Due to blogs leaking unfinished songs from my actual album I’ve decided to pass of Good Fridays this week.

It’s messed up that one hacker can mess everything up for everyone… I love to take a year to finish my songs and deliver them to you guys in there most completed form.

It would have seemed like since I give free music every week even the lowest form of human being would respect that enough not to leak unfinished songs from my real album.

KANYE WEST – LOST IN THE WORLD (TAGGED)

Although it is tagged, the full version of Kanye West’s new song “Lost In The World” has emerged. ‘Ye debuted a verse when he made his visit at the Facebook headquarters a couple of months ago. The cut finds Yeezy spitting over a “Woods”-sample by Bon Iver that were featured on his “Monster”-track. This definitely sounds more like 808&Heartbreak-material but is said to be a new recording. However, since news arrived that his album is indeed finished this could be the first real leaked “victim”. Hence, only stream. Enjoy

MOS DEF SIGNS WITH G.O.O.D MUSIC

Kanye’s G.O.O.D. music roster gets deeper with the new additions of Pusha T, Charlie Wilson and CyHi Da Prynce. But in this month’s latest issue of XXL Mag, the “Monsters Inc.” article reveals his long-time compadre, Mos Def has also joined aboard the G.O.O.D. Music imprint. It reads the following:

“Just as Kanye returned to his roots to scoop up Common, he recently recruited his buddy Brooklyn rapper/singer/actor Mos Def into the GOOD Music fold. Long regarded as a formidable talent by underground devotees and mainstream fans alike, Mos appeared on “Two Words” (from Kanye’s 2005 The College Dropout) and “Drunk and Hot Girls” (from KW’s 2007 Graduation). Since his 1999 solo debut, Black on Both Sides, Mos has increasingly been pushed — whether by generational choices or self-exile — to the fringes of indie, alternative hip hop. Maybe it will take Kanye to reign him in.”

We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available, stay tuned!
