For the first single off his Midnight Magic LP, rapper/producer Nemo Achida drops a hypnotic jam produced by Ultra Beatz. The synth-heavy tune with has a nice vibe to it that should fair well against other production on his upcoming project by Childish Major, Iman Omari, Quartermaine, Rashad Thomas, and a few others. Look for Midnight Magic to drop July 2nd.

Ever since Gibbs left CTE I’m not sure how to feel about the crew. They have talent but is Young in the right position to but his artist on? JW doesn’t wait to find out.

Ryshon Jones gets by with the minimal in his video for “H.O. Drip” off In Theory. He invokes the less is more theory by suggesting the world is being brainwashed and uses plenty of pop culture clips to back up his statement. While it seems basic, the video is actually quite clever in not overshadowing his message. Directed by Johnny G and Ryshon.

Travi$ Scott is a weird character. At first, Owl Pharaoh was pushed back to clear samples, indicating it’d be for sale on iTunes. Yet, here it is, free and nowhere on Apple’s giant music store. The 13-track album is his first body of work since all his buzz started mid-2012, meaning there’s a lot riding on this being well received. People want to know if Kanye West, T.I., Epic Records and the many other co-signs were worth it. There are features from Meek Mill, Toro Y Moi, ASAP Ferg, Wale and more. Stream and download it below.

This year marks the first time E-40 missed his usual March release of two or more albums. So far, there’s been no explanation offered, but it’s safe to say that Forty Water is working on something. Lil Jon dropped “Ripped,” which he’s featured on and produced. It’s the club banger side of 40 that’s been so prominent in his music lately. If you hate being sober, this is your anthem.

On Good Nights & Bad Mornings, Snow Tha Product kept all the guest features away. Instead, she;s going to get more burn on the material by re-releasing it as Good Nights & Bad Mornings 2: The Hangover. Coming out in June, it’ll feature Tech N9ne, Dizzy Wright and more adding collaborations. “On Now” has her spazzing in the first verse about rappers being scared to get on a song with her in fear of getting killed. Luckily, Trae The Truth isn’t one of them.
