Coming out of PG county, Shy Glizzy is a DMV native that’s on everybody’s radar. “Pilot” first appeared on Glizzy’s wildly popular Fxck Rap mixtape and since then has been buzzing. It was only right he and Def Jam’s “All Gold Everything” artist, Trinidad James hit the airstrip for an official video. Directed by 1st [...]

Without letting the audio marinate, ASAP Ferg utilizes the buzz surrounding his remix to “Work” and drops the video. It follows that industry standard of getting different solo scenes with each rapper, but visually works well. It also helps when the actual song is worth listening to. Trap Lord coming soon. Previously: ASAP Ferg Ft. French Montana, [...]

“Work” was the breakout single from ASAP Ferg last summer, so the remix needed to be treated delicately. While it’s typical to toss in French Montana, Ferg gets some cool points for the inclusions of Schoolboy Q, Trinidad James and ASAP Rocky. As expected, Ferg had the hardest verse with Groovy Q coming in at [...]

Trinidad James has released minimal new material when it comes to his career thus far. We’ve heard little guest features and a couple of loose records, but he’s been smart about not flooding. His latest record comes in the form of a Juicy J-assisted remix for his second hottest single, “Females Welcomed.” Nothing too special [...]

The XXL Freshmen ’13 activities are finally coming to an end, but not before their mixtape, arguably the most memorable portion of the campaign. DJ Drama hosts it as a special Gangsta Grillz edition. All 10 freshmen deliver exclusive material for a project that is worth bumping. Who doesn’t want something new out of Action [...]

The second XXL cypher has Kirko Bangz, Trinidad James and Schoolboy Q over a V12 The Hitman production. This one won’t blow you away like the first cypher did (or maybe it didn’t, but it was good), but it does give some more hope to Kirko and Trinidad as they spit some good lyrics. Schoolboy [...]

Mach Five and Trinidad James worked together on one of the stand out records from Art Rap earlier this year. They one-up that record with “Pimp Scholar,” from Mach’s upcoming We Ballin’ soundtrack. Their short film is coming later this year. In additional to the duo sounding great, Trinidad provides one of his most listenable [...]

James heads back to his home country of Trinidad to shoot a dope ass video for the fan-favorite “Females Welcome.” The festive visual doesn’t present many ratchet scenes like his widely popular video for “All Gold Everything,” but the XXL Freshmen does show off his native Caribbean country’s Carnival celebration. Don’t Be S.A.F.E. is available [...]

Let the discussions begin. XXL has released the cover for their annual Freshmen class. This year is bound to spark up just as much debating as every other issue. So, here’s my thoughts: The wildcard choice is obviously Logic, a Maryland born rapper who falls in the same category of Macklemore’s success at his time [...]

Looks like Nardwuar is going to be making this week his week with interviews. His latest one features Def Jam’s Trinidad James. The “All Gold Everything” rapper discusses his favorite food and various Atlanta foods, Beer & Tacos events in Atlanta, working at the waffle house by Onyx and his jobs at South Lake mall, [...]
