Bailey & J. Valentine- Hide Ya Breezy Mixtape*** (A must for any Bay Area Hip-Hop fan. Give it a look)

The Pack- SS Mixtape***** (A must for any Pack fan. Has only Young L and Lil' B from the Pack, and Young Squad, a up and coming group from Richmond. A must)

This is the third and final part in the series of Dope Tracks. Some seriously hot songs are”Hollywood,” By Capone-N-Noreaga, “Elevator (Produced by Timbaland),” by Flo-Rida, and “One False Move,” C-Murder Featuring Akon. This is a real hot post. I would honestly recommend downloading just the RAR file, or all of the tracks. Hope you guys enjoy this one Also, you need Charli Baltimore’s “Lose It,” its one of Storch’s hottest beats.. Albums to come either on Tuesday or Wednesday with songs to follow a day or two after that. Peace…

Bangin’ Selection:

1. Flo-Rida- Elevator (Produced by Timbaland)***** (Timbaland and Flo-Rida make this into a banger. This song will definitely be the next single off his new album)

2. C-Murder Featuring Akon- One False Move**** (Akon produced it, its C-Murder’s first big song since he’s been out of jail, meaning this song is dope as hell. You need this)

3. Stack$ Feat. Young Jeezy & Keyshia Cole- Talk Is Cheap (Produced by Scott Storch)*** (Stack$ is from Miami, so is Scott Storch. These two team up for the fourth time, and have a smooth track here. Jeezy’s verse is top ten of his all-time)

4. Rome & Yung Tone- Booty Clap***** (Need this song. It’s from the
Who’s Your Caddy” soundtrack. Who’s Your Caddy is the biggest underated comedy of all time. If you like Hip-Hop & want to see some hilarious acting, this movie is for you. Big Boytown approved)

5. T.I. Featuring Lil’ Kim- Get Ya Shit Together*** (A few years old, but a song that didn’t get even close to the recognition it deserves. One of T.I.’s finest tracks. Kim’s not bad either)

6. Master P- Bout It, Bout It**** (A classic 90’s rap song that goes as one of P’s most recognized songs. Bump this in your stereo. Some classic New Orleans rap)

7. Capone-N-Noreaga- Hollywood***** (These two former NY cocaine dealers do a pretty nice job on this trippy track. Give it a look)

8. Charli Baltimore- Lose It**** (God damn. That’s all I have to say about this song. It’s a must have. Seriously, this and “Elevator,” everyone needs in their life)

9. MTB4- Got Me Going**** (Diddy’s newest protégé is fire. Straight fire. Give this track a listen. Going to be on the radio in the coming months)

10. 50 Cent- You Ain’t Crazy*** (An unreleased track from the end of 2007, that was just leaked onto the internet. Check it out if you’re a fifty fan)

Trey Songz Featuring Lil’ Wayne- Can’t Help But Wait (Remix)*** (Weezy’s verse at the beginning of the song is his best so far in 2008. Let’s just hope he can get his legal issues figured)

Ghetto Mafia Featuring Shawty Lo- Trap Be Jumpin’*** (Wow, can’t wait for Shawty Lo’s album to drop in the next month. He’s from D4L and he’s got a very unique way of rhyming)




G-Unit- Bottom Girl** (A second single from their upcoming album. Gotta love these guys, although they may have lost some of what they had back when “Beg For Mercy” was released)

C-Side- Myspace Freak (She a myspace freak, a myspace freak)

Kanye West Featuring R. Kelly- Flashing Ligths (Remix) (Kanye enlists the pied pipper on this one to help him out. Nice little remix here)

Kidz In The Hall- Drivin Down the Block**** (These guys are so similar to the Pack, but have some tight beats that sound real unique. Check these guys out)

Streetz & Young Deuces Featuring Young Texxus, Spark Dawg & Polow Da Don- Ugghh!! (Remix)****** (Pollow Da Don,“Whatever U Like,” by Nicole Scherzinger, & Rich Boy’s “Throw Some D’s,” gets on this remix to make this a banging song. A definite party song)

Mr. Cheeks- Lights, Camera, Action*** (Had to bring this classic song back. Its from 4 or 5 years ago, and it was huge then. Enjoy this because it was Mr. Cheeek’s only successful solo track since leaving The Lost Boyz)

Cam’Ron- Pass Da Dutchie*** (Killa Cam does an amazing job on this track. A real smokers song)

Lloyd Featuring Harry-O & Ja Rule- Devil In A Dress*** (Wow, this song has some serious bass. If you have a good system just put this song on. You’ll understand what I’m talking about)

