Looks like Hov may have some big things poppin’ on his 9/11 release date. No ground zero. But I hear he’s planning a return to MSG with all the proceeds goin’ to charity. Sure to be a hot ticket if it goes down. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I was at the Fade To Black show and I remember the ground shaking like LJ hit a three-pointer. Ha! Look it up!

Aubrey tells the 1515 Boys, that he plans on re-releasing his mixtape, So Far Gone with a new track called “Fear”.
“I did this song that no one has ever heard before, ever,” he explained. “[It’s] a song called ‘Fear.’ I recorded it when I did So Far Gone
— the first verse and half of the second verse I had gotten through.
But then I just stopped because it was getting eerie. It was getting
where I didn’t know if I could [finish it]. And then the other night I
had a moment and I finished the song. That’s gonna be the last song on
the retail [version of] So Far Gone. And the third verse transitions into Thank Me Later. So the last line of the third verse is gonna be the first line on my album.”

Last night, Rakim Allah performed at the Highline Ballroom in NYC and previewed a new track, “No Man Above” off The Seventh Seal. After the jump, Officer Ricky raids the venue and rocks “Hustlin.”

The Nelly Killer woke up early this morning and performed “Round Round” at Al Roker’s job. After the jump, (with his parents in the crowd) he gives a quick interview and performs “Low.” Can’t buy that kind of exposure.

After talking greasy about his label boss in his Fader cover story, Drizzy attempts to make nice. But…Is it just me or did Fuck Boy Brown’s apology seem more sincere. Let’s see: Make a video that angers your female fans, injure yourself, and have a public conflict with your record company’s home. When’s Drake’s album, Before I Self Destruct droppin’ again? Ha!

The real treat according to numerous onlookers was the ambiance, which included Rosa Acosta dressed as a cheerleader. I’d hunt for some flicks but I’m a married man. No can do. You lose.

Somebody call Tina Turner! It looks like Bernard had a change of heart. When pressed by Angie Mar this afternoon about his status with Shallah, Mouse seemed ready to move on.
Joe: “I think we’re already there. I’m not saying me and him in particular but, the people who need to speak to each other are definitely speaking to each other.”
I don’t know if I buy a peace treaty just yet. Remember: Real niggas square dance in silence.

Yesterday afternoon, Snoop kicked talked football with Sportscenter and dropped a couple freestyles off the cranium. Snoop Dogg: Top 5 dead or alive. Yep, I said it.
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.
