Another lost gem from Lonnie’s Finding Forever sessions. Great lyrics, dope Kanye beat. Why it never made the final cut? Beats me. But he does spit the, “I said I got my SAG card, baby I’m an actor” line from “Break My Heart”. Props: HipHopSince79
On a Def Jam conference call with radio DJs and media this afternoon, Ludacris revealed that his new album, Battle of The Sexes is dropping March 16. Features include Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim and Trina. Let the games begin.

Jay-Z kept telling me, ‘Yo, man, you gonna wanna get in the studio with this guy named Drake. I’m telling you. He’s the next cat.’ I’m telling him, like, ‘Whatever you say. [If] he’s the next cat, he’s the next cat.’ His tone is ridiculous right now. I love his tone.”
Lord. Have. Mercy. This morning, Freddie Gibbs and Jay Rock appeared on The Morning After with Angela Yee on Shade 45. Over Beanie Sigel’s “Average Cat” the pair show why they’re far from mediocre. Gangsta rap ain’t dead, bitch! Bonus: From Kay Slay’s Streetsweeper’s radio (Freddie Gibbs, Jay Rock, Pill, Kendrick Lamar, & Ameretta) [vodpod id=Video.2906582&w=425&h=350&fv=plugins%3Dadotube%26amp%3Bchannel%3D7273%26amp%3Bfile%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestofbothoffices.com%2Fvideos%2Fuploads%2Fb5KROKGwexfQYhJnV3fc.flv%26amp%3Blogo%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestofbothoffices.com%2Fvideos%2Ftemplates%2Fimages%2Fplayerlogo%2Flogo.png%26amp%3Bskin%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestofbothoffices.com%2Fvideos%2Fdefault.swf%26amp%3Bbufferlength%3D15%26amp%3Bvolume%3D50%26amp%3Bautostart%3Dfalse%26amp%3Bfullscreen%3Dtrue%26amp%3Bstretching%3Dexactfit%26amp%3Bltas.mediaid%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestofbothoffices.com%2Fvideos%2Fuploads%2Fb5KROKGwexfQYhJnV3fc.flv%26amp%3Btitle%3Dslay+freestyle%26amp%3Bdescription%3Dslay+freestyle%26amp%3Badotube.title%3Dslay+freestyle%26amp%3Badotube.description%3Dslay+freestyle%26amp%3Badotube.adotubeid%3D8r2EXLA%26amp%3Badotube.omlsource%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.adotube.com%2Fphp%2Fservices%2Fplayer%2FOMLService.php%3Favpid%3D8r2EXLA]
Ricky touched down in the NYC this afternoon to bring Power 105’s DJ Envy the world premiere of “Mafia Music Pt. 2” off his upcoming album, Teflon Don. No shots fired? UPDATE: Here’s the clean. Bonus: Ross speaks on the tussle with Mayweather. Ross on the Biggie comparisons.
Damn. Everyone was bumrushin’ Timbo’s show last night. This time, Keri is the party crasher as she takes the stage and performs her hits. YK2

That blog post perfectly captured the raw intensity of Joell Ortiz’s performance at Guz Sports Bar! His delivery of Battle Cry was absolutely electric, making the whole room feel like it was vibrating with pure, unfiltered energy. It reminded me of those high-stakes moments during a intense word guessing game with friends where the pressure is on and every single syllable counts. Seeing such a lyrical powerhouse perform in such an intimate, gritty setting was a legendary experience. If you weren't there, you truly missed out on some masterful storytelling. I'm still buzzing from that incredible night of hip-hop excellence!
