At 16 tracks deep, Trill O.G. was fairly streamlined so the recent wave of Bido leftovers doesn’t seem that all bit surprising. Over an uncharacteristically soft-serve J.U.S.T.I.C.E League beat, Mr. 4 Cigs uncharacteristically dons his cape, begging for the lady in his life to stay before Ne-Yo or whomever could obviously make the studio date.

We know you hate this song, but they don’t care. It’s the self-made, trillionaires. Jampacked with aerial helicopter views from penthouse suites while pulling up mean with the angel bowing, Mr. 4 Cigs and Teddy Pain surround themselves with enough fat asses and liquor to get the party crackalatin’ on YouTube.

No bullsh!t, I’ve been wondering what the hell happened to Nipsey Hussle for the past few weeks or so. Maybe he has been releasing music and I’m just not checking the right sites, but it felt like this freshman had been practicing the art of truancy. Thankfully, it seems as if Nipsey has enrolled back in classes and seems intent in putting on for his coast. Read the rest of this entry »

Shareefa is pretty adept in what she does, yet four years since “Need a Boss,” it seems like people still don’t know it yet. Instead of throwing in the towel or getting knocked by some sleazy industry lemming, she linked with Don Cannon for the incredibly impressive The Misunderstanding of Shareefa. Billed as mixtape, the DTP songstress belts out original material featuring Raheem DeVaughn, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and the Trackmasters among others. Maybe now, you’ll catch her drift.

It’s obvious Laws is a fan of the old adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” About four months ago, the Brazilian-bred MC let loose of his J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League approved mixtape, 4:57. Since then, homie has been quietly, but efficiently building his brand trying live through on his own self-predicted prophecy as “your future favorite rapper.” Read the rest of this entry »

Two Rick Ross/J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League/Teflon Don/carjob posts back-to-back? You betcha. Officer Ross is so rich, he has different skin tone friends to match each whip. So while you may find the brown-skinned babies rapping in the Maybach, the light-skinned singers get to roll in the Aston Martin. Read the rest of this entry »

For his third victory lap in the backseat of luxury, Ross again flags down some prestigious passengers to join him along for the ride. After all, they all can fit right? Read the rest of this entry »

It may not be as fashionable to book T-Pain for studio time anymore, but the Trill O.G. is looking to bring that practice back into reform. Supported by futuristic J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League swagger, Bun Beedo is in complete control of his funds as he pounds the pavement with his street single. Read the rest of this entry »

While everybody has eagerly RSVP’d for the upscale Fasionably Late gala, Donnis would like to cordially invite you to his 18+ street event first. It’s The Invitation. No dress code, BYOB — wild the f#ck out. Once DJ Infamous & DJ Holiday checks you at the door, you’ll find Big D surrounded by talent such as Curt@in$, Yelawolf, Pill and Needlz on the 1′s & 2′s.

Probably about three weeks ago, the name “Laws” kept appearing on my Twitter timeline as a new artist to look out for. At the time, I didn’t invest much interest into finding out who it was. One thing leads to another and I come across his mixtape and figured giving a listen couldn’t hurt. If nothing else, only thing I’d be losing was time and an insignificant amount of computer memory.

“I say I do it for the love, Bunk bed flow, always one level above, If I’m in your starting five, you will never need a sub. And I’m never looking down so I always know what’s uppp…”

If you ask Gotty ™ about Wale, he’ll be sure to tell you that he’s been a fan since the kid was kicking freestyles in fifth grade or something.

Me? I was late. I didn’t become a fan until Wale dropped “The Kramer.” It was his ability to take a topic (the “N” word) that was being run to the ground by every rapper with a pulse at the time and add an emotional layer to it that few could put in their songs. Read the rest of this entry »

Dan Solo sent this thru on Friday but I was too busy picking out my outfits for the weekend (I’m a star, baby!) and didn’t have a chance to post it. Read the rest of this entry »

No need to be alarmed. Donnis did rise to prominence rather quickly. And you know what? He’s just getting started. Read along to see what truly defines Atlanta’s next-up-to-bat as he’s poised to take his share of this Hip-Hop game with his new project — the 10.Deep sponsored Diary Of An Atlanta Brave.

The South just got a lil’ more lyrical…

TSS: You’ve managed to get well-connected within the industry off the strength of your talent, but does it feel like you’re playing catch-up with the fans?

Donnis: Yeah, most definitely. I feel like people who are already poppin’ know I have a knack for what I do and it’s just time to let all the fans know I get it poppin’ as a lyricist. And that’s what we’re aiming to do with Diary Of An Atlanta Brave.

TSS: When did you first know you were capable of being a full-fledged MC?

Donnis: No bullshit, I think I’m just now coming into where I need to be lyrically — to be able to compete, ya know? I feel like I always had the capability. And my goal is to compete with the ones that are winning. Not just the ones who rap just to rap.

TSS: So in a nutshell, you wanna be successful and you’re constantly improving? Read the rest of this entry »
