Let Me Put You On: Nitty Scott

Nitty Scott is as retro as they come so you know I'm a fan. It's been a LONG time since I came across a Femcee that I could co-sign to. I'm definitely putting my John Hancock next to this one. "Auntie Maria's Crib" is off of her next project Doobies x Popsicle Sticks dropping soon.



I'm trying to stimulate my mental
Rap so bad we just bump the instrumental
Copy cats can't copy rap so they trace it
My pen game like a blunt you should face it

HOT OR NOT: Wale "Best Night Ever"

It's slowly growing on me but I can't decide if it's download worthy just yet. Hmmm what do you think? Wale's sophomore album Ambitious, his first under Ross' Maybach Music Group, drops November 1st.



Everything got a flaw, we desire perfection
Body pad as hell, her vagina is heaven

Mayer Hawthorne (New Music)

"The Walk" is an ode to those long leaded heart breakers. Hawthorne really needs to go on tour with Cee-lo. They are really bringing back that Happy Days/Motown soul back. How Do You Do is scheduled to release on October 11th.

From the moment that I met you I thought you were fine, so fine
But you're shitty fucking attitude has got me changing my mind

Murs (New Video)

I must admit I wasn't really checking for Murs prior to this track. It seems as though a haircut and heartbreak can do wonders for a man. "Remember 2 Forget" will definitely appear on the soundtrack to my life. Also, Ski Beatz makes this easy to stroll to. Love & Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation is due out October 11th.

Last night I sat down to cry, over you
Then I stopped to ask myself why, over you
And snapped out of it and got on with my day cuz
My life's been a lot better since the break up

Let Me Put You On: Levar Allen

So our neighbors to the North have once again thrown a hot young talent our way. I have no idea how I stumbled across Levar Allen on YouTube but I'm definitely glad I did. Saying he does a great job at covering some of pop's greatest hits is an understatement. He literally makes the tracks his own and in some instances, as shown below, proves to make a joint better than the original. Follow, subscribe, support!







Here's an original. This is TOO cleaver for such a boring ass game.

HOT OR NOT: Pleasure P

BahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *wipes tears* yes he did begin this song with a portion of Clifton Powell's monologue from Dead Presidents. There is so much WRONG with this song that it's so right *sigh* oh so right. I blame Lil' Wayne.

She had a lot of niggas that couldn't go on forever

She never had a real orgasm until I taught her how to fuck

I was the coach she was just the rookie

Now she a pro at throwing back that pussy

I hope you like what I taught her

Now she all shaved up no Harry Potter

Let Me Put You On: Bridget Kelly

We all know Bridget Kelly must be talented if she's signed to Roc Nation however, this song did absolutely nothing for me. I would've preferred to read it as a poem since lyrically it's hot. Regardless of that, she KILLS it on this acoustic cover. Can you tell that Frank Ocean wrote this? Makes so much sense now.

It won't ever get old, not in my soul, not in my spirit keep it alive

We'll go down this road till it turns from color to black and white

Don't Call It A Comeback: One Chance

I'm a tad too old for boy bands but One Chance was always that guilty pleasure of mine. These

Chicago natives have been jerked around for years but hopefully T-Pain won't pull a J records and shelve their debut that's rumored to be dropping later this year. They first popped on the scene back in '06 with "Look At Her" and I'm assuming that they got tired of just staring at women because now they're back with "Sexin' on You". Sidebar...does anyone want to talk about how strong the product placement was? I mean damn, did Nuvo PAY to shoot the video? Also, would anyone like to discuss how the "let's give them shots of straight alcohol and lock them in a sweaty ass room" concept? No one? Ok...well their mixtape Ain't No Room For Talkin' is out now.

Look at you shaking you can't control what you do

Lickin' so much like we swimming in a pool

Around The Way: London

It's a treat to come across a hip hop track that makes you feel good both mentally and phyicallly. Definitely adding this to my cardio playlist. I see you Chrome.

Nobody wants to go the long way

I do it twice and do it my way

-Artemis J

Let Me Put You On: Cori B

It seems as though Willow Smith isn't the only one playing for Team MyDaddyCanRapAndICanSing. Snoop's daughter Cori B is picking up the mic and isn't that bad. The way I see it, Willow can have Disney and Cori can have Nickelodeon and I can still be worth less than them. Everyone wins!

Pay attention, I can show you

How to do things my way

Auburn "Hello" (Video)

The video, lyrics, and artists are all certified in my book. Auburn can not only sing ("La la la") but has a fly flow. Rumor has it she'll be dropping a studio album later this year.

Walkin out cold stones baby he was stone cold
Saw him looking at me stairing harder than mofo

Why you listening to your friends?
They dont wanna see us be.
Boy You better take it slow
Or I'll be history

-Artemis J

HOT OR NOT: YC

*SIGH* It's just SO DAMN CATCHY. Who can't see themselves pregamming to this?

I know I know I know I know I know I know

I know I know I know I know I know I know

New Music: Melanie Fiona

I'm actually excited for Fiona's next album The MF Life (dropping this November). This track makes me think of The Weeknd. Ohhhh I'm forcing these 2 to go on tour together.

Swear this man is begging me to leave him

Getting sick of being so mistreated

Another night without, without his arms around me

-Artemis J

HOT OR NOT: Daniel Beddingfield

Daniel hasn't dropped a studio album since I was a Frosh...in high school. Well now he's back...with dancehall!!! I think it's a cute little jam but that's my opinion, what's yours?

We got caught in the fire, dark wins out everytime

My heartbeat is a liar it tells me your still mine

-Artemis J

Let Me Put You On: DJ Chose

First off, I LOVE the visuals. On some corny sentimental ish it makes my heart smile to see artists rep their city, especially when they first start out. Lyrically and visually this track is too intimate to pass over. Subscribe, support, follow.

Pioneers, inventors be the niggas we replacin'

If they don't let me in my spot then baby trust me I'mma take it
