Last night, Angela Yee hosted the big Duck Down showcase in the Rotten Apple. The Double D put it down for all their devoted hip-hop heads. Up top, Black Moon set things off with their classic hit “I Got Cha Opin”. After the jump, check more of their set as well as appearances by Sean Price, Pharoahe Monch, Sadat X, Smif-N-Wessun, and the Crooklyn Dodgers.

Yesterday after participating in a massive Crime Wave, Joell Ortiz woke up this morning with some more bars for all you heavy drinkers. I am sure some off y’all can probably relate to the title today. Produced by DJ Emz. Oh yeah, he works for Rap Radar too. Props: 2DopeBoyz

Wasalu hinted via Twitter that this Thursday, he will announce some major news in regards to his upcoming album, Lasers. I’m assuming it will be revealed at the Remember 2 Smile show at The Congress Theater Chicago. My fingers are crossed for an actual release date or another single. Heads up: SeanTheRobot

On October 27th, C Breezy begins his long road back to the top of the 106 & Park charts. Transformation, complete? Previously: Chris Brown On Angie Martinez

Looks like Alicia’s The Element of Freedom is not dropping on December 1st nor is Mary J. Blige dropping Stronger on November 24th. Both R&B songstresses have their albums pushed back going head-to-toe on their new release date, December 15th. It also so happens to be the date Chris Breezy is scheduled to drop Graffiti. It like it’s going to be one hell of an R&B album release day. MJB and Killa Keys don’t seem too thrilled about it though. I love cat fights. Back […]

Landing in the DMV area this weekend, Mr. Mescudi performed at DC 101’s MTV Halloween Ulalume Festival at the Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD last night. Above, he recites his verse off The Blueprint 3. I heard some people were aggy that his set was pretty short. Howard Univ.’s homecoming is going on this weekend and he had one of many parties to attend. Spotted: DatNewCudi

While visiting his friend’s city for HU’s homecoming, Ludacris shared with the world his weekend digs. That pool table’s no ball breaker. Sidebar: As you can see below from Yardfest yesterday, he also rolls with one of HU alumni’s finest. Jodi, you lost.

Boosie appeared on The Deal a couple of days ago and said it was Drake’s delivery that earned him a nomination for Best Lyricist at BET’s Hip Hop Awards. He mentions a lot of videos being shot, singles being dropped and a DVD I probably won’t cop as he prepares for his time behind bars. He also speaks on Eminem, 2Pac, and how he doesn’t really keep it lyrical in his music. Oh, really? Props: Yardie

Before taking the stage yesterday at Howard Homecoming’s Yardfest, the Thornton brothers make it clear that this one’s for the house of YN and B.Dot. Heads up: EZ

Usually the behind the scenes comes out before the video. Still, this is actually some pretty nice eye-candy viewing here. Cameras catch Ms. Keys on her set while creating her first visual for The Element Of Freedom. Damn you, Mr. Dean. Spotted: Amajanese
