Mr. Kiss-My-Ass Ca$he’s tape is becoming a black hole of leaks, but as long as the music is thorough, we’ll just sit back and watch the show. Whereas one particular “Mega” producer suggest that Haute Living is the way to go, Chase opts for the grimier side of things with the fourth edition of “Trill Living” with the only remaining Supersonic.

Making a last case argument for Harlem as the year swirls to a close, Vado is trying to become larger on the streets with his latest epidemic, Slime Flu 2. Joining him on his panic attack is a heavy East Coast lineup in Raekwon The Chef, Fabolous, Young Chris and more Read the rest of this entry »

Jae Millz and his Young Money boss Weezy team up for “Forever Winning,” set to be featured on Millz’ upcoming release, Nothing Is Promised. The bass-heavy track works but I’ve come to realize that the Charlie Sheen form of “winning” has run its course and using the term indicates that you’re most likely doing the opposite.

True to form, DJ Kay Slay brought three New York rhymers together to flex a little skill on “Wanna Be Right,” the most recent release from his upcoming tape Strength Of A Gesture. J.R. Writer, Reek Da Villian and Jae Millz all sharpened their respective pens, ready to take part in the time-honored tradition of posse cuts. Read the rest of this entry »

To be quite honest, I’m not even sure how long this track has been out. I came across it this morning, liked it and here we are now. According to more knowledgeable sources, the song originates from a new Jae Millz mixtape entitled Dead Presidents. Having 27 members in the camp, I stopped a long time ago trying to keep up with all the music coming from YM. Read the rest of this entry »

The weather’s broken and it’s no more appreciated than here at TSS.  The boots have been put away and the sneakers are out. Wireless hotspots & internet cards begin to look like sound investments when the sun begins to shine through the windows. Through it all, the content continues to fly fast and furious. Take a look back at some of the highlights of the past week: Read the rest of this entry »

Rarely do I bother with this sort of thing and ask anybody around my opinion regarding lists (they ain’t sh#t). But somehow I got woo’ed into watching/listening to Jae Millz spout off enlighten the Hip-Hop world with his opinion regarding the emcees chosen for XXL’s 2010 Freshmen list. First off, he’s entitled to feel a certain way and have his opinion. Make no mistake about that. But there’s a strong chance he picked up Wayne’s styrofoam cup while the boss was away.

Slay’s More Than A DJ album is shaping up pretty f’n nice right now. First “See The Light” and now this? Who knows how the completed project will sound as a whole because I’m sure there’s bound to be an inevitable Papoose appearance that might bring down the overall listening experience. But this makes two nice ones to add to my current playlist. Read the rest of this entry »

Many rap crews are formed but very few are poised to be shaped into dynasties. 2009 will undoubtedly go down as the year of Young Money as Lil’ Wayne rode his popularity wave in from 2008, while staff sergeants Drake and Nicki Minaj shone bright on their own reconnaissance. The next step could be foreseen by the blindfolded: the Cash Money junioraires assemble to release an average compilation to capitalize on their current omnipresence. We Are Young Money, a platform to launch the careers of lesser known acts such as T-Streets, Lil’ Chuckee & Twist, doesn’t quite meet its goal with musical significance that’s less than stellar. Not to mention all of the album’s content is more shallow than a Kardashian. Read the rest of this entry »

Young Money is an Army–better yet a Navy, flooding the streets with their product as long as the streets are saying they’re hot. This December 21st, they’re out for that Christmas ca$h with their clique album We Are Young Money which includes this jingle “Bedrock”: the soundtrack to every teenybopper’s next formal dance.

Thank you Wanye for the memories. Read the rest of this entry »
