Here’s a new interview with Lil Wayne for ya’ll to feast upon. It’s not bad, actually – but what’s with that hat…?

He’s just oozing swagger.

Damn, how fast are these tracks leaking? The latest is this track right here, Tell Everybody That You Know, featuring Lil Wayne. It’s a solid track; honestly, I think this album is gonna be worth a purchase.

Link here.

Props to NahRight.

Another new track from Kanye’s fourth studio album, 808’s & Heartbreak, has just hit the web. The production on this joint is crazy and there is a nice feature from Young Jeezy; this is probably one of the strongest tracks I’ve heard out of the leaked tracks so far.

Amazing – Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy

I really am looking forward to this album, even though it’s not hip-hop, I can’t lie… This shit is hot; 808’s & Heartbreak is dropping on November 24th.

Jack some of Ye’s swag…

This is probably the most anticipated track off of Luda’s upcoming album Theater of the Mind. The track is produced by Wyatt “Wyldfyer” Coleman and not DJ Premier as previously speculated. Anyway, check it out below; it sounds like an instant classic.

Theater of the Mind is due to drop on November 24th.

Over the past two weeks quite a lot of new material featuring Brooklyn emcee Joell Ortiz has found its way on to the interwebs, and they all have something in common; Joell fucking destroys every track. I honestly get the chills when I listen to some of this dudes verses, and that is a rare occurance in the current generation of hip-hop. He is insane. No, really. He’s fucking crazy. I don’t understand how Dre could let Joell go. 

Let me just get this shit out of the way now… Joell Ortiz is one of the most talented rappers around; if not the best. Hell fucking yes, I went there. If you think I’m going too far, take your head out of Hov’s ass for a moment and LISTEN to this dudes lyrics. If you think anyone out there at the moment competes (yeah yeah, I know Nas comes close), then his lyrics are obviously going way over your head. Listen to his verses, listen to them again, and again. I guarntee you’ll think “damn, sick line” more than once. 

I’m just really glad hip-hop has Joell at the moment – he is exactly what we need. Anyway, listen to some of the recent leaks below and let me know what you think.

I Can Be President – Novel Ft. Joell Ortiz

Onslaught – Slaughterhouse (Joe Budden, Royce, Crooked I & Joell Ortiz)

Slaughterhouse – Slaughterhouse (Joe Budden, Royce, Crooked I & Joell Ortiz)

Crazy.

Kanye’s critically acclaimed Glow In The Dark tour kicks off in the UK tomorrow with the first show at London’s O2 Arena. The only confirmed support acts for the UK leg of the tour are Mr Hudson & Santogold, no N.E.R.D or Lupe sadly, though who knows; ‘Ye is full of surprises.

I’ll be at the Manchester show on the 17th November; I’ll report back after, though I’m already positive it’ll be awesome as the last ‘Ye gig I went to was insane (Jigga was there).

Fresh new track from Hova; I had to post this even though I’m mad busy behind the scenes at the moment. Not sure who produced it, though we’re guessing it was ‘Ye. If anyone knows for sure, leave a comment.

Blueprint 3 still has no solid release date, but we’re looking at December ‘08 – Feb ‘09.

We have been working on this for quite a while now and seven designs later we have came up with something we’re rather happy with. We decided to go with functionality over form for our new site and added a touch more professionalism to the mix in the process — the result is a sharp, clean and elegant solution. We based the new design off of the highly customizable Thesis WordPress framework, and we think we are finally ready to take Urban Lookout to the next level after almost 11 months of being live.

We are going to be making quite a lot of tweaks to things over the next few days, so more change is coming; and not just because Obama is here!
