Phil Ade - One In A Million (Video)
Phil Ade's upcoming FreeLP A Different World, will be dropping next Tuesday. Can't wait to hear more from the DMV representative. I can't lie though, I was really hoping he was going to be rapping over the Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth track at the beginning of the video.
Theophilus London - Girls Girls $ (Video)
New video from London's upcoming Timez Are Weird These Days album, dropping 7/19/11. I already pre-ordered my copy off of Amazon and I suggest you do the same.
D-WHY - Shooter McGavin (Video x Audio) (Freaks & Geeks Remix)
West Virginia native D-WHY recently released this video of his track over the Childish Gambino "Freaks & Geeks" instrumental. I'm usually not a fan of hearing somebody rap over a beat that somebody else already killed but this was pretty cool. Audio Below.

SeDrew Price - Gotta Have It All ft. S-U-Preme
This track is actually from 2008 and it's just a personal favorite of mine from SeDrew. No real reason for posting it other than the fact that it's awesome and I felt like everybody should check it out. Too bad he doesn't rap like this anymore. Always nice to hear somebody do Camp Lo's "Luchini" justice.

Jesse Boykins III - Way Of A Wayfarer (FreEP)
Jesse Boykins III first showed up on my radar when he was featured on Mickey Factz' Heaven's Fallout "mixtape" (quotations were necessary beacuse I feel like it was more of an LP but whatever). Since hearing him on "You Remind Me" I've been eagerly awaiting a solo project from him. Maybe he's dropped something since then, maybe not, but this is the first solo project I've seen him release. It's a short 6 track EP but it's a delightful 6 tracks. Think Andre 3000 on The Love Below, that's what it reminds me of. Well enough reading, go check it out.

Tracklist:
01. I Can't Stay

The Dean's List - The Drive-In (FreeLP)
Boston-based collective, The Dean's List, released a free LP back in February of this year. I had "heard of" them but never actually "heard" them until today and I was just blown away. I love the lyrics, the delivery, the content, the production (the production is ridiculously good), and just the overall vibe that The Dean's List project in each song. This may have earned them a spot on next year's All-Freshmen team. Check them out.

Mathien - The Night I Was An Alpha Male
The Chicago collective led by Chris Mathien, released their first single from their upcoming album. Sounds a little like Mika in my opinion but that's not a bad thing. Here is an excerpt from their website:
"Merging calm, funky soul, rock, and a strong hip-hop aesthetic, singer-songwriter Chris Mathien (MAY-thee-in) conveys the passion of reggae and soul vocal stylings, the free experimentation of Parliament-Funkadelic Rock, while incorporating the unconventional hip-hop attitudes of A Tribe Called Quest and The Roots."
Make what you will of that.

Championship Vinyl: Week of 6/26/11 - 7/2/11
I purchased two new releases this week with Big Sean and SBTRKT's albums dropping on the 28th. If you haven't bought Big Sean's album yet, I highly recommend purchasing the Deluxe Edition, you won't regret it. Of the 16 tracks, I listen to 13 of them regularly. I finally purchased Saigon's album. And then I re-discovered Plushgun and felt like "Why don't I already own this album?" Then I fixed that problem and purchased it.

Kendrick Lamar - Section.80 (Album) *Autographed Physical Copies AVAILABLE NOW*
Just found out today that LIMITED EDITION AUTOGRAPHED PHYSICAL COPIES of Section.80 are available now through TDE's website. For some of you, this may not mean much, but for me, this was HUGE news. So much so I had to type with way too many capital letters to express my excitement. Anyways, the link is below.Common - Ghetto Dreams ft. Nas (Prod. By No I.D.)
This track is amazing. I never thought I'd hear Nas rap like this again. Had me feeling like "What year is this?" This will be off of Common's upcoming album "The Dreamer, The Believer" which was originally suppose to drop in June, but is now scheduled for a November release date. The best part, Nas gave it away via his SoundCloud.

Apollo Brown - Tao Te Ching (Video)
Truthfully, Apollo Brown's "Clouds" has to be one of the best instrumental albums I've ever heard. You can listen to it in full at Mello Music Group's BandCamp. Physical copies of "Clouds" are also available through Amazon.

Drake - Marvin's Room (Video x Audio)
To be honest, I refused to buy "Thank Me Later" because I felt like it was a far-cry from the Drake we knew from "So Far Gone". "Take Care" on the other hand seems like everything a Drake album should be. Drake is definitely at his best when making "indie hip hop". I couldn't think of a better way to characterize it. It breaks your typical song structure, there is rapping, singing, interludes, no catchy hook; Drake seems to be reverting back to making music as an art form instead of making commercial friendly music.

Jordan - My Favorite Word
Vegas producer, Jordan, dropped a new track today. I swear, dude's beats just keep getting better and better. How is Kendrick Lamar not on a track like this? Chemical Egypt coming soon.
Kendrick Lamar - Section.80 (Album)
This week has been really busy for me with my 2 jobs (after today I will have worked 13 out of the last 14 days and a total of 110 hours in that time span) so I haven't had many opportunities to update TOTR. But today I happen to log on only to see that Kendrick Lamar dropped Section.80 and I knew I had to cop it. I hate buying from iTunes but I will always make the exception for new Kendrick Lamar. Make sure you cop it too.
Buy: iTunes
