Last Thursday, Peedi, Jakk Frost, and Free brought the ruckus in Philly and delivered their set of bars over an M.O.B.B. instrumental during Duck Down’s 15th Anniversary show. It’s the real.

Last night Nicki was in my neck of the woods for the D.C. leg of her Pink Friday tour. Above she makes her entrance reciting verses off your favorite radio tunes. Hey, the bass was high, but her verses turned me on and her pants were mighty fitted, uh, damn!

Tony Yayo hit up Shade 45 yesterday and chopped it up with DJ Whoo Kid. Always an entertaining interview, Yayo speaks on Fif’s recent movie deal, Bucks tax troubles and more. Below he weighs in on T.I. recent jail situation and Bieber’s alleged assault incident. mf

After Nashville Friday night, Bobby Ray made his way back to his hometown last night at Emory University’s Homecoming and brought out T.I. and Playboy Tre to recite track five off The Adventures Of Bobby Ray. The whole gang’s here.

No telling where this track will end up at, but Pinero swung through Harlem recently to shoot the visuals for it. P’s got bars and uh, he’s swinging on them too. sermon

Happy born day Drizzy. Aubrey turned 24 today, but on Friday night the festivities started early during his set at Powerhouse in Philly. Before, October’s Very Own jumped into “Say Something”, he received champagne, a cake, and a wet one from Nicki Minaj. Lucky bastard. Previously: Rick Ross Brings Out Freeway | DJ Drama & Meek Mill

With Rozay featured, Lex Luger uses his trademark drums for the first single off Rocko’s upcoming project Rocko Dinero. This hit the ‘net yesterday with tags, but here it is without. os
