MelD Joe invests in himself on this new track. J.Cardim on the beat. Budden’s heart on his sleeve. OS

Hip-Hop Gods send us an angel. Ha. Ok how bout a nigga from Nawlins who spits like he’s Nas’ cousin? “Exhibit C” was the adrenaline shot for a nation of disgruntled rap fans who feel they don’t have to monetarily support our culture because 90% of the music isn’t good enough. Well they copped Jay’s shit. On iTunes. Everybody did it with a deal, Elect did it without one. From Tony Touch snippet to Morning After With Angela Yee world […]

Al Green’s main man behind the boards passed away today. Very sad.

As Katrina preps for her fifth LP Amazin’, she snags Diddy and Ms. Keri for her first single. Who needs a high roller? She’s got her own money, honey. UHTN x Splash

Straight outta Inglewood, California comes newcomer, Kida. Dope sample and even doper line up. Check it out, I’ll holla.

Justin is still cleaning out his Baseline Studios and look what he came across. An early take of Mouse’s big breakthrough hit. Of course, he isn’t given us the whole thing. Don’t you kids know by now, Mr. Smith is the Snippet King. SMH. 2DB Sidebar: Warning! Turn your volume down if you wanna hear all about why Jump Off dumped his post-Tahiry jump off. Riveting stuff.

It’s a no brainer. Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 takes the gold for best album of 2009. Let’s talk facts: Last summer, Hov’s “D.O.A.” eradicated Auto-Tune while “Empire State of Mind” rejuvenated everyone’s spirits in the fall. Meanwhile, Kid Cudi’s melodies buoyed “Already Home” and “A Star Is Born” introduced us to one of the game’s promising upstarts. Elsewhere, Jigga found solace on “Real As It Gets” but still took time out to address you “Haters”. Just another great template from Roc’s […]

I remember beggin’ Envy for this before Santa came down the chimney. SMH. Nevermind. Get your hard bottoms out. This that after work black folk Shark Bar shit. I see you dancing! Plays pretty much the same as the original with two lil’ J-to-tha-Mwah verses thrown on top. Insert ‘Kiss laugh which is slightly better than mines. Props: LowKey Via Splash
