Kind of a compilation of several beats from Shafiq’s recent album Shafiq En’ A-Free-Ka, primarily the track “Cheeba” feat Bilal. Imagery is lush, funkay and throwback, so bliss out to the five minute-plus video now. Premiered this morning on Okplayer. Look out Bilal’s solo album soon from Plug Research.

Ghostface is back! Not only on Raekwon’s new banger sequel Only Built For Cuban Linx 2 (one of my top albums of the year dead ass), but also on his own solo and self-described “ghetto love” album.
Includes features by the whole R&B family - Raheem Devaughn, John Legend, Fabolous and Estelle - and Pretty Toney rapping all kinds of sweetheart lyrics to his girl(s). The dude is smoov; I suggest following him on Twitter immediately for some real-talk love and sex advice.
For your entertainment, I’ve also included DJ Whoo Kid’s amazing interview, in which Ghostdini touches on the topics of Dream fronting (”it’s a bullshit era”), why he took off the golden hawk and mask and the inspirations for his new album (Kels!) Will have you laughing your ass off all weekend I promise. Last but not least, click here to see Ghost’s sex-chat with Angela Yee on Lip Service, where he fields questions about oral, fidelity and being a Muslim. Bone ’til ya moan Tone. Enjoy!
