Drake Brings out J.Cole


During a recent performance in NYC, Drake brought out none other than J.Cole. Drake was once the next big thing and it is now Cole’s turn. Drake will continue touring while Cole is scheduled to start his tour next month.

Drake + Bodyguard Involved in Fan Altercation


Send this man to jail!! Ha, kidding. The story goes that two fans came up to Drake after a show which lead to an altercation between the two fans, Drake. One of the fans ended up in the hospital. I will admit I’m not one of Drake’s biggest fans but there is no way this is the whole story. Since when would an artist go out of his way to beat the crap out of a fan? Rap-Up says the following…


After the show, two fans claim that they were merely showing their appreciation for Drizzy when the rapper and his bodyguard got physical, pushing them away and spurring an altercation that sent one of them to the hospital.


“Before I got to say his name, [his bodyguard] punched me in the mouth and I fell back,” said Jeremis Perez Soriano, who ended up with six stitches on the left side of his mouth. “These are the same people that are buying your CDs. You shouldn’t treat us like that.”


His female friend, who was first pushed away by Drake, maintains that there was no physical contact on their behalf. “He never put his hands on Drake, he never put his hands on the security guard. He never even made a fist to hit the security guard for the security guard to come and hit him that hard,” she said. “Drake went to get on his bus and he flicked me off in my face and was like, ‘F you, you’re nothing.’”


Soriano is currently seeking legal advice and plans to file suit against the hip-hop star. He says he doesn’t want much, only reimbursement for his medical bills.

QuEST – Inner Sense (Prod. By M&D)


Dope New QuEST


From all the leaks from QuEST, I have to say this track along with “We’re Goin Down” are my two favorites. I’ve had this song for about two days now and it continues to grow on me. Listen to it a few times before you rate it/download it and I’m sure it’ll grow on you too. Real solid lyricism mixed with a great sample (not sure who it is?). Overall pretty solid track from QuEST.


QuEST – Inner Sense

Yo Gotti – Look in the Mirror (Remix) feat. Wale, Wiz Khalifa, and J.Cole


Dope Remix


I know most of you don’t really care for any type of Yo Gotti, but I will venture a guess that the features he has on this remix account for 3 of the most popular artists on GMAD. You just had to listen.. But, in my opinion, Wale and Cole really stand out. Too fast and tough of a beat for Wiz to keep up. If any of you actually read the news (which you should), you knew this was coming.


Oh and shout out to Paul ‘Shardy Boy’ Fagan for being Wiz’s #1 supporter. And a young man by the name of William Gilpin Day III aka Trip. Young man knows how to have a grand ole time and is quite the pong partner.

Mann – Return of the Macc feat. Iyaz vs. Nipsey Hussle – Return of the Mack feat. Iyaz


Whose song is it?


Okay so I went back and forth all day about whether to post the Mann song or not and then the 3rd or 4th time I listened to it I had a revelation, “Wait, where have I heard this?” Oh yeah, on this song which also features Iyaz. I’ve seen nothing written about this phenomenon nor do I really care. Mann tries, but comes short. Who knows whose song it really is… Nice little tune, Enjoy…

Lil Wayne Has Heard Kanye’s Album


As we reported yesterday, Kanye’s album got a tentative official release date. However, in a recent in interview with Rolling Stone Kanye revealed in a recent visit to Rikers to visit a one, Dwayne Carter, he rapped his entire album. So, let me get this straight, Kanye sat there fro 45-60 minutes rapping as Wayne just listened? I guess that could be considered excitement in jail. Except below..


“Sometimes he has so many guests he tells me to come back another day,” his manager, Cortez Bryant, says. Drake, Diddy, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj are among those who’ve gotten past the guards. During West’s visit, he gave Wayne a private concert. “I rapped my entire new album for him,” West says. “Like, ‘Do you want to to rewind?’”.


Double R


Shawn Collins – What a Rush – EP


cfen Update: added a couple more songs. Download these dope tracks and buy the cd for some other great ones.


