2 Must Have Commercial Albums: 2010


LupeFIASCO: LASERS; Rel.date: 2010

- One of the most slept on artists of all time, Mr. Fiasco, plans to deliver something special when his first studio album since 2007's "The Cool" drops sometime early this year . With intellectual and mind stimulating concepts combined with witty wordplay, he is sure to leave the avid hip-hop junkie thoroughly pleased. He has released two mixtapes in the recent months that were just a sampler to the main course entitled, "Lasers". His tape "Enemy of The State: A Love Story" released on Nov. 26, 2009 was an instant hit, being played on repeat for months throughout the nation. The album has already had a few leaks, with the most recent being the classy, yet super fresh track 'What You Want'. Click the Jump Below for the Download.



ErykahBADU: The New Amerykah Part Two; Rel.Date: 3/30/10

What can I say about Erykah that has not already been said by all. She truly brings out the best in MUSIC, fusing her jazz-ful voice with hypnotic and trance setting instrumentals. Two fresh tracks have already been leaked from the album, which I feel do not even do the project justice. I had a chance to view a video of the listening party held in the city (NYC) and the vibe was incredible. Check out the video of her first single off the album entitled 'Jump in the Air(Stay There)' featuring Lil Wayne in the previous post below, as well as the analytical breakdown of her as an artist, composed by my collaborator Zsa. The album is A MUST HAVE my people.
