Here we have Rubyhornet offering another fresh, exclusive collaboration that finds one of the web's most popular MCs teaming up with some Chicago up-and-comers. Freddie Gibbs and Chi-city's YP, who complements the Indiana native's flow nicely, delivering smooth, female-centric rhymes on "Something New." And they spit over a laid-back beat from Million $ Mano that I'm 99 percent sure draws from Isaac Hayes' "Bumpy Lament" off the original Shaft OST. Hip-hop heads might remember that Dr. Dre sampled that track for "Xxplosive," which was then re-appropriated for Erykah Badu's "Bag Lady." Luckily, though, producer M$M makes this completely original and provides yet another reason to check out a Gibbs track.

Great beat.
