I peeped all of Freddie Gibbs’ mixtape and EP info over at our friends The Smoking Section’s site and thought I’d also enlighten our reader base. If you haven’t heard by now, Gibbs’ next mixtape will be Str8 Killa which will drop next Thursday, July 29th on XXLMag.com. Following that release, he will follow up with the release of the Str8 Killa No Filla EP in stores on August 3rd, with 2 additional tracks that will not be featured on the mixtape and also an iTunes bonus track.  This will be released via Decon Records.

We came on a little in the middle of Gibbs’ run to this date as we got a great interview with him just before the he hit the XXL Magazine’s Top 10 Freshmen of 2010 and we are most proud him today to see his growth and people recognizing him for that. It was also an honor for him to be on our first mixtape Vol. 1 and to drop a record with his name on it. But it still came as a surprise to our name as well as one of our writers  – Justyn Holliday – among his Thanks you on his EP. We definitely thank him for that and hope to continue to watch him be successful in his musical endeavors. (Check out the EP covers and Thanks yous below)

From what I have seen from past Rik Cordero’s music videos is that he just doesn’t make a video but tells a story and he’s continuing that same greatness with The Roots next single to get visuals featuring John Legend. Check out this dope preview…

JaeNice is the most appropriately named MC in LA. Checked his set at an album release party in Hollywood and was following him on Twitter, @MCJaeNice, within minutes. A quick back and forth with him on FaceBook, revealed that JaeNice isn’t into reppin’ this place or that place, “I’m really big on not repping where you’re from, music is a World Movement! I think sometimes we pay too much attention to someone’s zip code, and not enough to their music.” Well said.

So, where’s the music? Get an earful over at jaenice.bandcamp.com. If you’re thirsty for more of what’s on the mind of JaeNice, which you will be, he also keeps a fairly insightful blog, Water, Beer and Golden Grahams.

JaeNice is in the works to drop a mixtape and an album when the timing’s right and hopefully he’ll remember his fans over here at WIMH when he does.

T.I.’s Uncaged album will probably be one of the few anticipated albums of the year as he seemingly stepped out of prison and went straight to the booth to record. The album is due out on August 17th, but Grand Hustle/Atlantic is going to make sure you don’t forget with the promo leading up to that date. You can already pre-order the album and below is a trailer for the album…
