The man on the moon made a surprise landing in L.A. two weeks ago for DJ A-Trak and Travis Barker’s show at The Roxy. With Cudder on the mic and Travis on the drums, the pair pulled off a dope performance. Pics from the venue after the jump. Dat New Cudi

[vodpod id=Video.3301871&w=425&h=350&fv=] 50 Cent sits in the directors chair as Yayo does his one-two thing inside a luxury suite. Sweet. A different chick in each room? Where do we check in? OnSmash

This afternoon, 106 premiered Usher and Nicki’s freak anthem. It’s one of the few listenale joints from Ush and hey, the video isn’t bad  neither. Raymond v. Raymond in stores March 30th.

According to what Pill says on stage, this is the first time he and Freddie Gibbs performed “Do Wrong” at the URB showcase in Austin. After the jump, the dynamic duo drop “Run Up To Me”. They make a good combination, don’t they?

Another funny XXL Freshmen with the ladies on his mind, Pill provided me with a quick talk outside the Nah Right/TSS showcase. He speaks on his close relationship with Freddie Gibbs, his hometown barbecue cover celebration and the possibility of DJ Drama crafting the next mixtape, 1140: The Overdose. And like that… I’m gone. Ha. Previously: “Thoughts”

Not all interviews are formal. And you know, YN got that thing on him (Flip cam, son). With Kidz In The Hall providing a cosign, here’s one XXL Freshmen who’s ready to sow his royal oats. Ladies get ready for that Fashionably Late. You are appreciated.

Yela explains why he deaded his original idea to follow-up his Trunk Muzik mixtape so quickly. Look out for the TM re-release 0 to 60. And then, major label deal on deck? Hmm.

Minutes before touching the stage together for the first time in seven years, YN crashed Paul and Koopa’s tour bus to chop it up with the Texans. Thanks for the southern hospitality, fellas. Allready. Previously: Mel D. Cole Reunion Flicks

No Hi-Tek or Bun but Reflection Eternal’s MC performed two bangers off the upcoming Revolutions Per Minute at a Digiwax showcase in Austin. Awesome. Sidebar: I’m back on my postin’ SXSW videos shit with no watermark (Sorry B.Dot). Please credit the Double R if applicable. Ha. Previously: “Strangers” video

It’s unclear whether this is an album or mixtape title, but what’s certain is that Banks has more new material on the way. We’ll keep you posted. HHNM
