“Text message from Elliott sayin’ tape is dope.” It’s hard not to be bias on this one. With my encouragement, Wale returned to his mixtape roots after his debut album, Attention Deficit didn’t ignite. Be clear: We shut the Internet down on Aug. 3, 2010 when More About Nothing, the super sequel to 2008’s Mixtape About Nothing dropped. Seinfeld samples still intact and the raps are sharp. Mr. Folarin tackles his adversity on the opening rockers (“The MC” and “The […]

[vodpod id=Video.5261206&w=425&h=350&fv=] With Late Nights & Early Mornings arriving next month, Marsha puts together a motion picture for her second single produced by Just Blaze. What a flick and an ending. No spoilers here.

Kings get remembered in time. Good thing Big K.R.I.T. left his mark last year with his mixer, K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. With respect to David Banner, Mississippi’s an uncharted territory. But K.R.I.T. brings listeners to his neck of the woods with backwood cuts like “Country Shit” and “Hometown Hero”. As far as collaborations goes, he holds his own on the standout “Glasshouse” with Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa. Then on the spaced-out, “Moon And Stars”, his melodic harmonies constellate with Devin The […]

Cory Gunz appeared on Shade 45 this morning with Sway and Heather B. During his interview, he spoke on Rick Ross swiping his album title, God Forgives, I Don’t. Let us pray. Bonus: Like father, like son. Peter and Cory Gunz Freestyle!

Hard work pays off. And after six weeks, Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday, has clocked a million units. Salute. Salute. She also becomes the first New York rapper since Lloyd Banks to go platinum with a debut album. hhnm

CyHi Da Prynce has been dealt a good hand. Not only is he signed to Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music, but his latest mixtape, Royal Flush proves that he’s not bluffing around. Da Prynce’s majesty lies in his clever wordplay. He does this throughout on tracks like “Sideways”, “Hero” and “So Original.”  Another key component is his subject matter. Want drama? Well, he’s got a “Bunch Of Rounds” for that ass. For all the Playboy bunnies, live “Like A Swinger”. And for […]

In two days, Ashley Outrageous will drop off her mixtape, The Playlist Vol. 2 and here is it’s latest offering from Killa Kyleon over the soulful Sade sample.

Who’s up for a drink or two? Better yet, here is something even smoother from some of the game’s rising stars. nr

Guess smokin’ out wasn’t the only thing Snoop & Wiz were up to in the lab last week. Here’s what they were cookin’ up and it sounds like we got another smoker’s anthem. Yea, it’s that good. 2db Sidebar: Snoop talks about the new track on UStream.

After announcing the title of his next LP, Rozay keeps the excitement going with another new track and once again, he rhymes with Wale and Meek Mill. Is this a sign? Either or, this should have the Internet in an uproar.
