Don’t know if the article is appropriately titled, but let me say this: “I think Block may have found a winner with this one.”With the loss of Yung Joc who went platinum off his first album you could tell there was something missing. Gorilla Zoe stepped up and held it down but Block needed something else that was just as solid as Zoe to rectify it’s title as a label in the south to be reckoned with. Supplya seems to be a different kind of rap artist. Number one he doesn’t sound like anything that’s out there playing right now. His lyrical game is sick and he has his own signature sound and style. More Below.
Whenever you talk about the best emcees, at one point you have to bring up Andre 3000. He’s been doing his thing for over a decade. Alongside his partner Big Boi, he’s made classic music; timeless even. People also mention some of his solo songs as being the best of this era. Point blank, he’s a legend in this business.
The mixtape we have all been waiting for. DJ Drama and Chris Breezy does a Gangsta Grillz Mixtape titled “In my zone”. We had a chance to listen to the mixtape in it’s entirety and we must say it’s dope from beginning to end. Make no mistake Breezy is one talented brother. Download mixtape here. He also attended Naomi Campbell’s Haiti Relief Fashion Show check out his pics below.
I remember when this went down up in New York. Another innocent brother shot to death by police with no explanation and everybody in New York paralyzed with fear to do anything about it. Big Ken from 334 mobb did a song titled “Remember Sean Bell. The song is dope and may this serve as a reminder that if there is no justice then there is no peace. Check out the song below.
2010 may be the year of natural disasters but this is also the year of good music. R&B singer Raheem Devaughn has a new mixtape that is just ridiculous titled “Mr February aka March Madness”. Make sure you go and listen to it and download the mixtape here.
We have been patiently waiting for this mixtape. Jay Electronica may be what hip-hop needs to revive it’s self from consistent dumb downed repetitive lyrics that you hear so much on the radio. That music is practically shoved down our throats. Thank God for the mixtape game. More below.
Remember when female emcees had place in hip-hop? Remember when people like MC Lyte, Queen Latifah and various others could spit verses to make you think and it was an acceptable form of mainstream hip-hop? Well we are bringing that back by featuring artist that do just that. Meet Tarica June… More Below.
One of the nicest lyrical rappers out of VA, we had been sleeping on his mixtape. I pulled it out today and realized how much of home I really missed. I think it’s high time that more attention needs to be given to the D.C.,Maryland,Va area when it comes to music. We are now going back to the days of making music for the love and not about how many record sales, or who landed on what charts. Mixtape below.
For all you Dilla fans, DJ Rasta Root breaks it down to the very last compound about J-Dilla and his work and also releases a collection of Dilla songs on a album titled “Dj Rasta Root’s The Rest of Dilla Vol. 1-The Dillamentary”. I was listening to Dilla the entire day on Saturday what are the chance of me logging in to my email acct today and seeing the Dillamentary? Great minds think alike enjoy. I’m sure you will like this as much as I did. Mixtape below.
Swazy Baby should be commended. While other up and coming artists are busy trying to bury their underground past, Swazy Baby continues to capitalize on his. And why not? It was using mixtapes as a way to build his buzz up intially, Swazy caught the eye of Bigga Rankin.
Clicking up with B-Rich and TJ Chapman, B.o.B was able to turn his underground success into a deal with Atlantic Records.After a slew of critically acclaimed mixtapes, cross-country tours and commercial placements B.o.B still has that spark in his eyes and energy in his voice that he did when I first saw him on stage.
The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene.
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up. You wouldn't expect an artists who has signed to major deals, posted hit records and has sold units to still speak about grinding it out. But Yo Gotti isn't the average artist
