And it don’t stop.
The Return.
It dropped on Christmas but Soul Tape 3 is the gift that keep on giving. How Def Jam let this one out for free? Don’t ask me. Just accept the present. This is Fabolous at his best balancing the two sides that makes him one of New York’s most consistent spitters. On “Everything Was The Same”, he takes Drake’s track hostage and provides his own ample bars: “All I ask is for the same respect that I be giving ya/ […]
Loso keeps it sexy and classy with this black-and-white visual. Teyana Taylor cleans up nice. Jeremih gets his Playboy photographer on. And what’s this nigga Fab doin’ with a sketch book? Ha! Oh well. Squat Life 4 Life.—YN

On paper, Yo Gotti and Jermaine Cole may seem like an odd combination. But this captivating vid is proof positive that they go well together. The cinematography here is crisp as we move thru the streets of Memphis, Tennessee. Stlll even on the sunniest day, you can’t take the pain away.—YN
Q just wants to have fun. The TDE’s MC’s beach is better thanks to a bevy of super booty beauties. Point out the bounce? It ain’t hard to find. Being the man certainly has its perks. Paradise is very nice.—YN
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
