For those looking to get their hustle game in tip-top shape, Killa Kyleon is the dean of that department. When they’re in the classroom together however, they all become astrology majors and by remixing one of K.R.I.T. Wuz Here’s most outstanding solar systems, Read the rest of this entry »

There was an APB put out on a microphone murderer some time ago. He’s been listed as snarky and dangerous with known aliases like Dope Boy C and The Beat Bandit of 2010. With outstanding warrants in the land of Shaolin for earlier acts of larceny, he’s just upgraded to homicide with his latest gesture. Read the rest of this entry »

The other weekend I was out in DC and myself shaking my head at the amount of homeless people forced to sleep in cardboard boxes in temperatures which couldn’t have been more than 35 degrees. Whether you have a Bill Cosby Christmas sweater in the closet or aren’t the biggest fan of the holiday season, one thing it often manages to do is instill an added sense of appreciation.

As far as riveting guest appearances go, everybody knows (or should know) that Twista is amongst the best in the biz when it comes to elevating his fellow man’s compositions. Like he told Beware a few weeks ago, he wants to prove he can deviate outside of warp speed and still blew your mind with the flow. His newest label signee, Showtime has the perfect forecast for Twist to continue on casting The Perfect Storm across the rap’s skies of fury. Read the rest of this entry »

A few minutes over you time is all the Black Flag Gang needs to persuade you to utilize their services. Read the rest of this entry »

***News Flash***

Cleveland still has some ill feelings towards a certain basketball player. Of course, said basketball player could give two sh*ts about anything Cleveland thinks because lately, his new team have put it together while the Cavs, on the other hand, are doing their best impression an imploding meteorite. So go figure that since they can’t exact revenge on the court the next best thing would be to defer the cause to another, more capable set of hands. Read the rest of this entry »

I’d personally like to thank Mayer Hawthorne.

Over here in the Great Lakes states, we’ve been getting douched for the past 24 hours with a friendly reminder that “Christmas Time Is Here.” Drive time is quadrupled because traffic is so touchy, as fender benders are considered commendable and the ice-induced death-toll continues to cross our newscasts. Oh and not to mention there’s this nagging voice in my mind continually reminding me not a single present has been copped. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re into homicidal rampages, you’d probably dig Hopsin’s video for “You Are My Enemy.” If viewing blunt forced trauma isn’t necessarily your bag, though, close your eyes and hear witness to this Cali rhymeslayer verbally cross name after name off his heartbroken hitlist. Lock the doors and pull your loved ones close, because the intensity throughout this piano-laden massacre might make you second-guess….well, everything.

The rest of the uncut and x-rated can be found on Hop’s recently released album, Raw, which is available as we speak at all your local psych wards.

I’m not sure who keeps scorning all of these R&B songbirds, but from all of the music connoisseurs across the globe, I’d like to thank you. Next up to the mic is Melanie Fiona with “Gone And Never Coming Back” as she gets the ball rolling for her sophomore album The MF Life which is slated for an early 2011 release.

Sometimes, the error in your ways can only be noticed when it’s slapping you in the face. The other day, after jumping on a Neon Indian bandwagon and getting side-eyed in the comments, the homie beatzu politely guided me towards the light, by offering up a handful of jams from artists to which I was uninitiated.

Mik’s The Dark Room releases next Tuesday but for this Tuesday, he’s letting loose one hell of a warning shot with “Runnin’ My City,” a monstrous track full of emcees who all happen to be ten toes down in their respective towns. Read the rest of this entry »

The Internet is just overflowing with ingenious bastards that we should just all sing praises to celebrate the day computers became more than just databases. The entire galaxy shifted the moment we tapped into the viral labyrinth nicknamed to most as the “innernuts.” A place where kooks, crazies and the creative mind frames all manage to derive works of art from the part of the brain only Harry Potter can use. We’re a long way from the days when parodies were simply paper cutouts erked-and-jerked by not-so-invisible strings and voiced by the same dork holding the camera. Read the rest of this entry »

Right after ‘Pac died, P and company filled a void. Tru 2 Da Game? Unheralded but undisputed and I’d place Tru 2 Da Game up against most albums for ’97. Read the rest of this entry »
