Devin the Dude might be the only rapper who can make a motivational weed song. On his latest track “What I Be On” he rhymes “I stay on my Ps and Qs” with “I stay on my weed and booze”. Oxymoron or just another man’s way of doing things? Either way, the quirky Reggie Coby [cont.]

Soulstice goes for a more “commercial” sound for his new single, “Forgiveness”, which, we aren’t mad at. Yes, there are traces of autotune, but by no means does he go in T-Pain style, and yes, that’s a Drake sample propelling the hook. But Soulstice keeps it real with the backpackers by adding in a MATH [cont.]

The Neptunes have always had a knack for producing unique sounding beats for thuggity rappers like Clipse and Slim Thug, and Fam-Lay is no exception. Always loved his “Hit Me On The Beeper” – original and Count & Sinden reimagining – but he’s never been able to get that Traintogo LP out. His latest offering, [cont.]

Aight look, MF Grimm hates – hates – when dudes wear skinny jeans. So much in fact that he dedicated an entire song to it, thanks to producer Twiz The Beat Pro, who offered up the track for free download. This is probably one of the more hilarious rant records I’ve heard in a while [cont.]

This is the first single from LA’s Open Mike Eagle, who will release his official Mush Records debut, Unapologetic Art Rap, due May 11th. The album will feature production from Exile, Alwayz Prolific, and Maestroe. Below is the album’s first leaked track, “Unapologetic” (feat. Nocando). These two dudes are pretty fed up about what’s happening [cont.]

Former Shady Records rapper Bobby Creek gives his own spin on Cudi’s latest single, sans the happiness. Actually you can tell Creek’s having a great time here… Bobby Creekwater “Pursuit Of Greatness” (MP3)

As the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s new Roc Nation imprint, the buzz surrounding J. Cole has been pretty heavy. You might remember him from “A Star Is Born” off of The Blueprint 3. Although almost as protective over his music as Dr. Dre, J. slid this little treat out via Twitter this evening. He [cont.]

Donnis gets loose over Kelz’ “Superman High”, apparently still buzzing off his new deal with Atlantic. Donnis – “Superman High” Freestyle

“things ain’t what they used to be/these ni**as in the game is fucking up E’s legacy/cous must be flipping in his grave.” “Dr. Dre ain’t worried about Detox/he sell headphones/getting big Guap.” From a long lineage of music (his Father is multiple Grammy award winner Jerry Long Sr, who produced and wrote hits for Motown [cont.]

“Closed Sessions was THAT SHIT. I got to meet and build with some really great talent and eat some good ass nachos (haha). The record turned out crazy and Chicago is a great place to be. Ruby Hornet is putting together great collaborations, bringing artists together in person the way it should be done – [cont.]

Looks like this is the next single from Luda’s forthcoming “Battle of The Sexes” LP. You can say “Ho” on the radio now? Oh wait, there was always “Hip-Hop Hooray” that made an anthem out of it, right? This track examines the double-standards between male and female sexuality over a bouncy track similar to “Roll [cont.]

There’s gotta be an “Invasion Of The I Wanna Rock Remixes” EP planned, right? Embarking on the third (?) remix of this track, DJ Green Lantern flips it into a bouncy dirty south version, complete with “All The Way Turnt Up” inspired hook. Included in the cartel this time around are each Rick Ross, Maino, [cont.]

Been kinda following this cat for a minute now, giving some of his earlier cuts like “Fresh From Head 2 Toe” burn in the club last year. Billy’s down with guys like Flo-Rida and Trick Daddy, and is probably the next to blow up from that scene. Signed with Akon’s Konvict Muzik and Timbaland’s Mosely [cont.]

Brand new free EP release from Sunspot Jonz and Lucky.I.Am, collectively known as Mystik Journeymen. Billed as a gift for Valentine’s Day, the price is right… download it for free below. Guest shots include the mighty Murs, The Grouch, Scarub, and Kirby Dominant. The Legends live on…. TRACKLIST: 1. Return 2 The Love 2. People [cont.]

Raekwon releases new heat out into the wild with “Pioneers”, produced by Vin Tha Chin, which he’s been pubing loudly on Twitter. Not quite OB4CL3 material, but that haunting spaghetti western samurai flick whistle animates things nicely. “Live as a white man with black skin.” Raekwon – “Pioneers” (MP3)

Not sure where this one is coming from, could be the first offering from Kris’s The Teacha & The Student album due this year, but he shows he hasn’t lost it with an abrasive track and his usual mic blistering verses. Gotta love the mic blistering verses. Anyway, Redman shows up to add even more [cont.]

Say what you will about Cypress Hill – they’ve definitely had their low moments – but when they want to, they can tap into that classic energy that helped them become the icons they are today. “It Ain’t Nothing” is the first single from their April 6th release, Rise Up, their first release for EMI [cont.]

I’ve been on this song for a minute, since about the time Guetta’s album dropped, but lately it’s moved to the back of the crates, as it never really induced the level of frantic fist pumping that I was going for. However with Van Helden’s new remix, he takes it to the limit, with ridiculous [cont.]

Smooth ass beat here produced by the street’s favorite, Statik Selektah, as Consequence goes in, detailing troubles with labels and ladies; references to the Super Bowl and Little Brother’s new album suggest this one is only days old. This is the first selection from the duo’s upcoming mixtape release, “Cons TV: Movies On Demand”, which [cont.]

Well, it may be a while before we get that next Big Boi solo album, or another Outkast LP for that matter, but doesn’t stop Big Boi from carrying on the sound with Janelle Monae latest single. Janelle is sort of an otherworldly, conceptual soul singer who signed with Bad Boy in 2007, and is [cont.]
