Machine Gun Kelly – “Rap Devil” (Eminem Diss) [Video]
September 5, 2018
You sober and bored, huh?
Daaayummm!
Well, if you’re gonna poke a bear, you may as well make it a super-crazy super-lyrical eat-motherf**ckers-and-they-lunch-for-breakfast bear. Actually, we could say Eminem did the poking and MGK dropped this to show him sh!t ain’t furry ’round these parts!
(More like FURY. Let the dissing begin/continue!)

Calvin Valentine – “KSSâ€
September 5, 2018
As was the case with “Vhs” Calvin has a story behind the music. Here’s the story behind “KSS” (off the forthcoming “Keep Summer Safe” project due out in a bit over a week).
I wrote “KSS” on January 1st 2018. I had the flu and was feeling down and out physically. But my spirits were high cause I had seen my two favorites John Mayer and Dave Chappelle perform at The Forum for New Year’s also just ate some ganja food. I forced myself to go in the studio cause I always want to make something the 1st day of the new year. I ended up making the beat out of a song my girlfriend (Danielle) had made. Once the beat was together the hook just popped into my head. It took all my energy to record it but I kept those recordings for the final version cause you can feel the emotions in those takes. The song is my ‘MJ Flu Game.’

“Keep Summer Safeâ€Â (due out September 14th) is available for pre-order now.

Eminem – “Kamikaze” (Album)
September 3, 2018
You heard about that surprise Eminem LP drop, right? Grabbed that yet? If not, I got it linked… maybe bag that before you head out to the cookout. Surely someone is bringing forks, plates, napkins and drank. Here’s a unique (and dope) surprise ‘contribution’ you might add.
For flavor.
Rhythm Roulette With Supah Mario (Video)
September 3, 2018
Just saying. Rhythm Roulette is a blindfolded record pick type of thing. Seems a bit much to claim cred for the selection. But what Supah Mario did with them joints though… give him ALL respect for that. Dope!
“I think I really did my thing picking these records dawg,†says Columbia, South Carolina producer DeMario Priester, aka Supah Mario, who recently pulled up to NYC’s Good Records and took the Rhythm Roulette challenge. Digging through the crates blindfolded, the producer behind hits like Young Thug’s “Wyclef Jean†and “Ice Melts†a standout track off Drake’s ‘More Life’ stumbled onto some heat from James Taylor, GangStarr, and some old-school dancehall courtesy of the Dillinger vs. Trinity ‘Clash’ LP. “I told y’all this was gonna be some Jamaican vibes!†he exclaimed after the needle drop. But he ended up skipping the reggae together and finding some ill breaks on the James Taylor and the Original Flying Machine disc, adding some of his own keyboards to complete the beat. Check out the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette right now.

Daaaaaymm. MGK dropped some heavy names and took some SHOTS at folks in this freestyle. Then again, when not? Flex gave him a hot mic, and he is MACHINE GUN Kelly (not, like, make them feel good about themselves Kelly). Aggressive!

August 30, 2018
Dope!
Usually, the midday (and sometimes midnight) hour is reserved for whatever Eye Candy we come across. But sometimes, we get Ear Candy that must be shared NOW! Like this…
“Part of Your Hearts Been Stolen”…. Maxine is a story of love, loss, betrayal, and friendship. Ace and Elzhi paint the ultimate love triangle on “Maxine”
Kanye West Tears Up On Live Radio. Takes A Moment… (Video)
August 30, 2018
You know. There were comments on the ‘Tube to bear this out… maybe Yeezy needs to break from all this. For just a while at least. It’s one thing to be a true ‘original thinker’ or societal outsider or enigma. But when that ‘being yourself’ breaks you down like this, whether we judge it to be ‘real enough’ or not #BreakTime

Bun B With Some ‘Trill’ Talk About His New Album, Revelations He Has Had Living His Life And Learning From Losses He’s Suffered (Video)
August 29, 2018
Bun B is indeed the Trillest in the game. Needs no introduction (just let whoever doesn’t know about him why they should… later… in private). Watch the OG’s interview.
Hip-Hop icon Bun B prepares for the release of his latest album ‘Return of The Trill.’ He stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about his legacy, personal struggles in his career and what DJ Ready Red contributed to Houston Hip-Hop.

Interesting political insights from the OG in here, too.

B.A.G. – “Nasty” (Video)
August 29, 2018
B.A.G. is Blimes And Gab; specifically, the duo of San Francisco’s Blimes Brixton and Seattle’s Gifted Gab. “Nasty” is nice work on a boom-bap approach to a non-boom bap beat.
(The tempo matches up for a boom bap track though, might be worth dropping their vocals on a Golden Era beat… Hint, hint to the remix gods out there.)

Speaking On The State Of Hip-Hop, Darryl ‘DMC’ McDaniels Raw & Uncensored (Video)
August 28, 2018
Okay. Run DMC’s Darryl McDaniels just went the hell off! Rightfully so. Hip-Hop is definitely different today, but we had our bullsh!t going on back then, too. I do agree, wholeheartedly, that whatever was wrong then or now… was WRONG! Nonsense, violence, not a good policy (word to Heavy D and RIP).
Hip-Hop is our Nation, our Community and Culture. We ought to act accordingly. Listen to DMC.
