Before it was shut down, Pill gives us a guided tour of Pink City. For all you outta towners, Pink City was one of the most infamous traps in ATL. Get it how you live, mang.

Ever since Marshall OD’d on “The Warning,” Nick Cannon’s boo has been awfully quiet. Apparently, she’s cancelled all promo for her upcoming album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel and we’re not even sure when it’s gonna be released anymore. Shit, I like “Obsessed” but there’s been reports that radio wasn’t receptive enough, so they were gonna go with another song called “100%.” But after DJ Envy leaked it, they quickly pulled the plug on that too. Sounds like no one can make a decision at Antonio’s house. And I heard MC’s appearance on her hubby’s TV show was pre-taped. Meaning we ain’t even really seen ole girl since Marshall laid the lyrical smackdown. C’mon Carey, let’s go!

Here’s another leak off Dezzy Dez’s album, More Than A DJ. Fitting title for Harlem’s Hugh Hefner.

Peace Gawd. Earlier this morning, Rakim Allah appeared on Good Day New York. Weird, huh? After a brief interview he performs, “Holy Are You.”

Celebrating Rocawear’s 10th anniversary, Jay speaks on the concept behind his Spike Lee directed commercial. Who would’ve thought Hov would sell clothing?
“So this guy, he’s in advertisement, and he’s in Rocawear, and he goes
through the day as if he’s Jay-Z,” Hov said of the concept. “He looks
out the window, in his mind — because he’s aspiring to make his own
Rocawear — there’s a group of people outside and they’re waving to him.
As he walks away, realty sets in. Someone looks out the window, and no
one’s out there. He gets on the elevator, and he’s thinking people are
asking him for autographs; no one’s there. He’s on his way to building
his empire, but he has Rocawear on, and that’s a start. So he feels as
if he’s successful already.”

It’s a slow news day. So why not kill some time at others’ expense. Luckily for us, the folks over at Complex compliled a gang of sound bites from your favorite (and not so favorite) celebrities. If you shift your eyes to Bill O’riley on the far right, I’ll be clicking his mug as I listen to the crappy MP3s occupying my inbox. Afterwards, I’ll follow up with Prodigy in the upper left.
Here’s your daily dose from the pride of Nickerson Garden. It’s hard to identify who’s on the track, but it’s a good listen nonetheless. Ab-Soul, you’ve got my ear, young man.

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.
