During his visit with Sway on Shade 45, Pretty thug P performed a few cuts off

Still on the radio run, Prodigy and Boogz Boogetz hit up Toca Tuesdays on Shade 45 and took charge of  Snoop’s “Tha Shiznit”. H.N.I.C. 3 out now.

Bay Area rapper Locksmith made his debut on Sway In The Morning and tackled whatever beat DJ Wonder threw at him. Tahiry seemed impressed.

Large Pro swung by Sway‘s morning show and delivered a performance. During his interview, he discussed his writing technique, collaborations in the 90s and his most memorable studio sessions.

For Rude Jude’s Throwback Thursdays on Shade 45, Big Boi called in to discuss OutKast’s classic LP, Aquemini. For an album that’s 14 years old, it sure hasn’t aged much. Towards the latter of the conversation, he talked about his next solo album Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors, and recording it in Canada.

Even with Statik out of town, the show continued on thanks to Sammy Needlz. Of course, the freestyles proceeded as well with Troy Ave taking a dip in Beanie’s track. allindstrom

They don’t buy out the bars, they just drop ’em. During their visit last week on Tony Toca’s show, AG shows and proves that he still got it over Hov’s “30 Something”. allindstrom

After ScHoolboy Q hit the mic yesterday, Sway convinced Sosa to follow up with a, uh, “rhyme” of his own. U like that? Sidebar: Chief Keef On Fatherhood

Over Beanie’s “The Truth” and B.I.G.’s “Dead Wrong”, ScHoolboy Q made freestyling look pretty easy with two on Sway In The Morning. Chief Keef sure looked impressed. Sidebar: Angie Martinez Interview

Prodigy made his way to the Shade 45 studios this past weekend and kicked it with DJ Superstar Jay. After promoting his new album, H.N.I.C. 3, he and protege Boogz Boogetz kicked a few bars. Seems like P’s style is more unorthodox than before.
