FreshPick: Ghostface Killa – Forever
My favorite rapper blesses the masses with some heat. I’m not sure what this will be on and/or when it is coming out, but when it does support hip hop and buy it. This joint is fiyah!!!

Tokin Black Guy – Turn My Music High (Video)
So I didn’t give this a “freshPick” for the simple reason that this is just too reminiscent of “Hey Ya”. I’m not saying this joint aint fresh, I just felt he could’ve separated himself a bit more from that Outkast sound. Otherwise, thumbs up on this one. Make sure to check out TokinBlackGuy’s website as well, pretty fresh…

FreshPick: Wale ft. Lady Gaga – Chillin’
Ok, I’m a couple days late but here is the Cool & Dre produced joint from Wale. As much as I strongly dislike Lady Gaga, I rocks with this joint. Mainly for the way they chopped that sample.
