Been so busy today, I hadn’t gotten a chance to get my girl Dasha’s latest video online. This is the last video… song #1 of her Top 10 countdown to Back 2 The Future, her debut mixtape that will be dropping tomorrow (which is sooner than you think). Dasha’s favorite song from the mixtape (song #1) is… I’m not gonna ruin it, check the video. It’s one of my favs too!

I don’t know about you, but I have really been enjoying these daily video blogs from our girl Dasha. After Saturday I feel like something will be missing in my life! Hope you all are enjoying these as much as I have been. We are on #3 of Dasha’s Top 10 countdown of her favorite tracks from her upcoming mixtape, Back 2 The Future: Remakes & Remixes Vol 1. Her #3 is actually my #1 from the mixtape… Mos Def’s “Umi Says.” All I have to say about this record is that Dasha BODIES this track. Peep it for yourself!
Back 2 The Future: Remakes & Remixes Vol 1 dropping this Saturday, November 14th.

It’s Day 5 of Dasha’s Back 2 The Future countdown of her favorite songs from the forthcoming mixtape. We are only 6 days away from the 23 track mixtape release on November 14th! On Day 5, Dasha introduces us to her version of Kanye West’s “Golddigger.” She tells us that she ain’t necessarily looking for a man with money, but he’s definitely gotta hold his own. Before she gets into the track, she takes a moment to address the haters over in the comments at 2DopeBoyz. Nothing against 2DB, but comments like those show how immature their fan base is… and that’s all I’m gonna say on that.
If you’re in the L.A. area, feel free to drop by Dasha’s mixtape release party this Saturday, November 14th! Location and details after the cut…

Dasha really makes this one her own as she goes in over “Love Lockdown.” Watch Dasha as she explains the concept of the song and describes a bit of her persona. Back 2 The Future: Remakes & REmixes Vol 1 coming November 14th!

Every now and then there is an artist/group or album that REALLY catches my attention and I like to put the spotlight on them for a sec on the site. I gotta thank my man Jonathan for turning me on to this 4 member group out of NYC… DXA. I’ve been playing their album, Progression, non-stop since I got a hold of it a few weeks ago. The album actually dropped a year ago in August 2008, so allow me to take a late pass, but if you have yet to hear it grab your pass here and take a listen after the cut. If you’re into that 90s NY Boom Bap, as well as dope lyricism, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

A few of you mentioned in our Most Anticipated 4th Quarter Releases post that you were eagerly awaiting the debut album from DMV artist Wale. The album doesn’t come out until September 22nd, but executive producer Mark Ronson recently held a listening session and Rap-Up.com was there to give us their take on the album. No audio associated here, but it’s cool to read what we can expected to hear. Check it after the cut…. by the way, where’s “Chillin”?

For those of you that are a fan of Timbaland and the whole Mosley Music Group movement, do I have a treat for you! If you’ve followed Tim’s career over the years, you may know that he has a brother by the name of Sebastian. Sebastian was featured on countless Timbaland & Magoo tracks back in the day and was most recently featured on Timbland’s hit “The Way I Are” with Keri Hilson and DOE.
Sebastian hit me up tonight on twitter (I fucking love Twitter) and told me about the new album he has coming out. In fact, they recorded the album listening party (above), so you can hear some of the heat that’s about to go down. The first track “Wobbley” is the lead single for the album and no it was not produced by Timbaland. Wizz Dumb is the producer responsible for the 90s Timbaland sound, although Tim himself is overseeing the whole project.
A lot of you may know that I grew up in Virginia Beach and I love seeing my hometown peeps get their shine. This album is a long time coming from Sebastian and I think he’s seriously about to give the clubs that hip hop that they’ve been missing.
