New Deal Crew/Project Mayhem affiliate Chris Crack links with MC Tree once again, this time for the first offering from the forthcoming Mayhem Machine project entitled The Rest Of The World.

On The Set: Lil Durk – Dis Ain’t What You Want
Durk’s first official single from his Def Jam debut is almost here and today, he shot the official visual for it. The single is entitled “Dis Ain’t What You Want” and finds Durk over some mean production from Paris Beuller. No word on when the track will impact, but you can definitely expect to hear…

Video: Njomza – Lonely World
Directed by Brian Petchers. It’s a lonely world for Njomza — the first lady of Mac Miller’s Most Cool collective. After watching this clip, I’m fairly certain Njomza’s world won’t be lonely much longer. Seriously. Her debut project, Gold Lion, drops on April 22nd.

Chella’s forthcoming nationally distributed project, The Realest B*tch In It, drops next Tuesday (April 16), and to tease her fans until the full release she’s blessed us with the cover art. Look for the project to impact next week. It’s sounding rather, um, real thus far.
