The hottest rapper in the Rotten Apple (Tell ’em I said that) has his first official radio interview with the Voice of New York.

Part 1: Missed the very beginning talk of his TV past and he pretty much confirms the Jay-Z/Just Blaze rumor is true.

Part 2: Dude praises the genius of Weezy and charms the ladies.

Props to DJ Ness who beat us all to the punch with his 1–2 combo. But like I did with my Kanye West SXSW footage, I like to roll my shit out chronologically so you can get the real feel of what it was like to be there. Plus, it helps me keep better track of these large ass video files. Ha!

Anyway, this is the first interesting segment of the sit down where Kamaal talks about his childhood, losing talent shows in high school and how he got down with the Jungle Brothers.

A big look for Rick Ross’ bawse who charmed Mr. Rose at a dinner to get his shine on here. Eat your heart out, Hov. Speaking of which, Antonio praises Jay as our Frank Sinatra who discovered Kanye West. (Sorry Dame!) He also recalls his time with Babyface as being the guy, behind the guy (pause); bigs up 50 Cent and Beyonce; and details how he squashed the beef with rival exec Clive Davis. If you have any interest in the music biz, take heed to the words of Mr. Reid.

Where’s my ads? Ha!

Interview: Brian “B.Dot” Miller

This June, hip-hop icon Nas and reggae star, Damian Marley plan to release their collaborative album, Distant Relatives. Though the announcement came as a shock, their chemistry proved positive on the mash up, “Road to Zion.” In part one of Double R’s feature, Nas discusses their collision course, his fixation with the motherland, and why a collaborative album with AZ never materialized.

The Brooklyn MC with a purist’s soul, discusses his upcoming mixtape where he lyrically demolishes many of your favorite all time rap instrumentals. The mixtape is hosted by Green Lantern and is droppin’ on OnSmash.com. Sounds like a rap nerd’s delight, so unite! Ha!

Had a wonderful time at last night’s Noisemakers event where Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg conducted a thorough interview with Q-Tip. Got a lot of great flip cam footage on the way. But first, there was a lil behind the scenes drama that needed to be documented. Let’s just say things got off to a bumpy start. Ha!

Here’s another treat off Big Sean’s mixtape which drops later today. You know the student had to touch this tune from the teacher. I honestly had low expectations about this project. But, I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far. Go Big Sean, I ain’t mad at cha. Ha!

“Say You Will”

Looks like Weezy ain’t the only brother on front street. Ray J took the Playboy challenge and had this to say about the infamous romp that made him a household name.

“The memorable sexual experience that keeps popping up in my memory is the time with my ex-girlfriend [Kim Kardashian] in Cabo, Mexico. It was memorable because I put it on my video camera and the whole world is looking at it. I just can’t get it outta my head. I don’t think nobody else can either. It was just a fun time together. We were young, we were both 21 and we just had a good time as couples and just wilding out. We just got down with massages, getting drunk and getting down in the Jacuzzi bath.”

Nigga please. Can’t knock the reality show hustle, but Bush took your booty away. Your 15 mins is up. Ha!
