Jay Electronica's "Exhibit C" Now Available on iTunes

Just Blaze and Jay Electronica have teamed up to give us one of the most compelling hip-hop songs of the year. And I realized this after repeat spins of an untidy version of the track, replete with obnoxious shoutouts. Imagine how much more powerful it sounds after passing through a mixing console en route to iTunes. Hop over to iTunes and help yourself to the final, mixed and mastered version of Jay Electronica's Exhibit C EP right now.
Don't say I never gave you a Christmas present.

Sade- Soldier of Love

News that critically acclaimed vocalist Sade is working on her first studio album in nearly a decade, Soldier Of Love, has been welcomed by music lovers worldwide. Due to her unique fusion of R&B and smooth jazz the Nigerian born singer created timeless classics such as Smooth Operator and The Sweetest Taboo. With the leak of the title track we now get the chance to hear what her highly anticipated new body of work will sound like. Fortunately the long wait was more than worth it. Sade leads her sultry yet powerful voice over a staccato rhythm thus proving that she has retained her style despite the numerous changes within the musical landscape in recent years. Soldier Of Love is set for a worldwide release on February 8th via Sony Music.

2010 is the Year of Outkast

To borrow Andre's words from "Ms. Jackson," "You can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather." If this picnic goes as planned, however, 2010 could see a batch of new music from OutKast, arguably hip-hop's greatest rapping duo.

Big Boi's Sir Luscious Left Foot
The first OutKast release out the gate will be Big Boi's long overdue solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. Boi tells Billboard.com that his solo debut is "coming at the top of the year." Judging by the singles and buzz songs, Sir Lucious Left Foot shows signs of brilliance. It has already spawned two solid hits, the Mary J Blige-assisted "Something's Gotta Give" and "Royal Flush," alongside Raekwon and Andre 3000. You may recall that "Royal Flush" topped our Best Rap Songs of 2008 list.

Andre 3000's Solo Album
Big Boi's solo outing will be followed directly by Dre's album. In the same Billboard interview, Boi adds that "3000 [will drop] right after me."

Hey, what about Outkast?
At this point, you're probably wondering if these two will ever make another group album. It will only happen on one condition. Here's Big Boi again: "When the solo albums come out, depending on how the fans support them, then we're gonna give them the Outkast album."
The moral of the story is this: if you want OutKast as a whole, you have to go out in droves and support the sum of its parts. Either way, 2010 will be a big year for the two dope boys in a Cadillac.

Rakim's Seventh Seal - Try it Before You Buy it

Seventh Seal is one of the most anticipated hip-hop albums of 2009. The question on everyone's mind, however, has been, "Which Rakim will show up on Seventh Seal -- the intensely lyrical Rakim or an entirely different MC with a new school flavor?" There's only one way to find out. The folks at Conspiracy Worldwide managed to get their hands on a sampler version of The Seventh Seal and were kind enough to share. Listen to the album below and sound off in the comment section.
