Make sure you download Fresh Prince HERE. Real solid music people!

Watch Out For Willie Joe's "Fresh Prince"

Be on the look out for Willie Joe's forthcoming mixtape The Fresh Prince, dropping next month. Also, word is that Willie, Traxamillion and Erk tha Jerk are 10 songs into their FNM collabo album. I am personally juiced for that. I think the three of them together could be The Bay's next best chance to make some waves–And this time for something dope and respectable.

Not Your Average Joes: Willie & Stevie Sing

Check out the latest video from the Work Ethic MAYhem series and then vibe to this nice little groove from Willie Joe and Stevie Joe. I'm feelin this number and can relate to The Fresh Prince's frustration when he says "They say hey, is he really from the Bay / Just because I be everywhere, especially the A." In my case it's NY, but we both put on for our cities regardless. Sometimes you gotta leave to spread the movement. I see you Willie.

DL: "Slap"- Willie Joe and Stevie Joe

Much love to Ms. Backside always

Happy 4/20 from Clyde Carson & Willie Joe

If you're from Cali then 4/20 isn't really much of a holiday, because there's a good chance you blow on the regular. In fact, you probably forgot today was 4/20 because you smoked too much on 4/19. But in case you are partaking, here are a couple new dro anthems from Clyde Carson and Willie Joe.How will I be celebrating you ask? Well, I am currently pulling an all-nighter to crank out a couple articles and then I have work all day after that. So yall go ahead without me. Make sure you take Clyde and Willie with you though. Easy

New Music: Willie Joe feat. E-40 & The Jacka

Vallejo's Willie Joe enlists Hillside vet E-40 and Town OG The Jacka for his new single "Mountain." Joe has been putting it down for a minute but has only splashed on the local scene recently. He is a Bay native but relocated to Atlanta in 2005 to step his hustle up. Check out his myspace to peep more videos and tracks.

"Mountain," is the latest manifestation of a Bay artist trying to break a new slang word to the masses. Don't know that this one will catch on, but the track is nice. Willie Joe holds it down, gets a solid (if wishful) sixteen from Jacka, and a gem of a verse from 40 Water. Can't remember the last time I heard a dude rep the Carquinas Bridge on wax.

"How We Do It"- Willie Joe, Stevie Joe & FAB

Stevie Joe and Willie Joe f/Mistah F.A.B. - How we do it from In Yo FACE Filmworks on Vimeo.

If you are at work, around children or a tad bit righteous, you may not want to watch this video as it is filmed in a strip club. The club, Pink Diamonds, happens to be the only black owned strip club in the Bay. FAB features, but the stars are Willie and Stevie. I'm in the process of doing my homework on these dudes, but it apears that they are not your average Joes. Only time and 38thnotes will tell. Keep it locked! Props to The Bay is Back
