Here’s the first release from YG’s new mixtape, 400 Degreez. Not sure what’s worst, YG’s rhymes or this Colecovision-ass beat. Yuck. Project drops March 26th.

While on the Florida Legislative House floor, Rep. Alan B. Williams (D) erroneously referenced a lyric from Jay-Z’s “99 Problems”. Representative, Dean Cannon (R) fired back and corrected Williams, with the proper rhyme. Yep, it’s politics as usual.

This kid is crazy. During Gucci Mane’s performance last week, Tyler, The Creator was choked slammed off stage by security for crashing the rostrum. Later that night, he tweeted about the encounter. How, odd.
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.
