Be sure to tune in to BET at 2pm CST tomorrow to catch Count from L.E.P. on their new program The Deal.  He’ll be kicking some bars in the booth with Jim Jones, so don’t miss it.  We definitely need to support our local artists when they get national shine like this. Update:  I just received…

My only problem is that there aren’t enough rappers on this.  Gadzooks! Add 2, Sha Stimuli, Lil Fats, CyMarshall Law, Jusmula, St. Laz & Miz – “Coast 2 Coast (Cypher #1)” (Prod. by Young ASAP)

Big Wiz, or as some like to call him, Phat Boy Fresh, is currently in the lab putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album, Slice of Life.  Here’s the first official leak, from said album, “Life of a Gangster”. Big Wiz – “Life of a Gangster”

GLC connects with some of Harlem’s finest, and blesses Purple City’s own, Shiest Bub, with the first single from his new project.  GL adds his Chi-Town flavor and wisdom to this introspective track. Shiest Bub feat. GLC & Broadway Slim – “Posted on the Strip”
