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.

This afternoon, Alexa Chung conducted another boring interview with The Nelly Killer. Below is a performance of his song, “Jump”. No Kriss Kross.

The Bad Azz got nothin’ but love for Da Snowman.
“Jeezy is my homie,” Boosie told us on the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, set of his new “Better Believe It” video. “If we wasn’t rapping, we’d still be click-clackin’. I wanted to get on that album bad. Jeezy put me on that Recession album. I owe him for that. Whatever he needs, I got him. Jeezy, I’m trying to get him to do a mixtape with me right now.”
Now that’s a mixtape I’d pay for! No shots, Nipsey.

Why was the Andy Kaufman of rap, rockin’ a sling at last night’s Slaughterhouse album release party in the Big Apple? Guess he really caught that punch on his shoulder. Get well soon, Mouse.

Man, Joell Ortiz dropping “Battle Cry” live at Guz Sports Bar was unreal! The energy in that room was insane, totally beating any boring online hangout or digital trivia session like zoom games. From the second he hit the stage, his lyricism and raw delivery blew everyone away. If you weren't there, you seriously missed out on peak hip-hop culture. Absolute chills from start to finish!
