Needless to say I'm a fan of good music. Nicolay is one producer that puts out just that. This is an album I am definitely looking forward to hearing. For those of you that like solid beats and good melodies, I recommend picking up this album when it drops on Sept 15th 2009. If you are familiar with Nicolay's work (especially the Foreign exchange albums), you already know this will be right in line with the good grooves he creates. The first single, "Lose your way", seems to set off this album with a nice tone.

Jay Electronica: Dear Moleskine. (prod. by Just Blaze)
Those that don't know about this dude....need to familiarize yourself Jay Electronica is one of the nicest MC's out. Trust me. You don't hear him spit on this until the damn near the end. But you can tell by the few lines..it's serious. Good music continues.

Maino feat. Swizz Beatz - Million Bucks
Maino has had some pretty decent singles. This might be the best one so far. I need to hear this at a backyard party.

Amerie - Why R U
Why R U
Only because she's singing over one of the GREATEST hip hop beats of all time.
50 Cent - "Ok You're Right"
I really can't front on this joint. When I first heard it a couple of months ago It felt like a solid joint....fast forward to now....I still like it.