Nice Shawn Collins


This song is one of my most played of the week so figured it should get up here.  Shawn Collins raps and sings over a very smooth hip hop beat with strings and piano in it that changes throughout the song.  It goes from calm and piano driven, slowly building to a climax with electric guitar and some strong singing.  Also I am realllly enjoying the Wizard of Oz theme/references throughout the song . Im not the hugest fan of the movie, so I duno why I really like it.. but i do..  ha… ENJOY!

Slim Thug – So High feat. B.o.B.


New Bobby Ray


B.o.B. blessed us with a nice hook and a verse to Slim Thugga’s song. Usually Slim Thug gets to me but the up-beat nature of the song helps cancel-out the blandness of his voice. Enjoy..

Eminem – No Love feat. Lil Wayne [Video Teaser]


Full video will debut at 7:56 pm on MTV tomorrow and of course you will then see it on GMAD. 7:56, don’t ask me why..

Album Sales: Week Ending 9/26


Here are the numbers for the past week. A few things to take note up: Eminem is still moving along just fine as you can see; The Roots and John Legend collaboration project known as Wake Up was the highest debut selling 63K copies; B.o.B. is making his way to gold so if you have not bought his album (I actually have) go get it and support one of the most innovative men in hip-hop.

Mac Miller + Smoke DZA in the Studio


Mac and Smoke DZA hard at work in the studio working on some new material. Big K.I.R.T. is on the boards. Go see these fellas in concert, more info here.

G.O.O.D. Friday canceled this week


I have taken the liberty of making this a featured post on the basis of how huge it is.


Read the pictures. No G.O.O.D. Friday this week. We are another blog to blame just like the long list of the rest of blogs that posted his song “Lost In The World.” I put that post in the trash, where I hope it remains. Everyone and their grandma has heard the song and downloaded it by now. To the hackers, thanks for sharing the songs, but it’s not cool that you leaked a song of an artist that has been so generous with us the last several weeks giving us good new music every Friday. I hate unfinished songs. Leaking unfinished songs is not cool. The song is always much better in its final cd quality form. And to those that have to tag the song with such shouting and nonsense, go jump off a cliff. I’m as excited to hear a new song before it comes out like the next person, but because of these leaks, we lost a new song directly from Kanye this week. We’re lucky it’s just this week, though. Hopefully, Kanye will still release as many G.O.O.D. Friday songs as he intended.



Despite all the sadness Kanye has about the leaks, he still manages to work hard to provide his fans with his talents:


I’m in the studio or editing suite every night to 3am finishing the film and the album or practicing for my SNL performance… We’ve got 4 engineers mixing the album to finish it as soon as possible.


Please don’t ruin it for the rest of us. Quit hacking emails. We all lose when that happens. This is for all the douchebags!

‘Deuces’ Remix Line-Up Announced


Earlier tonight, via UStream, Chris Brown revealed the line-up for the up-coming Deuces remix and needless to say I’m slightly frightened. To start, Rick Ross was supposed to be on the remix, but was scratched. Okay, first up is T.I. which I am unsure of about because he’s going to jail any moment. Next up, Fabolous adds some east coast appeal, and from here is gets crazy. Drake, Andre 3000, and Kanye round of the list. Let’s Review.

Kanye’s Album + ‘G.O.O.D Fridays’ Update

What’z poppin!


I hope that you all are well and as always, thank you thank you thank you for the endless love and support. I think by the time you all read this I’ll be 28 years old… feeling ancient in this b#tch! On that note, I do encourage you young people to enjoy your youth. And for the old heads like me, enjoy your life. Everyday!


As for me, I’m good. Awaiting freedom patiently. People often ask does the days feel longer now that the time is getting shorter… I say that there’s 24 hours in everyday. But honestly, I can’t fxckin’ wait! Sorry. Anyway, I’m still playing UNO. Still doing pushups and such, by the way, please don’t expect me to come out looking any different. I’m the same little ‘ol me. Also, I’ve been trying to get as much rest as I can because I know I won’t when I’m out of here. Wait, Aaliyah’s “Let Me Know” just came on the radio! “At your best, you are love”… and I try to always be at my best, for you.


