PRE-ORDER: CunninLynguists – Strange Journey Volume Two

I’ve actually been spinning this album in it’s entirety for the past 2-3 weeks (one of the perks with running one of the most successful sites on the internets) and I can say it’s definitely something serious! Amazon threw up some snippets so I figured I’d link ya’ll (click the image above). September 29th is the date!

We posted the single featuring Carlitta Durand back in July, now it’s time for a sampler of Nicolay’s upcoming solo effort (which drops September 15th). Hit the jump for the order of the snippets.

Just like Raekwon, Trey Songz & M.O.P.; Amazon comes through with snippets of KiD CuDi’s upcoming album, which is scheduled to drop September 15th. UPDATE: CuDi’s fanboys came through with some higher quality snippets (for download).

Before I get into this, I have to apologize for my absence. I didn’t have access to the internet for the last few. Which came at a good/bad time as I’ve been going through a few personal issues and needed the short break. Shouts to Meka for holding it down. Aight… enough sappy shit. We gave you the Slaughterhouse album snippets below, now we’ve got the snippets for Joe Budden’s upcoming digital EP that drops next Tuesday on AmalgamDigital. Unlike the CDQ/30sec snippets in the Slaughterhouse post, this is recorded from JBTV and features live commentary and jibber jabber from Joey and others. You can still get an idea of what to expect.
