Freestyle Friday

Como ustedes amigos?

Maaan! Everybody's albums seem to be leaking at the moment. Kid Cudi, Jay-Z & Raekwon's albums have all leaked before their respective release dates. Since I think all 3 are dope lyricists though I figured I would post some cyphers from each instead of the tracks that have leaked out of respect for this Freestyle Friday!

I've heard a few of the leaked tracks from each and for the most part enjoyed them - particularly Jigga's "Brooklyn". Hova is apparently not too cut about the leaks (rumour has it that Timbo leaked them anyway) and is stoked with the mostly good reviews he is getting for his tracks. Here is one of Jay-Z's cyphers from back in the day on Big Tig's show 'The Basement'. 'The Blueprint 3' sounds like it will be another dope Jigga album, so go out and buy that isshh when it comes out on 9/11 as they say over thurr.

Jay-Z - The Basement Cypher


Kid Cudi on the other hand is apparently pissed that his tracks got leaked. Rumour has it that Cudi's newly leaked tracks from his soon to be released album (particularly the collabo with MGMT) come with a disclaimer that they are unfinished. This probably has something to do with the masses of bad press he has received for them, with most reviews saying that his really old track with Common and Kanyeezy (the Lady Gaga spin off track 'poke her face') is the best on the album. Not good news at all. Check his cypher out anyway, no denying the kid has flava when he spits bars. If you're a fan remember to cop his up and coming album 'The Man on the Moon: The End of Day' which is due to drop September 15th!

Raewkon The Chef! The year was '95 the last time this dude dropped a solo album!! He has kept pushing his album back since 2007 too and I was starting to doubt it even existed! Everybody has been anticipating his album since his last banger 'Only built 4 Cuban Linx" and although everyone knows you can't top a classic debut album, the reviews so far have said that it is as good as his first and def worth the 14 year wait!! Here's a Raekwon and Ghostface free from back in the day after his first album dropped...if you're a fan remember to cop his 2nd solo album 'Only built 4 Cuban Linx II" come September 8th!!
