Summer SGTV

Wondering what the hell is being played on the big-time music video networks Hip Hop wise? Plies? Uhhh, please. Flo-Rida? Is that the waitress' gangsta brother? Tyga? Is that a Marvel super hero? From time to time, push away from BET, MTV, and check out SGTV's top picks.

Vordul Mega- Megagraphitti - Come on, how are we gonna not give dap to one half of Can O and his newest joint. Rumors abound last year about his problems, but now with this banger, could a Cannibal Ox new album be far behind?

Skillz f/ Talib Kweli- So Far So Good/Sick- Older heads may remember Skillz when he was Mad Skillz in the mid-90s. Younger heads may recognize the VA lyricist from his annual year-end 'Rap Up' tracks and battle with Shaq. Yes, Shaq. Skillz, tell Shaq how his ass taste.

Craig G and Marley Marl- Made the Change- Last year Marley hooked up with KRS, now he's on the prowl with underground legend Craig G. Since "The Symphony" and his battles along the way, Craig has been one to check for.

Snowgoons f/ Reef the Lost Cauze- This is Where the Fun Stops- A hot track from the equally bangin album from the Snowgoons, Black Snow. This album has everyone on wax making an appearance: RA The Rugged Man, Smif-n-Wesson, Ill Bill, Defari, and more.

Shawn Jackson- Feelin Jack- "I make moves like a U-Haul truck" this MC spits over a mellow laid back beat. The Cali MC makes his moves this summer, on tour on the West Coast, with some dates with Giant Panda.

Pace Won and Mr Green- Hip Hop- This entire album has been on blast for me the past few weeks. Epic production and beats with Pace Won's precise lyrics. Harkens back to a Diamond D early 90's feel.

OLD SCHOOL BLAST- Lord Finesse f/Sadat X, Large Professor, Grand Puba- Actual Facts- I used to think that Puba just stood out on this track, but listening a dozen years later, all four MCs absolutely kill it.
