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.

When was the meeting when the hip-hop nation got together and decided that we wanted Nas to make an album with one of Bob Marley’s sons. I didn’t get the memo. What’s next? Cormega & The Melody Makers? Although many praised this album when it was released last May, ask yourself the last time you actually took the time to listen to this. No real replay value. This project still feels like a comfy blanket Mr. Jones hid under while […]

Surprised? Oh, quit your jibber jabber. Waka himself would probably admit that he’s no wizard of poetry. But for what he lacks in skill set, his debut Flockaveli makes up for in entertainment value. Produced majorly by Lex Luger, the project is buoyed by hypnotic drum and horn patterns. Ironically, the tracks are more effective individually than in their sequence, ie: the album’s big three:, “O Let’s Do It” , “Hard In The Paint” and “No Hands.” Really, it’s Waka’s […]

Although Kanye said “Watch The Throne coming in one week, nigga” on New Year’s, a lil’ birdie told Andrew over at FSD, that said project would be dropping on Tuesday, March 1st. If it means anything, the duo met yesterday at the Mercer Hotel in SoHo. Maybe they were deciding the first single. Check the YBF for a few pics.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way man. After being jailed before the release of 2009’s stellar The State vs. Radric Davis, Gucci Mane was supposed to further ascend to the top of the Southern rap game after his release last summer. Instead, this past fall, we got this uneven album that fell way short of expectations. Swizz Beatz’s golden touch was missing on the album’s lead single “Gucci Time”. A joint so sucky that Schoolly D shoulda sued. Although […]

Jon Connor maintains his viral presense with a new freestyle. Listen carefully, this guy’s flow is psycho.
