“I’m a hustler did numbers in a drought/ You at your mom’s crib for the summer on the couch/A lot of niggas suck, nothin’ to figure out/They put themselves in the hole want you to dig them out.”— Jason

Chopped off beginning, Irv talks about how no one moves units anymore and plugs his upcoming HBO show, 160 Varick. The address was the original location of Def Jam and show will be Entourage-like look at music industry.
Will The God show up tonight? Will he address his domestic troubles? Will anyone flip cam it? I ask a lot of questions. Ha!

Spotted: All That’s Fab x Animal
Although Eminem’s new album drops weeks from now, tomorrow, he’s premiering his video “3.A.M.” on Cinemax. But Marshall isn’t the only act hitting the display racks on May 19th. In fact, five of his peers are coming out the same day too. And of course, their videos are sure to follow. So, instead of the traditional 106 debut, we thought of some other networks where they could premiere them. Check your local listings.
Guru: 8.0 Lost and Found – History Channel
Guru’s been in the game for years. And what better way to show your stripes than on a network dedicated to all things of yesteryear.
Fat Joe: J.O.S.E. 2– Univision
Joe could really hit his target demographic if he premiered the video for his second single here. “Sabado Gigante” ain’t poppin’ like it used to.
Redman & Method Man: Black Out 2– AMC
Reggie and Clifford are hip-hop originals. So what better way to validate your spot than after a Humphrey Bogart flick?
DJ Drama: Gangsta Grillz The Album Vol. 2– Fox News
Two years ago, the Feds cam after Dram on racketeering charges. And what better way to stick it to the man than on Bill O’Reilly’s home turf. We got dirt on you doggy!
Busta Rhymes: Back On My Bullshit- BET
Fuck it, if it ain’t broke…

The homie Dre from Nah Right and I have been talkin’ about this track for a minute. Courtesy of Dow Jones from Tha Bizness, here’s the making of the other song everybody loves that Drake’s on. Ha! Instrumental included. You’re welcome! MC’s don’t hurt yourselves.

To be honest, I’m not that familiar with this group. But, I’ve heard good things and it’s time for me to get educated. This joint is off the Gone Fishing mixtape available for free at coolxkids.com next Monday, May 4th. After digesting that, look out for CK’s upcoming album, When Fish Ride Bicycles.

Bonus: FSD got some more info.
That’s right, we broke the news of Kelis filing for divorce whether you credit us or not. So your boy went up to see the girl Angela Yee to discuss the break-up that everyone’s talkin’ about. If you listen close, you may learn some things you ain’t know. Sorry Anthony. Maybe Patti can clean up this mess.

Travel Places is a classic Chef cut that really showcases Raekwon’s storytelling prowess. When I put this track on, I’m instantly transported—it’s like the musical equivalent of going on an epic Tanzania Safari Tours. The way he navigates the beat and drops those vivid, street-certified bars is unmatched. It’s definitely a standout addition to the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II era that I still keep in rotation today. If you're looking for that signature Wu-Tang atmosphere, this track delivers. It’s smooth, sharp, and just hits different. Seriously, do yourself a favor and give it another spin today.
