Cam sent over another song that he cooked up as he preps for his next DJ Drama mixtape “Boss of All Bosses 2.5″ featuring him and the U.N. My coworker DJ Kay Slay also played it last night on Hot97. But more interesting were the details that Killa shared about his next album…it seems that while Cam’s insular social dealings keep him unique, its nice to hear that he’s been collaborating with other big-name talent too. Ones that we’re not accustomed to hearing him with….even a very popular R&B singer? Variety is the spice o’ life ; )

Bonus: And since we had that technical hiccup earlier this week and lost some valuable posts…I wanted to make sure we re-posted some of the more recent Cam’ron/U.N. leaks…

The homie Maino has alot of things on tap…along with his upcoming album, Day After Tomorrow, he shot a movie that I’m looking forward to seeing (especially because his “Up Close and Personal” series was some of the most compelling rapper testimonial, last year). But last night, Maino sent me this new street single to follow up his “Bring It Back, DJ” song…

NMC Exclusive: Maino “Retaliate” (download link)

I like this….something Brooklyn about it, lol. (thanks to Maino and Josiah)

New Music: Ski Beatz feat. Jean Grae, Jay Electronica, Joell Ortiz, and Mos Def “Prowler 2″ (download link)

It’s no secret that I’m very fond of Travis Barker the drummer, and my friend DJ A-Trak, turntablist and bon-vivant. So I was especially psyched to see that they’ve formed a duo. Its definitely different but still in the same collaborative vein as the incredible TRVS/AM partnership that Barker had with the late, great, DJ AM. A few weeks ago, Travis X A-Trak jammed at the Roxy in LA, and I posted some of that footage after the jump….

but in preparation for this week’s South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas (Travis x A-trak have a big show tonite Thurs, Mar 18 at Republic Live! With more Fool’s Gold fun on Fri at Malverde)…The guys documented their rehearsals and antics….see above : )

After the jump, check out more footage from Travis x A-Trak’s Roxy show….

As I mentioned in the earlier post, Gucci and DJ Holiday put together a sequel mixtape to the recent DJ Drama tape, this one called Burrrprint 2HD, dropping April 13 (with classically absurd cover art). Tonite, the first leak debuted on Atlanta radio as well as on Shade45, but here’s the CDQ.

New Music: Gucci Mane feat. Ludacris “Atlanta Zoo” (Dirty, CDQ) (thanks to the homie JGrand)

(Drake in the same Barbour jacket that I have, lol; Jamie Foxx with an unfortunate cut; and Trey Songz, who really doesn’t have anything to do with this post, but isn’t exactly tough on the eyes. *sorry, guys*)

Splash sent over this unearthed audio of Drake crooning the reference track to something he may have written for Jamie Foxx. Not if this was before or after they collaborated on “Digital Girl.”

NMC Exclusive: Drake’s reference track “Fall For Your Type” (Jamie Foxx) (download link)

Revisit: I absolutely love this song. And Drake would be crazy to give this to Jamie Foxx. He would sing it well but somehow cheesify it. (I know, I’m taking liberties with the Eng lang)

The homies at Onsmash got the world premiere of this new Clipse video “Freedom,” directed by Shomi/IllusiveMedia/Re-UpGangFilms.

Love this song, and I like simple stark vids….but I think even men need a dusting of translucent powder ; )

On Sunday, Jay E. called P.Diddy to the stage at the Mos Def show (click to see Mikey’s exclusive footage)…and tonite, the big homie Funk Flex answered Jay’s twitter-request to hear “Exhibit A” on Hot97, lol…so I guess he felt benevolent and released this video. Nation/Nahright says that Jay told him that Jason Goldwatch/Decon’s footage is from Dubai, and also Nepal (previously seen in “Dear Moleskine“).

Tonite, the big homie Funk Flex debuted this new (not I Cant Feel My Face material) collabo between Elz and Weezy….And Juelz (and Joe Wunstop) were nice enough to send me the CDQs for you (thanks Juelz, Thanks Joe Wunstop). Now Juelz told me that they already have the video done, and it should be debuting this week (along with a live performance of “Back to the Crib” : ). But I’m also interested in hearing Juelz’ upcoming song, produced by Bangladesh…I’m happy to see the kid heating up. He’s good peoples.
