However, in Hip-Hop, backwards compliments have catapulted the careers of quite a few current captains of the industry. So, it should come as no surprise that Atlanta trap rapper Alley Boy didn’t hesitate to throw some not-so-subtle slights at a few of his city’s biggest names Read the rest of this entry »

After an extensive mixtape grind in just a short period, Kid Ink is looking at his Rolley and figuring it’s that time to drop an official album. But he’s keeping it L.A. casual with a carefree first single that promotes nothing but happy thoughts and swag. Read the rest of this entry »

Alley Boy’s about good and damn tired of all you people associating his city with just strip clubs and an Atlanta Hawks team that looks like it may never get over the hump.

Where Busta Rhymes’ signing with Cash Money was met with skepticism and French Montana’s expected Bad Boy deflection with a single sigh, Juicy J becoming Taylor Gang seems to make all the sense in the world. And it has more to do with he and Wiz’s common love for Miss Mary. Read the rest of this entry »

Freddie Gibbs’ Cold Day In Hell will be the tape that has a snowball’s chance being remembered weeks and months from now. While others are dropping novelty tapes for the holiday, Freddie’s release seems meant to be played through winter and beyond. The tone is set by the distinguished art alone, which may be the illest seen this year. Beyond the cover, Cold Day… holds equally sick music and “consistency” best describes what Gibbs does best on this release. Read the rest of this entry »

Poor Jake Handegard hasn’t been getting much sleep lately. His tweet mentions, Droid phone and SkyPager that he had in the 4th grade has been going off nonstop because Juicy J always wants to shoot a new video. He was probably hesitant to back out the 300 film deal he signed after hearing “I Don’t Play With Games,” the latest of pure, uncut gangsta shit from O.G. Juice. Read the rest of this entry »

When Freddie Gibbs was billed on Big K.R.I.T.’s R4 tour, I let loose a silent prayer that some dope music could come out of it. Well somebody up there was listening Read the rest of this entry »

Taking a trip to Atlanta for a brief moment, Decatur Dan rounds up those specializing in trap rap à la Alley Boy, Young Jeezy and everyone with a slight affiliation with Duct Tape or CTE for the “Four” visual. Those who gave The Real Is Back a listen will remember only Alley and Young appeared on the song. Calls were made, favors were placed and the result ended up being John’s country cousin, Yo, as the third brick flipper. Read the rest of this entry »

After a few years of squabbles behind them, Jeezy and Drama reconnect in an attempt to conjure up the chemistry that first made each equally successful. Jeezy brings along his CTE team (including Freddie) as well as Yo Gotti, Lil Wayne, Alley Boy and Fabolous. Read the rest of this entry »

Dead presidents talk from Alley & Young. Rapping with wads of cash so big their pockets look like they got the mumps. Read the rest of this entry »

The title is self-explantory but Alley Boy is trill and he’s going to lay the game out for you like a road map on a car hood. Speaking of the hood, the Duct Tape CEO gives you the scoop on his living arrangements which includes dope, the dopeman and dope rapping.

To this point, Alley Boy has taken it upon himself to be the unapologetic advocate of all ghetto affairs and he relishes in his duties Read the rest of this entry »

If you have ever been in the position to see a friend be released from prison, the feeling is quite invigorating. Granted, having them not go in the first place is the primary emotion, but life is all about second chances and that’s what legally escaping those prison walls represents.
