I haven’t even hit play on this yet having just downloaded it myself, but how can I keep you all waiting, you know this is gonna bump. I mean shit, if Chip‘s proven track record and the cover art on this thing aren’t enough to make you click download as is, check out the track listing. Features from CyHi, Wale, Cudi, Krayzie Bone, Bun B, Far East Movement and more. Not to mention production by Lex Luger, Chuck Inglish, Boi 1 Da, Hi-Tek, Dot Da Genius.. the list goes on. I’m excited as hell for the way this Monday night is about to turn out. Let me just fill the air with a little something right quick.

Enjoy.

That pretty mothafucka hits us with some NSFW visuals to accompany a track of LiveLoveA$AP. All the classic hip hop imagery included, everything from nice cars and money to women and drugs.

ScHoolboy Q – Hands On the Wheel ft. A$AP Rocky

One of the dopest songs I’ve heard in a minute is this one right here. It’s off Q‘s freshly released Habits & Contradictions, and they made some quick moves to give this one the visual treatment. Get that album though for real.

Chip tha Ripper – Out Here

First off, great mixtape cover. I’m assuming this is a picture of a young chip, but I can only imagine this is the same face any baby would make if you bumped some of his music nearby. Second off, gotta be honest, after Gift Raps dropped I thought Chip had reached his peak. It seemed tough as hell to top that project. But some how, Chip is keeping it on the rise. He links up with Lex Luger on this one for a crazy production. Instrumentals like the one found here have basically become synonymous with Chip tha Ripper; trippy vibes, clean masters, and heavy 808s. And his flow always rides them perfectly. I can’t wait for Tell Ya Friends to drop. No announced date yet, but I’m hearing sooner than later.

Theophilus London – Last Night (LVRS Anthem)

daNk Himself — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:21:57 +0000

Damn, Theophilus out of nowhere just hits us with a smash. This joint goess. The beat it hard, and the entire thing is catchy as hell. Make’s me wanna call the crew up and start taking shots to get the weekend going already. I’m guessing this is the first single he’s pushing for his new project, Lover’s Holiday II: Rose Island. I’m definitely excited for more.

Jay-Z – Glory ft. B.I.C.

As I’m sure most of you heard, Beyonce gave birth yesterday to a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. And what happens when you’re the child of the biggest musical powerhouse couple of our generation? You get your voice on a track before you’re even 24 hours old, as seen here with Jay presenting a heartfelt track in an attempt to express his emotion on the life changing day.

daNkideas.com is Back!

daNk Himself — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 02:16:55 +0000

That was a major scare! Not sure how many of you all noticed (it was definitely a bunch seeing as our analytics on the day did a straight nose dive to under 200 views), but sometime between last night and this afternoon daNkideas.com traveled back in time about 16 months. Somehow, anyone that tried accessing the site saw a version of it from September 2010; old posts, old layout, old authors, and all. I was blocked out from accessing our backend dashboard and was being redirected to an old WordPress.com account we moved away from over a year ago. Not really sure what happened. I did some crazy hacking around on our host server and domain manager and finally must have triggered something that got everything back in working order.

I apologize for those of you that were buggin out that you couldn’t get your fix. I’m sure a lot of you must have thought you lost daNk for good there. But all is well, twas a quick recovery. Not gonna lie though, I was panicking for a bit too. But now that we’re back, it’s time to burn one and take a deep sigh of relief.
