N.O.R.E. previewed this last week, but this morning, he gave the full version to the Breakfast Club on Power 105.1. Even without a bottle, this one bangs. On a related note, Charlamagne Tha God revealed that he will appear on N.O.’s Superthug album. UPDATE: CDQ 57ave UPDATE #2: Dirty Version.

To celebrate the release of W.A.R., Hot 97 sponsored Pharoahe Monch’s concert at S.O.B.’s last night in NYC. Backed by supreme vocalists Mela Machink and Showtyme, Monch performed some oldies but goodies and new material. He also brought out Immortal Technique, Styles P, and Jean Grae to help him out. It was a great show, but if you missed out check out more film below.
This pre-maturely leaked a month ago, but here is the version you will hear from Pharaohe’s album. Not only does this deserve five on the black hand side, but the white as well. W.A.R. begins March 22.
DJ Kast One played track two off Banks’ Hunger For More 2 on Hot 97. By the sounds of what we have heard so far, Mr. Blue Hefner has a great album on his hands for November 22nd. This one leaves us speechless. 50
A few nights ago, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg celebrated his born day on a yacht along the Hudson River. Styles performs his debut album’s classic cut. Roll that shit, light that shit, smoke it. Ah, good times.
It’s less than 24 hours until Ross drops his mixtape, The Albert Anastasia EP. But until then, Styles and Ricky got some money to blow on track number tree. Mr. X Previously: New Music: Rick Ross “Money Maker”
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.
