Jon John talks to Large Professor about what he’s been doing and where he sees the music industry heading. KRS-One also lets loose a little freestyle for the camera. Some performance footage of Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes and more is also embedded within this latest episode. Q-Tip got a verse on Busta’s “Stop The [...]

This beat is officially RETIRED from all SD posts. Keep your shirt on, Boss. Spliff TV behind the camera in Las Vegas. Grab the MP3. Previously: Rick Ross & Triple C’s – Walking On Water (Prod. By Lex Luger) (NO Tags)

We got a special treat in addition to the Rap Up at the end of the year. On October 10, The World Needs More Skillz and we’ll get it. This is the first smooth single from it. It’s your typical woman themed song. I was hoping for a lot better but hopefully the album lives [...]

Donny is really out of the loop. These freestyles went out a while ago. I guess we’ll let it slide since he’s working on his third album, Yesterday’s Tomorrow, which will be a classic like his first two. Here’s some light from the NY native over Diddy’s quite annoying single. Donny Goines – Hello Good [...]

Black EL has been putting out some dope records over the last few weeks and each with a cover. Now, here is the 10 track album for your listening pleasures. There is also a booklet included in the link with lyrics for each record. Talk about going above and beyond. Hit the jump for stream [...]

Everybody is trying too hard with Lex Luger. He was dope before everyone caught on and just wanted to sound like “B.M.F.” or “Hard In The Paint”. His sound just doesn’t advance further than that.

Where’s YOUR mixtape, President? “Drake’s crazy,” Young Money president Mack Maine told MTV News last week. “He’s doing a mixtape right now. He called me one night, [...]

After putting out the song yesterday, Lysa sent through the official video off We On, which is now dropping on September 22. While we’re on the subject of Blu Division, the roster has expanded a lot recently. The line up is now Quiz, Conflict, Stage, K Boy, YG Soprano, Tiny Beef, Tiny Doo, Da Beast, [...]

Cole, Drake, Nottz, and more.  Speaking of those last 3, there are 2 events this week that all our fellow Pacific NW’ers should come [...]

Why even try to live up to the original? Nas doesn’t even try with a short record that originally came out as “Power, Paper & Pussy”. The second record sounds like something he was doing back during the Untitled album sessions. Very knowledgeable and preachy. We need Nas to hurry up and make this new album a [...]
