Bandanna and Officer Ricky hop on the remix for their labelmates’ self titled track, “Epiphany”. Label me an R&B thug, but ol’ girls voice sounds like it belongs in the Cotton Club, circa 1940. Epiphany hits stores May 5, MMIX

SRC singer gives true vocal treatment to 808‘s big single. And she was opening fro G.O.O.D. Music’s Mr. Hudson when she did it. I can dig it. 

I see you: HHU

Look who’s cheating on us? Ha! Nah, the more Cory out there, the better hip-hop is. Peep dude cruisin’ through town with Whoo Kid and those fancy Radio Planet cameras capturing it all. I’d jot some of his lyrics down but he rhymes too damn fast. Never tongue-tied, huh? Smh.

“We got Big on the hook.”

Just when you thought screwed and chopped hooks were a thing of the best, here comes Fantasia’s ex with some Southern smoke. Ha! Young Dro drops a lil’ street heat to keep Grand Hustle hot before the impending doom of his CEO going to the clink. Do you really think these guys are gonna accomplish much with Cliff gone? Wish I wasn’t so skeptical.

“I’m grindin’ hard, I almost got my Black card.”

Rich Boy is to eskay as Boosie is to B.Dot. Ha! Here’s a new one from Alabama’s finest. Like most of Boy’s best stuff the hook is infectious. I really hope Interscope gives him another look. Fingers crossed.

Sidebar: I think I hear a lil Auto-Tune in the mix at the 2:50 mark or so. Uh oh, Mark Jackson says, “You’re better than that!”

Roth’s manager just hit me with this. It might be an exclusive but you never know in the land of 4080. Yup, this white dude is pretty good live and his pretty good album drops 4-20. Stay focused!

Ok, so here’s the skinny. Bow Weezy’s in town promoting his new coaster album, New Jack City II and was scheduled to visit Wendy Williams. Instead, he cancels last minute and appears on Angie Martinez’s show on Hot 97. Safe to say Wendy wasn’t pleased.

“Take him to Angie if you want. Blow this show off if you want. Something is about to happen if you didn’t get the memo. Wait til you see how I act…With all his accolades and what not, it’s more interesting talking to a whore.”

Whoa. Was that directed towards Shad or Nokio’s baby mother? *scratches head* Yo DJ, play that back!
