    Play Count: Hip-hop on repeat this week

    Posted in The Volume by Jamie Falkowski on May 14th, 2009 at 2:35 am

    playcount5Welcome to Play Count, the Volume’s weekly mix of the best in recent hip-hop. In this edition, new music from Freddie Gibbs, Busta Rhymes, Naledge, Donny Goines and more.

    Click past the jump for commentary.

    Naledge ft. Rus Soul — “Star Struck”
    This Sa-Ra-produced track is the first glimpse of the Kidz in the Hall MC’s upcoming mixtape, Chicago Picasso, hosted by Mick Boogie, RTC and DJ Timbuck 2.

    Oddisee ft. Big Pooh and Black Milk — “Drugs Outside” (remix)
    From the album Mental Liberation. The Justus League producer hooks up with fellow member Big Pooh of Little Brother and Detroit producer-artist Black Milk for this moody remix.

    Busta Rhymes ft. Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, John Legend and Common — “Decisions”
    Three R&B superstars and a guest verse from Common help Busta build a standout single from his long-awaited B.O.M.B.

    Joell Ortiz — “Get Money”
    On May 13, Joell Ortiz and Green Lantern put out Covers the Classics, with the Slaughterhouse MC spitting more than 33 legendary hop-hop instrumentals. On the mixtape, this song is limited to a 50-second sample; here is the full three-minute-plus version over Junior Mafia’s “Get Money.”

    Freddie Gibbs — “Flamboyant Freestyle”
    The Gary, Indiana, MC makes the Big L instrumental all his own. Keep an eye out for his upcoming The Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs, scheduled for a May 19 release.

    Donny Goines ft. Peter Gadar and Outasight — “Sublime”
    Goines has been working hard to distinguish himself among New York’s talent pool and may make his mark with next week’s mixtape release The Breakfast Club.

    Tanya Morgan ft. Trackademicks — “What We Do”
    The Brooklynati trio links up with Fool’s Gold producers Trackademicks for this Web promo track. Download available over at Upper Playground.

    J Dilla ft. Black Thought — “Reality TV”
    Ma Dukes steps in to executive-produce the posthumous release Jay Stay Paid. The album features appearances from Raekwon, Diz Gibran, Lil Fame and more and is built around a radio-show format with Pete Rock as the program director.
