Meet Sunshine. A fun loving, wild girl who takes no bull. But don’t worry, fellas…she’s a lover, not a fighter. Check her out getting busy in the gym with some bikini boxing. Let’s get ready to rumble…

Los Angeles hip-hop representers and lifelong B-Boys, The People Under The Stairs, are the Hip Hop Official Artist of the Week. They have a brand new album dropping Tues titled Fun DMC. Thes One and Double K came through the HHO Lounge to talk about their funky new party rocking album.
As an added bonus, check out these other clips. In the first one, Thes and Double K talk about how they met. In the second one, they talk about their loyal fans like you.

The homie Shawn Jackson and Newman from Giant Panda are New Jack Hustle. Get it? Newman and Jackson. New-Jack. Yeah, I know you can see it. Newman on the beats, Jackson on the raps.
This is their first video. Epileptics prone to seizures should not watch this. If you don’t fall into that category, then you should watch. And watch now.

New joint from the political and conscience side of David Banner. I like that he isn’t afraid to speak his mind.

I’m feeling this video, it kind of has a Scenario steez to it, which one of my favorite all time videos. I’ve always said if I ever become a rapper, I would re-create that video shot for shot. I have to say, I’ve seen some pretty above-decent music videos lately, it seems like the resurgence in hip-hop music as of late isn’t limited to just the music. G’yeah.
Aside from the video, the song is dope as well. Black Milk produced the track and it’s a good one. Torae is an emcee from Brooklyn, and his album Daily Conversation is in stores now, featuring produced from DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, Khrysis, and aforementioned Black Milk. Give it a spin…

I usually don’t give in to shameless self promotion, but I’m pretty excited about this (so please excuse the ego trip). Hip Hop Official has been nominated for a Mobile Excellence Award for Best Mobile Music programming. This is the inaugural and industry first, mobile entertainment awards program. The MEA’s recognize all walks of the mobile technology, content and entertainment.
The Awards will take place on Monday, October 27th, 2008 at Digital Hollywood in Santa Monica, California. I’ll keep you posted on whether or not we bring home the gold.
Shout out to everyone who watches, promotes, and enjoys our content. Thank you…

Woah, a D’Angelo spotting! Here is a joint from Q-Tip off his upcoming album, The Renaissance (dropping Nov 4). I might be wrong, but I remember hearing this track a while back, but the mp3 just became available, so go tell your friends.
Above is the official artwork for his new album. I like.

No, Floyd doesn’t rap. He just gives a pep-talk.

…starring Jay-Z, Nas, Andre 300, and Young Jeezy. One of these things is not like the other (sorry Jeezy).
So Lowkey from You Heard That New has confirmed that Jay-Z next and last Def Jam album, Blueprint 3, will be hitting stores on December 2 and Jeezy, Nas and Andre 3000 have already layed verses for Swagger Like Us Pt. 2.
I have a feeling this will be better than the original, and I guarantee you Andre will have the best verse. Then Jay, because there’s no way he’s letting Nas outshine him on his own shit. All i know, is that there better be no auto-tune on this.
