Before the San Francisco 49ers win over the New Orleans Saints this past weekend, Future performed his hit, “Tony Montana”. Because, you know, Joe sounds a lot like Tony. Pluto coming next month.
This doesn’t even sound like the same record. Mike Posner and Blackbear give Rick Ross’ underground hit an uplugged makeover. No French Montana verse? Ha! If you like what you hear, download here.
During Common’s interview on Hip-Hop Nation last week, he performed his controversial track. Oh, how sweet the sound. “Ghetto Dreams” below.
“Don’t get caught up in no Throne.” The artist formerly known as Mos Def represents for the have-nots with his interpretation of The Throne’s hit. Too bad this joint ain’t worth a damn.
While at the CES convention in Las Vegas last week, Forbes caught up with LL Cool J. After plugging his musical venture, boomdizzle, he addressed his gripe with the music business. From Todd’s perspective, radio is mostly to blame. Somethings, we just can’t live without. 57ave
An hour before YN signed off, DJ Khaled gave him a buzz. “The Mogul” reflected on 2011, cracking the Rap Radar year-end lists, platinum plaques, and his Grammy nomination.
Common called the Yellowest Nigga Alive this evening on his Keep It Thoro show. He spoke on cracking our top three Best Albums list, Drake and Serena Williams.

Common returned to the game like a prize-fighter after his second wind with his ninth LP, The Dreamer/ The Believer. Produced entirely by No I.D., he kicks off the opus with Maya Angelou and Nas on the ineffable
A couple of days ago, J.Cole added platinum producer to his resume. But just because a song is a hit, doesn
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.
