From a personal standpoint, Fabolous’ The S.O.U.L. Tape has been one of the more replay-worthy releases of 2011. Crossing off the next item on his to-do list, Loso liberates the video for the Pac-inspired cut, “Pain.” Filled with witty one-liners and the usual Fab bravado, the audio easily makes this one of the highlights. The visuals, however, are confusing to a degree. Read the rest of this entry »

There are plenty of winners when Black Milk teams up with Jack White. Since the White Stripes talent reached out to the Album Of The Year provider as a fan looking to collaborate, the young, well-rounded Detroit MC/Producer surely feels a tad humbled upon hearing from a local legend.

“I don’t think anyone really wants to see us/I’m in the cut, rollin’ up, I’m on my Wiz Khalifa/Let him tell it, I don’t need blunts/Oh well, more for me cuz/If Trip Dale, you can call me Brennan and find me in the trees bruh…”

Starlito and Don Trip are set to release their collaborative mixtape, Step Brothers, on July 25. Read the rest of this entry »

The Tape Deckers are back on the road again in their continous conquest of championing Skyzoo That Dude as a chief commentator. If you think that was a lot of C’s, I have one more for you in: candy. Eye candy to be exact. Director Kenneth Price subtley makes Sky’s lucious lemon drop sidekick the primary focus of the clip, allowing the NYC platter of high grade lyricism to come in for the second course.

Even if you have only been paying attention to the visuals, it’s easy to see that Trouble’s December 17th is one of the most polished projects to drop the current fiscal year. In a perfect world, these songs would serve as an amalgam for radio and club fodder, with each of them transcending every region like locusts in biblical times. Read the rest of this entry »

Remember when the question over who to send to the All Star Game, Blake Griffin or Kevin Love, was a hot topic of debate this past winter? Both players, obviously aligned for their breakout seasons at the same position, decided it only made sense to confirm who’s the better player over an intense three game series of Jenga.

AJ gave you the mp3 a few weeks back and now the duo of Asher Roth and Quan double up by providing the visuals for the heat wave and Nottz-inspired compound, “Summertime.” A rather simple video indeed, the two parade throughout enjoying the opportunities the warmest season affords.

Unless you read my introspective Smoking Session with Purple Ribbon A&R Chris Carmouche a year or so ago, you probably aren’t aware of who Tre Luce is at all. Despite having great connects, deep roots in his hometown of ATL and an all-around skill-set fit for a star, finding as much as a picture of this rapper/producer/songwriter extraordinaire is not an easy task.

Freeway and Jake One have chemistry. That was evident back in 2010, when they teamed up to put out The Stimulus Package. Freeway finally sounded hungry again as he raced over Jake One’s soulful slaps, and the duo came up with one of the better projects of the year. It earned four-cigs from TSS upon its release, topped our year end slept-on list and still gets burn around my way, which I suppose is the greatest testament of all in today’s age of disposable music.

Since their victory over the Patriots in last season’s divisional round, the New York Jets’ Bart Scott assumed the title as the NFL’s most entertaining linebacker with his comical and intimidating slogan “Can’t wait!” James Harrison, football’s public enemy #1, may not have had a defining quote in his interview with Men’s Journal. But that’s only because there were too many the choose from. Read the rest of this entry »
