Don’t let the lofty title fool you — sometimes more is more. As opposed to less is more. However you slice it you should check out this new one from emcee Defcee, who enlisted Pivot Gang partners Saba and Joseph Chilliams, as well as Noname Gypsy and Ben Earl Turner for “Purplewatersugardrank.” Defcee’s Damn Near…

L.O.D. [ShowYouSuck, Cadillac Duke, Hurt Everybody, Sidewalk Kal] – Neil Degrasse
Produced by Prince Ali & Supa Bwe I watch hella H2, History Channel and National Geographic Channel (spoiler!), so you know I’m already hip to the big homie Neil deGrasse Tyson. He’s pretty heavy in the science game, which is a field where I need to get my weight up. Anyhoo, this evening the L.O.D….
John Walt f/ Saba – She Say (F*ck You)
Yesterday the Pivot Boys were in Dru Hill mode (still waiting on them to decide who is Sisqo, The Dragon), and today they’re out here dropping F bombs. Aren’t they just the most fun loving crew in the biz? Tonight, Walt goes the solo route with his ace Saba in tow. They most definitely have…
G Count – Chiraq (The Game Diss)
Well, not everyone who was shouted out in Tyga and The Game’s “Chiraq To LA” was happy about it. The G Count, who obviously felt some type of way about Game incorrectly calling his former group the “L.E.D. Bogus Boys,” is the first to respond with his own rendition of “Chiraq.” He’s none too happy….
Taylor Bennett Covers The Chicago Reader
You’ll recognize a familiar face on the B-Side cover of this week’s Chicago Reader — that being rising Chicago emcee Taylor Bennett. Taylor’s appearance comes as part of a larger story on Chicago’s new crop of rappers titled: “Five honors students from Chicago rap’s freshman class.” The piece by Leor Galil covers the scope of…
Bodi Deeder f/ Squirt G – Mayweather
Produced by Novacane Deeder and Squirt G join The Money Team in this expensive sounding new record, “Maywather.” This one is absolutely outside of my tax bracket. Real champion music.
Lil Durk Says The Game Response Is Coming, Bump J To Be Featured
Lil Durk dropped by 107.5 WGCI last night to chat with DJ MoonDawg about a slew of topics, as Durk seems to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue right now. Durk not only spoke on his upcoming Def Jam project (Drake is to be featured?) and the XXL cover, but also addressed the elephant…
Sicko Mobb Sign To Polo Grounds/RCA
Congrats are in order for Lil Trav and Lil Ceno of Sicko Mobb, as the duo just inked an official record deal with Polo Grounds/RCA. You’ll note that in late 2013 Sicko Mobb landed a lucrative publishing deal with Stargate/Sony ATV, so now they have an official label to call home. There’s no denying that these two…
Lil Durk f/ Young Thug – Party
Produced by Young Chop Wow, Durk really took it there with the new single from his forthcoming Def Jam album, which he is in Atlanta working on now. He grabbed one of his ATL friends, Young Thug, to assist on this new radio/club ready joint, “Party.” Young Chop on the beat. How could you not…
Tree – All Dat
Tree gives us a new/old song, where he goes in over Kayne West’s “Devil In A New Dress” instrumental, which he recorded back in 2010. You rarely hear Tree attack industry beats, but if he wants to he can do that great as well. No one and nothing is safe from his wrath.
