The Lowdown (4/7)

The Lowdown will be the weekly update of releases for the next tuesday. This Tuesday's releases show two New York emcees dropping their newest in hopes of reviving the east coast, which as of late has been fairly quiet compared to the south.

The first of the releases is the New York vet, Jadakiss who drops his final album of the Kiss trilogy with, The Last Kiss. One third of the Lox, Jada brings us his long delayed solo release, which comes after the changing of label (Interscope to Def Jam) and the resurgence and talk of a new Lox album to come. The album features production from The Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, Neo Da Matrix and Don Cannon, as well as a variety of guest appearances, Mary J. Blige, Nas, Ne-Yo, Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy and many others. Lead singles-"Can't Stop Me Now" & "By My Side (ft. Ne-Yo)"

The second release comes from the fairly new New York emcee, Mims. Two years back, he exploded onto the scene with "This Is Why I'm Hot".  The album wasn't nearly as good and showed some identity problems. His newest, Guilt, has Mims reuniting with his main producer, Blackout Movement, but also teaming up with new production duo, Da Internz, as well as established hit maker, Jim Jonsin. Lead singles-"Move (If You Wanna)" & "Love Rollercoaster (ft. LeToya Luckett)"
