Video: Patman Son of Chicago – Lit
Directed by DGainz. Produced by Youn-N-Fly Beatz. David Drake put me on this record last night and it’s a winner. It samples the Brenda Russell record Big Punisher famously sampled for “Still Not A Player.” Actually, like 20 people have successfully sampled this joint, ahem, Ariana Grande. Patman definitely puts the popular phrase “Lit” to…
Tink f/ K Camp – Jupiter (Remix)
Produced by DJ West & LDB Our favorite song off Tink’s Winter’s Diary 3 gets the remix treatment courtesy of ATLien, K Camp. And yes, we have to admit that this “Jupiter (Remix)” is out of this world. Take a ride on their rocket ship below, and be sure to grab WD3 if you haven’t…
Reuel x Oba Rowland – Ain’t Hard To Tell
It ain’t hard to tell, Reuel and Oba excel and prevail. And they show and prove on this rolling new release, “Ain’t Hard To Tell.” Some fantastic Detroit flavor for the weekend, and a nice vocal pairing from Oba Rowland and Reuel.
Sunny Woodz f/ The Boy Illionis & Saba – Rolling Stone
Produced by Kodo Man, Sunny Woodz seemingly has songs with everyone. Everything he’s touched lately has been fuego, and he doubles down yet again — this time with features from Saba and The Boy Illinois. That boy’s rolodex is strong. Papa was a rolling stone, and papa liked this joint. No pun intended.

G Herbo – L’s
Produced by C-Sick While we continue to wait on Ballin’ Like I’m Kobe, the artist formerly known as Lil Herb blesses us with a new release he’s calling “L’s.” As far as L’s, as in losses, Herb isn’t taking any this year — or next year for that matter. See what all the fuss is…
New Project: Do or Die – Picture This 2
Without warning, Do or Die drop their long-awaited new album, Picture This 2. The group’s first since 2006’s unofficial, Get That Paper. But in 2015, they emerge with Picture This 2, the sequel to their debut album which dropped almost 20 years ago. For this release, they’re back with Rap-A-Lot Records, and give us 16…
New Project: Netherfriends – Logan Square
Netherfriends has so much material recorded, in the vaults, and just laying around that he can up and drop an album whenever he feels like it — and today he did just that with Logan Square. And it’s not just any old album, it’s a punk rock album. Dropping an album out of the blue?…
