Mastermind season has officially begun. Rozay connects with the feature king, Future for a rollicking rowdy banger that makes it clear to the competition that the Bawse is back to reclaim his turf.
Yeah the hair is crazy. The smile is crooked. The gap is wide. But don’t let his appearance fool you. Danny Brown is a real hip-hop nigga.
It’s what you all been waiting for it, ain’t it? It was a long road to an album release date since the celebrated Clipse MC signed to G.O.O.D. Music three years ago, but finally Pusha T delivers. Inspired by 90s hip-hop, this album plays like one side of a TDK 90 mins cassette tape. You can almost hear the hisses, my nigga.
T.I. is a free agent and until these labels get their paper up to his standards, he’s gonna offset the “Blurred Lines” appearances by feeding the underground. And you know The Kang doesn’t roll alone. He’s got a crew behind him. Released this past May, the Get Dough Or Die mixtape showcases a wide array of talent all in business with Mr. Harris.
Yeah we had issues with his major label debut, 2012’s Live From The Underground, but when Big K.R.I.T. returns to his mixtape roots, he’s unfuckwitable. Released in April, King Remembered In Time is the Mississippi Man’s tenth mixtape and he sounds as sharp and poignant as ever.
The white kid from Company Flow and the ATLien offspring of OutKast form a rap group? Yeah I’m with it, I’m with it. It all began a year ago when El-P handled production for Killer Mike’s R.A.P. Music. Their chemistry was evident and thankfully this past summer they officially formed a dynamic duo named Run The Jewels and released a self-titled free mixtape.
This one is quite a polarizing release for the Rap Radar staff. Well fellas whether you like it or not, Acid Rap is the most-acclaimed mixtape of the year. It’s made the Chicago MC, a magazine cover star and the hottest free agent in this business of rap. That’s all pretty good for a kid on his second mixtape.
Like they always do at this time: Meek Mill and fellow Philadelphian DJ Drama join forces to bring you the latest edition to their classic mixtape series. From the jump you know it’s gonna be a grand affair. Y’all know Meek loves an intro and this one includes a surprise guest verse from Travi$ Scott and appearances from two of hip-hop’s most notorious shit talkers Birdman and Diddy. Fuck they little T-Ts too, Puff? Damn!
You know the drilly, my nilly. Them white dudes make better videos than you. Watch Macklemore gets his matador on, interracial malt liquor make outs and more cameos than MJ’s “Liberian Girl”.
Now that’s a big-ass box. Boy that Marshall Mathers guy looks charged. Hey why not? With cameos from Kendrick, Kid Rock, Slaughterhouse and Rick Rubin, this looks like a public disturbance parade.
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.
