The only rapper I really can’t get enough of right now is Cali’s Blu. I dig him so much that when I heard an unfamiliar (new?) Blu joint on Mark Ronson’s Authentic Shit radio show, I had to snatch it. Not only is Blu consistently dope, he’s always changing up his sound. This song has […]
This is by far my favorite Chicago song, I’ve always dreamt of someone sampling it or even remixing it. Bird Peterson answered my prayers brining the horn section into the new millennium. Download (Mp3): Chicago-25 or 6 to 4 (Bird Peterson Remix) Bonus Download (Mp3): Wale-Freaks (Bird Peterson Remix) If you want more Bird Peterson […]
X.O.‘s mixtape, The Takeover: Part 2, comes hot off the release of The Mixtape About Nothing and demonstrates that DC’s rap scene isn’t a one trick pony. The mixtape features local producers and X.O. has a solid flow. The Takeover: Part 2 isn’t the showpiece that Wale’s new tape is and isn’t as stylish as […]
8 More days! Thanks to our dude Ges for the heads up!
A couple of weeks ago it was Wale announcing a deal with Interscope and today it’s Termanology. The Massachusetts native has been putting out hot material for the past three years and has just announced a deal with Nature Sounds. His album, Politics as Usual (in the same vein as his Hood Politics mixtapes, I […]
We haven’t been excited for a Lil Wayne mixtape like this since that little mixtape from late last spring (mainly because this one is oh so close to the release of The Carter III, even though last spring’s The Drought 2 was supposed to serve as a preview of The Carter III). Tracklisting: 1. Carter […]
Next week ML will be taking over SF (by taking over, we mean conquering a street bench to sleep on) in honor of the 15th annual Noise Pop festival (Feb. 26th to March 2nd). You will definitely catch us at Wale/Catchdubs & MSTRKRFT shows, respectfully. In between, we will be rocking fanny packs while riding […]
Chances are, what you’re about to read is the latest 2007 wrap-up amongst the hip hop blogosphere. And I don’t mean “latest” as in the “newest”. I mean “latest” as in everybody has done this before we did, and as a result, we’re late. Like how you wouldn’t want your girl’s period to be. To […]
One of my favourite and sorely unappreciated rappers is Chi-town’s own Rhymefest. Currently signed to producer Mark Ronson’s Allido Records, he is set to release his 2nd album, El Che, at some point this year (Wikipedia has it set for this spring. We’ll see.) In anticipation, he’s put another excellent mixtape, this time with a […]
Podcast I’m putting this one up kind of late. We taped it before Thanksgiving, but a mix of laptop trouble and holiday stuff got in the way so here it is. This is a funny one. We had an idea for a show, but it took a long time to put together so we ended […]
