“I had coke when I was 12, what the hell did you sell?/I said nothing to the cops, what the hell did you tell?” D-Block’s all good with Clipse and Pharrell’s track. Bonus: Sheek cooks it up over Rae’s “Catalina” and some new heat from Jada. Sheek Louch “Catalina” Freestyle Jadakiss “My Peoples” Props: Splash
Mason plans to drop five mixtapes in one day. Whoop-Tee-Doo. It’s actually one mixtape with versions hosted by five different DJs. Why? Confused? Us too. Heads up: 57thAve Sidebar: And he won’t stop. Clap for him. Pray for him.
“Praises due to the most fly, Prada/ Baby I’m magic, ta-da!” It’s been awhile since we heard new music from ‘Ye. This joint is off Big Mike & DJ Thoro’s latest mixtape, Follow the Leaders 2. Judging by his flow and voice, it sounds like an old unreleased track that got leaked. Still enjoyable, nonetheless. Spotted: UHTN
Truthfully, Angela Yee gave me the tip on this one Monday but I couldn’t confirm. Curtis did the honors in Houston while making the radio rounds. At the 1:20 mark, he claims that Tahiry isn’t the only one in the “Do You Think About Me” video. A reunion with Vivica Fox? He might be on to somethin’. ThisIs50

At the end of the day B, Chris Brown appeared on 106 & Park today before a live studio audience. Rocsi puts Chris through the ringer as he reacts to Rihanna’s 20/20 interview and proves his penitence.
A fellow colleague of mine, Matt Diehl caught a screening in L.A. of QD3’s Lil Wayne flick and he’s waving his thumbs as high as your eyes can see. The following will make you wanna see it too. At the beginning of the film, a title card apologizes for the fact that the filmmakers were never able to sit down and have a formal interview with Weezy, and that he withdrew his support from the film. Well, they shouldn’t have […]
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.
