Cocaine 80s - Ghost Lady EP

James Fauntleroy, No I.D., Common and company are so cool that they just drop EPs out of nowhere as the Cocaine 80s.  And the music is just exactly like their name--dope.  I still play their first EP faithfully, and I've tried to put as many people on that project as possible (GUE Radio, Vol. 1 & Vol. 13)

For a preview of the Ghost Lady EP, listen to "Six" ft. Over which includes vocals from Common and James Fauntleroy.

They even included the The Pursuit EP, in the Ghost Lady EP download, so you get two for the piece of none!

New Music: Ludacris ft. Gucci Mane - Shake N Fries

Ludacris is back, and he's preparing to show us that he hasn't lost a thing with his upcoming mixtape, 1.21 Gigawatts.  He let loose the complete version of "Shake N Fries" after an unofficial leak hit the net, so have at it! Ignance at its finest, and I love it.

Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 13: R&B Leaders of the New School

I can't believe there are 13 of these now!

Hip Hop has changed dramatically over the years--almost everything is digital now and rappers can make music to anything because creativity seems endless. I welcome these changes with open arms and although there are a lot of sh*tty artists clogging the Internet, there are also incredible talents that can reach a large audience easier than ever before.

What few seem to notice is that the same movement is happening with R&B.  There are tons of amazing singers and songwriters that are participating in the progressive evolution of this genre that seems to be expanding just as quickly as rap.  I'd like to consider the standouts in R&B our "Leaders of the New School," although many who are just starting to gain major attention have been around in the industry for quite some time.

Check out a Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 13, a showcase of these R&B Leaders of the New School, which includes music from Miguel, Jhené Aiko, Teedra Moses, Frank Ocean, BJ The Chicago Kid, The Weeknd, and more!

New Music: Drake ft. Lil Wayne - The Real Her + "Take Care" Trailer

Last night, Drake tweeted that he handed in the finished version of Take Care to the label, so his sophomore album is definitely dropping soon! The buzz around Twitter is that Kendrick Lamar is featured on a song, which is motive enough for me to purchase it.

The track "The Real Her" is a smooth Take Care that allows Drake to exercise his singing vocals while Lil Wayne handles the rapping.  Check out the exclusive track below and hit the jump to watch the trailer video for Take Care!
