We don’t know a ton about Big Sean’s forthcoming album, the followup to his sophomore album Hall of Fame, but we do it will be “raw” and his darkest album yet, as Sean told us in our recent interview. Today though we do know another huge feature for the upcoming project, as a video surfaced on YouTube, containing a snippet of one of the album’s songs. As heard in the video, Big Sean and Drake have a track on the album, which should be huge as their collaboration on Drake’s ‘All Me’ was fire. Check out the snippet of the track below.
Now Kanye is not only the first, but also the second, rapper to ever do a song with The Beatles’ legendary frontman Paul McCartney, as the two have combined talents with the lovely Rihanna for her track ‘FourFiveSeconds’. The song is available now on iTunesand was released via Roc Nation and Rihanna’s Westbury Road Entertainment company.
While mourning the loss of A$AP Yams (founder of the A$AP Mob), things for real as New Jersey rapper Retchy P told his followers on Twitter that it should have been Wale who died instead. After being called out for virtually no reason, Wale responded and the two exchanged a number of tweets. Even MMG‘s Fat Trel got involved as things started to get real. Check out the exchange below.
Watch the new video for Shady Record’s stand out track from ShadyXV, ‘Detroit Vs. Everybody’ track. This one features almost every rapper in Detroit (including Eminem, Big Sean, Danny Brown and more!). Stream the video now, below.
A new EP from OVO Sound‘s PARTYNEXTDOOR just may have leaked as four new tracks have appeared online, but not from the source itself as PARTYNEXTDOOR has not yet tweeted about the release. Check out the awesome new tracks below while they are still up and be sure to check him out on his upcoming world tour.
When I was first told to check out WebsterX from a friend of the site, I was skeptical, solely because the young MC hails from Milwaukee (which I admit isn’t fair). Sure, Milwaukee is my hometown and is less than 100 miles away from one of the best (if not best) music hubs in the world in Chicago, but let’s be real…Milwaukee has not historically been the best city for rap. Hell, the biggest rapper to ever come out of Milwaukee is Coo Coo Cal. And while ‘My Projects’ did reach the number one spot on the Billboard rap charts, that was just one song and well over a decade ago. ‘My Projects’ was an awesome track, but Cal was definitely not an artist that could put his whole city on the map. You would think that the city that boasts the “World’s Biggest Music Festival” would have at least a few worthy artists in the world’s best genre of music right now. But so far, it really hasn’t.
A couple of things Wale is passionate about is basketball and his hometown of Washington D.C. A couple of things Kanye West is passionate about is design and creating. Mix it all together and we just may have brand new uniforms for NBA’s Washington Wizards. In a recent interview, Wale told ESPN that he is in talks with Kanye to design the Wizard’s new uniforms. Let’s hope that something leads from this, as those uniforms would be the freshest on the hardwood.
“Used to ask for a verse, they said $500. Now they want to do a record, n*gga f*ck your budget”, raps Miami-native Bizzy Crook on the title track for his newest mixtape No Hard Feelings. While these lines may come off as vengeful and a contradiction to his “no hard feelings” mentality, it really isn’t. Rather Bizzy Crook, like all great rappers should (but who often don’t), raps about his real life and true experiences, to a more personal level than most rappers ever touch. Whether he is writing about rappers who wanted to charge for a verse who later had a change of heart when Bizzy began to create a buzz, or even the darker moments of his life when he used to battle suicidal thoughts, Bizzy Crook keeps things authentic. And his name is no coincidence, as Bizzy stays busy as well, now touring with Wale as part of the MMG rapper’s Simply Nothing Tour. Fortunately though he was able to sit down with us after he rocked the crowd on his Milwaukee stop of the tour, to talk about his No Hard Feelings project, working with artists and producers like Pharrell, Nelly and Boi-1da, Chicago influences and more.
Lil Wayne is very sorry for the wait yet again, as he has given fans another mixtape in anticipation of a forthcoming and delayed album. We don’t know when Tha Carter V is coming, as it was originally scheduled for a 2014 release, but at least we have Sorry 4 The Wait 2 to tide us over. S4TW2 features Weezy rapping over songs like ‘Coco’ and ‘You Guessed It’ and has features from Drake, Christina Millian, 2 Chainz and more. Download the full tape here.
Everyone loves a smart rapper, whether it shows through the quality of their lyrics or the way they promote their brand and music, intelligence in the rap game is very valuable. In a new video, fans now know just how smart and “logical” that rapper Logic actually is, as he solves a Rubik’s cube in under a minute. Not only does he solve the Rubik’s cube super fast, he does it in the middle of rehearsing for his upcoming world tour. Impressive to say the least.
The Under Pressure Tour kicks off in just over a week in Indiana and makes it way throughout the U.S., Canada and Eurpore. Fans can find ticket information and dates on his official website and be sure to check out Logic solving the cube for yourself below.
