Whether you love or hate Tony Yayo, he’s giving everybody plenty of reason to pay attention to him as the apparent designated driver of G-Unit for now. Taking it back to the days of “So Seductive,” Yayo and Fif are poppin’ bottles in the club, joined by their newly appointed labelmates Shawty Lo and Kidd Kidd. Banks, where you at my G?

G-Unit 2K11 is a far cry from the gaudy roster 50 Cent brandished in 2004, but for now, they’re content with visibility being their voice of promotion.

Action packed remixes have become somewhat of a fixture in Hip-Hop but on occasion, they can still deem themselves to be noteworthy. Such is the case for the Lone Star State’s most improved player, Dorrough. By snatching Puff and Maino from out east, fellow dirty-dirty neighbors in Bun, Gotti, Diamond and Carlos and getting DJ Drama to scream everything together, this event is kinda like a big effin’ deal.

Bowen Homes Carlos still got it for the l-o and that’s the type of budget he opts for his videos as well. Regardless, it’s keeping his last endeavor on the blog circuit and keeping his hood status fresh. When you shoot clips in the ‘jects with boulders of that yola and baking soda-stained wife beaters, no one will ever accuse you of not keeping it real, right? Read the rest of this entry »

Well, it looks we are all wrong. Despite crickets from his camp over the past year, the slab-rider known as Dorrough has returned from falling off the side of this square earth of ours to ride candy-paint once again. Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes when I’m acting silly, I lower my voice down to a whisper and mutter out “Bannnnnnkhead.” Ironically, when Shawty Lo does it, he’s dead serious and that’s how he makes a living. But for what it’s worth, the former D4L member has managed to keep a career through the snap music trends and a wax war with T.I.—so he deserves a little fanfare for his next move. Which just so happens to be a GANGSTA GRILLZEELS with none other than DJ Drama. Read the rest of this entry »

Jayceon’s road to painting The R.E.D. Album hasn’t exactly gone according to plans. But when you’re rich and you have unlimited access to a studio, you make another mixtape with DJ Skee to pass the time. A few famous friends by the name of Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Waka Flocka and damn near everybody else get in on the action as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Break out the Braves caps because Shawty L-O and a few fellow ATLiens have unleashed the unofficial welcome video to “A-Town.” Directed by Mr. Boomtown, this kaleidoscopic chronicle of Atlanta’s art, beats and streets should help the D4L member get back on his feet after T.I.P. knocked him down a couple notches a while ago.

Also, is it bad when an R&B singer outshines every MC on the track with his quick-tongued raps?

“I shout out my city every time I write a hit/ Umbrella…ella…ella…A! A! A!”

Juvenile’s well past the legal age, but he’s still using the moniker and still going to be on radio courtesy of “We Be Getting Money,” the lead single from his upcoming album featuring Dorrough, Shawty Lo & Kango Slim. Although the man belongs to the man who made 400 Degreez, Dorrough sneaks up and arguably steals the scene with his guest appearance.

Cocky & Confident releases on 12.8 through Koch.
