It was an epic moment when Jay-Z dropped a verse on "Don't Kill My Vibe" , but it was even more epic when Kendrick Lamar said he was the King of New York. A song entitled "Black Bandana" would make a lot of sense, considering that they are both gang neutral, but were involved in the streets. Who wouldn't want...
A very underrated rapper and a very underrated singer on one track. The visuals tell a story on this one.

I had the honor of seeing an Audubon performance in Brooklyn some months ago, and I can say his grind on the MTV show "Washington Heights" definitely translates to his real life.

"Nas, I analyze, drop a jewel, inhale from the L. School a fool well, you feel it like Braille, it aint hard to tell". Nas celebrates his timeless bars in a 20th anniversary remix.
The highly anticipated “Oxymoron” finally dropped and is now in stores. Q’s first major label debut sold 139,000 copies and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart. We’re just glad he’s selling more than 2 Chainz, proof for some that the industry is coming back to its senses. For the first time though, Q had to compromise as...
Fader TV does an interview with the new hip-hop sensation Young Thug, and man does he show some Lil Wayne mannerisms. When asked about Birdman he says "That n*gga like a real father" and "At the end of the day, you gone always wake up and love him". He also says, the only rapper he looks up to is Wayne,...
This track samples an amazing song entitled Indecision by Sampha. This is my first time hearing of YHIM, but I mess with him off the strength that he did this beat justice. He actually spit some real bars that were relevant to his life over this dope sample. Many would say this song gives off a Drake-ish vibe, but that...
