Another funny XXL Freshmen with the ladies on his mind, Pill provided me with a quick talk outside the Nah Right/TSS showcase. He speaks on his close relationship with Freddie Gibbs, his hometown barbecue cover celebration and the possibility of DJ Drama crafting the next mixtape, 1140: The Overdose. And like that… I’m gone. Ha. Previously: “Thoughts”
Not all interviews are formal. And you know, YN got that thing on him (Flip cam, son). With Kidz In The Hall providing a cosign, here’s one XXL Freshmen who’s ready to sow his royal oats. Ladies get ready for that Fashionably Late. You are appreciated.
Yela explains why he deaded his original idea to follow-up his Trunk Muzik mixtape so quickly. Look out for the TM re-release 0 to 60. And then, major label deal on deck? Hmm.
Minutes before touching the stage together for the first time in seven years, YN crashed Paul and Koopa’s tour bus to chop it up with the Texans. Thanks for the southern hospitality, fellas. Allready. Previously: Mel D. Cole Reunion Flicks
No Hi-Tek or Bun but Reflection Eternal’s MC performed two bangers off the upcoming Revolutions Per Minute at a Digiwax showcase in Austin. Awesome. Sidebar: I’m back on my postin’ SXSW videos shit with no watermark (Sorry B.Dot). Please credit the Double R if applicable. Ha. Previously: “Strangers” video
It’s unclear whether this is an album or mixtape title, but what’s certain is that Banks has more new material on the way. We’ll keep you posted. HHNM

Cassidy’s been searching for a hit for sometime now. Only time will tell if he found one with John Legend’s help and Swizzy on the beat. UHTN via Perajok

Prior to that, he discussed his favorite producers today and of yesteryear. BoBo
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.
