Directed by Austin Vesely. Produced by Vic Mensa and Peter Cottontale. In 1996, Dr. Dre claimed he’d “Been There, Done That,” and in 2013, Vic Mensa echos the same sentiments with “#DIDITB4.” Yes, the ultimate humble brag. I know the FSD staff is patiently waiting for Vic’s INNANET mixtape to drop, so hopefully we’ll get…

D2G – I-R.A.N.
Produced by DC No this isn’t an ode to Iranians, it’s actually an acronym from D2G, that I’m going to make you listen in to find out what it means exactly. No one likes a tattle tale. This is the first single from D2’s forthcoming album, JULY 9TH: A CANCER STORY. Look for that this…
Jeremih f/ Big Sean & Paul Wall – Ol’ Skool Pontiac
Bet you didn’t see this one coming, did you? Well, we didn’t either. Jeremih grabs Big Sean and Paul Wall for this ode to those old school whips (specifically Pontiacs). Jeremih’s currently working on his new album, but there’s no telling if this joint will make the final cut or not. Either way, this joint…
Common – Fine China [Remix]
Mixed by DJ Dummy and 9th Wonder. Com adds a verse to Chris Brown’s “Fine China” for this latest offering. DJ Dummy and 9th Wonder even add a little MJ in there too. From the sound of this one, I think Com should’ve been featured on the original. Spotted at Rap-Up.

Here’s his take: eGo finally drops his second effort, Vicodin: The Prescription presented by GoWhereHipHop and RubyHornet. The EP includes 8 tracks and features other Chicago acts such as Chance The Rapper and Add-2. eGo made sure…
