Last night in Gotham, the cool kids attended Hennessy’s #WildRabbit party. Timbaland was on the bill and brought out Missy Elliott for a performance of their new recording. Hard to tell whether the song’s hot or not, but here’s footage from Mikey Fresh‘s POV.
We still haven’t gotten the official audio for the track but it looks like R-Les & Loso are already shooting the video for the new track. Here is some official behind the scenes footage from the set. Sounds like it’s going to be a good one.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for. Without further adieu, here is the first official single from the upcoming, G.O.O.D. Music Compilation album coming later this year. Listen here. Cop here.
For Crooked I’s latest track he takes it back a bit, and samples Prince’s “Darling Nikki” from his classic album, Purple Rain. Crook’s new mixtape, Psalm 82:6 is coming soon.
Jayceon has given us a number of tracks from the tape this week but he finally releases the project in its entirety. Features from Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, French Montana and more. Take a look at the tracklist and download link after the jump.
Uncle Murda is back, and this time he’s here with a new record to get the party started. Let’s hope we see a new album sometime soon.

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.
