In the clip, Raekwon’s shot another video for “New Wu” featuring Method Man and Ghostface Killah. This time around, Dennis couldn’t make it so Noreaga, Teyanna Taylor and Joell Ortiz got their close up’s instead.

In a recent interview with Billboard, Fif says that rappers are too focused on record sales.
“I think hip-hop in general has
changed dramatically based on artists reaching for other people. If
you look at the artists out there, I think they’re a reflection of
what was rock’n’roll. In general, they’re doing a style that isn’t
hip-hop. They’re doing things that aren’t traditional at all. What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is
dwindling away. I’d like to be a representation of that, because
there isn’t much of that left. I think people are so conscious of
the numbers they’re not being creative anymore.”

It’s been 24 month since Stack Bundles was murdered in the lobby of the Redfern Housing projects in Queens. Commemorating his passing, Karen Civil poured out a lil’ liquor with some of his Stacks’ closest colleagues and father, Raymond Elliott.
“I’ve been avoiding saying anything for interviews, but I’m proud of him. Really, really proud he was born with that gift, that light. All through his life, I knew he could do whatever he wanted to do,” said the elder Elliot. “He was my first born, my baby, a beautiful child who never had any ill will against anyone. I made a commitment to put the best album out I can for him.”
Chea!




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.
