“Felony charges, but capital made it a lower case.”

After all the years, there are only so many ways to touch on the same topics and even few options for a handful of Hip-Hop’s most dog-earred topics. But enter Starlito and his quotable-filled record “Gone” to swiftly brush those notions aside. Read the rest of this entry »

“Had a deal when I had just turned 19, now I look at the rap game as a ponzi scheme…”

With several years in the game, the last few spent strictly as an independent, Starlito’s mastered his craft as an artist and entrepreneur. By that, I mean he’s shown that he understands how to approach the game in its current state and attack it in uncompromising fashion Read the rest of this entry »

After writing about an artist for a while, doubt starts to creep in that make you wonder “Are people getting how good this guy is?” We’ve covered Starlito since forever, all the way back to when he was recording under All Star exclusively. His career and music have ebbed and flowed and right now both appear to be back at their peak. Read the rest of this entry »

“The b*tch get on my nerves, make me sick, I tell you what, if you go home, I’ll pay yo’ rent.”

Without a doubt, Starlito would’ve had a starting spot on most listeners’ playlists had he been born a few years earlier than whatever his current age is. His well-meaning, completely misogynistic track “Ho’ Problems” would’ve have fit nicely in same era when Eazy-E was transporting ladies in his “Automobile” and Todd Shaw was cranking out tunes complete with the echoing use of the word “b*tch.” Read the rest of this entry »

Right on the hell of Ultimate Warrior, Starlito gets right back to work, delivering yet another mixtape, #UW: Separation Anxiety. While I haven’t listened to the full project yet, the track “For My Foes (Four)” caught my ear on an early listen last night and it’s all adjectives and wordplay mashed up for listening pleasure.

The more and more I’ve taken the time to become familiar with Starlito over the years, the more and more I’ve respected everything he has going. Out of the clear blue, autumn sky, the 615′s most possessed MC pumps out a brand new, appropriately titled free album given his story. Read the rest of this entry »

Live From The Kitchen is never coming out but Yo Gotti is still on his dope boy steez for his 6th trip on the slalom with Cocaine Muzik 6: Gangsta Of The Year. If it’s gangsta shit you seek, then gangsta shit you shall receive as DJ Drama is up to his usual antics of yelling in the background and Young Jeezy, Lex Luger, Starlito, Kane Beatz and several others try their hand at flipping some finely cut powder.

What I’ll likely most remember Hip-Hop’s summer of 2011 by is the sudden explosion of group projects. Spitta, Wiz and Sean. Jay and Ye. Eminem and Royce. Gucci and Waka. Yet, the one I’ve invested a particular amount of interest in is ‘Lito and Don Trip’s Step Brothers. Read the rest of this entry »

Hip-Hop’s Dale and Brennan keep the momentum building from yesterday’s marathon session with the liberation of their “Life” video. If music is therapy, then this particular track is the couch in the shrink’s office. Lil Lody’s somber instrumental is a perfect platform for Trip and ‘Lito to wax frustrations from everything to Read the rest of this entry »

“I don’t think anyone really wants to see us/I’m in the cut, rollin’ up, I’m on my Wiz Khalifa/Let him tell it, I don’t need blunts/Oh well, more for me cuz/If Trip Dale, you can call me Brennan and find me in the trees bruh…”

Starlito and Don Trip are set to release their collaborative mixtape, Step Brothers, on July 25. Read the rest of this entry »

Of course Boosie Boo hasn’t been freed but let’s keep his name relevant. Off Star’s last tape, War With Myself, which I never got around to posting but never really stopped listening to personally. Read the rest of this entry »

Live From The Kitchen is never coming out but never fret trap boys and girls. Yo Gotti is back in the streets doing what he does best: passing out samples of baking soda-infused cocaine nuggets ’til the fiends keel over and die. Record label who? The Memphis kingpin does his own thing and he’s doing it well with help from Ciara, Waka Flocka Flame and Bigga Rankin. Gotti just turned surrended himself to the proper authorities because he’s a G like that but his music will do his bidding in his time off the streets. Read the rest of this entry »
