So after all this foolery, I just got a press release saying Ri-Ri’s album is called Rated R. Yup, the same info leaked months ago. The fine folks at IDJ deny that the image above is the final cover. Isn’t it time for the single already?

We are working on Relapse 2 pretty heavily. As of yesterday, we’ve done about six or seven records. I go back in with him in a couple of weeks and do three or four more maybe. I’ve been quietly […]
Yup I don’t fuck with dude’s Obama diss, but hey new rap is new rap, and I got a job to do. In case you missed it Sunday night, Peter Rosenberg had an action-packed hip-hop show which included new material from Scooter Braun’s property. Hate it or love it, this white dude can still flow.
Not gonna lie, this got me a lil’ amped. Ri-Ri season begins. But be clear, this ain’t the single. Shaffer got the first look. Written by Ne-Yo, “Russian Roulette” is due in a few hours. Prepare yourselves, Internets. Spotted: PDS Sidebar: Chris Brown’s gonna be on Angie Mar manana. Yup, this could be a good week.
This the wrong sport, Miss Katie. Had a hard time selecting which subpar Wayne leak to post today (there’s plenty on the Internets) but then it dawned on me, it’s Sunday, go with the football one. So here ya go, a year late and 4 downs short. I’d rather wait for No Ceilings then decipher through old half-finished tunes that are now tagless. Who can keep up with all this shit? I’m 38!

Last night, Bobby’s ex was on the X-Factor (UK’s version of American Idol) and let’s just say she didn’t bring her A game. Apparent wardrobe malfunction, cracked voice (pun intended), and… the need to make it rain? Yup, you can’t blame this one on Mr. Brown.
At JT Tha Bigga Figga’s charity event last night in Viva land, Timbo “The Jay-Z leaker” came out to give the public another taste from his upcoming Shock Value 2 album. Although the acoustics make the lyrics hard to decipher, the Internets have confirmed the tune’s title. Props to whoever flip cam-ed from the cheap seats. Real recognize real.

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drunk_kan”] This is what happens when a “See You In My Nightmares” video turns into a strange Spike Jonze short film. Now we see why this was shelved. Too bizarre for words. But, entertaining I guess— in a guilty pleasure kind of way. Poor rodent! Props: RLF Nowhere Sidebar: This guy’s my literary labelmate and I guess his book is really coming out. I see you, Malaika!
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
