What's good everyone? My bad I didn't get to update the site yesterday...This extended Thanksgiving weekend has been brutal on my liver, lungs, and stomach. But needless to say...everything got capped off proper with a nice party last night with the extended fam at my cousins new crib. Big shout outs to Dave, Paul, Stubs, JT, Mike! I never seen so many Joe Budden fans in the same place at the same time.

Alright...back to the program...here's a few new albums to get you through the weekend. We got "Thisisme Then" which is a best of compilation from Common's early years (see: Pre-Kanye). This is a must have joint for anyone who is a fan or just got into Com since BE/Finding Forever. I'm kinda wondering why his biggest hit "The Light" isn't on here...but it's pretty on point regardless. I also got that new Wyclef joint "The Carnival 2" which features a gazillion of unknown artists. I'm not too big on Wyclef unless he's standing next to Pras & Ms. Hill, so I probably will only check for a few joints. Plus you can check out that new joint by the criminally underrated Cunninlynguists "Dirty Acres". I listened to the advance over the summer and loved every second of it. Shout outs to illie for giving me the heads up that it dropped. If you're a fan of that pure hip hop, do yourself a favor and check it out.Also, by request I'm throwing up the new Mario album, some of you will remember I put the "advance" version up a few months ago, so if you slept you can get the full retail joint below. Other than that I don't have much of anything going on today so expect quite a few more updates...including the next installment of Ego Trip's Best Singles of '89 + '90.
