The Weeknd gets buried alive (kinda) in the official video for “Tell Your Friends,” the Kanye-produced single from Abel’s Beauty Behind The Madness LP and one of my current favorite songs. Beauty Behind The Madness hits stores and digital retailers Friday (8/28). Make sure you tell your friends to tell their friends to cop four…

Eryn Allen Kane – Slipping
Ms. Kane slows it down a bit for her latest release, “Slipping.” It’s a bluesy tune that continues to highlight just how dope she is on the vocals and at putting songs together. This young lady has a bright future ahead of her. Find out why with “Slipping.” She’s falling, she can’t get up.
On The Set: Ty Money – Ricky Killa
Recently, our homie Ty Money took a trip out West to shoot the video for his gripping new single, “Ricky Killa.” Seriously, it’s one of the dopest thematic joints of recent memory. The track tells the tale of Ricky’s killer from Boyz N The Hood. Sure, we know what happened to Ricky at the end…
Saint Millie – Benz
Produced by OakStreetMedia Saint Millie just unleashed something new because it’s fresh and because he can. Unexpected drops are always the best, and he dedicates this new one to his Benz friends.
Sean Price f/ Vic Spencer – Metal Beard
I just got around to pressing play on Sean Price’s final album, Songs In The Key Of Price. That was a sad sentence to type. He was one of the true underground kings and an emcee’s emcee — not to mention a great loss to rap fans everywhere. Those that know, know. He was taken…
eGo Jaleel – GANG
Produced by The 25th Hour eGo and 25th hit head on for the squad goals theme song of 2015: “Gang.” And no, this isn’t a song about gangbang activity. Neutron life over here. It’s just a song for your posse. Word to the 90s.
Video: Logan – Never Fall
Produced by Flight. Directed by J. Krown The gang’s all here yet again for Logan’s latest visual, “Never Fall.” Flight, Logan, Krown — a.k.a. the Three Headed Monster. This winner from Logan premiered on WGCI last night via Jamal Smallz, and now hits the internets in a rare video form. The FEO Mob were nice enough…
LYK f/ Johnny May Cash & YB – Up All Night
Newly formed production duo, LYK, get down with the Chop Squad (Johnny May and YB, to be exact) to keep everyone “Up All Night” with this fancy new remix. Johnny blesses the hook, while YB handles biz on the verses. It’s a winner.
Twista – However You Want It
T’s freestyle onslaught continues with this jazzy release titled “However You Want It.” He’s still undefeated on the microphone. He takes it back to the old days on here, and it sounds sensational.
Video: SD f/ Domino – Goddamn
Directed by Nick Brazinsky Good Lord, SD returns with another hot one. Yes, his new mixtape, Just The Beginning, is slated to drop next week, but who says SD can’t toss out a few appetizers before the full meal. Indulge in “Goddamn” above. Domino on the assist on this one. DGB
