Fourth single from DJ EFN’s Another Time dropping March 3rd.

Another one from Slay’s forthcoming The Original Man project.

From HNHH: “Motor-mouthed MC Jon Connor has been a fan favorite on HNHH for a few years, and this Spring he was rewarded for his hustle with a spot on the XXL Freshman Class. Our very own Damon Campbell had the chance to catch up with the Flint, MI rapper, and interviewed him about a variety of topics.Things begin with Connor talking about the various minimum wage jobs he used to hold while trying get big as a rapper, and discussed quitting his day job with relish. Discussion then moved to how Xzibit introduced Dr. Dre to Connor’s music, and was basically responsible for his eventual signing to Aftermath Records.”

Rah Digga grabs Chuck D and Jon Connor for the “Storm Comin’”.

The most lyrical of the XXL Freshmen ’14 freestyles is here, in this third ep.

The last two freestyles and profiles for XXL’s 2014 Freshmen cover.

Connor celebrates his XXL Freshman victory with his first Aftermath branded freestyle.

XXL Magazine has released their official 2014 Freshmen cover. The list of artists included are as follows: Chance the Rapper, Isaiah Rashad, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich Homie Quan, Vic Mensa, August Alsina, Troy Ave, Kevin Gates, Lil Bibby, Jon Connor, Lil Durk, and fan pick, Jarren Benton. That actually makes 12, rather than the usual 10, complete with an asterix that reads “Yeah we’ve got R&B this year.” Something tells us this will be the first and last year that happens.

How did we fare on our initial predictions for the list back in March? Not bad. We got 6 of the artists correct, with Chance The Rapper, Isaiah Rashad, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich Homie Quan, Troy Ave, and Jon Connor.

We were a bit surprised to see Sage and IamSu omitted given their heavy buzz, and we’re sure the Bay is none to thrilled about that.

Our pick of Gunplay was a gamble, but not surprisingly, the political MMG slot was instead filled in with their R&B artist, August Alsina, strangely.

We also knew Riff Raff was a bit of a stretch, considering that he isn’t taken that seriously, but we thought there might have been a ODB / wildcard type angle on that one.

Much love was given to the bubbling Chicago scene; we didn’t think there was any way that both Vic Mensa and Chance The Rapper could make the list, let alone two rappers from the same city with “Lil” in their name, but hey. Afterthought, we would have picked Vic Mensa as well.

Another one from Jon Connor’s Best In The World: Kanye mixtape.

With his #BestInTheWorld Biggie tribute tape hitting earlier this week, Jon Connor delivers a video from his #BestInTheWorld Kanye freestyles project, which hit earlier this year.

Aftermath’s newest signee pays tribute to the late great Frank White on his new mixtape, A Tribute To Notorious B.I.G.

Aftermath signee and another huge contender for XXL’s Freshman list, Jon Connor, kicks off #ConnorSeason with a new mixtape over Kanye West instrumentals. See just why Dr. Dre signed this cat on Best In The World or The Late Registration Of A College Dropout Who Had A Dark Twisted Fantasy Of 808′s And Heartbreaks. We’ll roll with the first title…

Connor gives us the first new freestyle since his Aftermath signing, over Rick Ross and Jay-Z’s “The Devil Is A Lie”.
