Here’s the other half of The Source‘s Summer issue. Clearly, Luda’s got his eyes on the prize.
[vodpod id=Video.3753131&w=425&h=350&fv=] On Monday, Gorilla Zoe performed his new single “Get Off Me” for the first time at Primal Atlanta. Sounds good. Infectious even.
Ricky stopped by The FADER‘s office and recollected on some of his favorite albums. Suprisingly, he cites Mary J. Blige’s What’s The 411? Curtis Mayfield’s Superfly and Jodeci as must haves. R&B thugs all need hugs.
Sometime last night, Drake’s debut, Thank Me Later finally erupted onto the net. But out of good faith, we won’t post the remaining tracks. Support hip-hop June 15th, cheapskates. Anyway, as part of Walmart’s Sound Check series, Drizzy spoke on the album and revealed that “Unforgettable” was his favorite track. tss
Jail must’ve reinvigorated Gucci Mane’s personality. This morning he gave a hilarious interview with Angela Yee on Shade 45. He spoke on fat asses, probation restrictions, new label, and oh yeah, fat asses. Listen up. Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:
“You got the power to let power go?” Guess who’s bizack. Good mornian! Shots fired at SNL. Produced by S1 and Mr. West. hhp x kwp Sidebar: Beewirks IDs break. UPDATE: CDQ and art courtesy of George Condo.
Last night, Cliff continued his promo rounds and stopped by The Mo’Nique Show to promote King Uncaged and his flick, Takers. Nothing new discussed except more jail talk. After the jump, 8Ball & MJG perform “Bring It Back”. yardie
Killer Mike’s one of the best around. But this leak from Pledge Allegiance To The Grind 3 finds him drowning behind Flying Lotus production. Throw ’em a life preserver. Previously: Grandma’s House
“Revolution” wasn’t the only track Cudder premiered during his show in Oregon last Saturday. Above he gives the crowd an acapella which could possibly be the new track, “Mr. Rager”. Roger, that. dnc
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.
