Rap’s full of obnoxious boasts and rants of wanting life’s finer things. But for listeners, most of us just want to make our way and find success and happiness on a simple level. Pushing through to achieve lofty goals takes vision and conviction and, on some days, music to help plow through the obstacles. Read the rest of this entry »
Has T.I. plateaued? Is the King Of The South still relevant to the general public? To a certain demographic, he always will be. But, it’s also been three years since he had a legitimate hit single and with tastes changing at warp speed, many folks have simply moved on. Read the rest of this entry »

This clip isn’t why I’m here though. While watching the video, my mind wandered and stumbled upon Dram’s place in rap history. Read the rest of this entry »

Apparently, certain folks really like French Montana. Others are just unsure how the often-slurring, fur-rocking Bad Boy deserves all the hype. However, that gap begins to bridge when you hear Frenchie’s Wale-assisted exclamation point, which samples Wu-Tang’s biggest song and will have most folks singing along to the pimped out hook in no time. If you’re interested, the full Coke Boys 3 tape is available Read the rest of this entry »
When not taking upon the task of helping validate Iggy Azalea’s presence, Cliff Harris has his own forthcoming LP to tend to. “Love This Life” is, by all accounts, set to be the lead single from Trouble Man with the formula finding Tip going directly for the opposite sex.

Cam Kirk and Dave Canon provide the evidential footage from Iggy and T.I. putting in work live in Atlanta, performing her new released track “Murder Business” at The Basement on Thursday night. Read the rest of this entry »
Perhaps the most talked-about and controversial new artist around, Iggy Azalea is wasting no time capitalizing on her newfound infamy and releasing new records. And rightfully so. Read the rest of this entry »
T.I.’s long history of appreciation for Houston artists not named Lil Flip spans back years, so it makes sense Clifford dubbed H-Town’s own Trae Tha Truth as the newest member to the Grand Hustle roster.

“I don’t know if you don’t know, don’t care or can’t see
Every time something up in the hood, it ain’t me

Uh huh, yes. Almost on cue with the great weather much of the country is experiencing, T.I. and the folks at Grand Hustle drop off the tape that’ll command the majority of my weekend excursions. If you remember, one of the standout tracks from Tip’s F*ck Da City Up tape was the Hit Boy-produced “Harry Potter” which featured the unknown-at-the-time group, D.O.P.E.
