From what I’m told, this is La Flare’s first official mixtape since his release from the clinker last March. I wonder if that collabo with Spencer Pratt‘s ever going to come into fruition. Ah well, wishful thinking. Tracklist after the jump.
New York interviews Nasir’s ol’ man, Olu Dara. Father always knows best.
He also raps about you, most notably on “Poppa Was a Player.”
Oh, I heard that in the street one day. Years ago, I was walking down
the street, and I heard his voice, and I asked the guys on the stoop,
who is that? They said, that’s Nas! Looking at me like an old man, ‘you
don’t know about this shit.’ They said, ‘he’s talking about his father
Olu.’ And they kept listening. I said, ‘I’m Olu.’ And they looked at me
like, ‘get the hell out of here.’

Jason told the 1515 Boys that he plans to call his fourth album, Top Five, Dead or Alive. Take that, Mr. Budden! Plus, he only wants to work exclusively with certain producers.
“I’m definitely going back in,” the Yonkers native said. “The D-Block album is wrapped up. I’mma make sure we finish this LOX album, and I’m coming right back at the end of the year. I think I’m gonna call it Top Five, Dead or Alive.
I’m only gonna work with Primo [DJ Premier], Alchemist, Swizz Beatz,
Dame Grease, sh– like that. Have a couple of South [producers], and
that’s it. Wham!”

You read right, in the clip DeAndre drops a gem on ’em for Drizzy Drake.
“What advice [would I give to Drake]? Just take it and run
with it, man,” Soulja said Wednesday in the MTV Newsroom. “I don’t know
if I really had that type of buzz around me coming into the game. I
been hearing about Drake for a minute. You just hear it, like when
people be gossiping like, ‘Man, Drake the truth. He goes harder than
Wayne, man.’ I never really had that. Look what I did. With people
talking about him like that, just take it and run with it, man.”
Spoken like a true O.G. Ha!

Update: And it comes with a comic! *dead*
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.
