Being as that nobody buys hard copy albums these days, the name distinction between mixtape, EP and LP matters very little. Technically Donny Goines’ 20X gets the EP label by virtue of its 6 track length, but the purpose here is to build on momentum, to change last year’s sleeper status to New York cover boy in 2010 and beyond.

What do Outasight and Asher Roth have in common? They’re both phenomenal singers, that’s what! O.K., O.K., so that was a bit of a white lie; Ash’s singing chops aren’t quite there yet. But they both know how to get artistic over a 6th Sense beaaaat y’aaaaaaal!!! Read the rest of this entry »

Prepare yourself for an out of body, inner soul experience of a lifetime. The journey you’re about to partake on requires nothing but your imagination. The ride will be intense but restraints or second thoughts aren’t necessary. The idea is to allow your mind enough liberty to embrace the path you shall embark on. For what is an imperceptible fantasy to the average person, is merely a day in the life of Rockwell Knuckles. Read the rest of this entry »

Damn. Cypress Hill’s lead single from their upcoming eighth album, Rise Up, is not what I expected at all and I mean that in a very good way. Reiterating a classic Crosby, Stills, Nash refrain and maximizing output from Latin pop staples Pitbull and Marc Anthony, these three stoned raiders have emerged from the ashes once again to reinvent themselves for radio.

This is some real high shit you’re about to see. For the past few weeks I’ve been vibing out to Dev’s new offering eagerly away the sparking of Suite #420. But the video, man, the video is one of the funniest, yet most entertaining I’ve seen in awhile. You see, I’m a simple dude and quite honestly I could care less about most videos nowadays. Sometimes you just need something real lucid to remind you it’s still at least a few people staying true to themselves. Read the rest of this entry »

Ms. Miranda follows in the promiscuous footsteps of Camay, Yolanda and Maxine of shorty doo-wops that have been blazed by the Almighty Wu. For their next trick (get it?), Meth, Ghost & Rae will pass your kid sister around like sour diesel for the street single to Wu-Massacre. Read the rest of this entry »

Am I the only one who finds it mildly funny but cool that Reggie Noble uses Twitter? Just imagine his keyboard being filthy with resin as he sends messages out to the internuts. Last night, he was kind enough to pass along this Illmind-produced track, “Buck Buck.” Read the rest of this entry »

Will I’m sure everybody took a gander at Trina’s last viral T&R video (that’s titties and rash), this is the footage she really wants you to peep to market her new LP Amazin’. Here we have Katrina and Ms. Keri Baby lookin’ spiffy as Easter Sunday, backed by pastel colors and greenscreen northern lights. Sean John’s lyrical slackness translates well into the motion picture aspect as well. Just in case you were wondering.

If YahZarah’s brokenhearted, she hides it very well. Over a mix of guitars, handclaps and tambourine, the whole Foreign Exchange family joins the songstress over a uptempo jam that doesn’t sound like any love was lost @ all. Read the rest of this entry »

Need an overpriced but ultracool pullover for Spring? Look to the season’s upcoming contribution from Supreme x The North Face. The Expedition Pullover features “100% waterproof 3-layer faille weave shell with tricot backing.” I think that translates into “it will keep your dry, should stop wind and, if not, you’ll still be the only one rocking it.” The camo is tough business or snag the basic blue & red colorway.

The funny thing about Vimeo & YouTube is if you don’t mark your video as private, there’s lurkers always waiting to scoop your content. We learned that the hard way once when we filmed, edited and uploaded a video. I went to bed thinking “yeah, we got that killer footage ready for tomorrow!” and rested comfortably. The next morning, I woke up and that same footage was everywhere, literally. We got scooped on our own debut. As a result, a conniption fit was thrown & items were hurled around the virtual office in disgust. Read the rest of this entry »

Join our gang as we prepare to cheer for our favorites, bet on the best and cry when either one of the aforementioned squads loses. You, too, can be a part of the Uproxx Pool of Awesome by clicking here. To the top three victors will go the spoils, the rest will receive nothing. A few unlucky ducklings will be shamed with the knowledge that they finished dead last. Read the rest of this entry »

Who knew Asher had a mixtape in the works? Was I asleep @ the wheel? What the hell kind of title is Seared Foie Gras with Quince & Cranberry? Who decided to name this song “Hot Wangz”? Is that a Black joke? How did he get will.i.am to bless him with a track? Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re even remotely familiar with Truck North, you’ll know he has enough freaks, flows and hoes to put Jake Steed out of business. When he and his DJs are digging in the crates, you can find him headed to very back to peruse through the “flicks” for more inspiration. Jayla Starr, Nina Mercedez, Sasha Grey–it don’t matter. It’s like Neapolitan ice cream; you just eat it. Read the rest of this entry »
