Weekend Jam: Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Straighten It Out

The Weekend Jam is a little late this week but well worth it if you ask me. One of the best producers of all time (in my humble opinion) Pete Rock is back on the scene and I couldn't be more excited. Recently signing with Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music Label, the Chocolate Boy Wonder has been on a tear lately making some incredible beats for the likes of Raekwon, Red Cafe, Talib Kweli, Jay-Z, and of course Kanye.

I felt it was only right to take it back to 1992 and one of Pete's best, "Straighten It Out". If you haven't yet downloaded "The Joy" produced by Pete Rock featuring Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Kid Cudi, get it here.

Weekend Jam: Black Star - K.O.S. (Determination)

Considering we just saw Kweli in concert a few weeks back and Mos signing with GOOD Music last month, it only makes sense to take it back to where these two guys began. The Black Star album is without a doubt a hip hop classic and one of the best of 1998. One of my favorites from the album "K.O.S. (Determination)" perfectly describes my mood right now. Black Star keep shining!
