DJ Burn One Presents iNDEED – “Black Tears”

02.21.12 Written by Raj

Rarely has DJ Burn One’s production steered us wrong and it’s no time to start now. The smooth, melodic undertones from “Black Tears” transport you to a place where time moves slowly and you find yourself unable to do anything outside of bobbing your head and soaking in the track (trust me, I tried to write this while listening and I just couldn’t get myself to type).

Rittz – “Walking On Air”

02.21.12 Written by Raj

As the road to White Jesus: Revival winds down to its last few days, Rittz’s leaks are now two for two thus far. “Walking on Air” is yet another record on which the ATL rapper completely spazzes out and doesn’t drop a bead of sweat in the process. Read the rest of this entry »

B.o.B – “So Good”

02.21.12 Written by Raj

Where there was “Nothing On You” last time, B.o.B releases “So Good” this time around for Strange Clouds. The track’s your typical crossover, club-friendly tune that will wind up being just what the suits ordered to really build some widespread momentum in anticipation of the album’s May 1st release.

Wale Feat. Big Sean – “Slight Work” Video

02.19.12 Written by Raj

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Wale’s videos for the motherf*cking win. At this point I’m suspecting the man (or whoever is responsible for casting) earned a PhD in Video Vixen-ology. Directed by Chris Brown and Godfrey Tabarez, “Slight Work” is basically a compilation of uber seductive, barely clothed women separated by largely unnecessary shots of Folarin and Big Sean rapping.

Starlito Feat. Young Dolph – “Gone” Video

02.18.12 Written by Raj

“Felony charges, but capital made it a lower case.”

After all the years, there are only so many ways to touch on the same topics and even few options for a handful of Hip-Hop’s most dog-earred topics. But enter Starlito and his quotable-filled record “Gone” to swiftly brush those notions aside. Read the rest of this entry »

Dee-1 – “Writers Block!” Video

02.17.12 Written by Raj

Before Dee-1 was a rapper he was David Augustine, middle school math teacher. So you know already know his numbers game is point. But his fancy wordplay just scratches the surface of “Writer’s Block.” Read the rest of this entry »

Tesla Reports Sales Of $40 Million On Model X Electric Car

02.15.12 Written by Raj

Tesla can do no wrong right now. Following the success of their Roadster, the all electric automobile company quickly sold out of pre-orders for their Model S sedan and now is continuing strong with their crossover Model X vehicle. To date, Tesla has secured over 650 buyers for the latest car that will be officially released sometime next year and they’ve netted over $40 million Read the rest of this entry »

Playboy Tre – “We All In”

02.15.12 Written by Raj

If there are two things Playboy Tre is known for, they’re honesty and drunkenness. And truthfully speaking, I have no preference as to which one Tre chooses to personify on a record since the end result is enjoyable music either way. Read the rest of this entry »

Young Gliss Feat. Prodigy, Killer Mike, Jon Connor, Just Shawn & Lo Keys – “No One Can Stop Us Now”

02.11.12 Written by Raj

At seven minutes long, “No One Can Stop Us Now” clocks in much longer than the average song. But with a trio of straight lyrical beasts in Prodigy, Killer Mike, and Jon Connor, trust me it’s no chore to get through Young Gliss’ latest offering. It’s an impressive effort on multiple levels because despite the plethora recognizable names, Gliss doesn’t fall victim to murdered-on-you-own-shit-itis. Read the rest of this entry »

Microsoft Strips Away “Start” Button From Windows 8

02.08.12 Written by Raj

The more I hear about Windows 8, the more of a believer I’m becoming. When it drops in September, Microsoft’s newest OS will continue what Apple began, and bring the touchscreen from the phone to the home in a bold way that its arch rival has been hesitant to do. But before the revolution becomes computerized, Microsoft is dropping sneak peaks of some of the standout features Read the rest of this entry »

Rick Ross – “Yella Diamonds” Video

I don’t know bout you guys, but I’ve spent the last few weeks playing Rich Forever over and over again. And I mention this because these days a staying power of more than one week is just magnificent. Read the rest of this entry »

Smoke DZA – “Marley’s Garden”

02.06.12 Written by Raj

While much of the world is blazing a birthday blunt in memory of Bob Marley today, who’s more qualified than Smoke DZA to release a tribute song to reggae’s fallen warrior? However, “Marley’s Garden” isn’t a sad remembrance at all. Read the rest of this entry »

Jon Connor – “Best In The World”

02.06.12 Written by Raj

Jon Connor’s Season 2 mixtape was definitely one of the best, most snoozed on tapes from last year, but instead of dwelling in the past, the Flint rapper is keeping it moving with his next endeavor, The Blue Album. It’s going to be a project that takes things in a slightly different direction by picking and choosing a few beats from Jay-Z Blueprint trilogy and then doing what he does best – annihilating them.

SL Jones – “Actin’ Bad” Video

02.02.12 Written by Raj

Yeah, SL Jones seems to be the least discussed member of the Grind Time Rap Gang, but talk is cheap. Don’t think for a second that this cat can’t hold his own weight in bars just because he isn’t living off of hype. He dropped three excellent projects last year, and he doesn’t plan on slowing down any time soon. Need further evidence before you stop snoozing? Read the rest of this entry »

Young Jeezy Feat. Jadakiss & Fabolous – “OJ” Video

02.01.12 Written by Raj

Jeezy started off Thug Motivation 103 with a stellar trifecta of songs that was capped off with “OJ” featuring New York lyricists Fabolous and Jadakiss. The record’s superior quality has it resting comfortable up near the top of TM103 and is accordingly one of my favorites from the album (but of course nothing comes close to Freddie’s lethal verse from “.38″).