Omar Cruz Featuring The Game- Gangsta Music [Produced by Cool & Dre]**** (This has some serious potential to be a west coast anthem with the Game’s help. Listen to the song)

Roscoe Umali- I’m So LA [Produced by THX]*** (Definitely an LA, anthem. Rossimer and BigBoytown blew this track up all over Oxy)

Cass Marcell- Take His Head Off (Another banging track off of the “Who’s Your Caddy soundtrack)

Bubba Sparxxx Featuring Timbaland- Twerk A Little*** (Bubba’s first track in a long time. This is one of those songs where Timbaland just goes off, and does his own verse, along with the chorus. Check this out)

Flo-Rida Featuring Sean Kingston- Roll**** (These two guys do such an amazing job, especially Sean Kingston. Can’t wait for Flo-Rida’s album in a few weeks)

Flo-Rida Featuring T-Pain & Francisco- Low (Remix)*** (Hot remix with Spanish singer Francisco. Need this one)

N.E.R.D.- Everyone Nose (Pharrell’s rock group does a awful job with this single. Check it out, let me know what you guys think)

Rob G Featuring Paul Wall- Private Dancer** (Rob G has been in the rap game for a long time. Seasoned veteran, with Paul Wall equals a dope collabo)

Snoop Dogg- What It Do* (A nice track that isn’t going to be on his next album, but its from a unreleased mixtape. Check this west coast track out)

Master P. Featuring Silk Da Shocker- Bout Dat**** (A true classic No-Limit track. One of my personal favorites of Silk)

Vein Feat. Pitbull- Get Up Stand Up*** (Damn, can’t even explain how much of a banging party song this track is. Get it)



Video of the Week- Gucci Mane - Hella Ones (This video cracks me up. Give it a look)

Bangin’ Selection:

1. Trina Featuring Killer Mike- Look Back At It***** (Remember David Banner’s “Play,” this song puts that song to shame in terms of nastiness. It also is a tight ass song. You need this)



2. Bun-B Featuring Sean Kingston- That’s Gangsta**** (Hot song. JR Rotem produced it, Kingston is on it, and Bun-B does a nice job on this banging track)



3. Young Buck- New York City*** (Buck is tearing things up. Used Phil Collin’s “I Can Feel It in the Air Tonight.” Nice, bangin’ track)



4. Webbie Featuring Lil’ Boosie & Gorilla Zoe- Independent (Remix)** (The original was hot, but the remix is even hotter. Think “Wipe Me Down” pasta. You’ll love this)




5. Kia Shine Featuring Shawty Lo & Streetknok- Wow (Remix)*** (Kia Shine may still be a two hit wonder, “Krisy” & “Wow,” but now he has a solid remix. Check this track out)




6. Hollywood Holt- Beat In My Trunk***** (Hollywood Holt is from Chicago, and he’s done a few tracks alongside The Cool Kids. Give him a listen and let me know what you think)



7. Flosstradamus- Laffy Gimme*** (This guy is a local DJ from Chicago, and has regular shows at clubs there. He’s got a very very similar sound to Girl Talk in terms of mashups. This is dope)




8. Yung Joc Feat. Shawty Lo (of D4L) & Jody Breeze- Aw Yeah**** (Don't know why this wasn't hot "Hustlenomics." One of the hottest Joc songs I've heard. This is my guy right now. Check this song out)



Rico Love- Drivin’ Like A Bitch** (Wow, this reaches some Ja Rule “New York” status in terms of repping the 5 boroughs)


Ya Boy- It’s A Party** (Ya Boy tears this track up. He sounds like the Game on this banging track. You need this, especially you Hot Sizzle)


Young O.T.- Break Me Off**** (Young L produced the beat. Its dope Bay Area track. Look out for this guy in a few months)


DMX feat. Junior Reid & Dawg E. Slaughter- Bad Boys* (DMX’s first track in over a year, and he tears it up. This song bumps)


Hollywood Holt- Fiest Hearts*** (Love this beat. Trying to find the original, so I can sample it with something else. This track is so sick)


Young L- Mo Fuckin Boss** (So glad that he is doing some solo work away from The Pack. Him and Young O.T. are tearing it up right now)


Rocko- Woke Up** (T.I.’s newest artist signed to Grand Hustle. This guy has future, as well as a new album coming within a few weeks)


Deepside- Makin’ Love To Booty Music (T-Pain produced the track, and these guys are actually half decent. Think Pretty Ricky, but a little bit more mature and tame)


Nyce- Cold World***** (A very emotional song. Check it out. This guy has so much anger, and energy in his rhymes)


