![lil wayne 2 [Hip Hop] Lil Wayne Flyin' High With 'No Ceilings'](http://themusicninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/lil_wayne-2.jpg "lil_wayne-")
With his album Rebirth being delayed, Mr Carter took matters into his own hands and will be dropping a mixtape on Halloween (October 31th, 2009).
“I got tired of sitting back. Everybody was making mixtapes. And I could rap too. Once I found myself jumping in my car putting on the radio instead of CDs, that’s when I know I gotta go murder their beat,” – Wayne
AND FINALLY! it has reported that on this mixtape he wont be using any AUTO TUNE. Even though his a genius lyricist, I still have to give him much more respect for dropping the auto tune and going back to his natural vocals.
These tracks for lack of a better word of Sick!! Lil Wayne is able to spit culturally relevant metaphors faster than anyone. With so many people remixing/mashing up his songs, No Ceilings acts as a statement that no one else can remix his songs like Lil Wayne Himself.
UPDATE: Looks like the mixtape got leaked before Halloween, you can download it here
![featuringfeatures2 [Hip Hop][Featuring Features] Drake, Santogold, Lil Wayne, Jay Z, Mr. Hudson](http://themusicninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/featuringfeatures2.jpg "featuringfeatures")
These 2 songs a more mainstreams than most of the music you guys see here but I’ve been listening to them a lot lately.
First it is a song by Drake on his album So Far Gone where he features Santogold and Lil Wayne, quite an unusual mash up but it mixes nicely. My only complaint is that Lil Wayne should lay off the auto tune for a little. I know that has become his style but we are about to go into 2010 now and I hope hip/hop artists start coming back to their natural ways.
Unstoppable (feat Santo Gold and Lil Wayne)
Next song starts of like Cannon in D but it is actually Jay Z feat. Mr. Hudson in a song called Young Forever from the album The Blueprint 3.

![entourage season 6 episode 12 finale soundtrack music12 [Soundtrack] Entourage Season 6 Finale Music (Episode 12 "Give A little bit")](http://themusicninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/entourage-season-6-episode-12-finale-soundtrack-music12.jpg "entourage-season-6-episode-12-finale-soundtrack-music")
Entourage has always been one of my favorite shows, not to mention, I always discover new music every episode that goes by. This one, however, has been slightly difficult to track down which songs were used in their season finale. In the final scenes of the episode, as E is about to get on the plane leaving Sloan behind, the song Lisztomania by Phoenix is playing in the background. The song right after that as the airplane is about to take off is actually a song by Jay Z remixed for the Street Is Watching called “In My Life Time”.
There are 2 more songs I am trying to figure out that hopefully I will be able to post it here. Stay Tuned!

“The Balance” is an unflinching examination of SOS’s personal life as he struggles to maintain his perspective on love & hate.
Mr. SOS – “The Balance” (Produced By Quincey Tones)
It is always great when I see to different genre combine to make sweet sweet love. Kinetics and One Love are another great example to what happens when you combine electronic harmonies and synthesizers with hip/hop bass beats and witty lyricism.
Ever since they met in college, Kinetics, a battle rapper from Harlem, has been offering a distinctive compliment to One Love’s instrumentals, an eclectic reflection of Love’s background as a techno producer and drummer in an indie rock band.

![randommusicfriday2 Random Music Friday [Fresh New Music Edition]](http://themusicninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/randommusicfriday2.jpg "randommusicfriday")
Happy Friday everyone! The weekend is here and as for most of my weekends, random things always end up happing. Whenever I do a Random Music Friday I like to keep it as random as possible with music from all genres and from all eras. However, today will not be the case as I will only post new music. I have been fortunate enough to have artists send me their music to post on the site and it would just be unfair to post old songs with such great talent coming in. Enjoy!
We start off with a colorful experimental/instrumental song. “In Knowing” is a playful synthetic pop tune graced with the sweet and cheerful vocals of lead vocalist Meadow Eliz that along with multi-instrumentalist Chris Clarke, Jo Sorrell in the cello and Justin Grizzof working the guitar and percussions, make up Swimming in Speakers. If you enjoy this song make sure you listen to “Near my Ear” and “Serve Them Well”

We move into a more psychedelic band called Psychedelic Disco Angels from Jersey City. Row Bong is probably the chillest psychedelic song from their their debut album “Credito O No Credito“, its mellowness is contagious reminding me of the slower songs of Mars Volta. Make sure you check out their single “Evil House” that is part of their upcoming album “Digital Power” releasing this fall,

A funky, electronic and sprinkles of pop song gracefully made its way to my inbox titled “Hollywood Sound” from Binary artist LexiconDom. What is particular unique about this track is how well the vocals and lyrics come in to play. The electronic beat is great by itself but once you add the vocals the song become a beautiful electronic masterpiece.

Collider is a new Indie Rock band from San Francisco. They just released their debut album “Down in Saturines”.

How do you make a good hip/hop song sound TEN TIMES BETTER… make sure Ambience, a production team from Sweden, gets to remix it. Seriously, I had not really heard Bobby Valentinos new “Hand On Me” before I heard the remixed version and the comparison is just off the charts. They were able add their own remix without taking away the feel and emotion of the original beat. I hope to hear from these guys a lot more in the future.

First official video from Inverse, off their 2008 release, So Far (The Collection), which was re-released digitally via QN5 Music on July 6th.
This clip was directed by Donlee Brussel (who’s also directed the video for Louis Logic’s Spork Kills project) and was shot guerrilla style in various parts of Los Angeles over two days last winter. The video is currently nominated for rotation at MTVu’s The Freshmen contest this week. Since y’all did such a bangup job with Substantial’s It’s You video last year, Inverse is counting on you show your support! Remember, you can vote as many times as you want!

You are in for a hip/hop ride like never before when you listen to the latest album of one of Canada’s finest and yet most underrated producer/rapper Classified. Right away you can tell his a producer first and rapper second, as the quality and refinement of each beat on every track is to put it simply… freaking dope! He brings an out of the box lyrical approach of storytelling where through a series of tracks prefixed with “Choose Your Own Adventure” he raps the events that happened to him in a normal day, each scenario accompanied by a different beat and style. To describe his style you would have to listen to artists like Jay-Z and Mike Shinoda’s side project Fort Minor.
Each track is submerged in genuine life themes that come through as sincere as he expresses them. Classified is not a higher than life artist, spitting game and bragging about girls, money and fame like most mainstream rappers do. He is about being at par with life and its situations from a grounded and hopeful positive perspective. I’ve been blogging about music and selecting my favorite from albums for a while now and it truly pains me to select just a couple of songs to share from this epic album. We’ll definitely start with the first song I heard from Classified titled “Quit While You’re Ahead” and just to show his range in style I am also posting the slow, mellow, sad and yet motivational song “Inspiration” . “Choose Your Own Adventure 3″ is one of out a 6 part series of track that complete a storytelling adventure.
