have been a few changes on the site, the most apparent being the name. I decided to switch things up a little bit to bring justice to the blog and what it stands for. Njbxclusive gave off the vibe that I update the blog to have exclsive music that no one has heard before. That's not what I'm about. It's all about bringing to you the music that I love and enjoy.

(Twista and Kanye West)

This playlist contains only ten songs. After two weeks it may seem like very little, but I have come to realize that I need to filter the list. There is plenty of music out there that is hot, but I can't bring to you everything at once. The artists deserve to have their music listened and appreciated, so in this case I hope a little goes a long way. Kanye West has been going hard in 2009, and he's looking to take his record label to new heights. Kanye spits a dope verse on the Twista track, but check out his label mates Consequence and John Legend on the track they did together. It's straight fire. Ne-yo has been steady doing his thing. he stretches his vocalons alongside Gorilla Zoe on the remix for "Echo" and his song "Round and Round" should be a track on an upcoming album. Also check out the collabo between Fabolous and Ryan Leslie off of Fabo's new album, straight fire!

"Alright"- Twista ft. Kanye West
(I've been waiting for this. Straight Fire)

"Whatever You Want"- Consequence ft. Kanye West and John Legend
(G.O.O.D Music has arrived. Straight Fire)

"Echo Remix"- Gorilla Zoe ft. Ne-yo
(Ne-yo snaps in his verse. Nice track)

"Round and Round"- Ne-yo
(Straight Fire)

"Fabolous Life"- Fabolous ft. Ryan Leslie

(Drake)

You can call him Drake, or you can call him Drake Drizzy Rogers, but the man has been tearin it up recently. He's gone from spitting verses alongside Lil Wayne on mixtapes to making hits. We're all aware of his hit single "Best I Ever Had", but the Toronto based artist has been working on a lot of things. His latest includes a verse on Mary J. Blige's new single that's been tearing up the airwaves. The only way I can put it is that his verse is sick. Make sure to check out his other two tracks I've posted as well. Andre 3000 is back on the scene with a smooth track called, Lookin For Ya". I'm a huge fan for everything Andre does, and I really appreciate his music. Make sure to check it out. The Game gets in the studio and lashes back at Jay-Z for calling him out at a performance in Las Vegas a few weeks back. Check it out for yourself.

"The One"- Mary J. Blige ft. Drake
(Straight Fire. One of the sickest Drake verses out)

"Winner"- Drake
(Drake spits on this laid back beat. Nice track)

"Do It Now"- Drake
(Punchline after punchline)

"Lookin For Ya"- Andre 3000

"I'm So Wavy"- The Game
(Jay-Z diss. Game goes hard in this one)