Foxy Brown Featuring T.I.- In The Trap* (Foxy is trying to make a comeback and does a pretty good job with getting T.I. on this song)


Hollywood Holt Featuring GLC- Swerve & Lean* (Bangin track from this upcoming Chicago Hip-Hop artist. GLC is from Chicago and is closely affiliated with Kanye. This collabo is dope)


Flosstradamus- Act A Fool*** (May not be the normal FMB type of song, but for some this could really fire you up. Blumpkin is one of them)



Video of The Week- Nyce- Cold World (Love this guy. Gonna find some more of his stuff. Check out the video. In case you didn't see it, this single in posted above)

Dope Tracks (1 of 3)

Been a while since the last post. Had to get some sun in Hawaii for a few days, down in San Diego for a weekend and now am back to bring you the first post of 2008. It was a good year people. Look for some serious improvements in 2008, as well as a new section at the beginning of each song post. The new section will be called “Bangin’ Selection.”


This post is part of a three-part series to usher in the new year. This first one is some older stuff, that I had stashed away. The second one will be pretty hot, and the third one contains some of the hottest songs yet.



To download all of the tracks in one RAR file click here: FinestMarin (First of 2008, Part 1)


Bangin’ Selection:

1. Ying Yang Twins- Drop***** (Scurfus put it best, “This song is fucking unbelieveable.” It truly is. This will be a banger for Bar Mitzvah’s, dances, parties, you name it. Watch out for this one, and remember who gave it to you first)

2. The Game Featuring Juice & Ya Boy- So High**** (Hot song. Won’t this one anywhere else. Such a great westcoast track with Juice (repping NY) on it)

3. Flo-Rida- I’ll Be Cool*** (Wow, if you thought this guy needed featured artists with him to really shine, you were wrong, and this is proof. Hot track)

4. Mr. Biggs- Take This Shit To Trial** (A classic Southern banger from the mid 90’s. This guy has such a grimy flow. Gotta have this one)

5. The Cool Kids- Beeper*** (Gotta give credit to “Entourage” for turning me onto these guys. With that and Big Boytown's help I got this banging track from these guys. I posted some of their tracks over the summer, and now they are getting coverage in XXL, The Source & even Rolling Stone. Look out for the Cool Kids. Needless to say, this track bumps, as do all of theirs.

6. Three 6 Mafia Featuring UGK- On Sum Chrome***** (Pimp C’s last official recording. This is a classic Southern song. These two artists did a nice job of incorporating both citites Memphis & Houston into these hot track)

7. Nox Featuring Yung Joc- My Zone (Produced By Scott Storch)***** (This is an amazing track, and it just further proves why Scott Storch is still a mega-producer)

8. Clinton Wayne- The Yard*** (Really, really hot song. This guy is from 760 Bosco, CA, and makes sure to mention is hatred of hyphy and going dumb. Nice little track here)

9. Young L Featuring Lil’ B- All On My Dick*** (Two members of The Pack really tear it up on this hyphy track. A must for any Californian, and Thomas, you need to download this one bud)

10. Lil’ Jon Featuring Fabo (of D4L) & Gucci Mane- I’m A J**** (Just a good ole song about smoking weed all day, drinking at night, & just ballin it up. A must have. MUST)

11. O.T. Featuring Young L & Young Scott- Money In My Hand*** (Exclusive Bay Area track. Has Young L on the production as well as the first verse. He rips it up)

12. Ice Cube- Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It*** (Some brand new Cube. He still has the flow somehow. This is a must for anyone on the westcoast)





  • Ya Boy- Head (Off his newest mixtape, Optimus Rime. I’m going to post the album on the next album post)



  • 40 Glocc Featuring Akon- Borrow U*** (A banging track. Akon took a break, but now he’s back appearing everywhere. 2008 is going to be a big year for Akon. 40 Glocc’s verses are mediocre at best, but Akon makes this track)




Video of The Week- Timbaland - Scream (Feat. Nicole Scherzinger & Keri Hilson) (His newest video from his multi-platinum album, "Shock Value." Gotta love this collabo on this one)




Picture of The Week- Lil' Wayne's mugshot (Wayne was arrested earlier today at the Arizona-California border. His bus was pulled over for an inspection and after dogs went nuts when on board the bus, DEA agents searched it. They found 3.7 ounces of marijuana, an ounce of coke, 41 grams of ecstasy, & more than $22,000 dollars in cash. His arraingment is scheduled for tomorrow at 9:00 A.M. At least we know that the Carter III will be coming out soon, anything beyond that, might have to wait a few years if Weezy is found responsible for all of this)
