Awaiting their debut album releasing later next month, Chiddy Bang has always been looking for the good life, and with co-producer Pharrell on board on their latest track, they have definitely found it. While Chiddy Bang’s latest track The Good Life has a very simplistic and soulful beat to it Proto’s laid back rhymes really come through.
The Preview, Chiddy Bang’s debut album is set to release October 11th 2010.

Runnin’ is a song performed by The Pharcyde and produced by Jay Dee. It was released as the first single from The Pharcyde’s second album Labcabincalifornia in 1995. As indieshuffle.com reports production duo The Philippians are taking some of the best elements of the original song and drawing them out to develop a sonically pleasing piece of music that can appeal to even the most skeptical hip-hop critics.

![Kanye West Monster f Jay Z Rick Ross Nicki Minaj Bon Iver Review [Hip/Hop] Kanye West feat. Jay Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj Monster](http://www.themusicninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Kanye-West-Monster-f-Jay-Z-Rick-Ross-Nicki-Minaj-Bon-Iver-Review.jpg "Kanye West Monster (f Jay Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver) Review")
Monster is a lot to take in at once. Jam packed with an indie-folk singer and four rappers competing for your attention; it can come off as a little unfocused. It isn’t a bad track. West has been making beats for more than a decade and his production is ever improving. The problem is that Kanye is his own stiffest competition and Monster doesn’t rank among his best. It’s a great beat, and it’s cool to see Kanye reach outside of the box and get Bon Iver on a track.
Monster works out great as a mixtape banger to satisfy the blogosphere while the rest of us wait on Kanye to release his new album, as well as his confirmed EP with Jay-Z.

One of the best singles from 2010, Cee-Lo Green‘s Fuck You finally got a lot more attitude with the release of the official music video today. A charming song that explores the emotions that comes with love and jealousy narrated by a character that is forced to come to the realization that the girl he wants is just not worth his time.

Thoughts by Crystal Castles is essentially a rejigging of Empathy (a Crystal Castles song) by Audiodax, a relatively small production duo.
The bad news is the sample is essentially four lifted bars from Empathy slowed down with very little added. The good news is the rap on top of the beat doesn’t hold anything back. It takes a track meant for hipsters (sorry New York Times, I’ve got to use that word), gives it some weight and reinvents it as a hip hop track.
Sampling a relatively well-known band is a great way to get attention and I look forward to hearing some more original Audiodax, where they can shine on their own.

Finally decided to post this awesome remix of Kanye West’s Power. While The Music Ninja and Kanye do not always see eye to eye, once you sprinkle a bit of Swizz Beats into the mix, its hard not to post it. Enjoy

![Kristoff Krane [Hip/Hop] Kristoff Krane Work (Ft. Slug)](http://www.themusicninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Kristoff-Krane.jpg "Kristoff-Krane")
Kristoff Krane is a smaller name in hip-hop, having been a member of a handful of groups in and around Minneapolis. But he’s certainly a man who has paid his dues, touring his mid-western behind off since released his first solo album in 2008. In 2010 he’s released two albums: “Picking Flowers Next To Roadkill” and “Hunting For Father”.
Lacking any kind of major star power, “Work” succeeds on its own merit. Strange Matter produced an incredibly clear, bumping beat that acts perfectly as a canvas to Krane’s lyrical musings on labour. Guest emcee Slug (from Minneapolis group Atmosphere) contributes positively to the track as well. I haven’t checked out the rest of his albums yet, but this track makes me want to.
