Emilio Sparks gets paid to be a professional cretin.

As if his dream job isn’t great enough, he mostly likely has your favorite rapper on speed dial for prank calls because he’s the spontaneous type. While you can catch the shameless disc jockey weekly on WSIA 88.9FM and his iTunes podcast, “The Emilio Experience,” he’s contributing to Hip-Hop in a major way with his 2nd compilation of beats-n-rhymes in Scumbino’s Way.

If you can’t tell by now, Emilio Rojas is a pimp, swindler and bona fide ladies man. For all those double entendre’d finishers/cramming-28-bars-into-16-bar-stanzas/motor-mouthed lyrical acrobatics he likes to pull off, he never hesitates to let you catch him with a woman. Any type ranging from wifey to hooker tramp, he’s got ‘em—in his videos. Read the rest of this entry »

Melo-X strives to be a producer’s producer and you have to respect that type of creative drive, no matter how familiar you are with his work. Too often we see beatmakers presenting compilations that resulted from dozens of emails where files were received and resent without maintaining any sort of congruity. The Brooklynite’s newest and freshest project to date, More Merch, aims to keep the glue between beats and lyrics. Read the rest of this entry »

The title “Rapity Rap” is self-explanatory but may not do the track justice, as each rapper rhymes with a sense of urgency. Those with slow ears or aversion to syllables, might want to skip this one. The rest, enjoy and pay attention because More Merch drops on 12.8.10. Read the rest of this entry »

My boo is mad that I’m buzzin’, she’s scared that I’m movin’ on/A stubborn mothaf#cka, I stuck with her just to prove her wrong…

I think it was Maurice Garland who tweeted this awhile back: isn’t it odd how “FTW” (for the win) and “WTF” (what the f#ck) use the same letters to describe completely different emotions? This ain’t got nothing to do with nothing, I just thought that I should mention. Respect to Weezy. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s the annual event we all love to hate to on. Rap stars of new and old all convene under the house of Black lampoonery to dispel our attention from something more conducive to human existence. But as arguably the biggest nucleus that promotes most of the happenings of our beloved culture, the love side of the relationship with BET shoots to the forefront as they do give those that deserve it a bit of shine, even if comes courtesy of a generic environment.

While some view sunny beaches & flip flops for their version of Paradise, Mickey Factz has other ideas. Hot Asphalt & Supra suits the Bronx native just fine while he put the finishing touches on The Achievement. To each his own I say because right now a dry 59° day, light jacket & a pair of ’95s would be paradise to me. It’s all about your perspective. Read the rest of this entry »

Legal or illegal, Smoke DZA is going to get his chief on in the booth, streets and your girlfriend’s bed room. If there were ever a reason to download solely of a title alone, this would be it. George Kush The Button. What in thee samhill? It’s brilliance, that’s what that is! But Smoke Dog can rap all the same and with a tracklist that would essentially make this 24 Hour Karate School-lite, rolling up on the link shouldn’t be a problem for anyone.

Mr. Thanksgiving and the producers who do it better the 2nd time, Cookin Soul, come through with another freebie on this glorious Tuesday to make your iPod smile. When is the last time you heard a compilation mixtape that was worthy of constant spins? More than likely it was a CS presentation. And with Drama giving his Gangsta Grillz stamp, it seems like they could be invincible. 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. Did we mention it was free admission? Read the rest of this entry »

Truthfully: Mickey Factz still has the Bruce Leroy glow. He just got caught up in all the vanity Planet #Alpha had to offer and got sucked up into the 7th heaven. No matter, the Legend of the Supra shall rise from the ashes to deliver The Acheivement, his first retail LP and destroy all the haters and nayslayers with his gamma ray mutant powers!!!

Nikki Lynette.

Some time ago, I saw this young lady perform in the Chicago club circuit, looking like she came straight from the dentist’s office where some crusty doctor gave her a toothbrush and sticker in honor of getting her braces off. So there’s something disturbing in a song titled “Glory Box,” a year later. Read the rest of this entry »

If for some oddball reason you don’t know his name, Mickey Factz — the man, the myth, the Supra Legend — is giving you “motherfuckers” (his words not mine) a reintroduction. Composed by ATL maestros FKi, the masses gave breathe a sigh of relief our hero has come down to from out of space to rap amongst us mere mortals. Read the rest of this entry »

The week where the rap world went all out…everywhere we went.

– The world is at John & Bryce’s fingertips, while Gilbert’s continues to slip away.

– Word brought a new meaning to the term “Holy War”.

– Waka Flocka got flamed over his chain. Read the rest of this entry »
