J Dilla - Rebirth Of Detroit [Free Album Stream]

I was just telling my brother that I wanted to have a Dilla Day and just listen to J Dilla while I study his musical legacy, and I think today may be the perfect moment. To celebrate all he's done for his hometown and for Hip Hop period, Detroit's finest come together on Dilla's newest album Rebirth Of Detroit.

Stream the album below, and click HERE to purchase a limited edition physical copy of The Rebirth Of Detroit.

Usher - Looking 4 Myself [Free Album Stream]

Update: Looks like the stream's been yanked by the label. Sorry G's! Purchase HERE.

I'm not going to act like I'm all the way excited about this. Usher's album Looking 4 Myself is officially in stores today, and he's made the project available for stream to let you preview the record before/if you buy. From the snippets I posted earlier, with the exception of the singles, Looking 4 Myself doesn't seem too promising. But hey, I could be wrong.

Stream J. Cole's Cole World: The Sideline Story!!

Although I've been tempted with the many online links, I have yet to hear J. Cole's upcoming album Cole World: The Sideline Story.  Thankfully, I received an e-mail from J. Cole's mailing list that announced his album is available for stream and purchase, which I think is a smart reactionary move to the link.  Let's hope that when September 27th comes, the album reaches #1!

If you're like me and you want to check out the album before it officially drops, stream it legally here at J. Cole's official website!
