Checking email is kinda like Christmas; we never know what kind of hotness--or wackness--we're gonna get, be it penis enhancement spam (holler at us when y'all invent them reduction pills, yaoming?), some MySpace rapper's new shitty Auto-Tune track (Kanye's T-Pain impersonations are kinda hot, yours ain't), or new downloads and videos. On the "hot shit" side of the spectrum, we got new videos from Bambu, Keelay and Zaire, and Jake One.
Producers Keelay and Zaire of the nationwide crew The Sole Vibe (what up Whooligan!) are getting ready to drop their debut early next year. This first single, "The Times," has us amped for the full-length. The joint features So Cal spitter Blu, crooner Nino Moschella and Sole Vibe family members Slo Mo and Mush Mouf over Kee and Zee's lush backdrop. When they blow up, count on us to be like, "You know them Sole Vibe cats rocked our launch party, right?" Peep...
Bambu drops his new video for his for-the-people anthem "Like Us" off his latest album, ...exact change.... Fittingly, the video is a collage of live performances, rallies, and Bambu chopping it up with the people. This should hold us over until that "Crooks and Rooks" video finally drops...

Last but not least, the first video off of Jake One's White Van Music, "The Truth." The sample-heavy song features Philly-bred Freeway and Rhymesayer Brother Ali in their patented passionate deliveries. It's not the only odd pairing on the album. Atmosphere's Slug shares a track with De La's Posdnous and a Young Buck track follows the villain MF DOOM. The album also features M.O.P, Elzhi, Royce Da 5'9", Black Milk, Bishop Lamont and more. But this joint should be enough to make you cop it...
