"I’m Not Your Clone, But I AM Still Ahead of You"

In case you didn't get my first warning, take heed because the @NEWBOYZ new album Too Cool to Care is as tough front to back as the @imadeitinc beat below. It has the ferocity of this Eminem track and the guitar riff sample has the same feel as this Slaughterhouse track.

To be honest, it was a toss up between Tough Kids (below) and the @KANEBEATZ produced Zonin for my favorite track on the album. I literally had to flip a coin on what to post and since DJ Khalil beats are a little more few and far between than seeing Kane in the building, I went with this one. Can't go wrong with either though as Kane's beat was just as dope and would make a catchy single choice with the repeatability and attitude the lyrics give off.

Shouts out to Sabi of @THEBANGZ for killin' the hook too. The track should make some sort of all underrated and under-appreciated list. That is after it makes it onto your playlist...go and cop the whole disc below, I'm tellin' you, one of the more overlooked efforts this year so far...#Truth

"You’re a Dime, So Beautiful Top of the Line, So Unusual"

I'll admit, after the first @NEWBOYZ album, Skinny Jeanz And a Mic, I took notice of them, but wouldn't have taken the time to hype them much. I'll admit, their dance floor anthem You're a Jerk had everyone poppin' and lockin', but as a whole it was more of a novelty Hip Hop album.

Fast forward now to 2011, where their second release Too Cool To Care is about to drop in a few days on May 17th. Now this album is somethin' to write home about. With production coming from all angles with two @KANEBEATZ tracks, one from @imadeitinc, @DIPLO, @BEIMAEJOR, and 3 tracks by @thecataracs, the disk is oozing with nothin' but top notch beats. Maybe it's because they match up best stylistically, but The Cataracs tracks on their album stand out the most to me. Well hold up, the track with @BIGSEAN amd Kane Beatz is hands down the top track, but it seems like @THALEGACY and @IMBENJBRO shine the most when David and Niles are behind the boards.

Case in point the track below, where they narrowly avoid insult in letting the ladies know that they look better with the lights off. Having put all the Rihanna drama (mostly) behind him, you can chalk this up to another successful @CHRISBROWN hook as he's now running away with the title of Most Sought Out Feature for 2011.
