50 talks to the 1515 Boys about the new LP that he’s dropping next week.
“That’s why I titled it that. Creatively, this is not even
a mixtape. That’s why I put LP next to it. … My core audience will
understand it immediately, and it’s written specifically for that. I have two other tapes to follow it. Fourth of July, Sincerely Southside Part 2
coming out with mostly ’90s music on it. Timeless music, classic hit
records. Then, after that, there’s a G-Unit mixtape. It’s actually
untitled. I’ll be finished with it in the next day or so.”
You hear that folks, more aggressive content on the way. Check out the cover and tracklist after the jump.
Based on this beat alone, your ban is provisionally lifted. Good use of The Persuaders! sample, Dukie.

In the clip, Raekwon’s shot another video for “New Wu” featuring Method Man and Ghostface Killah. This time around, Dennis couldn’t make it so Noreaga, Teyanna Taylor and Joell Ortiz got their close up’s instead.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Fif says that rappers are too focused on record sales.
“I think hip-hop in general has
changed dramatically based on artists reaching for other people. If
you look at the artists out there, I think they’re a reflection of
what was rock’n’roll. In general, they’re doing a style that isn’t
hip-hop. They’re doing things that aren’t traditional at all. What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is
dwindling away. I’d like to be a representation of that, because
there isn’t much of that left. I think people are so conscious of
the numbers they’re not being creative anymore.”
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.
