If this holds true, Hov will be the millionth rapper to render Snoop’s track. Since the release of The Blueprint 3 last September, Jigga performed at Yankee Stadium, celebrated a birthday, and oh yeah—ignored Beanie Sigel. Clearly, Jay’s got a lot to talk about. Only time will tell if he wants us to hear it.

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”raekwon”] By the time you read this, the clip before you will probably be removed from YouTube. So until then, enjoy while the iron’s hot…or until we get another rip. UPDATE: What I tell ya? Shouts to John Macabee in our comment section.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
