How ’bout a lil soul for your Saturday? With his contribution to Levi’s cool series, Tony Toni Tone’s former frontman remakes the Spinners classic which was written by Stevie Wonder. Study your lessons, kids. iv Previously: Nas Remakes “Hey Young World”
Two nights ago, The Unit brought the Invitation Tour to Beantwon. In the above clip, 50 fires a shot at Diddy and a playful one at Yayo before Banks bangs out his new single. No Lloyd. No problem. Splash! Sidebar: Peace, Connecticut
Fuck an industry event, Antwan brought the party at the Island bash. Even the ubiquitous producer behind the lead single off Sir Lucious Left Foot joined in on the fun. Stank them later. 57 Update: A couple of more performances from Boi.
The King’s uncaged and along with the funky drummer he’s gonna deliver his “Yeah Ya Know (Takers)” single at Stephen Hill‘s big show manana. Stay tuned. RapUp

Eat your heart out, Hov. Now that Tha Dogg’s allowed back across the pond, he got to hold things down on the hip-hop front at this year’s Glastonbury festival. The good folks at Soul Culture got more footage to check out. Let’s pretend we were there.
You can’t stop this guy. Before introducing The-Dream at the big Def Jam party in LA last night, Khaled had to spit a few brief bars from the “All I Do Is Win (Remix)”.

My new favorite performer got a chance to recite track 16 off The State Vs. Radric Davis for a gang of music industry folks. Nice sweater, La Flare. Brrr! RapUp
“All a nigga want for Christmas is another year”. Mr. Jenkins told ya before and he’ll tell you again. He knows Big Meech—the real Big Meech—and he got him to appear on his new song which incidentally bears a title very similar to Rick Ross’ current banger. Hmm. os UPDATE: Jizzle’s connect weighs in.
Eminem presented Dr.Dre with an ASCAP Founding Fathers Award last night at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. It’s still a Shady/Aftermath thing, you bastards. ru x rtny
“Tryin’ to give everybody what they’ve been waitin’ for and make sure they’re not disappointed”. We all read his statement but last night on the red carpet of the ASCAP awards in LA, Devi Dev got a chance to talk to Dr. Dre face-to-face. Doc basically says the leak won’t stop him and he’s still hard at work on Detox which he hopes to have out by the end of Fall. Hold ya breath!

Oh well take a ride with Don Cannon and discover the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League artist. Guess some MCs still do the pen to paper thing. 5:01 Overtime due July 20. os

This is it y’all. With Times Square a few blocks down, Hov had to throw in a lil taste of the Big Apple anthem. Don’t front, you know all the words. Peep Em at the end.
The G-O-D. The G-O-D. Let go my HIGO.
“Mixed feelings like a mulatto” Seriously, y’all probably don’t deserve this one. But I’m in a good mood, your lucky. Lucky Lefty took us back with this one. Gots the feeling these are the type of tunes that are gonna crack that Yankee Stadium set list. Bet on it.
