There’s a lot of rap that’s funny in a bad way, but not many comedians who can bring their element to the art of rhyming. Cue in ItsTheReal, Jeff and Eric, who have been doing some of the funniest sketches and interviews over the years. Their new venture is rapping. On April 1, they’ll be [...]

A couple months back, Raekwon dropped his Lost Jewlery EP to hold us off until we get his full-length album F.I.L.A. With that EP, Rae proved that he still has what it takes to make an impact on the industry despite being around for close to 20 years. Today, Raekwon gave 2DopeBoyz the go ahead to premiere [...]

You might remember Brooklyn native Ricky Blaze from his single “Just You & I,” it was hit back in 2010. If you don’t, you shouldn’t feel bad, I had no clue who they guy was until I seen him perform at Drexel Unv. a few weeks back. Blending, reggae, today’s radio-style rap, and with a [...]

On Sunday, Grown Man Hip-Hop will be out. Likely following the usual format, we can anticipate some more collaborations from the mind of DJ Kay Slay. Here’s our second single courtesy of Xalence. The Maino sample on the hook and the beat just doesn’t really sound too good. DJ Kay Slay Ft. Fred The Godson, [...]

With Maino’s Mafia movement continuing to grow, he recruits another mob of artists to remix “Mobbin’.” Surprisingly, with a line-up that doesn’t surprise, this track really goes hard. I’m talking the entire cast put on a good show and you’ll want to listen again. Busta and Trae were spitting that heat. Maino Ft. Busta Rhymes, [...]

Sample clearances hold back certain songs from getting on albums, “To The Music” being one of the many. So, like a lot of material that’ll be on Attack The Block, he decided to release it to avoid the whole issue of not getting cleared. The combination of Kweli and Maino seemed odd at first, but [...]

With the camera helmed by long-time collaborator Taya Simmons, Fred The Godson rides around town with The Mafia leader, Maino. This one came off the DJ Drama-hosted City Of God mixtape, which in my opinion was kind of slept on. Hopefully we see some new material from Freddy in the near future. Previously: Mistah F.A.B. [...]

If this was an R&B song, it’d be sweet and exactly what the title says. Since this is the grimey and gritty style of Gangsta Boo, with guests 8Ball and Maino, this is a warning to stop pillow talking to hoes. Noted. And not for nothing, this track is nicely constructed. Now all we need [...]

Molly, Molly, Molly. The official drug of choice in Hip-Hop. Everybody from Juicy J to Tech N9ne have rapped about it, so it was only right to keep the trend going in Brooklyn. Ashanti’s “Baby” instrumental becomes the drug lab for Maino to flip, push and praise the pill. Maino – Molly Previously: Maino Ft. [...]

The Breaking Point remixes continue to roll out. This song was probably one of the most successful after seeing a little bit of success on the charts briefly. So, a proper remix is due, and Emilio sure knows how to craft ‘em. New verse from himself with guest features from Maino, who delivers one of [...]
