Young Devyn ‘Riding Out’ To A Beat In The Passenger Seat (Video)
October 16, 2018
Wow! Young Devyn has been in the game since BEFORE becoming the 16-year-old phenom we’ve come to respect and check for. Seems crazy to say that an early teen has YEARS in the game, but then I think about the Golden Era (Da Youngstas, Shyheim The Rugged Child, all the way up through Buckshot Shorty and way more) and YEP! That’s how it was, and that’s how it is in real Hip-Hop.
Or, at least, how it is SUPPOSED to be. Stop with the mumblin’ young’ns… Get your BARZ up! Like Young Devyn.

October 15, 2018
Bwaaaaahahaaaa! Got eeem!
Kanye had to know that that public, very public, White House sit-down with President Trump was going to land him smack dab in the middle of a bunch of memes, spoofs, and other forms of Tom Foolery at his expense. And SNL got it IN on him!
Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin) meets with Kanye West (Chris Redd) and Jim Brown (Kenan Thompson) in the Oval Office.

Watch Onyx “Rate The Bars†(Video)
October 11, 2018
Ha! That’s why they evaluate these bars without being told who spit them. Honest appraisals of the lyricals. And these Onyx cats are HARD on the bars!
Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr from Onyx came in to rate some bars. They also rated themselves a much deserved 5.

T.I. – “More & More” feat. Jeezy
October 11, 2018
Yeah, your fave emcee is cool but he’s not a T.I. Tip drops another fire track off the “Dime Trap.” This one features Jeezy and some church service organ-playing, marching band banging in the beat!! It all works out in the mix beautifully. Once again, it’s good in the hood. Listen.

Jack Frost – “You’re Beautiful” (Video)
October 11, 2018
Bruuh! I look up, and I see my dude from Tuskegee… my hometown… my fam-lam from the 46… doing his craft… and I am posting IMMEDIATELY! To every dreamer out there, start! Just start.
I remember this kid had nothing on the studio session or beats, didn’t even have an ‘MC’ name, but he just started! Bruce Berry just started rhyming out in front of school and in the lunch room (side note: tables in there make for the best freestyle beat-making, know that). Fam started drawing small crowds. Moving up the road and enrolling at Auburn High, with Auburn University as the backdrop, he did the same things as an artist on the come-up; but drew bigger crowds. A talent show here, a hole-in-the-wall there, all while saving bits of change from part-time gigs. Facebook gets big and provides a platform to take his talents wherever the Internet goes and off Bruce – um, excuse me, Jack Frost now – goes. Earning a bit more with a full-time job, continually building a solid rep as an artist and building a network of support, J. Frost kept grinding.
Then life stepped in: Love happened. The real sh!t. Not just ‘bae’… QUEEN! And when the money piled enough to get a song inspired by her written AND recorded… AND to get a music video shot… why not feature his beautiful queen as the co-star in it? EXACTLY! Why not? That’s what J. Frost did. Absolutely no reason not to celebrate the Black Queen in your life as your co-star in every way!
Y’all better take a note from J. Frost: There is no need to look for a star when she has stood by you all along. Tell that sista, “You’re Beautiful.” He wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it go!
JACK FROST – YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL (CD BABY)
(Even Sir Too $hort, the pimp for life, co-signed this ode to Black love. Hit the jump and see!)

Food/Travel: Jo Koy’s Filipino Foodie Course Looks Epicly Delicious (Video)
October 10, 2018
You didn’t think Action Bronson was the only rapper that was heavy into foodie-ism, did you? Actually, I kinda get it if you did… what with Bam Bam being the one we see most across that part of the blogosphere. But First We Feast just busted through that crusted wall!
Welcome to the Curry Shop: a new weekly series that explores one of the world’s most misunderstood comfort foods. From Japan to Jamaica to China to Vietnam, every culture has its own spin on a bowl of curry—and Indian-Canadian rapper Horsepowar is here to sample them all.
The first stop on Horsepowar’s quest is the Philippines. To help Horsepowar answer some of her burning curry questions, she’s teaming up with the hilarious Filipino comedian and food philosopher Jo Koy. At Maharlika in NYC, Jo drops some knowledge about Bicol Express—a spicy, coconut-based stew that bears a striking resemblance to some of the curries Horsepowar has sampled in her travels. But the feast doesn’t end there: From remixed chicken and waffles, to 7-Up–cured pork tenderloin, Jo and Horsepowar also explore the cultural roots of Filipino fusion before making a final verdict on Bicol Express. Is Bicol Express truly a curry? Is curry really just a stew? Find out the answers to these existential food queries on the series premiere of the Curry Shop.

Apollo Brown x Joell Ortiz – “Reflection”
October 10, 2018
Another banger from the forthcoming “Mona Lisa” LP. Apollo Brown lays a track for Joell Ortiz’s “Reflection” of a life journey that has taken him from street grind & rhyme to the Slaughterhouse, throughout the travails of the music biz and life in general. Been a hell of a ride – up, down, and both sides of the Hudson son!
