Jay-Z: Official Blueprint 3 Cover Art + Possible Tracklist

Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3

Jacked this from my man Kevin, yet again.

So here's the cover for Jay-Z's long awaited 'The Blueprint 3'. Interesting cover. I get the 'three lines' thing, very clever marketing, yet it seems to be missing the general Jay cover swag that the majority of his other albums have been bathed in.

Anyways, peep the possible tracklisting...looks like Kanye is running shit. 'Run This Town' is amazing, very excited to hear the style of production he went with this time around. Definitely fiendin' for this one.

1. What We Talking About (Produced by Kanye West)
2. D.O.A. (Produced by No I.D.)
3. Weigh Me Down Feat. Kid Cudi (Produced by Kanye West)
4. Unforgiven (Produced by Kanye West, Additional Production: MGMT)
5. Run This Town Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West (Produced by Kanye West)
6. Empire State Of Mind Feat. Nas (Produced by Kanye West & No I.D.)
7. When It Comes To This (Produced by Timbaland)
8. Always Feat. Drake (Produced by Kanye West)
9. Scenes From The Past (Produced by No I.D., Co-produced by Kanye West)
10. Everyday A Star Is Born Feat. Mr. Hudson (Produced by Kanye West)
11. Already Home (Produced by Kanye West)
12. Forever Young Feat. Mr. Hudson (Produced by Kanye West)
13. Thank You (Produced by No I.D.)

HiPNOTT Records Presents: Nobody Famous - Order Up! Volume 3...Available Now!

Nobody Famous - Order Up! Volume 3: Chicken & Waffles

My apologies for being a few days late on this one, but the homie and labelmate Nobody Famous just dropped his latest LP, Order Up! Volume 3: Chicken & Waffles, the first official release on HiPNOTT Records!

Here's the official word from the label:

INCLUDES THE HIT SINGLE
“DON’T ACT LIKE I NEVER TOLD YOU”,
THE NEW SINGLE “ELECTRIC”,
THE STREET ANTHEM “HUSTLER MUZIK”,
AND THE SULTRY R&B HIT “UNIVERSAL LOVE”

Order Up! Volume 3: Chicken and Waffles is the brand new album from Nobody Famous, released digitally on HiPNOTT Records. Produced solely by Nobody Famous, the album includes 10 tracks of sample-free Hip Hop, Soul, and R&B which is virtually unheard of in today’s music. The album features appearances by Dasha, Wax, Jarell Perry, Justin Figueroa, Bohagon, Tragedy, Chris Young, and Skinny C.

Nobody Famous is an emcee/producer out of Los Angeles, by way of Atlanta, GA. The concept behind the name Order Up! is to serve the listener good music; music that they can keep coming back to and feel satisfied off of in the same way that they would a good meal. This is the third volume in his Order Up! Series and is by far his best work to date. So if you’re hungry for that good music and want to walk away feeling full… Order Up!

Ah shit...more HiPNOTT action. We don't quit, it's not a game, people! Peep:

HiPNOTT Recording artist, Speek Greene, plans to release three mixtapes before his highly anticipated full length album, The Long Look, drops in the fall. For his first mixtape, he linked up with Phoenix emcee Mr. Miranda. If the name Miranda sounds familiar, it should as he is the nephew of the infamous Ernesto Miranda. Still not ringing a bell? How about Miranda vs. Arizona?

Anyway, no gimmicks needed for this mixtape. The Wonderful World of Mr. Miranda brings us dope rhymes from Miranda and outstanding production from Speek Greene. I’ve been vibing to this mix all weekend, that I’m thinking of doing a sample set to it.

Don’t forget, The Long Look from Speek Greene and Mozaic (executively produced by Kev Brown) coming in October. You can catch Speek Greene and Kev Brown on tour now!

Halftime Hip Hop Show Interview with Kevin Nottingham

Halftime Hip Hop Show Interview with Kevin Nottingham

Another thing I'm slippin' on. Kev worded me up about this, totally forgot. About to check it now. Big ups to DJ BlacqueStarr for supporting both Kev and HiPNOTT Records, we're mad excited right now. Check what Kev had to say:

Friday night, DJ BlacqueStarr of WUOG 90.5 FM (the University of Georgia’s radio station) dedicated a portion of his show to HiPNOTT Records. We premiered the second single from Nobody Famous‘ Order Up! Vol 3, “Electric.” DJ BlacqueStarr also played some new music from Cee & Bekah, as well as a track from G.C. and Tokyo Cigar’s new EP, The Cave Kingz.

But the highlight of the night was when I called into the show. This was my first on air interview and I’d like to thank DJ BlacqueStarr for giving me the opportunity and giving my artists some shine. We spoke for at least a half an hour about KevinNottingham.com, the label, our upcoming releases, the site’s remix contests, and we even delved into the future of music, digging, etc.

So in case you missed the show, you can listen to the interview after the cut. If you wanna check the whole show, which I highly recommend, you can do that here.

Cee & Bekah - Can't Get Enough (The Soul Movement Volume 3 leak)

Cee & Bekah

I can't believe I didn't post this last week. I'm slippin'.

The homie Kev leaked our second joint from 'The Soul Movement Volume 3' last week, called 'Can't Get Enough' (produced by K-Os, over his 'Love Song' joint) and a few other blogs picked it up (see below), which was great to see.

Check it out on Kevin Nottingham's blog. So it seems we're dropping the news that none other than Mick Boogie and Terry Urban are mixing our new joint, which is fucking huge to say the least. And it's dropping through HiPNOTT Records, followed closely by The Soul Movement Originals, an album of all our original beats from The Soul Movement mixtape series (as Volume 3 is the final drop).
