New Wale – My Sweetie

So yeah Wale is doing big things now.  Can’t call him a crab in a barrel no more.  Not when you’re performing on BET and are on 106 and park.  But he still gets love from the  Crabzinabarrel fam for being one of the few hip hop artists from the DMV to go national!   Check out this hot new song from Wale.   He  samples a classic African song on this track.  If you’re African or ever been to an African party you will probably instantly recognize what song it is.  Look out for his album coming out in October.  I would give you a date but its Wale we all know his album is dropping on Nigerian time.

Also, in cased you missed it, Wale’s Rising Icons aired at 12am this morning.  Lucky us, some got that ish and posted it to Daily Motion, which usually takes longer to get shut down than YouTube joints.  He puts on the DMV, so eff the hating azz crabz trying to pull him back in the barrel!

BP3

By Urbansocialight

I’m going to be honest. We here at crabzinabarrel.com can’t get our sh*t together on this one. I’ve got my opinion, El Solo Dolo has his, and ReneeWoods has a whole different opinion all together. Today we’re going to do something a little different. We’re not going to comment on Jay-Z’s BP3. I’m going to let the listeners express their own views. So go ahead, tell us what you think about the songs you’ve heard thus far.

Here’s the link to the download if you haven’t heard it, hurry up before they shut it down. Download BP3 here.

He Said She Said

Wassup crabzinabarrel.com world it’s your girl ReneeWoods and I went to the He Said She Said event last night and yall can tell everyone that ReneeWoods said the show was dope!!!!!!!!!!!Now I’m going to be real with yall and state I was almost going to leave when I arrived at Palace Five at 9:00 pm and there wasn’t anyone performing. But I stood outside, and waited, and waited, contemplated going to Busboys and Poets for a bit, then waited some more. Then finally I went inside and around 10:00 PM RAtheMC             (http://www.myspace.com/simplyra) started performing with  Mz Mimz    ( http://www.myspace.com/mzmimz) and honestly it was worth the da*n wait. Sidenote: Peep the video below of her perfoming. After RAtheMC’s performance was over it wasn’t too long before Phil Ade ( http://www.myspace.com/philade301) was on stage rocking the crowd with songs from his mixtape ” Starting on JV.” Once again it was worth the da*n wait and the best part about this EXCELLENT  show is it was FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.  Now I have been to shows that costed me my hard earned money  that I didn’t have that weren’t as good as this one.  Peep the pics and video footage that El Solo Dolo got for your viewing pleasure.
