From New York through Philly and down into D.C. we have confirmed that the track that is killing it in the clubs these days is "Rock Da Mic" by Beanie Sigel and Freeway. It might as well be TRL over here right now - e-mails, phone calls, and word of mouth adds up to this track being the one to warm up clubs this winter. No regional bias on this one, Free and Beans have NYC jumping right now with 107.5 WBLS and Hot 97 nodding their heads with the cut moving into rotation..

When Beanie Sigel said, " I come from high-school and go straight to the league..." he was speaking figuratively, making an analogy between his meteoric rise, with little experience, into the professional level of the rap game. Well, what Beanie meant symbolically, Jae Hood fulfills literally. The high-school phenom, only 17 years old and with the backing of the LOX, particularly Sheek has "everybody" talking about his appearances and freestyles on mixtape after mixtape. And he has his feet firmly planted on the streets with "Call Me Hood" featuring Sheek on the chorus. At first impression it looked like Jae Hood was heading in the direction of being a one-dimensional artist, as far as subject matter went, but we were hearing that the young man had a variety of topics and a diverse subject matter on his debut release. We have heard a few cuts and can confirm that to be the case. Look out for "He Say, She Say", which may be the best young people's relationship cut, lyrically, that this genre has seen, from the male perspective, since Slick Rick's "Teenage Love"...
