F.A.B. sure has some talent. And while on his European adventure, he stopped by Tim Westwood’s show and kicked a 9 minute freestyle over various beats. Oh, nice E-40 impression too. Previously: “HHC Freestyle“

[vodpod id=Video.16081610&w=540&h=350&fv=] MTV kicks off their Hottest MCs In The Game list today. And beating out J.Cole for the number 10 spot is Wale. Wait, they said Cole ain’t hot? You believe that shit?! The Washington D.C. rapper reinvented himself in 2011, claiming a new space in the hip-hop stratosphere after a sound, but commercially disappointing, debut two years earlier. Wale’s tireless work ethic, along with a deal from Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group, were the keys to his success […]

Rappers never retire. And apparently, R&B singers don’t either. A few weeks ago, Jazmine Sullivan revealed via Twitter that she’s working on her third album. Over a year ago, the singer said she was taking a break from the music industry. Welcome back, welcome back, wel—come back.
A$AP Rocky held a sold out show last night in Atlanta. During a meet and greet, he spoke with Maurice Garland for an, um, interesting, interview. How, prolific.
Right before the big show, Toure got the chance to speak with Common on the red carpet. During their conversation, he says that he’s waving the white flag concerning his beef with Drake. When it’s over, it’s over. dajaz1

Killer Mike and his pals unleash the beast with the first offering off his collaborative project, R.A.P. Music (Rebellious African People’s Music) with producer El-P. Damn, this is pretty sick. dgb
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.
