One of the features off Banks’ upcoming set is the iTunes bonus cut featuring Em. In an interview with Rap-Up, Banks discusses the Boi-1da-produced cut, “Where I’m At”. Make sure you’re at the stores Nov. 22 when HFM2 drops. “Me and Em got a record called “Where I’m At” and it’s crazy. Lyrically it’s taking you to another place. I’ve had records with Em prior to this. He’s been on my records and I’ve been on his album, but this is a unique […]
Nice eye candies. Well before the curtains drop for Thugga’s upcoming album, here’s the visual for the first single featuring Bobby Ray. The Thug Show begins November 30th.
Produced by T-Minus and penned by Ester Dean, Ciara has a new uptempo track that features Mr. Raymond. It’s off her numerously delayed LP, Basic Instinct. Sounds like something we’d prefer turned down. uhtn Update: CDQ ace dizzy
Just a day or so after his remix hit the ‘net, Curtis surprised the audience during YG’s show at the Key Club last night with a guest performance. Fif also brought out Banks to do “Beamer, Benz Or Bentley”. Looked like one helluva YG-Unit party.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, Kanye talks about his upcoming album/film and hiatus from music. At the 6:34 mark, he says his previous effort, 808s & Heartbreak was shunned by the Grammy committee and goes on to share his views on award shows. How could they be so heartless?

It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
