M.anifest: "Get Away (Shafiq Husayn Re-Fix)"

This is a remix (or re-fix) that M.anifest did of a Shafiq Husayn track called "The U.N." It is one of two remixes on his upcoming project The Birds and The Beats (artwork above). The project features those two remixes and 14 additional original pieces from the Ghana-meets-Minneapolis emcee. It will be available for free.99 on M.anifest's birthday, November 20.

Also, M.anifest had some words regarding a nonprofit project dear to his heart:

In return [for the free music] all we ask is for folks to support a cause! To consider making a gift to Young Entrepreneurs Africa (YEA), a nonprofit empowering underprivileged youth in the motherland to turn proverbial lemons into lemonade.

M.anifest will be sharing more information about the organization via his Twitter.

P.O.S.: "Never Better" (Music Video)

MTV just premiered P.O.S.'s music video for "Never Better." Now that he's released something like 5 of the 6 he made (I could be wrong there), do you have any favorites?

Lupe Fiasco: "Say Something Freestyle"

If anyone had any doubts that Lupe is one of the best doing it right now, those should be quelled after his recent barrage of freestyles.

Spike Jonze Bitch Slaps Kanye West (Video)

Kanye and Jonze's collaborative shirt film, "We Were Once a Fairytale," was just released to iTunes. In light of this, Jonze released some interesting behind the scenes footage of them filming the piece.

M.anifest: "Playback Music"

Rocking over the Justus League's "Maybach Music," M.anifest originally intended for this to appear on his upcoming mixtape, The Birds and the Beats. However, the project evolved into a full album, complete with entirely original material, and will be released for free on November 20. So, M.anifest graciously sent this my way. And he also informed me that the A.R.M. album is coming sooner than you think!

P.O.S.: MTV Halloween Horrors Interview (Video)

P.O.S. recounts with MTV one of his most memorable Halloweens (the infamous Twin Cities blizzard Halloween). I remember going out that same year! I was a ghost and blended right in with the snow. Good times. Now, we just drink and riot on State Street in Madison. Things done changed.

Brother Ali: "Truth Is" (Live in Paris)

Even though I personally experienced an Ali show (with Atmosphere, nonetheless) in London, it never ceases to amaze me how strong of a following the Rhymesayers star has in Europe. Here is video of Ali performing "Truth Is" in Paris. This video player only has this one song embedded, but if you feel the urge to see his entire set, hit up Grandcrew to watch the full thing.

Lupe Fiasco: "All The Way Turnt Up Freestyle"

Lupe is really putting out a lot of material lately. That means one of two things: 1) Lasers is upcoming, or 2) He really felt genuinely snubbed about not making the MTV Hottest Emcees list. Either way, we're the real winners here.

Trey Lane: "All Things Considered ft. Toki Wright" + "Celebrate"

Here are two tracks off of Trey Lane's upcoming album, All Things Considered, set to be released on December 8. The title track features Rhymesayer Toki Wright, while "Celebrate" boasts guest spots from Bru'Tal and V The Noble One. I'm not sure who produced these tracks, but whoever handled "All Things Considered" flipped it nicely.

Mac Lethal: "Punk Bitch Clown Freestyle" + "Kinda Like A Big Wheel ft. Prof & St. Paul Slim"

New Mac Lethal is always a pleasant surprise, and he really puts it down over a couple of mainstream beats. Nice to see Mac hooking up with Prof and St. Paul Slim, too. Stophouse! Black Clover Records! Both of these tracks were originally posted at 2DopeBoyz.

Rhymefest: "Letter"

Presumably off 'Fest's much delayed El Che. Who knows what's happening with that project, wasn't it supposed to be released in 2008 at one point? Let's hope it sees the light of day sometime.

Mike Posner: One Foot Out The Door (Mixtape)

Time to start playing catch-up. I feel like I'm behind with everything in my life: school, the blog, etc.

I know plenty of people who really like Mike Posner, so I figure, why not? Here's his latest mixtape, available for free download. Download link snatched from those Two Dope Boys.
