From The Underground – The Usual Suspects.

The Usual Suspects are a Chicago-based rap crew who just released their self-titled debut EP online.  Rapper Ebonics kicks impeccable, effortless flows while group producer the Professional provides soulful, surprisingly polished beats. Nothing you haven’t heard before on here, but If you like throwback hip-hop with strong rapping and great..

Game – Jump Off (ft. Ja Rule) (produced by Scott Storch).

These two Game tracks leaked via this unofficial mixtape. Game and Ja Rule (remember that guy?) make a surprisingly strong combo, crappy Scott Storch beat and all.

Starlito – What Was I Thinking (produced by DJ Burn One)

Starlito (aka All Star) and DJ Burn One’s Renaissance Gangter is the South’s answer to Prodigy and Alchemist’s Return of the Mac.

Snoop using his international pop star status to support aspiring West Coast rappers is nothing new. Previously, he’s cosigned Terrace Martin and Crooked I. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement: Snoop gives..

Gucci Mane – Tired of You.

(image) I’ve been transfixed by this Gucci Mane song for the past few days. I don’t care where you’re from or what notions you have about “real hip-hop.” This beat bangs like Donkey Kong’s down+B in Smash Bros. And that’s coming from one of the most stalwart Gucci-haters. Get it..
