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.
French Montana keeps the Bad Boy tradition alive by flipping oldies into goodies. Here’s his latest offering from his mixtape Mac & Cheese 3. Third time’s a charm and surprisingly, this is too.
Mac Miller was at the Nokia Theatre last night in Los Angeles. He gave another live performance of his forthcoming album’s new track and coughed up the title. Hopefully we get the mp3 soon. 99point1percent
Mac Miller spreads love to his clique on a 14 minute posse cut. Here’s the order in which they appear: Bill The Kid, Franchise, Willy Whip$, Vinny Radio, Peanut, G-Reg, Big Homie, Q, Larry F., Treejay & The Cigarillos, Goldie Glocks, Clockwork, and babyscumbag. That’s a lot of muthafuckas. Most Dope is the family, so respect the conglomerate.

Boaz keeps it in the Rostrum family on his latest offering featuring Mac Miller. Boaz’ mixtape, Bases Loaded drops tomorrow. Produced by Green Team Music. billboard
Mr. Miller reflects on his first encounter with Eminem, working with Bieber and Meek Mills Mill. Mac also speaks on his bond with TDE and mentions upcoming collabs including one with uh, Gucci!
Mac Miller hasn’t been in the music business too long, but he had a lot to talk about on Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg’s podcast. It’s an hour long, but in the meantime, you can download their app here.
<!– Speaking with VIBE on the red carpet at the VMAs, Mac elaborates on the origins of his Soundcloud account name and says that it’s who he refers to when he’s producing. If you don’t know, now you know.
The cash king Mac Miller received the BMI Urban Awards’ new honor last night. The Social Star award is given to songwriters who showcase their talents using social media. Retweet that. Congrats!
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.
