Back in December, The Officer performed in Wyclef’s homeland. WSHH just released some behind the scenes footage, but I prefer the clip above that I found on YouTube. Pretty sure, this won’t be the last time we see a rapper perform there.
Here’s some mo’ flicks of Weezy and The World’s Most Dangerous Group (ha!) creating the video for “Roger That”. While in Miami, they actually shot another visual to “Girl I Got You” too. Happy happy joy joy! Lil Wayne HQ

According to Billboard, Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are revamping the global anthem, “We Are The World”. The record was recorded 25 years ago in support of Africa relief. Coincidentally, the rehash comes in the wake of last week’s earthquake in Haiti. The tandem are recruiting talent from Grammy weekend to participate. So far, invited guests include Usher, Natalie Cole, and John Legend. Surely, more to come.
What more can I say? Jay Elect and RR get top billin’, chumps. Ride with us or collide with us. Ha!
A gang of rap all-stars came out to support Phife from A Tribe Called Quest’s battle with diabetes. Jeru, Dres, KRS-One, Busy Bee, Greg Nice, you name it. But rap’s new phenom really shined with his stellar set. It was Jay Elect’s house as he brought out Talib and Mos for everyone’s favorite posse cut. One mo’ time! And oh yeah, fuck a watermark, I shot this and if you steal my footage I want 700% or I’m gonna out […]

“Nick, do you see that cab? It’s available” After interviewing the Mob Squad, Nick takes the elevator downstairs in hopes to catch a ride with Jay-Z. When Nick finally makes it downstairs, Jay leaves him. So did Jeezy. So did Trey. With friends like these, who needs enemies. Ha! YK2
Chuck T graces the front of this week’s edition of Rolling Out. The feature is available to read here and carries the headline “No Mo’ Drama”. No drama, from Game? Psssh, yeah right. HHNM
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
