Following Cypher 1 and Cypher 2,we have Dream Mclean, Random Impulse, Griminal and Lioness in the latest edition of No Hats No Trainers’ Cypher series. Gotta say that Griminal definitely did his thing over Nas’ “Blaze A 50” beat. His flow and content was the pick of the bunch.

Tinie Tempah – Written In The Stars feat. Eric Turner (Video)
Tinie’s onto a winner with his new song “Written In The Stars”. The song follows his previous hits “Pass Out” and “Frisky” and is likely to replicate their charts success. Tinie has carved his own lane and brought his own style to the mainstream Pop audience and it’s definitely working Continue Reading
The Game feat. Jay Electronica & Swizz Beatz – Higher
WOW. Swizz Beatz killed it with the Bob Marley sample of “Iron, Lion, Zion” and as for the lyrics, WOIII! Game and Jay Electronica on the same track? Yes please!! Better yet this isn’t even the final mastered version, the complete version of the track will also feature Nas! Plain Continue Reading
Kanye West feat. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj – Monster
Wow, Just let the line up on this track marinate before pressing play! “Monster” is the first song from Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Friday offering, in which he will release a new song every Friday from his G.O.O.D. music camp. Oh it gets better, “Monster” is the second song from Jay-Z and Continue Reading
U-N-I – Black Sky (Video)
Something new from Y-O and Thurzday aka U-N-I. “Black Sky” is their latest single to be taken from their newest album, A Love Supreme 2.0 which is out now. This one gets the thumbs up not because the video features Playboy Bunny Model Felicia Gomez, but because it’s a decent song-honest! Video Continue Reading
Big K.R.I.T. – Somedayz (Video)
I wasn’t really feeling Big K.R.I.T. until the his latest mixtape K.R.I.T. Wuz Here was Chopped N Screwed by Swishahouse’s DJ Michael Watts. He’s just one of those rappers that sounds better when Chopped N Screwed. Unfortunetly this is the normal version of his new freestyle over Souls of Mischief’s classic “93 Continue Reading
Black Milk – Deadly Medley feat. Royce Da 5’9″ & Elzhi (HD Video)
Boy am I glad Black Milk is back, especially after 2007’s brilliant Popular Demand. I know that he released Tronic since but for me, Popular Demand was the one. What better MC’s to join Milk on this than two Detroit heavyweights Royce Da 5’9″ and Elzhi. Guess Black Milk’s new Continue Reading
Diamond – Lotta Money (Video)
Before you ask, yeah I did listen to the song-I wasn’t just watching the video. Diamond is supposed to be one of the new breed of lady MC’s and judging by this I can see why. Tthink I first heard her on Ludacris’s “My Chick Bad Remix”, and “Lotta Money” Continue Reading
Dot Rotten, Calibar, Black the Ripper & Mz Bratt – No Hats No Trainers Cypher 2 (HD Video)
This was alot closer than Cypher 1. All MC’s were strong in this cypher but you gotta be honest and say Mz Bratt’s was the best verse. I was feeling Dot Rotten’s verse but when you compare content and punchlines it has to go to Bratt. Taken from series 2 Continue Reading
No Hats No Trainers – Cypher 1 (HD Video)
Mayhem (SAS), Mystro, Mega (SAS) and Wretch 32 take part in a cypher over Kanye West’s “Power” beat. They all go in and the flows are on point, but I gotta say Wretch 32 stand out on this one. Especially since he is considered to be more of a a Continue Reading
