Gee, this sounds awfully familiar. Here’s the latest release lfrom Rick Ross’ upcoming album, God Forgives, I Don’t. As long as we keep lettin’ him, it’s going to take a nation of millions to hold this guy back.
Picking up where Trick Daddy and Trina left off, Plies carries on tradition with his new recording. As Nav indicated, this appears on his recent mixtape, and now features 2 Chainz. On paper, his addition sounds promising. But ultimately, Tit’s verse falls flat.
I don’t think you’re ready for this Jelly. Here’s a few photographs from Ludacris’ single‘s upcoming music video directed by Def Jam’s go-to shooters, BAM.
As the world falls apart around her, Santigold sits at the dinner table with a blonde wig and some not-so-tasty food. Peep the GZA’s cameo at the 1:33 mark. Santi’s new album, Master Of My Make-Believe is available now.
With a cameo by Rico Love, Wale, Meek Mill, and French Montana set up shop in an alleyway for their latest flick. Other than a few bike tricks and pretty ladies, the video is standard Maybach flair. Act right and cop Self Made Vol. 2 in stores now.
50’s new album 5 drops, uh, tomorrow? But today, he releases his new video in support of The Lost Tape. The clip is pretty basic, but his leading lady’s physique is far more impressive.
The Roots are back in the studio (as if they ever left), and are set to release their 14th album. Yesterday, drummer ?uestlove spilled the beans via Twitter and announced the title. Intoxicating choice. hhdx
During BET Awards pre-show yesterday, the French Princess premiered her new video. A couple of scenes were shot on E. Houston St, a few blocks away from the Rap Radar launch pad. The song and visual received mixed reviews online, but I am on the fence.
Over the weekend, MTV2 premiered the latest visual aid from upstart, Joey Bada$$. The clip’s directed by hipster favorite Va$htie and follows Joey through NYC’s concrete jungle. The song trails off after a while, but there’s more in-store if you check out his mixtape, 1999.
After a two year hiatus, Keyshia Cole’s returning to the main stage. And she’s coming equipped with a new single featuring Lil Wayne. This doesn’t sound half bad and neither does Weezy’s verse. Woman To Woman coming soon. hhnm
Great breakdown of Statik Selektah’s *Round Trip*! Honestly, this 2023 Mass Appeal release is pure boom-bap bliss from start to finish. Statik really outdid himself with those smooth, jazzy sample flips and turntable scratches, creating the exact kind of laid-back, golden-era hip-hop vibe you want playing in the background while relaxing at Denmark holiday cottages over a quiet weekend. The guest list alone is stacked—having legends like Posdnous kicking things off on the opener "Round Trip (For Dave)" alongside heavy hitters like Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck on "Unpredictable" makes every track feel like a proper event. Even the newer-school features like Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Joey Bada$$ 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.
