TGK First Annual Rap Awards 2012

The rap game is a tough field of competition. If you aren't beefing with some one through words, it's through album sales.  In turn, you have to sift through a lot of garbage music in order to find the actual gems. Now, I'm not the biggest listener to underground stuff, but here are my most notables of the A list names.

Song of the Day: Compton by Kendrick Lamar feat. Dr. Dre (Prod by Just Blaze)

October 22nd is the set release date for good kid, m.A.A.d. city from Kendrick Lamar. Only 20 days away but still a long time. Until then we have the next single released. Produced by Just Blaze, those homage to the Cali town sounds very west coast, as something produced by Dre. I'm sensing there's going to be a remix with Game soon. Maybe not Gorilla Black.  Dre's feature on this is quite lengthy, but the track would have been more dope if Nate Dogg was still around.

Song of the Day: J. Cole - I'm A Fool

Released today, this track gives Cole's fans something to chill to while awaiting his next studio effort.  Maybe I'm greedy, but I'm a little more interested in the snippet at the end of this track. Either way, have a listen below and lmk your thoughts...

Track of the Day: DJ Khaled feat. J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T. and Kendrick Lamar

From Khaled's upcoming CD featuring three big names.  If Cole produced it, what the heck did Khaled even do?
