So we’re already six months in 2009 and well into the seventh … here’s a little shortlist of what I thought best of what was released so far (in no particular order). I know Top 30 might seems like an odd number, but I just wrote down songs off the top of my head and it ended up around 28, so i added 2 more to reach 30. You might also notice that I play around with the release dates of the songs, some of them leaked in 2008 and are still on the list, because they were officially released in 2009 and so on … anyway, here it is in no particular order.

And that will be all folks.

Daniel Merriweather is having a remix contest for his hit single “Change” ft.

If you never heard of Daniel Merriweather yet, well you’ve been sleeping son and need to step your game up. You hip-hop heads might have heard of him due to his collab with Wale that appeared on the latest 10.Deep mixtape entitled The New Deal, but he’s been rolling his stone for awhile now, the UK, Australia and lately been getting some attention in western part of the globe too and I know I posted his video awhile back, but a little reminder is always good.
