Dr. Dre Ft. Jay-Z – Under Pressure–(Dope or Wack?–PREV & DWNL)
I once said in conversation with a friend, that the Dr. Dre album Detox, “…was a myth, and the Hip Hop version of the Loch Ness Monster or Big Foot.” Funny thing is that comment was first said 7 years ago, now I find myself listening to a song that was promised to be released [...]

Tef Poe – Show Stealers
Didn’t I tell you my city (St.Louis) had a gang of MC’s ready to blast off? One of em’ goes by the name of Tef Poe. If you don’t know much about this cat then this video will sum it up for you – Tef’s a Show Stealer. If the marching band energy and beat in this video doesn’t give you the push to get out your seat and bounce, then somethin’ must be wrong.
*New Artist* D-Man – Back To The Future: Return To The Past (Mixtape)
D-Man, hailing from Massachusetts, is really an MC worth checking out. For some reason, maybe due to D-Man’s relentlessness, I went ahead and download “Back To The Future”. Pleasantly surprised!
*New Artist* Family Affair – Sunshine (PREV & DWNL)
I’ll admit I’m late to join the blunt smoke and trunk rattling beat bandwagon (hides my head in shame), but that didn’t hinder the hype that came once my Inbox was pumping out “Sunshine”.
Fashawn – Ode to Illmatic
Fresno, California native Fashawn drops the mixtape “Ode To Illmatic” as a homage to the 1994 Nas classic. Talib Kweli guest appearances on Life’s A Bitch.
King Mez x Commissioner Gordon – The Paraplegics
Fresh off a link via the homies over at Likuid Nation. Never heard of King Mez before this but I’m an instant fan after hearing “Blow”. With dope production and rhymes from start to finish, this download is a no-brainer. Head over to DjBooth by clicking the link above and take a listen and download. You won’t be disappointed.
Rah Digga – This Ain’t No Little Kid Rap (PREV & DWNL)
Digga puts wack rappers right in her cross-hairs as she clearly separates the pack and stands out as the hunter not the hunted. Stay on top of that food chain Digga.
*New* SLUM VILLAGE – FASTER w/ Instrumental (PREV & DWNL)
For whatever reason I searched for “Vill…” in my inbox and before the search finished BLAM this gem popped up in my inbox. The Hip Hop gods shine down upon us! Ahhhh just what I needed, new music from Slum Village. This laid back joint is just what the Summer ordered; I’m not sure who [...]
VH1’s Behind The Music: DMX
Earl Simmons aka DMX
From a early life riddled with drugs and violence to an even tougher life which was later filled with multiple visits to jail, a sporadic music career and countless other issues, we’re lucky that DMX is even alive today. From his hey days as one of the most emotionally intense rappers to ever grace a mic, [...]
Rappers should learn from Mos Def
Does the mainstream Hip Hop culture see lyrics as anything of value these days? Do the collective artists that sell millions of albums, millions of ring-tones, singles, you name it, really care about the culture? Is lyricism on commercial radio something of the past? And more importantly, what the hell is a Waka Flocka?
Vikter Duplaix – Electric Love
Never heard of Vikter Duplaix before but from his bio on wiki (below) the guy has some great credits to his name. Ran up on the new video ‘Electric Love’ and became an instant fan of Vikter. Peep the video below and maybe you’ll be a fan too. Comment below and let us know what [...]
