Say what you want about women playing the hip-hop sex kitten, but Sassi Blaque is irresistible on this Big Tone-produced cut. What’s more, sex appeal is no substitute for talent as she guts the track and she does it with 300% more class and style than her male counterparts. I’m pretty sure half of the plays this has on Soundcloud are mine.
Bonus Big Tone/Sassi Blaque cuts after the break.

R.A. The Rugged Man had already inked his name in the history book. He recorded with Biggie, he made a song called “Every Record Label Sucks Dick,” and his antics are the stuff of legend. He’s a relic of the 90s, a great one. So you’d be forgiven for not expecting much from his 2013 album Legends Never Die aside from a few cool Buckwild beats. But apparently his story wasn’t finished. Out of nowhere, R.A. returns with a flow refined over 20 years and an oddball personality that’s strangely human and doesn’t just play to his mythos. When it comes to rap, ‘Where are they now?’ is a question that often gets uncomfortable answers (see Tim Dog). R.A. The Rugged Man is the glorious exception.

Belated praise for one of my favorite releases of the year so far. Life in Technicolor Vol. 1 revisits Atlanta bass music with accessible party jams and glowing nostalgia. Even if you only have a cursory knowledge of the era (hand raised), the EP is undeniably fun. “All Night Long” would have owned radio in simpler times with a catchy hook and sing-song verses made to be recited ad nauseum in the club. “All I Need” puts Ghost Town DJ’s to way better use than Ciara (and supposedly, she ripped off the idea). Between Spree Wilson and Future, Atlanta pop rap is in good hands right now.

Scotty has come a long way as a rapper since he first started recording with DJ Burn One, but he has his work cut out for him on a track with Starlito and Killa Kyleon who have been trading crazy verses for some time now. “My Shoes” comes from Scotty’s new tape #FAITH.
