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.
That’s a whole lot of money. Before the final edit of Xzibit and E-40’s video makes it our way, we go inside the money vault for the making. Looks like one big party. Napalm impacts October 9.
Xzibit visited Big Boy’s morning show on Power 106. He spoke on his 6 year hiatus from music, what to expect on his album Napalm on October 9 and the recent leaked track. Oops!
There’s a war going on outside. And while in Iraq, Xzibit crosses behind enemy lines in the video for his album’s title track. Napalm in stores October 9.

During last night’s Rock The Bells in San Bernardino, CA, X-to-tha-Z paid his respects to the fallen regulator with a tribute performance. Rest in power, Nate.
X-To-Tha-Z was recently across the pond with protege Young De and appeared on Tim Westwood’s show. Of course, the duo dropped a freestyle. We see you in the back, Sumit. Ha!
40 Glocc and a gang of his Left Coast compadres cordially invite us to their side and spread
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
