Let’s face it, Waka was hit with the sophomore jinx for Triple F Life. For starters his single, “I Don’t Really Care” lived up to its name and “Get Low” was just a poor effort. The project did have a few highlights with “Lurkin”,  “Let Dem Guns Blam” , “Power Of My Pen” and of course, the Drake-aided “Round of Applause”. But outside of those chosen few, it was downhill from there. Lackluster cuts such as “Rooster In My Rari”, “Fist Pump”, “Flex”, […]

If you need yours replaced, have no fear. In support of his HITstory project, Hit-Boy has more than enough wattage to light up in his new video. Easy on the high beams, ladies.

I’m starting to think y’all niggas take DJ Khaled for granted. Maybe it’s because the Mouth of The South continues to make amazing all-star collabos look so easy. “Bitches and Bottles” is one of his career best with an infectious Future hook and a rejuvenated T.I.’s opening bars. “I got my own shine/But I want yours.” Khaled has always been able to get the most out of an MC. Who else could motivate Kanye West to spaz out like he […]

If Bandz A Make Her Dance, what will gold do? Today it was announced that Juicy J’s single has struck 500k status. Here’s what he said of his new plaque: “I’m overwhelmed with the success of the single. The fact it’s something I created in a 2 bedroom apartment in DC is unimaginable,” said Juicy J. “Thank you to all the Taylors out there for supporting it, I can’t wait for you to hear the rest of the music!”

With two celebrated mixtapes under his belt, Big K.R.I.T.’s official debut, Live From The Underground had high expectations. Unfortunately, listeners were let down by some rookie mistakes. No one knows K.R.I.T.’s sound better than himself and on Live From The Underground, he mans the boards by his lonely. There’s the commanding “I Got This” and salacious “What U Mean”. “Praying Man” deserves praise, but for the most part, a bulk of the player falls flat.  “Hydroplaning” and “Money On The Floor” lack enthusiasm […]

Wale joins the likes of A$AP Rocky, Pac Div, Trinidad James, Ryan Leslie and more on the L.A. Leakers new compilation mixtape, The 2013 Draft Picks. Download the full project here.

Curren$y loves to flood the game with free music, but last year, he made fans come out of pocket with his major Warner Bros. debut, The Stoned Immaculate. Through the clouds of smoke, Spitta pulls up with a bundle of standouts (“Chandelier”, “Showroom”). He’s equipped with witty lines (“Sunroof”, “Chasin’ Papers”, ) and stands tall amongst collaborators as evidenced by “No Squares” (Wiz Khalifa), “What It Look Like” (Wale), “Fast Cars, Faster Women” (Daz), “Capitol” (2 Chainz), “That’s The Thing” […]

Back on his jacking beat spree, Jon Connor makes his return with his first of the year over Big Sean’s “Guap”. Sounds like Connor’s still hungry for more.

Pound for pound, Beanie Sigel has one of hip-hop’s strongest catalogues. But on this go-round, the Broad Street Bully is at his weakest with his sixth solo effort, This Time. Since his days on Roc, Beans’ forte has been reality raps and he picks up where he left off on cuts like “This Time” and “That’s All I Know”. But he steps out of his comfort zone on “Expensive Taste” and “Kush Dreaming”. Things get worse with messy choruses (“Bad Boy […]

While showcasing his lavish lifestyle, Rick Ross announces the title of his sixth studio album Mastermind. Expect the album to drop later this year.
