The Away Team. This “Sum Of Me” cut appears on a mixtape billed as The Training Day Mixtape that’s being circulated around the internet, in preparation for the release of Training Day on October 30th. Training Day features Evidence, Darien Brockington, Billionz, Black Milk, Supastition, Sean Price & Nervous Reck. I’m a bit confused. The features on the circulated (and tagged) album that I copped from Hip Hop Ruckus (see below) has the same features list as the album that will drop a month later. *shrugs*…anywho “The Odds” is sick.

Pimp C snaps on this banger from Icewater’s Polluted Water.
Let me say, I’ve been blessed to have been listening to very good music lately. Icewater’s Polluted Water is nice. Strong Arm Steady’s Deep Hearted is insane. And I’m diggin’ Talib Kweli’s efforts mentionned below. Dilated Peoples‘ The Release Party stays on rotation. Remy Ma gets her props too. besides Shesus Khryst, what seems to be a disc full of tracks left over from her Terror Squad days has hit the net entitled The BX Files.
On the flip, that cover is quite trash. Send me $100, and some high resolution photos, I’d hook it up.