I only listen to slow jams and ESPN. Shoutout to Keith Stewart and Dr. Bob Lee on WBLS, and Lenny Green on KISSfm. That’s all I listen to, other than sports. Oh and if you haven’t heard the new song by Eric Benet, “Sometimes I Cry”, please stop what you’re doing and check it out. Well, after you finish reading this. It’s the best song I’ve heard since Maxwell’s “Woman’s Worth”. It’s for grown folk. I actually listen to the radio all day waiting for that song. Anyway, so back to my fans, you are the best in the world. When reading those letters, you never cease to amaze me with your love. I am forever grateful.


So my kids are perfect. I miss them like crazy! Reginaé, you are the angel of my life. Kam, you are amazing. Neal, you are my little wonderful meatball. And Lil Tunechi Jr., you are so me. City, I am so you! I love my family and I thank them for the support during this time. It’s almost over. To my YMCM family, you are the fxckin’ best! Uhh Nik, I am jealous of you and Drizzy, but it’s cool! Ha ha. I miss you all and keep killin’ ‘em. I love y’all.


To everyone who’s come to visit me. I thank you for that, graciously. It means a lot. Well I’ll end this letter but never my love. Speaking of love… Mr. Chris Kyle, will you marry Ms. Ashalee Albarr??? Now that was cool. Well I hope y’all got my new album ‘I Am Not A Human Being’. It’s great, like every one of you. Peace.


P.S. … you’re mines.

Gilbere Forte – 1st Floor (ft. Freelance Whales) [Video + Mp3]


Same Amazing Song, New Amazing Video


I first posted this song in July and posted it as a “MUST DOWNLOAD TRACK”, and trust me, it was well received. When I saw this brand new video by Gilbere my first reaction was chills. This music video, along with the song, both leave you with a nice indie feeling behind it all. When this was first posted it had a 5 star rating with 100+ votes and 2000+ downloads in the first week, so be sure to download this. If this is what Los Angeles is like, please take me there. Oh, and by the way, it’s produced by a member of Passion Pit, so you know it’s going to be good. Props to Sunset In The Rearview for this one.

Dolly Parton – Joleen (Robotic Pirate Monkey Remix)


Nice Electro Remix


I admit, I am not that big into dubstep yet, but it is slowly growing on me.  I am not sure if this will qualify as dubstep, or Drum and Bass, or a ‘Pretty Lights’-like remix… or maybe a blend of all those genres but it is something I am really enjoying.  Don’t shy away with the title saying it is a Dolly Parton remix, because all you get is about a 5 second clip looped and mixed into the song.  I really love the beat, how it changes pace and feel all throughout the song and also really enjoy how they bring the Dolly P hook into it.  I fell in love with this song in my car, so maybe that is where you need to experience it to get the full enjoyment that I do, ha.  Enjoy!

Incomparable Shakespeare & Jon Solo – Shades of Honeydew


Relaxing. Chill. Perfect.


This is an amazing track. We have posted a lot of Incomparable Shakespeare in the past but this is one of my favorites. I found it at PnP so I’ll let them do the talking


Incomparable Shakespeare has been working on a project with musician/singer/songwriter Jon Solo (the group name will be MIX MSSG.) A lot of times when hip-hop artists link up with singer/songwriters, the singer/songwriter gets molded to fit in the box of “the guy on the chorus”. Shakespeare and Jon Solo are heading in a much more collaborative direction, often blurring the boundaries and stepping into some new, very promising territory. If this is a sign of things to come, we have reason to be excited. Very cool sound.

