There’s a new guy in town. And in support of his Definition Of Fuck Shit 2, Alley Boy hits the mean streets of Chicago for his new video. Come fuck with him if you wanna.

The hardest moment on Drake’s Take Care comes courtesy of him as he turns an obscure gospel sample (sung over by a live choir) into a musical masterpiece. MCs would kill to spit […]

Busta’s protege gives a visual interpretation to Drake’s instrumental. Blessings be upon The Conglomerate.
