That’s right we’re about to get some new Project Pat this month. October 30th to be exact and I got the album cover in the email today and thought I’d share it with everyone. Pat recently left his contract with Sony to go the indie route and ended up with Koch.

This is a Hypnotized Minds albums with Project Pat in the lead and should produce some ringtones and bouncy club type hits for you to get up to. You’ve probably already heard his single Don’t Call Me No Mo or maybe the recently leaked Rubber Band Me and know a little of what to expect. Or if you’re like me you’re still jamming that Chickenhead track on occasion. So check out the album artwork and stay tuned for more news this month of Project Pat!

That’s right Three 6 Mafia is ready to start making noise again. After a little delay and some time in Hollywood with reality TV and awards, the men are back and grinding to get that album ready to drop in December. Just in time for your Christmas collection, if you do that kind of thing. Well here’s a brand new track that’s about to break out on the airwaves and internet and I’ve got it for your first of course. It’s called Like Money. I look and feel and smell like money, look at me dummy!

So yesterday was a Texas holiday called UGK day. Alright so it’s not an official holiday and the postman still delivered mail and the banks were open, but to those of us that are into that real southern hip hop, or should I say that trill southern hip hop, yesterday was a holiday. It’s been about 5 years since their last album hit the streets and with time in between alot of things have changed, but these two are still on top of the country rap tunes game.

This time we’re lucky enough after all the wait to get a double album with 29 tracks and if you got into the stores fast enough you got to grab a copy that included a bonus DVD with a few of the new videos on it. If you acted real fast its currently on sale most places less than $13 with the DVD. I got mine for $12.99 and I’ve been wearing the discs out in the car for over 24 hours now and I’ll let you know this is as good as its ever been, or pretty close.

I’ll always be a fan of a few classic UGK tracks and I’m just not sure for me anything will ever compare to Diamonds and Wood, One Day, Murder, Pinky Ring or some of those tracks from Ridin Dirty. Maybe its just because I remember the time when I was hearing them while I listen, and not just the song, or maybe its because UGK was still raw and still hungry. Since then a lot has changed, Southern rap has really exploded and the spotlight is on it. Others have come up and come and gone. Bun B has done a verse for nearly anyone that was hot in the last couple years and his mixtape appearances were numerous. Read the rest of this entry »