Johnny Astro – What Do We Do By


Nice mix of genres


Johnny Astro sent a couple blogs the same email about featuring his song, wondering if we took music submissions. Well, I checked out the song, and it’s pretty good. It mixes rap and electronic R&B to make something catchy and fun to listen to. Check Johnny out on facebook and twitter.


My name is Johnny Astro . I am a Rapper / Producer / Singer / Songwriter / etc… You name it I do it. I started working on music at the age of 13. I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina but raised in Arlington TX. I am proably one of the most diverse artist you ‘ve heard in a long time. My music scratches the foundation of all musical genres.

Nice New Kanye


I’ll start off by saying thanks to YourAudioFix for destroying the song, and of course for leaking it. Starts off really, REALLY slow but before you know it Kanye is going in. I assume it’s off the new album. Early G.O.O.D. Friday leak? Enjoy..

President Obama Listens to Weezy F.


In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, President Obama elaborated on the news that he likes a little Jay-Z in music diet. Let’s just say his hip-hop taste has expanded..


What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?


My iPod now has about 2,000 songs, and it is a source of great pleasure to me. I am probably still more heavily weighted toward the music of my childhood than I am the new stuff. There’s still a lot of Stevie Wonder, a lot of Bob Dylan, a lot of Rolling Stones, a lot of R&B, a lot of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Those are the old standards.


A lot of classical music. I’m not a big opera buff in terms of going to opera, but there are days where Maria Callas is exactly what I need.


Thanks to Reggie [Love, the president's personal aide], my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days.

Kanye West ft. Pusha T – Runaway (Tois de Noise Vocal Sample Edit)


The Finished Product


Well, the first “CDQ” version of this track left me a little disappointed. After waiting two painful hours filled with horrible jokes by Chelsea Handler for Ye’s performance at the VMA’s this year, I was left with my jaw on the floor and the urge to immediately download the song “Runaway”. A day later that track came out, but without the sampling… two and a half weeks later, the finished studio mastered track comes out with the finish product sounding perfect. Enjoy the track how it’s supposed to be enjoyed now!

Sam Adams ft. G. Curtis – Still I Rise (Official Video)

Newest Sam Adams official music video


Here’s one of the songs Sam added to his music collection on iTunes to turn his Boston’s Boy EP into an LP. G. Curtis has a great voice and a little pop-hop on that on that from Sam Adams sound pretty good. I thought I would end the night with a couple videos, so here’s the first. The next will be good, too. Grab Boston’s Boy on iTunes below.

Chiddy Bang – Chiddy’s Freestyle (Video)

Chiddy Bang is always good


The video features “Pro’s Freestyle 1.0″ and then there’s a pause leading into a bonus freestyle. This video was released a few weeks ago, but I just forgot to post it until tonight. Chiddy Bang is one of our favorite groups (well, they are on my top five artists list right now), so I thought this would be great for a post. Click the link below to buy the EP with 4 songs below.

Shad – Rose Garden Remix ft. Donwill & Von Pea of Tanya Morgan


Great New Shad Remix


Spotted at Potholes…



Shad’s promotional team is making sure that at least all of the ‘net is damn well aware that his fantastic TSOL record is dropping in the U.S. soon. We posted last month that he’s hitting the road with fellow Canadian hip-hop act k-os and just last week he dropped off the stylish video for “We, Myself & I.”


And today we have a remix to what might be the album’s best track, “Rose Garden,” which also has a video out there. Gone is Shad’s epic opening verse — a personal favorite — and in its place is the first guest feature. Von Pea, of Tanya Morgan, sounds right at home on the soulful, uplifting production and hits his stride about halfway through before giving way to the hook. He’s followed by Shad, who drops a brand new verse littered with inspiring lines and witty punch lines — “I don’t want to hear no whinin’ unless CeCe sings.” Pea’s Tanya Morgan-cohort Donwill shows he’s no slouch either as he rounds out the track with hard-hitting bars and plenty of attitude.


Rappers, take note: This is how you make a remix. Listen below. TSOL drops Oct. 5.

