Stuntin is a habit and Fred makes the best of his in his new video. Nice visual effects. The song is off his Gordo Frederico mixtape which you can download here.

Swizz Beatz and the Dalai Lama?! Yep, that happened last night at Syracuse University for the One World Concert. Following Dave Matthews’ performance, Swizz joined a collection of other artists for a rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine”.
Joe Budden’s been sitting on this record since the summer. Splash got the drop on it, and it now features Tank in addition to Lil Wayne. Sonically, the track is reminiscent of Drake’s “I’m On One”. Considering the impact that had on radio, could this be Joey’s attempt of returning to the FM dial? Quite possibly. Look out for A Loose Quarter coming soon.
Gucci Mane woke up early to kick it with The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1. He discussed his upcoming mixtape, Trap God 1017, loathing reality shows and Young Jeezy. Let’s face it, it’s not likely, they’ll ever be friends.
Trae Tha Truth, Chipmunk, Iggy Azaela, B.o.B., & T.I. As always, the highlight of last night’s Hip-Hop Awards were the cyphers. Personally, there weren’t any “oh shit!” moments this year, but I took the liberty of bolding the best spitter of each group. Here are the rips courtesy of yardie. Let the great debates begin.
Waka Flocka was at Irving Plaza last night for the NYC stop of his Triple F Life Tour. During his set, he brought out Gucci Mane and A$AP Rocky to the main stage. Of course, no Flocka show would be complete without a stage dive into the crowd. Squad! emetakeover
Miguel made his debut on David Letterman’s show last night for a performance of his hit “Adorn”. It’s crazy this song took nearly seven months to take off. Kaleidoscope Dream is available now.
DJ Drama says this was supposed to make the Carter IV. But since it didn’t, here’s the mp3 for your listening pleasure. It sounds a little like “Look At Me Now”, which probably explains the inclusion of Mr. Brown.
At the end of last month, Odd Future held a carnival in Los Angeles. Action Bronson came through and so did Lil Wayne. If you missed out, here’s a recap of the day.
French Montana keeps the Bad Boy tradition alive by flipping oldies into goodies. Here’s his latest offering from his mixtape Mac & Cheese 3. Third time’s a charm and surprisingly, this is too.
Raekwon’s new track “Travel Places” hits different—smooth flow, vivid storytelling, and beats that take you places. Listening while planning a getaway, I couldn’t help thinking about Volcano National Park Lodging. This song makes me want to pack up, book a cozy stay, and explore new spots.
