What the hell is going on here? Apparently Paris Hilton just got a record deal with Cash Money Records and is releasing a new album. Last time she released an album was in 2006 and we’re pretty sure nobody listened to it. We love the Cash Money family and everything, but this is such a weird pick up. Let’s brighten your day and throw in a video of Paris Hilton DJing, can’t you just feel how much the crowd loves her?
Tuesdays are kinda my favorite day of the week. Aside from the lull of it being the middle of the work week, there is always the anticipation of some great tunes dropping today. This Tuesday specifically, we have some pretty heavily anticipated albums dropping. Here’s a few we say you must get now!
Daft Punk – Random Access Memories
Not much needs to be said of this. 8 years we’ve waited for a new studio album from the greatest duo in electronic music history. Daft Punk’s new album, Random Access Memories
French Montana – Excuse My French
With a slew of successful mixtapes, it only makes sense for us to rock with French. He’s been on every big club hit this year, and he’s got a couple of his own on this album. Check it out.
The National – Trouble Will Find Me
Here’s a band that just doesn’t put out bad music. The National is back with another awesome album, and they continue to impress.
30 Seconds to Mars – LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS
Frontman Jared Leto and crew are back with another album this year, following what would be the longest tour ever by a band, that went for over 2 years long. That’s dedication.
Fast and Furious 6 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
What looks to be the finale of one of the most recognized series in modern memory, and also what looks to be one of this year’s big summer blockbusters, it warrants an album of the same caliber. A compilation album featuring the likes of Ludacris, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, The Crystal Method, Peaches, deadmau5, and so many more, this is a complete soundtrack.
All of these albums are available online and in stores now!

The Truth w/ Elliott Wilson: “Most Anticipated Albums of 2013″
French Montana feat. Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Drake – Pop That Artwork + Snippet
Last time Lil’ Wayne and T.I. got together for a track, they absolutely shut it down with “Ball”. Now they’ve got another one together and it sounds very promising also. Here’s “Wit Me”.
UPDATE: That was fast! The same day the song drops we also get a video!
Ace Hood is killing it right now with all the hit singles and huge features. This time he picked up power hitter Lil’ Wayne for a new track called “We Outchea” and they sure are. Listen or download below.
So you know how Rick Ross rapped about drugging a woman and then Reebok dropped their endorsement shortly after because of women protesting outside of the Reebok store in NY? Well now the same thing is happening to Lil’ Wayne and Mountain Dew after he referenced Emmett Till in one of his songs. Till’s family wants Mountain Dew to drop their endorsement due to the lyrics. We’ll see how this one plays out.
A little late with this one but still worth the post if you haven’t heard the new track yet. Here’s Drake featuring Lil’ Wayne and Rick Ross with “No New Friends”. Didn’t expect Wayne to pop up on this one but you always gotta have him on the Khaled cuts. Major track from Drizzy once again, pretty much “Started from the Bottom” part 2.

Lil’ Wayne forgot to add a song to his last album, so that’s the reason for this one surfacing. Here’s him and Meek Mill with “I’m Good”. Weezy spazzes on it, good to hear him goin in like that. Meek recycled.
Say what you want about Lil’ Wayne’s album, he still did some pretty good numbers with it. According to HitsDailyDouble the rapper sold 217,430 copies of his 10th studio album “I am not a Human Being 2″ in just the first week. Justin Timberlake still beat him out this week by selling 317,000 copies which puts “The 20/20 Experience” past 1 million units sold in the 2nd week, platinum status.

Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson is back with another episode of “The Truth” and this time he breaks down Lil’ Wayne’s new album “I am not a Human Being II” which dropped today. He discusses all the recent medical complications and releasing the album at a bad time. Here’s what he thought…

A couple seizures and media complications with TMZ won’t be slowing Lil’ Wayne down any time soon. He’s back to work and just announced his next tour dates for the “America’s Most Wanted” tour. T.I. and Future will also be joining him on the road. Unfortunately no stops in Seattle, but maybe he’ll add some more dates in the process.
