Yesterday, Shad gave us a quick story over OutKast’s track, and today he returns with another verse, but this time over this year’s version of “Racks on Racks”. Underrated, June 12th.

[vodpod id=Video.16330989&w=540&h=350&fv=] Hip-Hop’s back on MTV (April 11th) with their new weekly half hour series, Hip Hop POV. The show airs on April 11th at Midnight and stars Devi Dev, Charlamagne Tha God, Sowmya Krishnamurthy, Bu Thiam, and Amanda Seales. But before its debut, here’s the quick promo. Be sure to tune in.

Last night in Gotham, the cool kids attended Hennessy’s #WildRabbit party. Timbaland was on the bill and brought out Missy Elliott for a performance of their new recording. Hard to tell whether the song’s hot or not, but here’s footage from Mikey Fresh‘s POV.

We still haven’t gotten the official audio for the track but it looks like R-Les & Loso are already shooting the video for the new track. Here is some official behind the scenes footage from the set. Sounds like it’s going to be a good one.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for. Without further adieu, here is the first official single from the upcoming, G.O.O.D. Music Compilation album coming later this year. Listen here. Cop here.

For Crooked I’s latest track he takes it back a bit, and samples Prince’s “Darling Nikki” from his classic album, Purple Rain. Crook’s new mixtape, Psalm 82:6 is coming soon.

Uncle Murda is back, and this time he’s here with a new record to get the party started. Let’s hope we see a new album sometime soon.

Look who’s back. Ms. Alicia Keys covers the 2nd annual Global issue of VIBE magazine. The new April/May issue will be hitting newsstands on April 16th.

Earlier this week, 360 held a listening/release party at the Midtown Loft & Terrace for his excellent debut, Everywhere And Back. It was a packed house and later that night, he gave a performance of “Drink and Celebrate” and “What Goes Up”. Download Everywhere And Back for free here.
