Lil’ Wayne gets a big boost this week as we see the physical retail release of I Am Not A Human Being taking him back up the charts to the #1 spot. All this and he’s still in jail folks.
I haven’t had a chance to listen a lot of material from the group Chiddy Bang (I will eventually, but it’s only so many hours in the day). Either way, at least 6,000 fans picked up their second EP The Preview. I’m officially out of the loop.
I’ve already talked about how dope The Foreign Exchange are. If I’m not mistaken, with Authenticty coming in at #145, this may be their highest debut on the charts so far with (I could be worng though…). Still, for as good as the music is, this group deserves more recognition. [Check out Soulections.com’s review of Authenticty]
