This week I featured the following songs…

SNOOP DOGG “SHUT YOU DOWN” FT. TC’S

[audio:http://angelayee.mystagingwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Shut-You-Down-Snoop-Dogg.mp3]

Reef’s take:

Snoop seems to seamlessly stay current without being considered old school or dated while having been around since the Deep Cover days. Pretty remarkable when you think about it. One thing he does well is embrace changes in style and music while not looking gimmicky and still keep things gangsta at the same time. This new song is proof positive of that.

Callers take:

Callers all were rolling with the D-O-Double Gee on this one

THE DOGG POUND “BLESSIN”

Reef’s take:

More West Coast heat from Daz and Kurupt produced by DJ Hi-Tek. A slick replay of a classic Debarge groove while The Pound serve the warm-up toss for their return.

Callers take:

Callers were not coming out in support of this one so we’ll see what they serve up next

SLAUGHTAHOUSE “ONSLAUGHT” FT. FATMAN SCOOP

Reef’s take:

New heat from the Slaughtahouse crew whose album hits stores 8/11. This one is produced by the homie Emile and definitely knocks. These guys definitely saw a lane of fans who appreciate what they do individually so as the saying goes: “there’s strength in numbers” This underground supergroup is poised to make noise so support and cop the album come Tuesday!!!

Callers take:

There’s a lot of love out there for SH.

LIL SCRAPPY “ADICTED TO MONEY” FT. LUDACRIS

Reef’s take:

Impressive return to the scene for Lil Scrappy who brings along Luda to help represent the “Ay!”

Caller’s take:

Callers were happy to hear new music from Scrappy

THE CLIPSE “EYES ON Me” FT. PHARRELL AND KERI HILSON

Reef’s take:

Play loud and you’ll understand this record. Pharrell conconts an uptempo club crusher made for dancefloors and with a catchy and melodic hook courtesy of Ms. Hilson. While this initially comes off as a danceable club/radio friendly groove Pusha and Malice thug out the verses so there’s a layer of grit underneath the shine

Callers take:

Wasn’t sure how this would register but callers were overwhelmingly in support of the record.
