Hot on the heels of Dr. Gimm’s drop of “Only You”, New Champ gives us his second mixtape. As a collection of over 30 new (and a few older) tracks, this mixtape definitely gives new and established fans a better look/listen at New Champ’s prowess on the mic with tracks that range from playful and lustful to vengeful. As with his last mixtape, No. 1 Bad Boy, he’s also filmed some promo clips to accompany this round of lyrical ear-candy. Keep reading to check out his promo clip of Swag 7 and Crazy Boy as well as to get your copy of 1day1baby.

Jochi, OB, SCG, and Safe make up the New Jersey rap group M.O.B.Stars. The initials stand for Maintaining Our Brothers. The video above, “Watch Ya Back”, comes from their 2010 release “II S.O.S. (Substance Over Swag)” (I’ll be posting this up soon!). The end of the video has a snippet vid of another track called “Diamendz”, where Safe is featured. I’m new to their music, and haven’t had the chance to listen to S.O.S. yet, so based on the video/song alone… I’m diggin’ the throwback hip hop feel. The beat is simple, and gives most of the focus on the guys’ verses. Enough talkin, click play on the vid.
