More Previews!

January is a good month. There is less school in this month than in most, American Idol begins (sarcasm) and bloggers are still ecstatic about albums that will drop later in the year. Myself included! This being said, there are a couple of hip-hop albums dropping later in the year that we should all get hyped up to download..err...purchase. About:Rap tells us whats "really good" with 2007:
