Joell Ortiz & Novel - "Like I Know"

Considering how good "Stressful" was (it was featured it on my last tape as well as the end of the year list), the second song leaked off of Joell Ortiz and Novel's forthcoming Defying the Predictable mixtape had lofty expectations.  This song easily meets and exceeds them and continues Ortiz's hot streak (every song he's touched in the last year has killed it).

Joell Ortiz & Novel - "Stressful" feat. Cri$tyle aka The Ink

Damm, the way Ortiz has been killing tracks lately, I've been waiting for him to drop a mixtape.  Looks like I'm finally going to get my wish as he teams up with former Rawkus Records artist Novel on their upcoming Defying The Predictable.  On this track, the duo teams up with ATL artist Cri$tyle and create a much more meaningful and much less superficial track than the original, Drake's "Successful."  Props to OnSmash.

Peace, Love, & Hip Hop,
