DGB got their hands on this unreleased diss track from La Flare. Based on the references, this was made prior to his fallout with Waka Flocka. As far as everyone else mentioned, chances are Gucci isn’t apologizing. Sidebar: Gucci Mane x Rick Ross “Traphouse 3”
Inspired by the film Paid In Full, Gunplay takes a ride through the barrio with his KJV intact. Logan’s español is almost as good as the song itself.
After nine months of being on the job, Young Jeezy made his first signing with Detroit based group, Doughboyz Cashout. In the video above, Da Snowman calls up to 98 WJLB to speak on his acquisition.
Wayne Brady was a guest on Shade 45 last week and before chucking the deuces, DJ Wonder put him through the 5 Fingers of Death. Quiet as kept, Brady’s rhymes are better than most rappers. UPDATE: Brady was back on the show recently and did it again. He still got it.

This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
