Lyrics of the Week- (Mickey Factz- Diamond Dust)

Mickey Factz speaks the truth in this one.  Download his latest tape here.

I thought about where I came from, I ain't have an opportunity till I made one.  So when I say I'm better than you, I only say it to the person that I literally changed from.

Kanye West f/ Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend, Lloyd Banks, Ryan Leslie- Christian Dior Denim Flow

  Thanks to MAC2011 for this one.  G.O.O.D. Friday a little late, but whatever.  Another great track from Yeezy, and a nice collab from the featured artists.  Download here.

Curren$y- Michael Knight (Behind The Scenes)

Spitta back at it.  Michael Knight, Michael Knight, Michael Knight.  Everytime a video of his drops its always a classic.

Kanye West- SNL Performance

Listen to this new Kanye verse of "Power." Could've been real uncomfortable if he kept the same verse in, seeing how he dissed SNL on it. Regardless, this verse is better.

Pharoahe Monch- Westwood Freestyle

Quick, witty wordplay in this freestyle.  Would've been better if it was longer, but no denial this dude has skills.

Trademark ft. Terri Walker- Up here

Just in off of Trademark's "Issue 3." Fire as usual.

Shawn Chrystopher- I'm Good/Catch Me if You Can (Live)

Shawn Chrystopher, like XV (see below), believes he was another undiscovered Freshman of the Year.  Hes got a lot of good content and witty lines that you have to listen to twice.  A lot of motivation and patience too.

Steve Liriks x Pheo- Doin Me

Steve Liriks and Pheo, both from Moreno Valley, CA, bring you "Doin Me."  It's a nice collab from these two.  Also check out this freestlye from Steve Liriks on djbooth.net.  Pheo is a part of that UTB Life$tyle and always brings it in the booth.

XV- Mirrors Edge

XV spits some of the best lyrics around today.  Arguably one of the most deserving of the "XXL Freshman" cover, hes taken that to heart and used it to his advantage.  Not to mention, it is definitely worth while to see him live.  Great stuff.

Afta-1

What a creative idea.  I visited Afta-1's website and found a crazy mix of art and beats.  He has a real positive message to share too.
