Because Writing Isn’t Your Day Job

There’s nothing like the feeling of seeing an artist/group you follow grow from e-hype to mainstream praise. Pac Div ain’t exactly mainstream yet but they’re well on their way.

This cat’s been getting some buzz for months and I kept turning my attention elsehwere. So when I saw that his latest dropped this Monday I decided to see what all the fuss is about. I didn’t know much about dude other than he’s from North Carolina and he’s the first Roc Nation signee. I don’t know the specifics behind the deal but he had to have impressed Hov to get that big cosign. I tried not to get gassed but I knew he had to have something special to get noticed by one of the greats.
You know it’s great to come home to free music after a long day. I found this sitting in my inbox when I booted up the laptop. This tape contains all the songs featured on It’s a 6th Sense Beat Yo!! from February. Allow me to extend my praises to 6th on this one. Grab the link and enjoy.

Scott Mescudi, bka KiD CuDi, is an interesting character to say the least. Dude went from myspace to Hot 97 off of the strength of Day N Night: a TWO YEAR OLD song. Maybe the radio was slippin’ (nah really they were). Plus the Jim Jones remix played a role in it’s success. Nevertheless that’s unheard of.
He doesn’t really go in when he raps and he’s not the best singer. But he knows how to craft songs that people want to hear. That talent, along with a GOOD MUSIC cosign and a left of center look, gives him an edge in not only rap, but pop music in general.
This tape made the rounds yesterday but I’m upping my own link for two reasons:
1.) It’s one less bogus link to worry about
2.) I hate .rar’s that have songs all out of order
Oh yeah did I mention that this is a pretty good tape? He went in on “Say You Will.” I like how Drake and now Sean took over Ye’s record and actually made it better each time. Most of the stuff here is new along with some album cuts, snippets, and the obligatory REMEMBER ME?!?! joint in “Getcha Some.” While the subject matter hasn’t really changed that much behind his songs, you can hear that his flow and lyrics stepped up since Finally Famous. Get the link and check the track list after the break.

I first heard dude on Mick Boogie’s Honor Roll tape back in October. I didn’t think much of his feature since he covered Too Short’s “Life is Too Short.” Thus I didn’t check for him like that. Then he was on Leaders of the New Cool w/ “Buyers Guide.” It was cool but once again I wasn’t compelled to hear more of his music.
