50 Cent x Jeremih – Planet 50
50 and DJ Drama’s solid Gangsta Grillz effort, The Lost Tape, dropped today. I’m a Curtis fan, so I’m enjoying what him and Dram did here. One of the standouts is the Jeremih-featured “Planet 50.” I wonder if it’s in the same galaxy as “Snoop World”? Nah, right?
Download The Lost Tape here.

Treated Crew – LL Cool
Ladies Love Cool James, but they also love the Treated Crew. And as Treated Tuesday’s roll on, today we get another heater from the collective. Produced by Mike Jaxx, “LL Cool” features (in order of appearance) Hollywood Holt, Mic Terror, Show You Suck, Million $ Mano and Gzus Piece. What’s cooler than that? Life, Honor, Love, Power. And yes, if you’re keeping score at home, this is the second Uncle L sample of the day. Gotta love it.
For a CDQ of last week’s release, “Formal Introduction,” hit the hump.

Video: Lupe Fiasco Talks Food & Liquor 2, Pete Rock, Chicago Hip-Hop & More
Fresh off the release of his new single, Lupe hit WGCI’s The Morning Riot to talk about a few things including his upcoming album, Pete Rock, his creative process and the youth movement in Chicago’s hip-hop scene. Lu has some great words for the younger Chicago artists here.
Lu also says Pete Rock gave the track his blessings when he initially reached out. Interesting.
