Yelawolf Talks Occupy Wallstreet (Video)
October 29, 2011
While out on his “Hard White” Tour in preparation for his upcoming album release on Eminem’s Shady Records, Yelawolf spoke on the OccupyWall Street movement that’s engulfing the entire country right now. I wasn’t surprised to hear Yelawolf’s response in this interview as he’s always came off to me as the type of dude who is very much in tune to what’s going on in the world unlike most of that fake crap you see most rappers talk about day in & day out.

October 29, 2011
I’ve had this song on repeat several times since hearing it for the first time last night. “Ambition” is the title track to Wale’s new album dropping on Tuesday November 1st. Not only the does the production feel really warm & fits the mood, but the lyrics from three different brothas from different backgrounds with hopes & aspirations really comes across well. Listen to this song below & check out the lyrics to this joint. This is dope…

Maurice Garland x B.O.B Interview (Video)
October 28, 2011
Caught up with the homie B.o.B at his private listening session for his new album Strange Clouds earlier this week. Sounded pretty cool. He’s still doing his international pop star thing on there, but he told me that he also doing more of the Cloud 9, The Future, Hi! My Name Is B.o.B type stuff too on the album.I couldn’t get him to tell me what the big surprise was that he had on the album but he did talk about working with Andre 3000 on the track “Play My Guitar.” The album also features appearances from T.I., Nelly and one of those dudes from One Republic. – Maurice Garland

The Roots – “Life, Love, & Loot”
October 28, 2011
Inspired by the Captain Morgan commercial campaign of “Life, Love, & Loot”, Philly’s finest The Roots flipped the musical theme of the liquor brand’s primary song into a dope ass joint with a great classic rock feel. Black Thought aka Tariq Trotter kills this joint on the vocals so well it sounds like he may have outdid Lenny Kravitz himself at his own signature vocal style. The song won’t appear on the The Roots upcoming album “undun” due December 6th, but damn this joint is dope even if for a commercial campaign. Check out the Spin Magazine article with Questlove regarding the project & listen to the track below. Some Behind The Scenes video after the jump…. Glasses Up!

Peedi Crakk x CyHi The Prynce – “God Bless The Lyrical”
October 28, 2011
Now this joint right here is pure dopeness over a classic hip hop instrumental with Philly’s finest Peedi Crakk & Atlanta’s own CyHi The Prynce demonstrating how ill they both are as emcees. Wack rappers with no type of flow or skill need to study this freestyle joint right here. This particular track is going to appear on Peedi Crakk’s upcoming mixtape “Crakk Files 4″ in the near future. Until that drops I’m rewinding this joint right here as I type this….

Ne-Yo – “The Way You Move” feat. T-Pain & Trey Songz (Video)
October 27, 2011
I’m really diggin’ the visual aspects of this new Ne-Yo joint. All too often we see videos of artists spending money in the strip clubs, but this joint right here has a certain level of “James Bond” type of class to it. This makes every “average rapper in the strip club throwing money video” appear like a visual hole in the wall. By the interior of the building it looks like they shot this video here in Atlanta at the new Diamonds which is one of the newer strip clubs among a hundred of them around city. The video makes me dig the song even more…
Nesby Phips – “Changes” (Video)
October 27, 2011
Some of you rap artists are just lazy. My New Orleans homie Nesby Phips shot this new video for “Changes” straight off his iphone. The song will appear on this upcoming Phipstape: The Lockout due on November 14th that he spoke on in a previous video. That’s straight up like Phips man. The video captures him on the road, in the studio, & as a proud father. Nesby Phips…Producer, Emcee, Video Director, & all around hard worker. Nothing is gonna change for many of you other wack cats unless you get up off your ass & make some “Changes”.

Ambassador Rick – Fake Love (Pusha T Diss) [Video]
October 27, 2011
Not exactly sure to what extent & what the beef is about between Pusha T & his fellow Virginian Ambassador Rick, but dude didn’t waste much time after putting the Clipse brothas in his sights with the diss record before he followed up with this video. Despite it being a diss record aimed at Pusha T following his “Don’t F*ck With Me” freestyle, this “Fake Love” song comes off kinda dope. Now let’s get to the bottom of the he say she say shall we?

Future – “Tony Montana” (Video)
October 27, 2011
I never really dug this song until my 8 year old niece Amani used to make seriously funny faces while singing it whenever I was around. It doesn’t really fit what I do on my radio show, but my niece made me appreciate the song. I used to playfully give her a hard time & recite the chorus like “Pokemon Tana…Pokemon Tana” & she’d get pissed off & correct me that it was “Tony Montana”. Her favorite line in the chorus is…. “I’m ’bout to cop the Porsche”. I’d just look at her & laugh like “Yeah F’kn right”. When I saw the video dropped today I was impressed with the visual quality that director Jesse Terrero brought to it. I was also surprised to see the video for this was shot in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic which is a city I’ve been to quite often in the last 10 years. My niece likes it, I dig the cinematic value of the song, & I got love for some of my homies living in DR. Had to post this one…
