I want to see Red Cafe succeed and put out Shakedown in stores. It’s undeniable that he can make a good single, but the first choice off his debut album is a little iffy. Having T-Pain didn’t help as much because the beat sounds out of place for him to be on. I’m not sure [...]

Two new records from Red. The first unreleased cut features the D.C. native Fat Trel, and the Bad Boy that runs N.Y right now French Montana. On the second track Red Cafe brings out his Shakedown artist from Philly, Mansion TUTT. Together they drop a few bars on the definition of what else Gangsta Love. [...]

The ShakeDown continues. This is video number two from Red Cafe off his latest project Hell’s Kitchen. Something light weight from Red and very “swaggarific.” His mixtape changed my opinion about him. It was as solid of a project as this video. A few well known artist make an appearance is this one. See if [...]

I’m trying to find time to give Red Cafe the proper listen he deserves with Hell’s Kitchen. In the midst of things, we get one of the collaborations sans DJ Whoo Kid tags. Cafe brings you two of the hottest rappers in the game right now. How you not love that? Red Cafe Ft. Meek [...]

Another year, another great Red Cafe free album. Hell’s Kitchen is just like Above The Cloudz with one big change; Cafe is a little sharper than last time. Joined by a lot of big names such as Cory Gunz, Waka Flocka, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz (of course) and more. That should be enough to sway [...]

I will admit that I have been sleeping on Red Cafe for a while now after hearing this leak off his new mixtape, Hell’s Kitchen, I’m starting to rub my eyes. The track isn’t bad but it lacks a wow factor as does most tracks by him. Hopefully his tape, which drops tomorrow, will have [...]

“Ain’t been a better Bad Boy since Mike Lowery” No love for Marcus Barnett? Ha. It’s a Bad Boy affair with special invitation to the man who needs to be on your remix or next single, 2 Chainz. Leave it to Red Cafe to upstage the original. I’m fine with that since I wasn’t too [...]

Another day, another Karmaloop TV interview. Shakedown founder, Red Cafe sat down to discuss the chemistry with Ryan Leslie, some of the moves he did wrong early on in his career, his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar and ASAP Rocky and more. I’m surprised he hasn’t heard more from K. Dot since he had such an [...]

The new Bad Boy crew took over NYC last week. Starting at 106 & Park, then Hot 97 with a dinner at Phillippe Chow following and finally to Greenhouse club. Cassie said her album is coming in May. Shouts to UPL. I’m real interested to see what the Bad Boy team can do in 2011. [...]

Bad Boy is looking like it’s poised for a comeback in 2011. Last night, they took over Hot 97 to premiere this joint. RR brings in the untagged. It feels like the same people continue to run the remix game. If you doing one, call Trigger for sure. Ha. This is as good as the [...]
