Here's Reflection Eternal's The Re:Union mixtape which promises to be full of dope tracks.  Big shout out to Statik Selektah for sending the project my way!

Here's a new video from Crime Mob's Diamond.  Keep an eye out for her solo project, The Black Barbie (I'm waiting to hear Nicki Minaj's thoughts on the title)!

10 Emerging Artists To Watch in 2010

Now that 2009 is coming to an end, here are ten emerging artists who are on pace to greatly enhance their careers during the new year.  I compiled this list by looking at artists who had impressive runs in 2009 and are entering into 2010 with a great deal of buzz and anticipation around future projects.

Despite a number of artists falling short of their goal to give fans an extra present on December 25th, The Cool Kids delivered their Merry Christmas EP.

Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks recorded the EP's four tracks in ...

Mistah F.A.B. reflects on his career and life with "It's Been A While."  The track samples Staind's song of the same name.

Maino kills his "Get 'Em Tiger" track, which obviously focuses on men who can't be faithful to one woman.  Big shout out to TheColleagues, TigerWoods, and everyone who helped to make this song!

Here's the much anticipated annual Rap Up done by Skillz.  These are always a great listen as he sums up the year inserting his opinion on various occurrences in hip hop music and culture.  I can't wait to see a video that coincides with the lyrics! Download the CDQ version here.
