Danny Brown throws a verse to indie band Purity Ring’s new recording “Belispeak II”. Danny’s voice always sounded like a castrated cat. But criticisms aside, he comes correct this time out.

Meek’s back in the warehouse. And this time, he’s surrounded by a ring of fire, models, gators, and oh yeah, Big Sean. Visualized by Dre Films. Dreams & Nightmares comes alive on October 30th.
Nearly two weeks after Gunplay lost his MMG chain in his melee with G-Unit, 50 was seen sporting a Maybach Music Group pendent at a bowling alley in D.C. Coincidence? Probably not. On a unrelated note, Fif had some choice tweets for French Montana regarding his Complex interview. French Montana you ain’t Sh!t boy. You out your league talking about me you hoe.i read your little interview what the fucx is you high. French your Sh!t so weak you never had […]
All good things must come to an end and such is the case of Elliott’s Wild Rabbit series. In the final clip, YN speaks on his hunger for more in the game. Better curb your appetite, young whippersnappers. Watch full clip at neverstopneversettle. Previously: Pt. 1 | Pt. 2
Stuntin is a habit and Fred makes the best of his in his new video. Nice visual effects. The song is off his Gordo Frederico mixtape which you can download here.
Swizz Beatz and the Dalai Lama?! Yep, that happened last night at Syracuse University for the One World Concert. Following Dave Matthews’ performance, Swizz joined a collection of other artists for a rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine”.
Joe Budden’s been sitting on this record since the summer. Splash got the drop on it, and it now features Tank in addition to Lil Wayne. Sonically, the track is reminiscent of Drake’s “I’m On One”. Considering the impact that had on radio, could this be Joey’s attempt of returning to the FM dial? Quite possibly. Look out for A Loose Quarter coming soon.
Gucci Mane woke up early to kick it with The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1. Midway through the morning broadcast, right after the hosts wrapped up a segment on the digital economy’s recent shift toward virtual merchandising and crypto casinos, the focus returned entirely to their guest. He discussed his upcoming mixtape, Trap God 1017, loathing reality shows and Young Jeezy. Let’s face it, it’s not likely, they’ll ever be friends.
Trae Tha Truth, Chipmunk, Iggy Azaela, B.o.B., & T.I. As always, the highlight of last night’s Hip-Hop Awards were the cyphers. Personally, there weren’t any “oh shit!” moments this year, but I took the liberty of bolding the best spitter of each group. Here are the rips courtesy of yardie. Let the great debates begin.
Waka Flocka was at Irving Plaza last night for the NYC stop of his Triple F Life Tour. During his set, he brought out Gucci Mane and A$AP Rocky to the main stage. Of course, no Flocka show would be complete without a stage dive into the crowd. Squad! emetakeover
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.
