First song is “Hard Days Night” by a new hip hop crew called The Knuxwhose debut album, Remind Me In Three Days, comes out at the end of this month. The Knux are 2 brothers, Al Millio and Krispy, and they produce the music themselves and play all of the instrumentation. I first heard their most popular track, “Cappuccino” and the remix (both of which you can listen to on their myspace:http://www.myspace.com/theknux) almost a year ago so they have been around for a minute. They rap a lot like Outkast and the beats are reminiscent of great 90’s hip hop acts like The Pharcyde. These guys are legit, we’ll all be hearing a lot more about them in the future.
Second song was released back in May of this year. It’s “Gold And A Pager” from the reigning blogosphere champions of hip hop, The Cool Kids. If you haven’t heard about The Cool Kids then you need to wake up! Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish (both living in Chicago) met through myspace and formed the group around 2005. They didn’t start posting their tracks on myspace and blogs until around 2007 and they didn’t put an album out until the beginning of this year. It’s called The Bake Saleso check it out if you’re into this track…

Third song is a mash up- Mobb Deep VS Ray Parker Jr. It was put together by DJ Ayres and it’s pretty hilarious. IT’s called “Ghostbusters Got It Twisted”
