Mack Maine - Genocide (feat. Royce Da 5'9" & Talib Kweli) [prod. Tha Bizness]

Oh this collaboration is intriguing. Royce & Talib? Mack Maine not sounding like ass? Oh I like this. Turns out that this was actually a remix to Mistah Fab's "In My City". Looks like Mack Maine hi-jacked it and made it his own. Either way, download after the cut.

JRDN - The One (Remix) (feat. Royce Da 5'9") (Video)

Random Track of the Day 1: Royce Da 5'9" - Success (feat. Obie Trice)

Album: The Bar Exam 2
Producer: N/A
[Lyrics]

The whole purpose of StraightFresh is to provide you guys with music. Straight up. So every few days I'm going to shuffle my 29,579 song iTunes catalog and hit you guys with whatever comes up first. You never know what what artist or even what genre will be posted so it'll be cool for you guys to hear peep some shit you wouldn't usually get to hear.

The first track we have to jump start the series is from Nickel and his Bar Exam series. This was a bonus joint that wasn't on the official release, but Nickel rips it and gets Detroit native Obie Trice to help out as well. Stay tuned for the follow up post within the next few days. Download after the cut.

Mistah Fab - In My City (feat. Royce Da 5'9" & Talib Kweli)

One of the standout tracks from I Found My Backpack 2, on iTunes now. Download after the cut.

Deph Naught - Lemme Go (feat. Royce Da 5'9", Crooked I & Zawles)

Jesus. Deph Naught aka Daniel Kelly (of Degrassi) some how gets Royce and Crook on a track with him lmao. Hey I guess he figures Degrassi already produced one superstar musician, why doesn't he take a crack at it. It's hilarious how different he is from the gangster-as-fuck Crooked I & Royce. Check out this interesting collab and hit the jump to download.

Absent - Best I Be (feat. Royce Da 5'9")

Royce never turns down a chance to lend a verse (if the money's right I assume) to unknown artists to get their buzz going. Can't knock his hustle. Download link is after the cut.

#WILTN Black Milk - Deadly Medley (feat. Royce Da 5'9" & Elzhi) (Video) [prod. Black Milk]

The second "What I'm Listening To Now" segment is right here. My boy @GleamsATM brought this song back to my attention when he rhymed over the instrumental. I didn't know there was a vid for it, but both the visuals/verses/beat are all dope as fuck. It's off of Black Milk's Album of the Year. Download link for the mp3 is after the cut.

Professor Green - Nightmares (feat. Royce Da 5'9" & Kobe) [prod. DJ Khalil]

Songs of the Week (Top 15 Songs of August 2011)

I've been slacking on the Songs of the Week posts, being on vacation and shit. Being on a tropical island kind of voids out any type of blog posts that take effort. But don't worry we be back this weekend, with some shit that'll keep you occupied while you wait out the hurricane of death. Although I hope you guys check the site multiple times a day...the truth is many people don't and some real gems slip under the radar and don't get heard or get the credit they deserve. 

So I'm starting a new segment on the last weekend of the month I'll make the Songs of the Week post a wrap up of all the best songs that have come out in the past month. Each song has a separate download link, and at the bottom of the post there will be a .zip file that has all 15 songs in one download. Remember, this is MY opinion, although I welcome any input recommendations that didn't make the list. So hit the jump and check out the best songs that have come out in the past 30 ish days.
