While in the studio, Al Lindstrom caught up with MMG All-Star, Wale. He spoke on Ambition, Joey IE‘s shift to Def Jam, and XXL‘s Freshmen cover. On the latter topic, he compares the cover stars to the NFL Draft. And when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.

Nardwuar sure made his rounds in Austin last week. For his latest victim, he cooks it up with Bronsonelli and his manager with his bag of treats. Fuck shrimp! Previously: Rocky

Just when you thought things were ending, the OF crew closed the show with a big bang. From “Radicals” to “Earl” to their new posse cut “Oldie.” Better than “Triumph”? Hey, don’t give B.Dot a heart attack. Ha!
Of course, the OF leader had to get his. Here’s performances of Goblin‘s two biggest songs. T U!
Earl’s return wasn’t the only highlight at OF’s show last night. Frank Ocean also appeared, joining Tyler for his “She” and later, hoppin’ behind the piano to perform “White.” The latter is off that OF Tape Vol. 2 in stores now.

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.
