Mixtape Monday:Graf Gets Personal,Hova"Get His Andre 3000 o

411:Grafh used to be known as "the black Eminem" when he first hit the mixtape scene, but nowadays you might wanna start calling him the Chef (with apologies to Raekwon, of course). Grafh recently leaked 12 songs from his long-in-the-works debut and he said he did it because he felt songs like "MySpace Jumpoff" and his countless freestyles aren't enough to show why he considers himself the "best chef in the city." "I use the example of being a chef, because how would you know that I have the best food if I never gave you a plate?" he explained. "So I have to give people a sample so they don't get it confused. They need to understand what I do and what I represent. Most of the records are really introspective and personal and relate to me directly. But they're based in pain and struggle, so anybody that's gone through anything real in their life can relate." The get a taste of the album, you can head over to Grafh's MySpace page to download it for free. Joints To Check For: * "In My Mama's Eyez." "Every man can relate to when you go home and your mother looks at you with the particular innocence she knows from her little baby being a kid," Grafh said. "She sees that pure innocence in her son. And when that same man leaves through them front doors to go in the street, the streets done made him a whole 'nother man. He might be in the streets doing all kinds of wrong. Especially when I look at my own life, I was in the streets getting money doing all kinds of sh-- I wasn't supposed to do. Then I got home and I'm still that innocent little dude to her." * "Cold-n-Heartless." "I'm analyzing pain and the feeling of being numb to it," Grafh said. "Our society in general is numb to it: You watch the news and hear about people being shot or raped and it doesn't affect your mind, really, and I'm just reflecting on that. Everybody seems to be so numb to that stress. Sh-- has to be so jacked for you to feel it, like the Virginia Tech shootings. It seems like some people don't even react." * "Lil' Kenny." "That record is dedicated to a little kid that I used to take care of and kind of raise when I was in high school," Grafh revealed. "His mother was on drugs and he used to live downstairs in the basement of the building I was living at. She didn't care for him much so he used to always come upstairs. I would care for him, buy his clothes, all his school stuff, and feed him. Take care of him like I was a parent when I was a little kid. And she f---ed around and killed him. That's one that's dear to my heart." The last couple of guest appearences we've heard from Jay-Z are Ne-Yo's "Crazy" and Rihanna's "Umbrella," but it looks like Hov is finally doing a record with a person the streets have been dying to hear him collaborate with: T.I. Chances are Jigga will appear on T.I.'s T.I. vs. T.I.P. LP which is due early this summer. "We got word back that Jay did a verse for this song I got," T.I. said last week at his Grand Hustle Studios in Atlanta. When asked about the cameos, Hova laughed and said, "I'm getting my Andre 3000 on right now," referring to the string of sterling side appearances Mr. Three-Stacks has been making on songs like DJ Unk's "Walk It Out" remix and Devin the Dude's "What a Job." ... Since we're on Andre, well the cat has been let out of the bag that he will likely appear on T.I. vs. T.I.P. as well. Dre has also been talking to Rick Ross about getting in the studio for Ross' upcoming Trilla. Tying it all together, Jay-Z has already recorded a song for Trilla, a duet with Ross called "Maybach Music." "You already know what it is," said Ross, who was also in Atlanta last week, of the track. "I'm not going to say too much about it. ... Beanie Sigel is officially back with Roc-A-Fella records and is working on his next album, The Solution. Sig says he wants to keep the guest spots to a minimum, but you know you can expect to hear Scarface and various members of the crew once known as State Property on there â
