DJ Critical Hype – “Wu-Chainz” (36 Trap Houses)
Wu-Chainz? Wu-Chainz??! Okay, it’ll take a minute to get used to. But not much longer, as DJ Critical Hype has taken what is a dope concept and run off with it. A great pre-cursor for the coming mash of the two acts (Wu-Tang & 2 Chainz) at this year’s A3C.
Ghostface Killah – “Done It Again” feat. Styliztik Jones x Cappadonna x Big Daddy Kane (Prod. By Big Ghost)
Ghostface releases a new single, “Done It Again,†featuring the legend Big Daddy Kane, Cappadonna, and Styliztik Jones.
This joint represents the classic Ghostface vibe, celebrating women, their beauty, knowledge and strength. Having one of Hip-Hop’s most celebrated emcees and one of my all-time favorite artists (Big Daddy Kane) along for the ride was icing on the cake.

Homeboy Sandman x Edan – “Never Use The Internet Again” (Video)
Wait, wait! Homeboy Sandman & Edan want you to rock out to “Never Use The Internet Again” for certain… but watch the video and consider pre-ordering the “Humble Pi” LP (linked below) before you consider logging off for good, okay?

Solid list.
3D Na’Tee | Boo’d Up T.Mix | Monday Morning Exercise #026 (Video)
Daaaayummm! This put me in a mood. Why is 3D Na’Tee so good at delivering that good thug passion from the booth? Got me stuck on the possibility of a dream of being with her. Whew!
(Get it together, O. It’s just barz. Dope barz though.)

Oh! Got it. That last jump (here) was just for ‘practice’ huh? THIS is the long-awaited big jump… into the Grand Canyon… from a helicopter #WillSmithTheJump #BigWillieStyle
Redman – “Tear It Up”
Reggie serving that hard Hip-Hop on this “Tear It Up.” From ‘The Muddy Waters Too’ Movement. A real Hip-Hop movement #Facts
GoldLink – “Got Friends†feat. Miguel (Prod. By The Stereotypes) [Video]
Dope concept! A blending of concepts, in fact. Think Issa Rae meets Quentin Tarantino… and they hop in Doc’s Delorean and go Back To The ’80s. Word to the wise watcher: DO. NOT. BLINK! This video for “Got Friends” is NOT what you think, won’t end how you think, and the swerve will happen right as you think it is okay to look away for a sec.
(BONUS: The Eye Candy Trio is choice! Bonus bonus points if you recognize the lovely Bria Myles in there.)

Good times. Good chat. Real stuff. Give it an hour.

Young M.A Breaks Down “PettyWap†(Video)
Young M.A breaks down her “PettyWap” single. Makes it even doper when she helps you catch all the cleverness in the lyrics.
Young M.A just dropped her newest single “PettyWap†this month, a follow up to her March release “Praktice.†The Brooklyn-bred rapper initially rose to fame after her 2016 hit “OOOUUU†went viral, peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 later that year with the help of remixes by notable fellow New York MC’s like 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma. “PettyWap†has already garnered 7.2 million YouTube views since its release earlier this month. Orrin “Dr. O†Wilson and Antwan “Amadeus†Thompson co-produced the track. On the song, Young M.A raps about how girls often prefer her over their boyfriends.

Will Smith’s First Time Bungee Jumping (Video)
Mannnn!
I’m saying though… Can Will at least LOOK a bit nervous? Dude runs through challenges like a kid who’s never even skinned a knee. Maybe that’s the key to his seeming invincibility when he takes on these ‘fun’ life challenges: He channels childlike wonder and thrill at how awesome the end will be; giving NO power to the travails of getting the ‘means’ (Big Willie gots BREAD) or the time spent in the meantime (don’t dwell, just do)!

Big Flip Papi – “From Tha’ Bottom” feat. Jaz-O
Had Kool G Rap along for the feature on “Pour My Heart Out”… Now he has Golden Era Jaz-O on the guest flow. Very good look!
Cloudy Uchiha – “ApeSh!t” (Video)
Well, lookit this gem right here. Cloudy Uchiha just dropped the “ApeSh!t” visual where he’s going monkey dookie on the track man!

Check out these freestyle clips pulled from years of GGN episodes, featuring Snoop Dogg (of course), A$AP Rocky, Murs, Young M.A and more!

Young M.A – “PettyWap” (Video)
I’m rich and they f**kin’ hate it.
Yes yes! Young M.A got the checkbook, without the cookbook, just dealing with the rhyme book. And all the while haters are looking mad, M.A is just looking good. Her words, but I agree with them. Best co-co ‘bite down’ type flow on a track I have heard in a while. And I would NOT go looking for them. It’s just that M.A is certified dope! So when she drops something, anything, I MUST LISTEN & WATCH.

Mistah F.A.B. – “TRL Freestyle” (Video)
I mean, I think I knew that TRL was back on the air… but it’s not like I knew knew, like enough to check for it… until now. Skillful off-top freestyling with Sway feeding him topic after topic. Respek on the name Mistah F.A.B.
