YELAWOLF ft. Lil Jon - Hard White (Up In The Club)
I know it has been a minute. Took a huge blog break. Things have been rough but I'm hanging in there, doing what I do best. DJed at Sub-T last night for part of the open mic. It was interesting because I always feel like I am missing something, plus the sounds went to shit there lately. Even though it is always a pleasure to spin there with Boy Wonder @djboy1der and Norm Rockwell it was a night I won't forget. Well here is the new track from Yelawolf, been out about a week, but I feel it needs to be heard more and not slept on! He just has this rawness about him that I can dig and I like that shit! Peace, Love and Respect.

Controversy on a hit single. (Lil Wayne, Carter IV)
So yesterday, I come back to the house and Jargon tells me, check this out! He goes to Google on his laptop and types in (Lil Wayne Talk 2 Me Carter IV).
The first thing that pops up is
I hear the first sound, of course I've heard this before, so I'm not really thinking about what he actually typed, I more thinking he has a computer issue. Then I realize as he breaks it down more that the song that people are claiming to be Lil Wayne's next single on the new Carter IV album is actually Jargon ft. Tommy C - Ride With Me (Finish What We Started) which I was at the first recording session for in 2010 of last summer with Rotimi. Anyhow, check out even the release date marked February 1, 2011 here:
http://music.napster.com/jargon-music/album/ride-with-me-(feat.-tommy-c.)-%5Bfinish-what-we-started%5D/14119966
This song has hit almost 800 thousand views and counting. Just check out all the comments and feedback, its so crazy how people really think this is Lil Wayne. I say, Jargon is just that great of an artist. Like Lil Wayne and Drake, he can do that slow style with the fun feel good lyrical skill. He can make good records period. The feedback and comments show that he is talented. So I leave you with this, give credit where credit is due!
