Juan Ep: “JD came by to talk about a new dope artist he has named Royce Rizzy who you can peep right here. However, the bulk of this 75 minute Juan Ep is spent discussing the amazing career of JD. We start out discussing his role as a kid on the Fresh Fest tour, continue through the formation of Kriss Kross, stories of how he had TLC before they were on LaFace, Biggie and Da Brat talk, and much much more. Great guy. Great episode.”

Jermaine Dupri is back with the first song from his upcoming EP, with help from Ty Dolla $ign and Migos.

Jermaine Dupri discovery who recently dropped club-knocker “Gah Damn”, returns with a new single fashioned after Drake’s “5 AM In Toronto”, but different.

From Migos forthcoming No Label 2 mixtape release.

New music from Rolls Royce Rizzy, featuring a host of emcees from the south and midwest.

Rappers from everywhere come out to celebrate the Illadelph (or their own city). This beat knocks.

And here we thought this was going to be a cover of Dennis Ferrer’s “Hey Hey”…. Instead, J.D. takes a cue from Usher’s “O.M.G.”, interpolating Zombie Nation’s “Kernkraft 400″ which is jacked from The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army”. Confused?

LISTEN: Jermaine Dupri – “I Heard Um Say”

This is one of those songs that we’ll never understand the appeal of, but works in the club every time. Allstar remix video with the white backdrop (c) “Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)”.

Back for its 7th year, the “2010 VH1 Hip Hop Honors” will celebrate the achievements of hip hop with a little southern twist. This year, the showwill celebrate the music, the influence and the artists from The South. Previously announced, Jermaine Dupri, J Prince of Rap-A-Lot Records, Luther “Luke” Campbell and The 2 Live Crew, Master P, and Organized Noize will be honored through performances in collaboration with some of today’s hottest talent. With performances by Bun B, Lil’ Jon, Paul Wall, Pitbull, T-Pain and Trina, to name a few, generations of hip hop will bridge the gap for one exceptional night to set it off with the original style and flavor that sparked and inspired the evolution of this now global music phenomenon. Additional talent will be announced soon. “2010 VH1 Hip Hop Honors: The Dirty South” will tape from NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom and air on VH1 on Monday, June 7 at 9:00 PM ET/PT.

Making his debut as the host of “2010 VH1 Hip Hop Honors” is comedian/actor Craig Robinson, host of NBC’s upcoming season of “Last Comic Standing” and star of “The Office” as well as the hit movies “Hot Tub Time Machine,” “Pineapple Express,” and “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.” Craig joins the ranks of previous hosts of VH1′s annual celebration which includes 3-time host Tracy Morgan, Vivica A. Fox and co-host MC Lyte who hosted the inaugural VH1 Hip Hop Honors show.

Previous celebrations have honored hip hop luminaries who broke new ground and propelled the genre into the true cultural phenomenon that it has become. Last year’s production celebrated the 25th anniversary of Def Jam records, the label that created the stars that pushed hip hop culture forward, including LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Slick Rick, Rick Ross and Rihanna. Rick Rubin, Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen, Julie Greenwald, Bill Stephany, Kevin Liles and LA Reid were honored as the architects of the legendary label.

“2010 VH1 Hip Hop Honors: The Dirty South” is the first time that the show has honored a particular geographic region for its hip hop celebration. The Southern style of music and its artists, have been significant on the NYC-born genre and helped to expand its appeal worldwide.

“In order to continue our efforts to honor the best in hip hop, it is so important that we recognize the South and the tremendous impact that it has had on hip hop music. The southern experience is one that is unique to America and while filled with its own testimony of trials and triumphs, hip hop has served as a universal medium where the journey is shared. Some of the most popular current hip hop artists are from The South. Our honorees opened the door for the southern story to be told, and it is one that continues to resonate with all people all over the world.” said Lee Rolontz, Executive Vice President, Original Music Production and Development, VH1.

The latest from Jermaine Dupri’s new signing Jola The Trunk Boi. Decent club bouncer right here, but we still like “She Say” better.

These cats are coming up in Ohio right now, especially Jola, who just signed with So So Def. A far cry from the backpacker stuff HHS peddled for the past fifteen years, but pretty close to what the XS deejays spin in the club. Mad energy in this performance.

Clinton Sparks returns with an allstar team up of DJ Class and J.D. for “Favorite DJ”, an uptempo club anthem, with Sparks singing the hook. He’s really belting that shit out too… Buy it, or download it below. The choice is yours. Taken from Get Familiar X, dropping in two weeks.
