This afternoon, Raekwon returned to the “Coliseum Block” (165th St & Jamaica Ave) in Queens for an in-store signing of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. Coincidentally, Rae shot “Ice Cream” on the same strip 14 years ago. Literally taking a trip down memory lane, Rae talks about his connection to the Q-Boro.

The Pyrex King stirs things up with La Flare, Bad Azz, and the Diamond Princess. Hate if you want, but this is first rate.

Earlier this afternoon, J.Cole moved a step closer to becoming a fuckin’ rap star. Patronizing the Hall Of Fame music shop in Queens, Cole purchased 10 copies of The Blueprint 3. Congrats, homie. What are you waiting for, clap for him!

Fif continues his promo tour down the dial with CNBC. This time, he speaks on how he switched his hustle. Dig in your pockets, wonder why you’re broke? Cause you didn’t listen to 50.

During Mister Cee’s throwback hour, special guest DJ Cocoa Chanelle brought in surprise guest Raekwon for a quick pow wow. The god sounds dumb happy to have his album finally in stores. He should be. See y’all at Santos!

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.