Dr. Dre Speaks about ‘Detox’ and ‘Under Pressure’ Leak


Okay he doesn’t directly say what leak he is talking about but I’m going to assume is the Jay and Dre collabo known as ‘Under Pressure.’ So Detox is on the way… Whatever Dr. Dre, no one believes you anymore.

FowL – Yours Truly


New Fowl


Here is the latest track from the young man known as FowL. He’s been a GMAD favorite for some time now and he’s now making his mark in the game. Some tough rap from the young man who is showing real growth and talent. Enjoy..

In the dumbest one-sided rap battle in history Nick Cannon, who has already gone after Eminem, now has challenged him to a boxing match. I know Eminem got to your girl first and doesn’t really speak too kindly of her but enjoy what you have. I mean look at what Nick Cannon should be focused on….



And it you didn’t think this was serious head on over to the Facebook page Nick created…

Fortune Family – My Energy (Video & MP3)


New song and video from Fortune Family


A sweet beat and dope rhymes. Fortune Family hits us once more with a hot song, with a lot of name dropping like Nicki Minaj, Manu Ginobli, Tim Hightower, and David Bowie. They claim to live their life by music, and it seems to be working well for them. Enjoy

KiD CuDi Sentenced


Back from his liquid cocaine (which I didn’t even know existed…) arrest, I’ll let TMZ do the talking…


He pled guilty on Friday to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 7th degree (how many degrees are there?) and was sentenced to two days of community service. He also has to stay out of trouble for the next six months.

Kno – La Petite Mort (Come Die With Me)


Very Chill Hip Hop


So its a gloomy day up here in The Mitten and this acoustic guitar driven hip hop song is the perfect thing to listen to as I lay here after a long day’s work.  cfen returned the favor by sending this track over to me and when I read that it was Kno from Cunninlynguists I knew it would be something I would love.  Ever since I started listening to them back in 2006, they have fulfilled my need for some real good, real true, and real powerful hip-hop, and it looks like Kno’s solo album, ‘Death is Silent’ wont be any different.  Hope you enjoy this song and we will get you guys something more uplifting soon!  ha… ENJOY!

Ben l’Oncle Soul – Seven Nation Army


Smooth Feel, Smooth Cover


Here we have something different then the typical GMAD track. It’s a soul/jazz cover of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army”. Even if you don’t know the original version of the track, the memorable bass line is something that everyone has heard and hummed along to. Ben does a great job with this cover adding a sick new twist to it. Enjoy!

Akon & Matisse – Better Than Her (CDQ)


Another club banger from Akon


Akon is on his game lately. I like that he has been trying to do more party tracks lately. Guetta and him were working some magic together and now he comes out with this one. It’s only Monday, but have a little fun now and play it more during the week and weekend. Shouts to Haas again on the tip. Schramm posted the unfinished version last month, so here’s the CDQ as I’m sure you’d like.

Tayyib Ali – I Ain’t Scared


He hasn’t changed and he’s not scared


Tayyib is finally famous and gracing us with music from his mixtape, which should drop eventually. His flow is always on point, and he raps over a great beat most of the time, so he is easy to listen to. He has a lot of talent and has been featured on here enough that you should recognize his skills. Enjoy this one and have a good day of classes. Mondays are tough, but you’ll pull through it. I hope you guys enjoy the new site.

2AM Club – Worry About You (Xaphoon Jones Remix)


New Xaphoon Jones remix


Just got the tip from Haas a little bit ago to put this up. At first, we we’rent sure if this was new, but then I guess we thought that because he remixed 2AM Club’s “Nobody’s In Love” months ago, which you can find on the site, as well. Well yeah, another dope Xaphoon Jones remix with a great beat. 2AM Club and Chiddy Bang are great together and I really hope to get a CDQ of their ‘Hurricane” collab some time soon. Tell me Xaphoon isn’t in your top five favorite producers right now.

