Day 9

From here on out I've decided to highlight my personal favorite S.O.T.D pick in red.

Black Eyed Peas-Sexy
A sexy track off their Elephunk album. Will.i.Am is really underrated.

Chris Rock-No Sex
This song is dedicated to DJ Grinch aka Tom Brindisi.

K'Naan-If Rap Gets Jealous
K'Naan was born in Somalia and was introduced to hip-hop when his father sent him albums from America. He made his way to the states with his mother and started rapping when his english got better. K'Naan was able to perform at the United Nations' 50th anniversary concert in 1999, held in Geneva, where he used his platform to publicly criticize the United Nations' handling of the Somali crisis in the 1990s. One of the audience members, Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour, was so impressed by his performance and courage that he invited him to contribute to his 2001 album Building Bridges. Now he is featured on the famous web site Song Of The Day! K'Naan drops his album Troubadour on February 24th. All his songs tell a story you've never imagined. Check him out!

Boyce Avenue-Change Your Mind
A band of brothers, literally. Three brothers from Florida with a strong melody and harmony driven rock vide. They've got some great acoustic covers too.

Enur-Calabria 2008
Dance bitch, dance!

Say Anything-Wow I Can Get Sexual Too!
A little bit of phone loving. Got the fever for the flavor in this video.

Slick Rick ft. Outkast-Street Talkin
Used to ride out to this with the orignal crew. G-Dep and Big B. One.

Obie Trice-You Burn
I don't know why Obie got dropped from Shady/Aftermath records. I guess Em and Dre got no time to take away from their albums. Hook is meant for 50, I was waiting for the main beat to drop the whole time, but nonetheless it's a sick song with Led Zeppelin in the background.

Jay-Z-Pass The Roc
An old school freestyle from Jay-Z. A very simple beat that Jay just rips apart.

I clearly went hip-hop crazy today, but that's just my vibe right now. Happy Friday!
