Styles P started moving at a fast pace on Twitter last night, looking to release tracks originally slated for a pre-album mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

The way Bussa Buss takes command of “Harsh,” one would think the track belongs to him, as opposed to Styles P. From the hook, to his verse, to random ad-libs Busta transforms what probably would have been just another throwaway record into a potential single. Read the rest of this entry »

“I be in the malls, I don’t be in the Hamptons, And I’m playing the wall, but the chains dancing.”

Styles and Jada do the back and forth thing for “It’s OK.” Sheek cameos in the video but it sure would have been nice to get a verse from that brother so we could pretend The Lox were reunited. Read the rest of this entry »

In September, Styles P will be dropping his fourth studio album, Master Of Ceremonies. But before that, Pinero’s giving away The World’s Hardest MC mixtape for free Read the rest of this entry »

Hard is an understatement when it comes to this intimidating remix of Ace Hood’s “Go ‘N Get It.” Read the rest of this entry »

Don’t think for a second the only reason this is getting posted is because the Yonkers brothers from different mothers covered such a highly-publicized track. I personally frown upon “freestyles” because it has all but turned into a thirsty attempt to get attention from someone who’s really put their creative juices to work (I’m talking to you, Dwayne). I’m also very vocal about Jadakiss and his overrated career but respect is always given when it’s due. Read the rest of this entry »

While passing up on any new material from this storied New York ensemble is never an option, getting my hopes up for another project isn’t either. For all the talk about Dre’s inability to release Detox for whatever reasons, Sheek, Styles and Jada have been talking of this mythical new album for years now. Read the rest of this entry »

Director Terrence Nance brings the empowering words of Pharoahe, Styles P and Phonte to life with the video for “Black Hand Side.” The visual’s masterfully put together and goes a long way to remind us all that when the the two mediums snap together like puzzle pieces, the effect of the overall project is amplified.

I’ll touch on why Jadakiss isn’t top 30, let alone in the first 5 rappers of all-time in the near future, but for now, pull up a chair at his table where he makes his bread and butter. His lastest street tape, I Love You, is on the horizon and for better or worse, it’s going to be everything we’ve come to expect from the raspy one over the past decade and change.

SP The Ghost ain’t for jokes and games, so he probably hasn’t used his tear ducts in ages. Good thing for Reks, the Boston bomber with the boom-bap sensibility. He’s the reigning Rhythm Eternal King Supreme and he most likely wears Carhartt overcoats in the summer. Together, they’re steady at work mopping up crocodile tears from rappers crying over spilled cognac. Read the rest of this entry »
