Looking for two songs featured on "The Wire"

Looking for two songs featured on "The Wire." The first is from the episode "Amsterdam," playing at Cutty's homecoming party. The second is from the episode where the Stanfield organization forces Bodie to buy product from them. Chris Partlow and Snoop approach Bodie and ask if he'll accept, then a car drives by and drops off the drugs. The song is playing in the car.

FWIW, they're probably on here.

The first part of Cutty's homecoming party song is "My Life Extra" by DJ Technics.

Response by poster: Bonus, the song playing at the end of the video from Cutty's homecoming is different from the one playing at the beginning. Can anyone name the second song?

Response by poster: Apparently the car track is DJ Technics - Pumpkin. Anyone know where to find it?

I found this:

but the links aren't working. I think you might be able to find a torrent. Keep the thread posted on your progress. I'm very interested in finding this track and other music from the bmore scene now because of this post.
