Girl I’m tryna handle my jealously/I didn’t show I cared when you was with me/and now you and him is all I see…

Times are hard in 2009, especially for the determined rap star in an already crowded market. Without a hustler’s ambition, the chances of getting your product out to the public are next to nil.

Playboy Tre is taking control of his career to ensure he has a stable fanbase by going on “Gain A Fan A Day” campaign. And if your speakers are anything like mine, you’d hear the song in the background has some serious knock to it. Read the rest of this entry »

West coast Hip-Hop has seemed to pick up it’s pace again in the last year or so with the help of newcomers such Blu, Jay Rock, and Crooked I being extremely viral with their artist marketing. But it’s the legends from the Left Coast that seem to keep it’s heart beating through the ups and downs. E-40, Cube, and any rapper affiliated with the Dogg Pound have all been present on the Hip-Hop scene in the last few, but one of the crews that have been noticeably absent is the cannabis loving, Latin Hip-Hop group Cypress Hill, who were just honored last year by VH1 on Hip Hop Honors.

Consequently, the group’s most distinguishable voice, B-Real is poised to drop his first solo effort in his 15+ years in the game, Smoke N Mirrors. The album while a far cry from his Cypress days production-wise, still maintains that hazy feel of a room infiltrated with second-hand blunt ashes. Muggs doesn’t show up with a beat on the entire album but the capable hands of The Alchemist, Soopafly, J-Turner and even B-Real himself take upon themselves to usher in the P-Funk.

The group Zion I have been underground stalwarts since they first joined forces back in 1998. With Cali native AmpLive handling the production duties and ATL transplant Zumbi on the mic, the duo strike a balance of social commentary and party vibes on their sixth album The TakeOver. By keeping everything in-house save for a few choice guest spots, the duo keeps the show moving at a nice pace on this succinct and enjoyable album.

Normally when the word diverse is used to describe an album’s production, it either means that the artist got a few tracks from each coast’s producers du jour or continuity is sacrificed for the sake of appearing to step out the box. AmpLive successfully blends together regions and genres of music seamlessly so that the listener’s ears aren’t jarred from track to track. On “Gumbo” he gets to flex his chops dolo, by starting out with a lively New Orleans Brass Band sound before transitioning into an electro/drum n’ bass mash-up. His use of live instrumentation throughout gives the album a warmth that’s missing in most of today’s digital landscape. Read the rest of this entry »

I got together with my dudes over at Pennant Race (www.pennantracegear.com) and created this new mixtape to drop alongside the first round of their Spring 09? line. Their whole entire catalog is sick, especially if you are a sports fan. Definitely go check them out. Even Nas loves Pennant Race! This mix is actually tailored for 2 specific tees: The Garden Courtside Tee & The Staples Courtside Tee that feature Spike Lee & Jack Nicholson (as seen on the cover). So most of these joints are about LA or NY. Some oldies, some new shit…all dope. Enjoy…&…Go Buy Shit! 9 new shirts total.

Tracklisting, download link & more shirts from Pennant Race’s Spring ’09 Line, all after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

A moment of midday laughter, courtesy of SNL. Yes, they’re still on the air, even after the political season has passed.

When John McCain tried to subvert the Obama camp’s momentum by picking a female running mate, a few people huffed about the gimmickry involved in the decision. Obviously, choosing Palin was a fatal flaw in the long term.

The Republican Party apparently hasn’t learned from this mistake. In case you were like a good bit of the rest of the country and decided to ignore the Grand Ol’ Party, you missed the fact that they picked an African-American Chairman. Read the rest of this entry »
