Enjoy the first single from Jose Luis Gotcha’s upcoming S.O.R.E., featuring two women I’d like to go all “let’s play sandwich, i’ll be meat” with. SHAKE UPDATE: I switched the image of N.O.R.E. with a new video from Nina Sky. Let’s face it… the dopeboyz would much rather watch two pretty ladies dance around than look at N.O. sitting in a chair. I could be wrong though…

Don Cerino hops on the Croup produced remix to Nina Sky’s In a Dream. Yes Don… you killed it. And yes… you are the main reason this is getting a post. But no… you are not getting the image spotlight. Nina Sky >>>> you, in that sense. Ha! Also… Don just reminded me of this extremely dope project that’s on the horizon. He’s been working with producer Incise and the homie Jonathan Master at SRC over the past year and I’m hyped! Incise Presents Rapper Clearance will feature an insane guestlist. Just check the three singles (working titles) that you can expect soon enough…

• Royce Da 5′9”, Grandmaster Caz, Killer Mike & Shire – R.I.P.

• Don Cerino & Chaundon – Rumors

• Guilty Simpson, Skyzoo & Termanology – We Runnin This

DOWNLOAD: Nina Sky – In a Dream (rmx) f. Don Cerino (prod. Croup)

A while back the original version with Gumshoe Roberts was posted, but apparently Nina went back in the studio to update it with Mr. NSC. This version makes more sense anyways, just coming from a musical standpoint.

DOWNLOAD: Nina Sky – Curtain Call (BK Remix) f. BK Cyph

So I haven’t spoke on this whole Rick Ross fuckery. And honestly I don’t give a shit. I’m not the biggest Rawss fan so why do I care what he was in the past? I do find it hilarious that TSS pulled his card pretty tough though. Now he’s talking shit? Blah… and I put a picture of Nina Sky above instead of C.O. Ross because I enjoy looking at them more. If you want to view Ricky without a shirt, be my guest.
