3 Albums I'm Looking Forward To


1. N*E*R*D* - Seeing Sounds
The third album released by the Virginia Beach three piece goes by the name of Seeing Sounds, after initially hearing the band would be no more a few years back hearing the news that they were coming back with a new album was great news. Although there second album fly or die was not as original as the first release it was still unlike anything else on the market. I'm Hoping the new album can have a similar but updated sound as the first.
Pharrell says of the album "The goal is to be energetic and to be emotional — if not both on each song, then at least one of the two."
The album is scheduled to drop in June 08 and the first single 'Everybody Nose' has been released for listeners to here, you can listen here


2. Saigon - The Greatest Story Never Told
I first heard of Saigon whilst watching the TV programme Entourage and initially thought he was just a made up rapper. But i then heard some songs from one of his mixtapes and was quickly impressed. His debut album 'The Greatest Story Never Told' is set for release sometime this year (nobody seems to know when!). Although we have been told it isn't gonna be released at all at times the release date should be sooner rather than later. The album has been produced mainly by New York producer Just Blaze so should have some good production on it.
The first song released for the public was Come on Baby, you can view the remix ft Jay-Z and Swizz Beats here


3. Common - The Believer
The Believer is the 8th studio album due to be released by Chicago rapper Common. I first heard Common on his album 'BE' and was hooked from that instant, his delivery is second to none and you can tell a Common track a mile of. The album is said to be produced by his former collaborator NO I.D. and also with long time friend and collaborator Kanye who has had production credits on his last two albums. The track listing has been released and the album is slated for a November 08 release. Common has also stated that six tracks from the album will be released on an EP called 'Invincible Summer' in July.
No tracks have been released from the album as of yet but you can listen to the song 'Forever Begins' here (from his last album Finding Forever). If you like that buy the album, its a classic!

Movie Trailers

Bit of topic. Saw two new movie trailers today for Harold and Kumar 2 and Street Kings, here they are;


The 2nd movie of the series features Harold & Kumar trying to escape Guantanamo Bay after being wrongly accused of being terrorists. The first film was a pure comedy classic!


Don't know too much about this film except it features the legend Common, The Game and Keanu Reeves. Trailer looks pretty damn good!

Get Cape Wear Cape Fly - New Album



Got his new album today; Searching for the hows and whys. I have to say although pretty similar to his debut i was still pretty impressed. The tracks the stand out to me are;
I could build you a tower, The children are the future and Better Things ft Kate Nash
The first is about people turning there back and being afraid to do anything in the world, 
it features samples from reports of the Virgina Tech Massacre. Truly moving song.

If you want to listen to some tracks go to his myspace; www.myspace.com/getcapewearcapefly
and if you like that buy the album of Amazon!
