I’m very glad Vado’s getting the looks he deserves. I’m even happier that he appropriately brought along a very focused Dro to help laud both artists’ favorite brand. I’m sure Ralph Lo is okay with receiving this unsolicited commercial promo for his label. Despite all that, I may spazz if I see or hear one more person talk about being “Lo’ed down” Read the rest of this entry »

When the grass is cut, the snakes will show and you’d probably be surprised to see that some have Louis Vuitton purses and Chanel® lipstick. Such is reality in the life of Waka Flocka Flame. Meet a chick, bag a chick and sleep it off and next thing you know, she’s bagging all your groceries and flaunting it on World Star. Girls these days ain’t nothing but trouble but Flockaveli is ’bout that getback, shawty. His whole crew is TTG. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, it appears the packaging for Gotty™’s garbage cans are about to get gruesome. Yesterday, the FDA announced an initiative enforcing placement of warning labels on all American-distributed cigarettes, featuring images showcasing the vomit-inducing side-effects of steady puffing.

There are certain artists you come across and recognize that despite all the skills they possess, they’ll never rise too far above their current status. But that’s alright. The same internet we curse when we come across the third cousin bastard child of “No Hands” also serves as a safe haven for people like Jakk Frost. Read the rest of this entry »

Protect your Fresh as you travel or traipse across campus using the latest special edition courtesy of QWSTION. The baggage handlers just released updated versions of the Backpack, the Officebag and my personal fav, the Weekender, all tastefully done using herringbone. Traditional winter coat pattern fused with functional coating. Read the rest of this entry »

A few months ago, when director Derek Pike was brainstorming up ideas for the video to Joell Ortiz & Novel’s everyman anthem, “Night Train,” the former NYU student didn’t have to get too elaborate on his storyboard. As visual as the BX Slaughterhouse member spits, the blueprint was right there in the bars. Read the rest of this entry »

Words by C. Paicely

“I’m busy makin’ moves, and the only time I fail is when I fail to lose.”

A few weeks ago Rockie Fresh was strolling the streets of a strangely desolate Chicago, solitary, unwanted, but unrelenting in his self-confidence. He successfully pulled off “lonely at the top” without being anywhere near the so-called top.

That attitude of entitlement lingers in the new cut, “Living,” but this time Mr. Fresh ditches the lonely Chicagoan visage. Just one fiery verse from Naledge reminds us that the Windy City is still a Hip-Hop metropolis full of pissed off deep thinkers who couldn’t care less about red suits and crowns. The whole project is glued together with a hook that’ll float around in your head long after your earbuds and eardrums part ways. There’s a strange paradox going on here, as the anthem-like quality makes the chorus invigorating while the overall tone remains chill, almost hypnotic. Fresh made immaculate use of his resources on this one, and churned out what I would call a “feel good” song. It feels good to know this dude actually has friends and a promising future.

Oh yeah, props to Phil Adé for closing the door nicely with a hilarious 50 Tyson.

A few days ago on Twitter, I announced that I needed a new snakeskin belt, because that’s what Southern G’s tend to rock. Lo and behold, Primitive has their new Snakeskin Boulevard Belt, the Red Cup crew’s first accessory they’ve created. And they have the lovely Alexis Lopez to model it. Read the rest of this entry »

Has Mikkey given up the chase to be great and reverting back to corner tactics? Is he leaving positivity and lyricism, redirecting his content to include peddling and pushing? Flagrantly using the word “swag” even though it’s empty at this point? Read the rest of this entry »

The current generation of toddlers never ceases to amaze. When DS Jr. learned his ABC’s at two, I was sure he was genius baby. But the young savant in the video below really has something special, spouting off the whole Milwaukee Bucks entire roster – coach and GM included. Read the rest of this entry »

Picture Bun B ridin’ in a 500 Benz. Nah, never that. It’s always going to be a ‘Lac with candy paint to make a lady’s mouth water and keep the gents green with envy. And while he’s Mr. International, you can still find him posted in PA, either showing love to any Texas artist—like Slim Thug or crafting a real roller song with underrated production cartel Play-N-Skillz. Or a little bit of both. The Bun is versatile as they come for a  Trill O.G. and he pulls out all the player cards for his latest motion picture. Read the rest of this entry »

Like PUSH! stated, this isn’t a mixtape. It’s an album, constructed of a studious grind that depicts the weathered life of someone who made out of situations that most would deem insurmountable. Whether it was blood, sweat or cocaina spilling through his pores, the Brooklynite has showed more hustle in his muscle over the past few months. So now that the hour of FreshDope is upon us, his reality raps being cashed in the Money In The Bank headquarters have generated a great deal of interest. Read the rest of this entry »

What Black Panthers founder Huey Newton has to do with Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa’s latest offering of the same name is unknown. It’s utterly useless to try and figure out the synaptic workings of both MCs’ THC-induced cabezas. Whatever their aim, the How Fly guys conjure up more intoxicating audio dope.
