“So Sweeet…”

Last week, Neil and I discussed the topic of how he finds time to still do tapes while touring. In a nutshell, it’s virtually impossible but I’ll share some of the rest of it later. The main thing that I wanted to share then and now was I told him how someone had literally just sent me a...

“Garden State Of Mind…”

When I dropped a post about Mo0 this summer his track met TSS with a somewhat tepid response. I saw a modicum of potential in the kid but dude wasn’t “there” yet in many respects. I knew that wasn’t the last I’d hear from the kid so I kept him in the “wait and see” folder.

DJ Green Lantern Presents Emilio Rojas - The Natural

The term “underrated” gets thrown around a lot but rarely taken heed. When Emilio Rojas is described as such, it’s implying that he’s one of the best rappers you aren’t listening to. Looking to change all that, DJ Green Lantern steps in the direct The Natural, an aptly-titled...

The Empire & DJ Skee Present Pill - 4075: The Refill

“Ok dennn…” No words needed, as the setup began months ago. Truth be told, I was ready for this joint about a month after the first time I heard “The Work Is Hard.” Skee & The Empire doing the presentation. Pill & The Villains were even nice enough to include...

MacBoney - Mac Hussein Mixtape

I’m not sure how many reflect this sentiment, but P$C’s 25 To Life album was pretty damn good in my eyes. Hell, I even bought it. Without getting too much into it, we all know who the face of Grand Hustle is, but it is his longtime Bankhead cohorts, Big Kuntry, C-Rod and MacBoney who have...

B.o.B Presents The Features

I like this and find myself in agreement, so allow me to give my blog brother-in-arms Shake the e-podium. If you remember… I attempted to light a fire under Atlantic’s ass by putting together a collection of B.o.B records that I thought could have formulated his debut album. After two killed links,...

6th Sense - “Can’t Stay Out The Lab” (Prod. By Alchemist)

The song’s title couldn’t be more accurate for 6th Sense. He just recently brandished his own form of weaponry, and now he’s hopping on Chemistry beats for more scientific methods.

Trackstar The DJ & TSS Present Best Rapper Alive? (Royce Da 5′9″ Vs. Lil Wayne)

Since Trackstar is Crew, I’ll him tell his own story behind the concept for this mixtape. “Since Jay-Z stopped worrying about being the best and declared himself the greatest, many people have claimed the title of Best Rapper Alive, but few as often as Lil Wayne and Royce Da 5′9″....

Bye, Bye Boosie

Capone-N-Noreaga preached about parole violations over a decade ago but since the South came to power, most of the older classics don’t even matter anymore. It’s disheartening, disappointing and any other word you can think of to attach the “dis” prefix to see this go down.
