Calez – Ceito
Calez, who some know as Calez Ceito, drops a new record by the name of “Ceito.” This is also another leak from his forthcoming project titled Ceito. See how that works? Everything is cyclical. This joint is super hot, and is my favorite offering from Ceito yet. The laid back groove coupled with an ill…

Some new/old Chano from the dusty vaults of yesteryear. To place a time stamp on this I’d say it was recorded/written around summer-ish 2012. I could be wrong, though.

Nicki Minaj f/ Lil Herb – Chi-Raq
Okay, well this is a curveball. Nicki grabs Herb and kicks the Herb/Bibby flow for this new joint called “Chi-Raq.” We told you this years ago, but Herb’s officially out of here now. He pretty much just wrote his own check with this one. Unbelievable.
