Great remix, but the city of Atlanta needs royalty payments.

My manager’s favourite [lyric] is: “A penny saved is a penny earned / So I’ll be stacking up this copper as the city burn.” Lot of people don’t know there history of the crashes of copper, silver and gold. I got grades in history. My precious metal game is immaculate.

Statik Selektah and Action Bronson had no right to make a video this beautiful.

Trap everlasting.

For those who can’t or won’t tolerate Drake. The guy who made “Cut Her Off” has more to say.

Ear Drummers Records’ Two-9 get together on an atypical beat from the boss. Shades of Billy Joel? The song appears on the group’s #AugustTwo9 EP.

Shy Glizzy might be the next great gangster rapper. His Eazy-E-like voice helps.

It works because The-Dream gets his Bobby Brown on.

Hadouken to your domepiece.

Kitchens & Choppas 2 is a sequel to probably my favorite album of 2014. It’s an economical eight songs with threadbare beats and Ca$h Out’s distinctive quavering, pimpish delivery. Calling the sound sparse is like calling money green. The stove, the strippers, and the scale float in endless space. It’s another jaunt through the trap, but as you’ve rarely seen it.
