As a warm-up to his sophomore effort, Respect, coming February 20, Fatal Lucciauno and Jake One got together to give the fans an 11 track EP. The Message came out of the blue and turns out to be a great EP. Fatal and Jake are one hell of a combination. “Drunken Poetry” is easily my [...]

HHC linked up with the homie Fabby Davis J.R. when he was out in London. Before we see the interview portion of their meeting, F.A.B. goes off the dome for five minutes. His flow is unmatched with the no pen, no pad stuff. I Found My Backpack 2 out now. Previously: Video + MP3: J. Pinder [...]

As a collective, Strong Arm Steady is a great trio. Separate, you see that same hunger in the three. While they finish up Stereotype, Krondon is also putting some work in on his own solo project. Hear him run through this Don Cannon production like it’s nothing. Sex, Drugs & Rock N Roll is coming soon. [...]

One of my favorites from Seattle, Lace Cadence partnered up with his boy Parker to do an EP titled Imagination. On it, they’ll display a lot of different types of music (Lace even told me a while back they did some dance music). Look for it to drop on February 17. In the mean time, [...]

*Mark Morrison voice* Whooaaa! Trae is the King Of The Streets for numerous reasons. One is his ability to move around the industry and pull off this type of record. Trae took an already amazing collaboration record from Street King and made it miles better with this remix. My vote goes into K. Dot’s verse [...]

Times is rough. We got all this depressing news to watch. Bills probably due. Jobs going away making it harder to find one. So much stress. Well, forget all that. Hit the blunt and see if it don’t change your perspective (word to Katt Williams). K-Boy has the idea with his latest record. The Blue Light [...]

Nipsey and Blanco have collaborated together in the past. Their chemistry must’ve sparked the idea of a collaborative album, Raw. Cookin’ Soul will be producing the entire thing and it’s available April 17. This record serves as the first single. That beat knocks! Hit the jump for the cover. Directed by Aris Jerome. Previously: Video: [...]

You want those headphones, Q? You gotta spit some bars for the camera. Shouts to Karen Civil. After the jump, Kendrick Lamar discusses the making of his debut album, sessions with Pharrell, Q-Tip and working with the same producers he’s been using. Q talks about his upcoming album and being three songs deep. Previously: Video: [...]

Bloody murder! I really like the set of 2 Chainz’s upcoming video with Kreayshawn. I’m still not too fond of her verse, though. Alex Nazari should really be in your top five for video directors in the game. Grab that T.R.U. Realigion or put it back in rotation. Previously: Video: 2 Chainz On Signing To [...]

He’s back with his first tape of the year. After hyping up his fans with a slew of basic videos, we now have the entire basic project! Woo! Swag. Cook. And all that other nonsense y’all love to rock with. Another 21 set of tracks to add to your collection.
