Rapper turned dancefloor don Pitbull drops Planet Pit with a bonus track “Shake Señora Rmx” featuring Ludacris, Sean Paul & T-Pain. The following week brings the heat, as Big Sean’s Finally Famous finally arrives. Pete Rock & Smif-N-Wessun get Monumental and Beyonce’s 4 sets the stage for hubby Jay-Z to drop Watch the Throne with Kanye West on the 4th of July.
In some more indie news, Flint, Michigan’s blue collar scholar Jon Connor will drop his iTunes album Salvation on July 12th. Connor has been making waves in Hip Hop for the past year and just last week he dropped a track from Salvation titled “Broken Mirror”.
