#77 Pac Div "Show You" feat. BJ The Chicago Kid



One of my favorite Pac Div tracks, this is on a lighter vibe, but it features one of my favorite vocalists at the moment, BJ The Chicago Kid, droppin another ill hook. This is off Pac Div's Mania, which dropped for free in March. Like from Pac Div spits"Okay, baby im sorry, but let me be the one to say that you are quite startling, okay this some geek shit, but can you keep a secret, lowkey, i think im the one that you should be with, take it or leave it, braid it or weave it....". This is one is for the ladies, but its dope. Get Mania here: http://hypetrak.com/2011/04/pac-div-mania-mixtape-tagless-version/

#76 Locksmith "The Bottom" prod. Ski Beatz



Another ill cut off "Embedded". This one Lock boasts  "I was born as a muslim, submission to the most high, bullets flying and mothers crying, whats close by, folks sighed in relief, hopin they dont die, niggaz spillin beans for pies, no bowtie, stores open from overdosin off coke highs, booboo got murdered for nothin, my nigga no jive....so how did i become such a lyricist, every saturday was debatin jehova's witnesses...."... Lock murders this dope beat from Ski Beatz. Get the album here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/embedded/id475010252

# 75 Stalley "The Night" Prod. Rashad



Another ill track off "Lincoln Way NIghts". Stalley and Rashad make an amazing duo. Stalley spits on this "My older homie's told me hustlin a part of making it, and no one's handin over anything, you gotta take it, not simple rules, when you tryna flex skills, and align yourself with bills, and a keep a hold of faith wit it... " Stalley has quickly became one of my favorite artists during this past year.

#74 The Roots "Stomp" feat. P.O.R.N.





This beat immediately grabs your attention. The Roots always comes legit. Peep the track above, and cop Undun here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/undun/id478164170


#73 TiRon & Ayomari "Jack Kerouac" prod. Dahi



The intro track to A Sucker for Pumps is poetic, moving and just great music in general. A great start to a quality project. TiRon breaks it down in the second verse "I said I loved her, But I loved another, She said she loved me, wanted me only then she fucked another, And then I got lonely 'til I met Nikki and she did the same, But instead of me treating it case by case like que sera sera, It's no surprise it's just my pride and rider rider in me". Check out A Sucker for Pumps here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-sucker-for-pumps/id465132406


#72 Blu "Doowhop" feat. Planet Asia & Killer Ben



THis is a dope cut off the "Jesus" Lp. Blu dropped several projects in 2011. This track was an instant favorite of mine and i played it alot on my radio show friday nights in the bay area on 90.5FM KSJS. Peep it above, and cop the Jesus LP here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/jesus/id449264004
