Bun B just gave away an album track featuring none of than Drizzy, in celebration of getting his 20,000th follower on twitter. Even though it reminds me of Rick Ross’s classic “Hustlin”, the two are produced by different producers (Boi-1da & The Runners respectively). The chorus even reminds me of Drake’s Continue Reading

The Roots – The Fire feat. John Legend (Video)
The second single from The Roots’s new album, How I Got Over, finally got a video (it’s more like a short film than a music video). I kind of expected ?uestlove, Black Though and co. to pop up during the video. Anyways I’m not gonna spoil it. Enjoy! Video directed Continue Reading
Lupe Fiasco – B.M.F. (Building Minds Faster) Freestyle
Hearing Lupe go in over Rick Ross’s “BMF” was an enticing prospect that unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype. While Lupe destroyed numerous beats on his last outing on the mixtape circuit, he just sounds lost on this beat. It’s a shame because this could have been something so Continue Reading
T.I. – Got Your Back feat. Keri Hilson (Video)
Any music video with Keri Hilson in is a winner, in my honest opinion! Good to see T.I. back at it as he’s an artist that normally makes good albums (T.I. vs T.I.P. not included). “Got Your Back” is taken from T.I.’s forthcoming album King Uncaged which will be released in September. No word on Continue Reading
Ty – Don’t Cry (Video)
It is nice when every so often we are reminded that there is more to Hip Hop than most people would have you believe. TY is one of those artists that reminds us of this and he does it with a big helping of soulful beats and a laid back Continue Reading
Nicki Minaj – Your Love (Video)
Nicki Minaj’s Bilboard chart topping single, “Your Love” finally gets a video. Funny how as an artist known for her raps and punchlines that her first number 1 features more of her singing than her spitting talents. This is a better song than “Massive Attack”, so no surprise that it Continue Reading
Chiddy Bang – Dream Chasin’ (Video)
After previously dismissing the duo as another act not worth my attention, I have since learnt to eat my words. The Air Swell Mixtape was something well worth downloading and here again the duo prove that they are not just another one hit wonder. Xaphoon went in on the beat Continue Reading
DJ Green Lantern & Jay-Z Creative Control (Mixtape)
This deserves a download off the names involved alone. For those of you that are not are not familiar with Green Lantern he used to be Eminem’s tour DJ as well as Jay-Z’s tour DJ. Green originally intended to release a Jay-Z mixtape in 2006 but that never materialised, fast forward a Continue Reading
Waka Flocka Flame – Hard In The Paint (Video)
Lex Luger is a beast, simples. Not only is he the producer behind Rick Ross’s “BMF” but he also produced this banger by Wacka Flocka Flame. Wacka previously said that an album isn’t his main focus, but judging by his first two singles it will be interesting to hear his album. Video Continue Reading
OJ Da Juiceman – Party Started feat. Verse Simmonds (Video)
Probably one of the best tracks from OJ Da Juiceman’s O.R.A.N.G.E. mixtape finally gets a video. Not much to report here, except that if you like “Party Started2 then download the O.R.A.N.G.E. mixtape for FREE from DatPiff. Video directed by Rainman LTD.
