C-Ride - “Black Shades”

Wearing a fresh pair of “Black Shades,” the 305’s own C-Ride is poising himself as next in line out of the Dade County hotbed. His new accessory-based single sounds like something Flo-Rida would get on NOW! 73 - only a tad more street

50 Cent Feat. Eminem - “Psycho” (Prod. By Dr. Dre)

Oh, Fifty. You got your life so right and your bars so wrong. We haven’t heard you spit anything but cheap shots in months years, but now you’re trying to claim insane daisy-chained double-time rhymes like this? Really? I know you could sell fur coats to people at PETA, but I ain’t...

Mike Posner - One Foot Out The Door Mixtape

At this time last year, if you would’ve told me the new mixtape from a white suburbanite, Southfield, MI Pop producer/singer named Mike Posner would make my most anticipated releases of 2009 list, I would have laughed straight in your face.

Classified - “Quit While You’re Ahead” Video

Since his last video was so on point, it’s not surprising the kid Classified had to go against the theme of “Quit While You’re Ahead” to grace us with this Canadian All-Star posse cut/third single/video from his still steadily-bumped 2009 album Self-Explanatory. Great beat. Good...

Tech N9ne - “Leave Me Alone” Video

If “Show Me A God” was too much Tech N9ne for your taste buds, the Killa Clown takes it down a notch with “Leave Me Alone” the first radio-ready single from K.O.D., his smoldering hot new studio album that you hopefully already copped when it dropped today.

“Musically I Can’t See Nobody Movin’ Me…”

A few of you might know I got reason to frequent local rap gatherings in and around Detroit and in midst of seeing literally hundreds acts over the past two years, an extremely small number of these so-called MCs have actually been unique enough to stand out. A few months back, however, I ran into one...

My Second Favorite Detroit Rapper Of All-Time…

Thanks to MichiganHipHop, I finally got my hands on “Shake That,” the new single from my second favorite Detroit rapper of all-time, Big Herk. I’ve seen the Got ‘Cha Back CEO rock this live about five times now down in the city and wouldn’t say it’s is best work ever,...

Weezer Meets Weezy…

I almost crashed on I-94 the day my buddy told me he was reading an MTV News headline that noted Lil-jailbound-Wayne was making a guest appearance on the new Weezer album, Raditude.

If I Only Had Some Skratch…

If my pockets could keep up with my thoughts, I’d enjoy life a whole lot more.

Asher Roth - “Rik Smits”

I much as I spite the shit out of this always-smiling S.O.B., I’ve got to give credit to Asher Roth. Passing prior judgment might have led you to believe otherwise, but truthfully the kid doesn’t just get and do whatever he wants because of the hype. But, if you’ve heard the thoroughly...

New West Order…

Strides continue to made out West, as Cash Money’s Cali-connect Glasses Malone bridges the age gap with, “Before It All Ends,” an elegantly produced look in the rearview featuring Jay Rock and Bigg Snoop Dogg. If anything else from Glasses’ new internet album Nightmare On 7th...

Pill Money…

I’ll admit, I’ve never seen Smallville a day in my life and haven’t the slightest who star Sam Jones is either. But the fact homeboy just got busted for trying to shop ten thousand oxycodone pills strikes an odd chord with me. See, like everyone, I got a man who knows people, and the...

Snoop Dogg Wants To Be A Vampire

During this red carpet video for what looks to be some-sort-of Latino MTV Awards show, a rather dapper Uncle Snoop Dogg addresses his infatuation with my favorite HBO brain-drainer True Blood. So much that the Doggfather even goes on record to ask the producers for a role in the show.

Talking On A Dream…

After I gave Wiz Khalifa a tip of the hat the other day, it’s not surprising he went and set the bar so high by rocking over the one offshoot joint of the year Gotty™ and I’d been waiting for someone to sample all summer; “Walking On A Dream,” Empire Of The Sun’s floaty...

The Ills….

You know something is terribly wrong when Leslie Hindman Auctioneers can sell some of Elvis Presley’s locks for fifteen large, while four thousand miles away in Venice, 97-year-old Bessie Mae Berger and her two sons live in a dilapidated ‘73 Suburban.
