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.

More often than not, a Dr. Dre cosign is strictly speculation until he actually steps into the booth on the artist’s behalf. That said, the Good Doc must have felt his protege Slim The Mobster had been doing right by the throwaway beats he’s been getting dealt and has now given the LA rapper one of the most prestigious features an MC can get.

Here’s a quick post just in case you couldn’t get past those horrendous tags on Freezer’s Intermission tape that dropped a few days ago. Adding the ultra-cool Mayer Hawthorne and casually swag Ralph Florian to he and Jake One’s interpolation of Rick James’ biggest hit, this version of the State Prop soldier’s “She Makes Me Feel Alright” carries a tad more depth Read the rest of this entry »

For this particular timeout, Freeway is taking a Gatorade break but instead of sitting on the sidelines, he’s cutting a slew of new records for the sake of entertaining you and your iPod. Backed by Superstar Jay and DJ Love Dinero, The Intermission slaps together an all-star cast in Freddie Gibbs, Yo Gotti, Wale, Bink! and hometown homie Meek Mill for rawer-than-shrimp street talk.

Live from the 215, Freeway reassembles the State Prop team for the track “666,” produced by Jake One and taken from Free’s upcoming Intermission mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

Wiz & Snoop match verses on “French Inhale,” assisted by Mike Posner’s slow, smokey (no pun) chorus. Off the two cheeba smoker’s Mac & Devin Go To High School movie soundtrack. Read the rest of this entry »

Navigating all the music that releases resembles combing the beach with a metal detector. One day you’re finding loose change left and right, while other days all your coming up with junk metal. Mr. Muthaf*ckin’ eXquire is the penny that you almost toss aside before noticing it’s one of those rare pennies worth a couple hundred bucks. Read the rest of this entry »

Joell’s mixtape The Life and Times of Sebastian Rios appears to be releasing soon and his newest track “Seven Deuce” hopefully means that it’s right around the corner. Boasting thumping production by Jake One, the record is yet another on the ever elongating list of beats that have been laid to rest by mortician Ortiz. Nobody aside from perhaps his Slaughterhouse peers should even attempt to match him here. Read the rest of this entry »

Freeway and Jake One have chemistry. That was evident back in 2010, when they teamed up to put out The Stimulus Package. Freeway finally sounded hungry again as he raced over Jake One’s soulful slaps, and the duo came up with one of the better projects of the year. It earned four-cigs from TSS upon its release, topped our year end slept-on list and still gets burn around my way, which I suppose is the greatest testament of all in today’s age of disposable music.

Jake Uno continues to lend Vakill more layers in his rap shield has he takes Chicago under seige in his latest chronicle of war. Camped out right in from Soldier Field to the United Center, Vakill keeps the playing field level even in its off-season. If it’s a battle you seek, you’ll probably need the Armor of God to see your ass to victory. Read the rest of this entry »

The first leak off of Vakill’s Armor Of God album titled “Armorgeddon” produced by Jake One and, to be totally honest, I listened to thirty seconds and stopped. Rarely am I one to avoid leaks but I want to digest AOG as a whole once it drops instead of in bits and pieces. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s officially training day on the gangsta’s turf for the young Pilot and who better than to show him the ropes than O.G. Boss “Alonzo” Snoop Dogg. Director Pook Brown gets his Antoine Fuqua on as Snoop cuts out the shenanigans and stays true blue over a fierce Jake One soundbed. Read the rest of this entry »

Lest ye young pups forget, Boss Dogg is an O.G. for the Boys in Blue. When he’s not laid up with your baby mother in Vegas after she lied and told she was just going down the street, he’s out on the corner, saggin’ and flaggin’ with the 20′s. Read the rest of this entry »

Mobb Deep may have ruined the game for a lot of cats. Choosing to back down or access a situation with your brain first doesn’t make you shook in the slightest. You win some. You lose some. But you live to fight another day. Those are words from the wise. Those are words from Pops from Friday. Read the rest of this entry »

“Supreme Clienteleeeee!!! Ain’t no love to be found…”

Oh wait? What’s that you say? “Buck 50” was a decade ago? Then what is this rough, raw and rugged audio dope that is stimulating and so to pleasing my ear drums? It’s hypnotizing yet so grimy like a throwback to the days when a hoodie and ice grill was enough to freeze any posturing lame in their tracks trying to sugarcoat the realness.
