“All the niggas I hated on, I had to look in the mirror and tell myself, ‘I ain’t no hater’.” Mr. Malice in Wonderland chopped it up with Rasha Entertainment and talked about the concept and guest appearances on his upcoming album. At the 2:00 minute mark, he admits that he use to hate on Crooked I and Soulja Boy and shares the times he reached out to both artists to apologize. We forgive you Uncle Snoop.

No your eyes aren’t deceiving you. When I first heard this track, I was not feeling it. But it actually kind of grew me and it’s not so bad. For all you 90’s R&B heads, this one goes out to you. And you. And you. And you.
You love to hear the story again and again. How some young brothers from Boston got together and changed the music game. Shit, I got my DVR set: TV One Presents The Story of New Edition which will chronicle their rise and fall and the launch of the solo careers of Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, and Bell Biv Devoe. Act like you know. 10 EST! Spotted: Kev Nottingham
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.
