“We all know the strong puts it on the frail.” This slipped my radar but the DITC OG, Diamond comes through with a dope new one. Beat is tough and the bars are still sharp. Pay attention, young’ns. Directed by Emil Moller.
After some scandalous tweets, Havoc from Mobb Deep just issued this statement to Rap Radar: “Just getting back into NY after my Easter weekend with family and friends in Jersey. I left my phone at a gas station yesterday evening while on my way to Jersey after a glorious Knick’s game. To all Mobb Deep fans: it’s business as usual! It’s Mobb Deep all day!!!

Poe Boy Music Group’s princess is back at it again. Bri and Ghost get their Wale and Big Sean on with their take of this Ambition track. B.B.B.G. Mixtapes dropping 5.28.12.
Just when you thought this week’s rap Radio Wars were simmering down, Clue closed his show Friday with a response to Funk Flex. The saga continues. UPDATE: Flex fires back. Mommy, make it stop.
Just when you thought things were ending, the OF crew closed the show with a big bang. From “Radicals” to “Earl” to their new posse cut “Oldie.” Better than “Triumph”? Hey, don’t give B.Dot a heart attack. Ha!
Of course, the OF leader had to get his. Here’s performances of Goblin‘s two biggest songs. T U!
Earl’s return wasn’t the only highlight at OF’s show last night. Frank Ocean also appeared, joining Tyler for his “She” and later, hoppin’ behind the piano to perform “White.” The latter is off that OF Tape Vol. 2 in stores now.
Flex snatched DJ Clue’s Nicki Minaj exclusive and he’s got something to say about it. Radio Wars ’12. The saga continues.
Casey wasn’t the only one checking in during the Rap Radar celebration this past Friday at East Village Radio.

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.
