The Birth Of Young Money…

With the amount of studio time Cita and Rabbit’s pride and joy has given us through out the past six years or so, it’s perfectly normal to have some of his material slip your memory. Hate him or love him, the Hip-Hop world remembers Wayne for classic verses, chart topping albums and legions...

Chase N. Cashe - LOVEnd (The Instrumental Album)

Belly x DJ Smallz - Back For The First Time

Last time the lil’ homie Lola came through the city, we had a little discussion about this fellow they call Belly. He wasn’t unfamiliar especially after all his collabs with Massari, Drake and, more notably, Scarface and Snoop. But he was still somehow in the overcast shadow that looms darkest...

Zo! - …Just Visiting Too

Dallas Mavs’ Popeye Jones Arrested For DUI

On Sunday, former Mavs player & now assistant coach Popeye Jones reportedly drank a few too many bottles of Mad Dog 20/20 solo, failed a Breathalyzer test & resisted arrest. I use “reportedly” because you have to use words like “reportedly” and “allegedly,”...

Lil Cease & DJ Delz Presents Junior Mafia – The Lost Files

There are days when I wish my email wasn’t public property, that way I wouldn’t be subjected to such. And I wouldn’t have to set aside my personal biases in order to pass along material. I’m sorry but I just haven’t looked @ Cease the same ever since that video of him doing...

Soulico - The Orchard Mix

Slowly, I’ve become familiar with Israeli DJ’s Soulico. First there was the jam with Rye Rye, then hearing bits & pieces of their recently released Exotic On The Speaker (which includes features from Ghost, Del, Lyrics Born & more). Then Friday, they released a new mix, which wasn’t...
