Back so soon? Although Meek’s album was released three months ago, he’s already preparing to release the third installment of his Dreamchasers mixtape series. No official date yet, but he claims to have created the “best song of his life” for the project. We’ll see.
For N.O.R.E.’s entire career he’s been a “Nigga on The Run Eating”. But for his forthcoming album Student of the Game, he’s changing his alias to P.A.P.I. An acronym for “Power Always Proves Intelligence”. “Sometimes if you’re lost, the best way to find where you’re at is to go to the beginning,” he explained. “My mother doesn’t even call me Victor, my father has never called me Victor, my teachers didn’t even call me Victor… My name in Lefrak City and my […]
Kelly’s out, but Luda’s single stays afloat with help from R.Kelly and Fabolous. If this is a sign of things to come, then Luda’s reppin’ the right way.

Well that was fast. Not too long after Azealia’s response, Angel retaliates back over ‘Pac’s “Abitionz Az A Ridah” instrumental. Hopefully, Ms. Banks doesn’t take the title literally. This is getting good.
Chinx keeps the coke moving with the Bugati Boyz and French Montana for the remix to his underground hit. This coulda been a contender if released sooner.
The paws continue to be thrown as Azealia Banks wastes no time firing back at Angel Haze’s diss record. If you can look past the soundbite, Banks got a few scratches in of her own. However, Haze 1. Banks 0.

Great breakdown of Statik Selektah’s *Round Trip*! Honestly, this 2023 Mass Appeal release is pure boom-bap bliss from start to finish. Statik really outdid himself with those smooth, jazzy sample flips and turntable scratches, creating the exact kind of laid-back, golden-era hip-hop vibe you want playing in the background while relaxing at Denmark holiday cottages over a quiet weekend. The guest list alone is stacked—having legends like Posdnous kicking things off on the opener "Round Trip (For Dave)" alongside heavy hitters like Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck on "Unpredictable" makes every track feel like a proper event. Even the newer-school features like Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Joey Bada$$ fit effortlessly over the dusty, soulful production without a single wasted verse. Definitely one of his most cohesive projects in years and an easy front-to-back spin for anyone who appreciates real hip-hop craftsmanship.
