Hailing from Chicago, the group consists of “three horns, a rapper, a blues-rock trio and a female singer”. Definitely looking forward to their Hard Times EP, dropping in December.

Artist Spotlight: Chiddy Bang
Chiddy Bang is a Philly based duo comprised of Chiddy (emcee) and Xaphoon Jones (DJ/producer) who combine elements of indie rock and electronica with some good ole fashioned "spittin." The result has been described by some bloggers as a "hipster’s wet dream," but Chiddy Bang prefer to think of themselves as "kings of the basement party jam." This duo actually met on the campus of Drexel University where they are both currently students. Only 20 years old, and Chiddy Bang has already caught the attention of major labels and artists alike, Kanye West being the most notable. Chiddy Bang inked a deal with Parlophone Record with whom they released their EP, The Preview. Chiddy Bang is currently working on their debut album, The Swelly Life due out in 2011. The Preview is currently available on iTunes for only $6.99. Buy it here.

So I present you with what I believe is the top 8 G.O.O.D. Friday tracks, in no particular order.

Cleveland's Response to Lebron's Rise Commercial (Video)
I was ecstatic the day he signed with Miami. Not because of the fact he'd be with D-Wade and Chris "T-Rex" Bosh, it was because I knew how many people would begin to hate Lebron as much as I do. This commercial is the epitome of why I don't like him as a person. Props to whoever did this, it's actually pretty humorous.

Wiz Khalifa Arrested
Wiz was arrested in Greenville after cops raided his tour bus and found over 30 lbs of weed. Not really a fan of Wiz, mainly because all he seems to do is rap about weed. I guess if you rap about it enough, people will start paying attention. It's really unfortunate considering he was really on the up and his career just kept looking better, now he's going to have this obstacle in his way. Best of luck to Wiz.
XV - Top Of The Roof
XV released this on his site just a freebie for the fans back in July. I thought it was going to be on Vizzy Zone (which I'll be posting here soon) but for some reason it was left off. This is however, the track I named the site after. Don't why, it just sounded right and I love the song.

Christian Rich - The Decadence Mixtape (Mixtape)
Christian Rich is an artist-producer duo comprised of the Hassan Brothers hailing from Chicago, IL. Last year, they were signed to The Neptunes label, Star Trak Entertainment. It's kind of difficult to categorize their sound but I'd say they're a R&B/Pop/Electronic/Hip Hop group. They have a couple of guest appearance on this mixtape but the biggest names are probably Peter Bjorn & John (who remix their track, Famous Girl), Pusha T, and GLC.
Tracklist:
1. P's Intro (feat. Pharrell Williams)
2. Hello Virgin
3. Famous Girl
4. Nothing Like Trouble
5. Stacks

Kendrick Lamar - Monster (Freestyle)

Colin Munroe - Colin Munroe Is The Unsung Hero (Mixtape)
This is the debut and only mixtape from Canadian singer-writer-producer, Colin Munroe. Granted, it's kind of old considering it came out in December 2008, but I'm sure a lot of you still haven't listened to it. Well, you need to. Colin Munroe's claim to fame came when he remixed Flashing Lights (and titled his version, Give Me Those Flashing Lights) and Kanye West loved it so much, he put it on his mixtape. While Munroe himself is more of a Indie-Pop artist, this mixtape features a ton of Hip Hop guests and it makes for a great mixtape. Features include, Mickey Factz, Drake, Wale, Joell Ortiz, Black Milk, and more.

Tracklist:

You Probably Haven't Heard: Mike Posner Edition
Up until Cooler Than Me came out, nobody but the bloggers even knew who Mike Posner was. When Posner first came onto the scene with his much beloved A Matter of Time mixtape, he was still attending Duke University and doing concerts on the weekends. A year-and-half later and now he's a household name with a ton of radio play. Let's not forget about the music that started it all. Here are his first 2 mixtapes that still get a ton of rotation in my iPod. And just for the record Cooler Than Me ft. Big Sean>>>Cooler Than Me without Big Sean.

Artist Spotlight: J. Cole
You may have heard of J. Cole, you may have not, but you will. As the first artist signed to Jay-Z's label Roc Nation. Jay-Z said he signed Cole after hearing the track "Lights, Please" off of J. Cole's mixtape, The Come Up. After being signed, J. Cole appeared on Jay-Z's "A Star is Born" from The Blueprint 3 and proceeded to tour with Jay. Jermaine Cole was actually born in Germany but before the age of 1, he moved to Fayetteville, NC and graduated from St. John's University and graduated magna cum laude. He's currently gearing up to release Friday Night Lights on 11/12/2010 and he's also working on his debut album Cole World which is due out in February 2011. I don't have The Come Up but I did post his mixtapes The Warm Up (official) and The Blow Up (unofficial) which contains unreleased tracks from J. Cole.
