The Compton native who recently was signed to Pharrell’s label i Am OTHER released a new smooth joint entitled “Inspired.” The track features dope production from Pharrell Williams and nice verses from the youngin’. The 17 year old rapper even handles chorus duty on his new single and might I add that he has a great voice.…

Music Video: MellowHype- “La Bonita”
by Anthony Porcelli •
“La Bonita” is the lead single off the upcoming album, Numbers, from OFWGKTA’s MellowHype. “La Bonita” has one of the most unique beats I’ve heard, but its nothing we haven’t come to expect from the wildly creative Hip-Hop collective. Hodgy kills his verse and proves to us once again that he’s just as talented- if…
Mixtape: Skyzoo – Theo Vs. J.J. (Dreams Vs. Reality)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Skyzoo is a very talented underground NY rapper that I just happened to get into recently. He has a very solid discography (mostly mixtapes) and “Theo Vs. J.J. (Dreams Vs. Reality) is a great edition. This tape really shows why he is one of the top NY rappers at the moment even though he still…
Hit-Boy ft. Big Sean- “Option”
by Anthony Porcelli •
Hit-Boy’s debut mixtape, HITstory, really exceeded my expectations; this dude can RAP. Maybe my expectations should have been higher since Kanye signed him to GOOD Music, but ever since he signed 2 Chainz I think my low expectations are understandable. But as I said before, contrary to what I expected, Hit-Boy’s debut was a pleasant…

Fat Joe – “Pride N Joy” (ft. Kanye West, Miguel, Jadakiss, Mos Def, DJ Khaled, Roscoe Dash and Busta Rhymes)
by Hummel •
Recently Pride N Joy came out on Youtube yesterday. Though this song is not necessarily new, the song is worth to put up in case some people missed it. Fat Joe puts together some of the heavyweights of the game to this day to give a great track that is one of my favorite songs. Though the…
Talib Kweli ft. Jessica Care Moore- “Fly Away”
by Anthony Porcelli •
Talib Kweli just released this track in collaboration with poet Jessica Care Moore. “Fly Away” is produced by German producer Crada, featuring an incredibly catchy sample of Tracy Chapman’s “She’s Got Her Ticket”. Kweli’s verses on this track are phenomenal, the guitar influenced production is nothing short of perfect for the track, and Jessica Care…
Game ft. Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Tyga & Wiz Khalifa- Celebration (CDQ)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
I remember when Game said that his new LP will have no features (via DX). But instead of staying true to his word Game recruited Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Tyga & Wiz Khalifa for an underwhelming single entitled “Celebration.” This track was premiered on Big Boy’s Neighborhood in L.A. and will be featured on Game’s forthcoming album.…
Xzibit – Louis XIII (prod. Dr. Dre)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
MTV’s Pimp My Ride show host, Xzibit is back to the music scene with a new dope joint produced by Dr. Dre. I didn’t expect much from the West Coast rapper’s new single, but I was most definitely wrong. Xzibit worked with his fellow Cali natives King Tee, Tha Alkaholiks on “Louis XIII” and all rappers delivered. The beat…
