The current state of Hip Hop is anyone’s guess. The game has been saturated with so many artists. Many people are downloading music online, but there are still some releases that get people to dig into their pockets.

The long-awaited Kanye West and Jay-Z titled “Watch The Throne” is stirring up a lot of buzz. People are definitely tuning in to hear what one’s of hip-hop’s top producers has done with one of the most popular artists in the rap game. The first track is called “Otis”, and it’s a track that fits the type of sample production that West is known for in previous Jay-Z collaborations.

Lil Wayne is also back with the Carter IV. The first single and video is a surprising departure from lots of the gangster imagery that characterizes Little Wayne tracks. The album has a mirage of guests, but Wayne proves that he’s the star of the show.

Another notable hip hop album is the “The Red Album” by The Game. It’s moving units that may overshadow the efforts of both Lil Wayne and the Jay-Z Kanye West compilation. These three show a strong presence from the south, east, and west coast hip hop masterminds.If you like what you see, keep going: Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV Smashes iTunes Record
