Dr. Dre x Snoop Dogg - The Next Episode @ Singapore
Some live footage of a classic track. I could do without the terrible censoring and the ridiculous product placement. Looks like a damn Beats by Dre commercial.
Yung Berg - WWPD (What Would Pac Do?) (BTS)
Just a little behind the scenes joint from Yung Berg. I actually just listened to "Reality Check" at the gym tonight and it wasn't bad at all.

Mayer Hawthorne: Packers vs. Lions Halftime Show
So you thought Nickelback performed at that halftime show?! Lol, Mayer Hawthorne decided to broadcast a show of his own at his parents crib, with his dad on the bass!! So much better than the actual show. This dude makes great music, its an old sound, but how could you not like it?!

SIN x Rocki Evans - Pumping Hearts (Prod. Thelonious Martin)
Last release for SIN's newest offering, "The Third Lifetime". Check out the project hosted on djbooth.net, November 30th. I've been listening to both these guys for a few months, but this track featuring a Thelonious beat is a must hear.
“Pumping Hearts” is a love scenario in which everything is perfect in the beginning but through time they seemed to grow apart and things get bad. In essence, they separate and he still continues to holds her down, but from a far (of course)… It’s a form of unforgettable Love / Irreplaceable Love..
