B.o.B.’s right hand man, Playboy Tre was in S.O.B.’s last night also and made his presence felt with this introductory freestyle. Not sure if this is part of something bigger, if not, it ought to be.
So, the press release was sent out today for Game’s R.E.D. Album, which is due out June 15th. The first single’s called “It Must Be Me” produced by Pharrell. And if that doesn’t work, the next tune is “Ain’t No Doubt About It” featuring Justin Timberlake. It seems as if Game been searching for the right record for a minute now. “Krazy” didn’t go over so well and neither did “Big Money.” Don’t even get me started with “Shake“. Since […]

After B.o.B. closed out his set last night at S.O.B.’s, the crowd wanted more. Bobby Ray obliged their request and returned to the stage for an encore performance. He kicked a freestyle and followed up with “The Biz” and “Put Me On”. And oh, the fun don’t stop. Below is a snippet of his song “Airplanes II” with Eminem.

Mr. Village Slum came through the spot and blessed us with some flicks. And you’ll soon notice he refused to shoot Charles Hamilton. Oy vey. Still and all: Mel’s my dude. Ha!

You had to be one sorry s.o.b. for missing B.o.B.’s sold out performance last night at S.O.B.’s. Bobby Ray kicked things off with “Haterz Everywhere” and followed up with some familiar tracks and a helping hand from Playboy Tre. Remember, The Adventures Of Bobby Ray drops April 27th.
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.
