Po speaks on his religion and growing up in Brooklyn with the Israelites influence. Jew gotta be kidding me. More flicks from his “Roller Song” shoot in Mexico after the jump. ice
[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”curreny4_hours_and_20_minutes”] It only takes 3 minutes and 28 seconds to watch “4 hours and 20 minutes” by Curren$y and Killa Kyleon. From H-Town to your town, this rings off.
Following the L.E.P. Bogus Boys’ video shoot this past Labor Day weekend, Moonie and Count performed their hometown hit at Adriana’s Club Ballroom in nearby Harvey, IL. Hey, it ain’t where you from, it’s where you at. Don’t Feed The Killaz Vol. 3 coming this Halloween. Be very afraid.
Does it still feel good to be a gangsta? Apparently, it does. Wiz hi-jacks the Geto Boys’ classic for an unofficial Taylor Gang anthem. Put that in ya pipe and smoke it. cod
Lupe gave a lengthy interview with Complex and discussed his Japanese Cartoon project as well as Lasers and Food & Liquor II. And so far, the outlook is not so good. Complex: Are you now actively pursuing the release of Food and Liquor II? Lupe Fiasco: Nah. People were saying they wanted a Lupe record, so here’s a Lupe record, from me, not some dude leaking it. Like, “Here’s a good, solid, Lupe Fiasco record that’s official and that’s from […]

It’s that time of the week again. It’s Crooked’s Hip Hop Weekly numero cinco and the C.O.B. general exchanges his own words over Em’s “Talkin’ To Myself”. Sounds good over that Khalil beat. 2db Last week: “HHW Reloaded 4 (If It Ain’t About Money)”
Yesterday, a song called “Whip My Hair” by The Fresh Prince’s 9-year-old daughter, Willow made its rounds on the ‘net. I pretty much ignored it. But now, word on the curb is she’s J.Cole’s new labelmate. Geesh! Never saw this one coming. Peep Rihanna Jr.’s new tune below. cheleny UPDATE: Oy vey, it’s true.
For a second day in a row, Rozay drops another set of rhymes to an R&B hit. And like the Chef, this time it’s over Miguel and Jermaine’s FM rotator. 57
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.
