If you’ve been paying attention to either Boi Jeanius or Mic Terror’s timeline over the past few months, you’ve noticed a freestyle series they’ve been doing called #FuckEmUpFridays, where they casually emcee and DJ while busting ass over some of your favorite instrumentals. Rhyming, cutting — you know, real hip-hop shit. Light work. Today, they’ve…
It’s been a long time coming, and yesterday it came rather unexpectedly. Yes, Sir The Baptist’s official Atlantic Records debut, Saint or Sinner, is here. This album drops on the heels of the announcement that he’s dating cultural legend Brandy, and a recent cosign from Stevie Wonder. Major things are happening for Sir right now,…
Rory Fresco with the heatwave. While we wait for Rory Rory’s next project, the Kansas City representer takes us to the left coast real quick with “California Freestyle.” Rory’s been hitting us with nothing but heat lately, for real. Listen to “California Freestyle” below and stay tuned for that Teen Spirit project from Rory.

Arguably the rawest emcee in Detroit and arguably the rawest producer in Detroit, have decided to put out a full length and the timing…
I woke and saw some sites posting that Lupe had dropped a new single titled “Coulda Been.” But immediately upon pressing play I recognized it as one of the great Lupe leaks from close to a decade ago. I know FSD was responsible for a slew of those (sorry Lu!), but we had no hand…
Chicago R&B staple and star in the making, Josh K, just caught a leak of his new single “Basic.” Evidence that the movement is moving. Don’t be basic, stream “Basic” below.
Directed by @HOTC_TV Ceito is back with Kembe, and we walk with the duo through the Chi City streets. And, er, it’s rather mortifying. Shit can get real, real quick in this city, so keep that third eye alert at all times. Watch these two come together with this solid outing in visual form below.

Last night while on a tour stop in Atlanta, Smino brought out Teddy Pinnedherass for a surprise appearance and performance of “Chopped N Skrewed.” Smino had been out covering it on the road during his Swanita Tour, and last night he upped the ante by bringing out the actual T-Pain. Gotta…