Kanye West – So Appalled ft. Jay-Z, RZA, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & CyHi Da Prynce


New Kanye Good Friday


This is a chill one and it’s better than some of the past Good Friday songs. “So Appalled” released unfinished in November, but now we have a full version with quite a few features, including Jay-Z once again. My favorite Good Friday song is “Good Friday” but this is pretty good too. Enjoy tonight and stay safe.

Huey Mack – Live It Up (Passion Pit sample)


Live it up sleepyhead – drink it up


Here’s the new Huey Mack. He goes in over Passion Pit’s “Sleepyhead” and nails it. “I don’t worry about tomorrow till the night ends.” It was produced by Huey Mack and Big Jerm. It’s a fun track that I expect you to be playing tonight at a party, while grinding quite a bit.

More NEW I Am Not a Human Being


Well, sadly this is just a radio rip, but it’s definitely back to the old Weezy. HUGE shoutout to Mikey Vuitton for this one. I personally can’t wait to hear what Wayne has in store for this upcoming release. Although this song is just a small taste, he’s definitely headed towards a better place compared to Rebirth.

Olu released two new songs yesterday. I just posted one, and here’s the other, which is a hot track.

I’ll give you another chance – become a fan of Olu on facebook now! Any other artist he reminds you of? Either way, Olu has been doing some good work. XXL 2011 freshmen material?

Grab everything by Olu and enjoy it. Olu does it big.

Olu’s blowing up


Yeah, it’s a remix to a Soulja Boy song, but you and I both know that Olu has a ton of talent, so he should be able to blow us away on this song. Well, the song turned out really well. It’s a slow song with an ill beat. Become a fan of Olu because dude has mad talent. We’ve been on bringing you his new music regularly because he’s been releasing really good music a lot.

Norwegian Recycling – Miracles


New Norwegian Recycling


So Mr. Norwegian Recycling was nice enough to Email us with the release fo his latest mash-up, this one titled Miracles and doesn’t disappoint. Has he pointed out, this song has a very ‘dj earworm’ feel to it as he puts 15 songs over the instrumental from Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars. It’s a very simple concept that is a little different than his past Mixtapes where he changed up the beats, but the lyrics are picked out and blended together so nicely its very entertaining to listen to. Watch the video to see where he gets all the audio clips, read more to see the full list, and DL to listen whenever you want! ENJOY!

Viva La Hova [Mixtape] (Remastered, Expanded, No DJ)


New Viva La Hova


This tape dropped last year and if you don’t have it you have REALLY REALLY been missing out. This is arguably one of the best mixtapes of all time. Production from Mick Boogie, Terry Urban, 6th Sense, 9th Wonder, and CJ Luzi to name a few. No DJs on here as well as two more decent tracks. Enjoy..


Mick Boogie…


As the weather gets colder and summertime fades away, it seemed like a perfect time to re-release a project that can only be described as ambient cold weather music. “Terry and I were planning on re-releasing it in December anyways, just because everywhere we go, people ask us about it,” said Mick Boogie. “After Jay-Z and Coldplay announced their big New Years Eve plans, including performing together integrating their songs… and about a million people emailed us… we decided to just drop the re-release now.

Lil Wayne feat. Nicki Minaj, Jae Millz, Gudda Gudda, Lil Twist & Lil Chuckee – YM Salute


Two More INAHB Leaks


It is Lil Wayne were talking about here so did anyone really expect his album not to leak? I will give it to the people who are getting their hands on the records because they are doing a great job of annoying us with the tags. Luckily, ‘YM Salute,’ has no tags; however, you have to be pained by versus from Millz, Gudda, and the embarrassing Nicki Minaj before one from the ‘Commander in Chief’. There’s no mention of who’s on the hook but I’m pretty sure it’s Shanell. Only other piece of important info is YM does not have a unique beat here, thanks Jeezy. Enjoy…

Bonus: This one may have tags but it’s way better. Don’t let the Nicki feature scare you, she’s only on the hook. Three great great versus from Michael Carter Jr. here. Enjoy this gem..
