Black Cobain's last mixtape Young, Gifted & Black definitely earned the respect of the Hip Hop community who viewed him first as the guy standing in Wale's shadow. Now I'm hoping Cheers will solidify the DMV emcee's position as an individual artist. With Hello Chi City and Beat Billionaire commanding the production, this is definitely a tape you don't want to sleep on. Download after the jump.

Curren$y ft. Wale - What It Look Like
Curren$y gives us the first official single from his upcoming album The Stoned Immaculate, which drops on June 5th. He lets Wale introduce "What It Look Like," which has me in an trance thanks to the large yet airy yet soulful production. Word is the video will be out on Sunday, but I'm certain that the single will be available on iTunes on April 10th.

Wale ft. Rick Ross & Fabolous - Albert Pujols Lyrics
(1/31/12:)
If Albert Pujols had "Have a song named after me" on his bucket list, he can cross it off now. As one of STL's former residents this new song from Wale had me hype as soon as it came on. Not sure which project this new collab with Rick Ross and Fabolous will land on, but enjoy regardless!

Napoleon Da Legend - Napoleonic Language [Music Video]
Napoleon Da Legend turns his hot freestyle for Thermal Soundwaves Radio into an even hotter video as he gives us a lesson on his "Napoleonic Language." He makes it a point to show you how he's not a one dimensional emcee as he identifies himself using credentials that definitely wouldn't fit on a Twitter bio, let one piece of paper. "Napoleonic Language" is set to appear on Themal Soundwaves Presents: Timeless Beat Jackers, which pays tribute to classic Hip Hop beats.
