I first heard this beat exactly two years ago when I was at Twista’s compound for the “Birthday” video shoot. Funny how time flies. That same day I previewed a handful of tracks that were to appear on Category F5, which eventually dropped in July of ’09. A few of them didn’t go on to make the final cut,…

Cayex Illah – The 30 Shot Laws of Drama
After well over a year of planning, recording, mixing and collecting; Cayex Illah finally unleashes his latest project: the Sean Mac-presented The 30 Shot Laws of Drama. Cayex is an emcee and producer who I have a great amount of respect for, as this man has had his hand in some of the biggest movements…
Video: D. Mose feat. YP & Young Diesel – Eastside Crazy
Directed by Leondotcom. Track produced by Tony “BainesGod” Baines. A gritty clip that really brings to life this Eastside anthem from the Stay Humble crew. This trio hit the streets in the snow to show exactly how they do it over East. This track can be found on D. Mose’s Loose Squares Vol. 2 project,…

Lupe Fiasco Covers XXL’s May Issue
About. damn. time. I was just remarking to someone last week, that it was bullshit Lupe hadn’t landed on any major magazine covers leading up to the release of Lasers. I mean, no shots at Wiz, because he’s doing his thing in a major way, but it appeared the promo and press he received prior…
FSD x DosLokos Present: Bump J Chopped & Screwed
Not from Houston, but I rap a lot I’ve been into jamming Screw since High School. Back when you couldn’t just search for the Mediafire link via the Google, you actually had to dig and hunt down actual DJ Screw cassettes. By the time they got this far up north, they were usually a dub of a…
Video: The Cool Kids – Bundle Up
Simply put: this is a great video Directed by BBGUN
mikeflo + Xtreme – Eyes Open, Fists Clinched
I’m proud to announce what could be one amazing project: a full length album from emcee mikeflo and producer Xtreme. There’s no question this could be something special, but I hope it doesn’t go the way of many of these proposed “group” or “joint” albums, and never actually comes out. That happens more than not these days,…
Video: Psalm One – Better Than My Last (Remix)
Remix produced by Brandon All Day, not to be confused with Brian “All Day”. My ace, Fluffy, compiled some great shots from my European Tour last year, along with some unforgettable randomness to accompany this Remix. Brandon Allday of Big Quarters (www.bigquarters.com) remixed the song “Better than My Last”, from Vol.1 of my #WomanAtWork series….
