William Yan spotted Kanye West yesterday in the Soho section of Manhattan. No word if he was working on his new album, but Pharrell heard it and told a French publication, “I think that people are going to be in shock. His precedent was crazy, the new one goes even further.” According to ATB, DJ Semtex caught an early preview too and said the following: “Okay, so I’ve heard the first Kanye West joint. I was sworn to secrecy. I’m […]
More than likely, this is off Soulja Boy’s upcoming album, Dre. And for added insurance, Justin Bieber’s on da track. That’s rich. hhnm
Uncle Rush spoke to Rap-Up about his nephew Diggy’s burgeoning career. He applauds him for his honest lyrical content and says his young relative asked for him to say out of his career. Good call. Keep your family and business completely seperated.
From the looks of it, it seems as if Banks is following the same formula: Girls. Car. White backdrop. etc. Nonetheless, here’s a first glimpse from his new motion picture. Previously: Lloyd Banks “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley (Remix)”
So I spent the day with Bun listening to Trill OG and he schooled me on a few things. Does anyone remember this session? Well that night, Drizzy and Bun knocked out three joints: “Put It Down,” which he debuts for me in the above clip; “It’s Been A Pleasure“, which is actually a Bun song with Drake on the hook (No Jeezy) and “All Night Long”. In the bottom clip, Bun explains how the latter turned into “Miss Me”. […]

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.
