Trae Tha Truth, Chipmunk, Iggy Azaela, B.o.B., & T.I. As always, the highlight of last night’s Hip-Hop Awards were the cyphers. Personally, there weren’t any “oh shit!” moments this year, but I took the liberty of bolding the best spitter of each group. Here are the rips courtesy of yardie. Let the great debates begin.

As the sun went down at Chicago’s Grant Park, Danny Glover ended yesterday’s festival and performed Camp‘s opening track. tykidd
Up for a Sci-Fi flick? Well Childish Gambino returns to Camp
Donald and Jay Rock trade verses on a track that did not make Royalty. However, you can find this leftover off the Trigger Happy mixtape. mr. x
While on Tim Westwood’s show, Donald kicks a few bars over Usher and Rozay’s “Lemme See” followed by a verse from the iPhone over Montana’s “Shot Caller”.
It looks like Childish Gambino recorded some extra music for his latest project, Royalty. DJ Semtex recently played a new record featuring Prodigy that did not make the final cut. Too bad, because this one sounds pretty good.
Mr. Glover returned to London and spent his mixtape release day on stage for a sold out crowd at XOYO. Here’s a recap of the performance filmed by AmaruDonTV.
Just in time to make your Independence Day BBQ playlist, Childish Gambino delivers his new mixtape Royalty. After riding solo musically in the past, Gambino brings along plenty of friends and family this time. Download and tracklist below.
“I would hate me too.” Actor turned MC, Donald Glover dialed up Keep It Thoro this past Friday to speak on gaining respect on the mic, working with Bun B and RZA, and finalizing his Royalty mixtape which drops in two days. Peep playlist and whole show here.
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
