Rampage – So Amazin’ [Prod. by Young Chop]
This 8TMG compilation, helmed by Young Chop, is shaping up rather nicely. Chop, who is never one to hold his tongue, has been surprisingly quiet about this project, and has decided to let the music do the talking instead. The last leak, “Codeine,” was ranked as one of our favorite records of the week, and…

MTV caught up with Q-Tip at the 2012 Source Awards BET Hip-Hop Awards down in ATL, and when pressed Tip grabbed Pusha and then offered this quote: “If there’s a Cruel…
IS∆ – Cosmo
Twista’s newest acquisition is a group by the name of IS∆ — even if they don’t describe themselves as a group: “We’re more like one functional body; a body that doesn’t sleep until work is put in.” And that’s from the horses mouth. Check out their latest spaced out offering entitled “Cosmo” below. ISO – Cosmo (4)
