Chicago group 21st Century Hip Hop are claiming Mr. “This is Why I’m Hot” bit their concept for a rock-infused record Mims did called “Devilhorns”. Apparently, Mims dropped “Rockin Rollin” years after 21st Century unleashed “Devilhorns”, and the concept was lifted completely. Sounds a bit far-fetched, but hey, anything can happen. See for yourself.

Here’s Twista’s verse from Red Cafe’s “There He Go”. Not sure when or where the full version will surface, however. In other Twista-related news, Category F5 has officially been pushed back until July 14th, which will enable “Wetter” to breathe a little longer until the next single is released (potentially the R. Kelly joint, “Yellow…

Here’s a bonus track from Reno’s recently released mixtape, New Year, New Money. Also new, is the new cover that Reno put together for the mixtape.  It’s definitely under the Pen & Pixel act.  Next time you need more diamonds, a Bentley and your own champagne, though.

Shouts, again, to Decatur…

Larry is back!

Shouts to Decatur Dan for this one: Recently I got a chance to go be a fly on the wall at No I.D.’s studio. No I.D. was working on a few tracks with Mikkey Halsted for his album which everyone waiting for. Being in the room and seeing the whole creative process of how music…

Hi haters, I’m back off hiatus. Apologies for the lack of updates over the weekend. I’ve been on a much needed “vacation” So let’s kick things off with Phil G.ood performing “Crafted” live at GLC’s Flight School concert. If you’ve ever seen Phil live, you know his set is serious. “Crafted” was produced by the…

Bishop gets a bit grimey on this one.  I even heard a few Aye’s! FNF Up! Bishop G – “Show Off” (Prod. by Johnny Quest)

GLC feat. Bump J – “The Big Knot” Last night Gangsta L. Crisis had his Flight School concert at the Wild Hare in the lovely Wrigleyville neighborhood.  I love seeing Hip Hop shows over there because the traditional Wrigley crowd look into the windows of Wild Hare trying to figure out exactly what’s going on in…
