Since the release of Live From The Tape Deck last month, Skyzoo and !llmind have kept the momentum going with their lead single, “Speakers On Blast”. Now, they get to pump up the volume with the remix featuring Lloyd Banks and Maino. Turn it up.
YAF strikes again and comes through with new material from Kanye West and Jay-Z. It’s co-produced by Q-Tip with La Roux on the hook. Presumably, it’s off their upcoming album, Watch The Throne. It sounds incomplete, but we don’t count on Hov referring to a dog this time around. UPDATE: No tags. diverse
[vodpod id=Video.4968462&w=425&h=350&fv=] Technically, Green Lantern didn’t put Wiz Khalfia nor Araab Muzik “On Da Spot” like his previous guests, but he did let Wiz spit an impromptu rhyme while Araab did his thing on the MPC. Nice!
Welcome to the world of leaked records. YAF got ahold of T.I.’s collabo with Kanye West and Kid Cudi. No Mercy drops in two weeks (December 7th), hopefully, not a day sooner. UPDATE: Look ma, no tags. Via uhtn
Big Sean wants to be posterized. So much so, he made a song about it. With any luck, he’ll include one with his debut, Finally Famous. That is, if it ever comes out. flex
CyHi Da Prynce stopped by DJ Moondawg’s gig on WGCI in Chicago and while there he let loose some bars over Jay-Z’s “A Million And One Questions”. Pull yourself close to the ground and listen up.
Look who’s off strike. T-Pain is back with some bars over Wiz Khalifa’s track and Waka’s latest tune. Maybe, we’ll find ourselves at the other end of the Revolver sometime soon. “Black & Yellow (T-Mix)” “No Hands (T-Mix)”
All good things must come to an end. And in the new issue of XXL, Dr. Dre says that Detox will be his last recording as an MC. “As far as me going into the mic booth, that shit is over. I’m always going to talent scout and try to find new artists to work with. But, yeah, that’s it. I don’t see myself doing it the way I’m doing it now…” ahh
Kanye West takes the cover the December/January 2011 issue of Complex magazine. The publication also spoke with the contributors for Yeezy’s album focusing on their roles in their Project: Runaway feature. Below is an excerpt from Pete Rock: “I know one of Kanye’s bodyguards, and he told me that Kanye was looking for me. I just grabbed this bag of discs—these discs hold at least 50 beats apiece—and went to Hawaii. [Laughs.] That was my first time ever going to Hawaii, […]
Thank God it’s Monday and Swizzy recruits Busta again for his latest Monster Monday’s freebie. Ironically, this is a good one. Last Week: “Y’all Don’t Really Know” Ft. DMX x Busta Rhymes
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
