Hot Songs: J.Cole – “Premeditated Murder” & Royce Da 5′9″ – “Walking In The Rain”
J.Cole – “Premeditated Murder”
Download – “Premeditated Murder.”
J.Cole self-produced this latest leak that may or may not be on the upcoming Cole World album.
Here’s J.Cole’s second verse about his near future:
“I’mma kill the game and invite witnesses,
No death penalty, I’m giving life sentences,
Like keep grinding boy, your life contains this one year,
And even when it’s dark out the sun is shining somewhere,
Yea, Look here I paid dues,
My own worst enemy, so fuck it, either way I can’t lose,
808’s so my south niggas feel me,
Light-skinded, so the house niggas feel me,
She catch me creepin out your house, she’a kill me,
Is it worth it for what’s under that blouse,
My heart’ll turn pitch black and cold if I split with my girl,
If I could gift wrap the globe, I’d give you the world,
But do you love me like you used to?
Even though I ain’t that nigga that you’re used to,
Yea, remember back when I was broke you would fix me,
Do you prefer the broke me or the rich me?
The broke me couldn’t buy you meals, not even a value meal,
Now I pay for everything, how you feel?
Mixed feelings cause now all the chicks feelin’ him,
You gotta adapt though I’m never goin back.”
J.Cole’s Cole World will be in stores this fall.
Royce Da 5′9″ – “Walking In The Rain”
Download – “Walking In The Rain.”
Royce Da 5′9” put together this quick freestyle “to get back in the swing of writing.”
“You roll around with a pack of niggas,
You got the click Mel Gibson wish would rape his bitch,
He got the cops around him,
I’m rocking like a crack head momma,
Chicken in the crib, baby in the oven,
That basically means, she laying in some hot surrounds,
Crazy is the govning, shady is the covenant,
Come with some immaculate concepts like nobody birthed me,
I treat the game like Rick James did Charlie Murphie.”
Royce always seems to leave us with a handful of quotables!
If you recognize the beat, Pill went in on this instrumental for “Let Me In” off of his sophomore project, 4075: The Refill.
“I know you hear me clearly,
See me flailing my arms bitches,
This is really silly,
Trying to remain calm with you,
But I might lose control,
Sick of wearing these shoes with holes,
Walkin to Mobile stations, while niggas on cruise control,
Living in different places, addresses change on my daily,
Selling this dope to eat, politicians look at me crazy.”
Artists Tagged
J.Cole
Jermaine Cole
Label: Roc Nation
Hometown: Fayetteville, NC
After hearing J.Cole’s self-produced track, “Lights Please,” Jay-z signed the North Carolina artist to his Roc Nation label. This record deal put a lot of attention on the young emcee, who quickly released one of 2009’s best projects in The Warm Up mixtape. Now, unlike a number of popular southern hip hop artists who release material regularly to stay relevant, J.Cole has managed to keep his buzz alive for a little over a year since releasing that tape. His impressive lyricism even landed him a guest spot on Jay-z’s The Blueprint 3 album, opening the door to nation-wide exposure. J.Cole’s debut album is set to be released in late 2010.
Pill
Tyrone Rivers
Label: Asylum Records
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Pill’s music is refreshing, as he paints a portrait of the streets in a very natural and real way, effectively shaming all the artists who pretend to be from his part of town. The XXL Magazine Freshman turned heads with his debut video for "Trap Goin' Ham," directed by Motion Family, as it graphically portrayed the poverty taking place in Pink City, five minutes away from a police precinct and seven minutes away from the state capital.
So far all of Pill's releases have been named after the various locations in which he grew up. 4180: The Prescription refers back to the Kimberly Court Projects on 4180 Cant Street and 4075: The Refill refers to the address of Pill’s aunt’s house. His next release, hosted by DJ Drama, should be a major turning point in his career as he's sure to be exposed to a wide fan base. Gangsta Grillz 1140: The Overdose is set to drop on June 1st.
