Rapper O.T. Genasis has released the first track and single of his forthcoming R&B (Rhythm & Blacks) mixtape. The record features none other than Lil Wayne, and is titled ‘Do It’. Definitely check out the new record, produced by Mr. Hanky, as Weezy F. Baby and O.T. rap and sing over the piano laced instrumental.
The Childish Gambino drought may be coming to an end. The rapper/writer/creative hasn’t released any new music since his STN MTN / Kauai Mixtape-EP last fall, but when Donald took the Bonnaroo stage this weekend, he premiered a brand new untitled track. The song doesn’t have any rapping on it, but instead features layered melodies and crooning that sounds super Prince-y. The refrain seems to feature the lyrics “I’m in love when we are smoking that la la la la”.
Whatever this is from, we can’t wait to hear the full version. Watch the performance below.
After a very experimental phase that led to the LP Retro Hash, it seems that Roth is switching it up yet again. Well, returning rather. He dropped the official audio for a new track, “That’s Cute” which is produced by long-time collaborator, Chuck Inglish. Asher comes through with bar after bar of boastful, witty lyricism and wields his words as though they are artillery. The final product turns out to be a shining light for fans of the college-loving rapper. He also provided the subtle comment on soundcloud that more music is on the way. Check out the new track below.
In 2013, Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge teamed up and released an LP by the name of Twelve Reasons to Die. It followed the tale of a 1960’s Ghostface persona, Tony Starks and was based off of a comic by the same name. The LP was solid enough to warrant a second chapter in the story and it is set to be released on July 10th. Yesterday marked the second single release off of the project after “Return of the Savage”. The new track is entitled, “Let The Record Spin” and it definitely feels classic. It features fellow Wu-Tang Member, Raekwon. Check it out below.
Check out the music video for Casey Veggies’ new single ‘Tied Up’ featuring Dej Loaf. This West Coast rapper has definitely been gaining momentum this past year, as the former Odd Future affiliated rapper has had a core fan base for years. The new single can be purchased now on iTunes, and you can expect it to be another hit (following the success of his ‘Backflip’ record).
Watch the ‘Tied Up’ video below and check out our photos of Veggies’ recent opening performance for Big Sean in Milwaukee.
Roc Nation’s newest member, Chicago’s Vic Mensa, dropped his new music video today. The record, ‘U Mad’, features none other than Kanye West, and the two star together in the official music video. Make sure to buy the collaboration now oniTunes, as the track itself is as dope as its visuals.
It’s Days Before Rodeo (literally), as G.O.O.D. Music’s Travis Scott has released the first single to his debut album Rodeo, the follow up to his Days Before Rodeoproject that he released just months ago. This track is titled ‘3500’, and comes in at over 7-minutes long. And Scott shares those 7-minutes as he recruits Atlanta’s own, 2Chainz and Future, for the single. This one is produced by Mike Dean and Metro Boomin’, so if the rappers alone weren’t enough reason to check out the record, the production is fire.
Stream ‘3500’ below and purchase it now on iTunes.

It’s crazy how Ed Sheeran can flip a Fetty Wap rap song and turn it into a acoustic masterpiece! Maybe Fetty Wap, one of the newest XXL Freshmen, should team up with Ed for a mixtape? With some background support from The Roots, Ed Sheeran paid a visit to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon team and gave an awesome cover to Wap’s hit record, ‘Trap Queen’.
Cleveland rapper Shawn K has channeled his inner Jimmi in the new video for his previously released record “Hendrix”. The Jeff Ding shot visual shows him in various areas of his city, expressing his lyrics emotively from a residential neighborhood to an abandoned church.
Watch the video below.
