Take a listen to “The Motion” below which highlights Drake’s singing and rapping skills alongside the smooth sounds of Sampha.
Tony Yayo is still kickin’ around and links up with Chicago emcee Twista for his new single “Girlfriend” off his upcoming Godfather of The Ghetto mixtape. The new song finds an auto-tuned Yayo rappin’ dropping honest bars about his overwhelming love for the cash rather than a relationship and his commitment to the hustle. Twista follows suit and rides the beat on point in familiar high speed fashion.
Singer and rapper Kevin Gates is at it again with another new joint titled “100it Gang (Marijuana Time)”. The New Orleans artist finds himself going in over Keef’s “Macaroni Time” and using his auto-tuned style to go to work over some heavy drums and synth work. Smothered with his southern hospitality, the Atlantic Records signee’s latest offering “100it Gang (Marijuana Time) is suppose to be featured on his upcoming Stranger Than Fiction project.
The latest episode of Fuse’s Crate Diggers focuses on DJ, producer and engineer Young Guru’s extensive vinyl collection. Step into Guru’s world as he brakes down his passion for seeking out the most exclusive and popular vinyl selections he can get his hands on. Listen as Guru shares some personal digging stories and plays some of his favorite joints from a variety of different genres for the camera.
Hip Hop emcee DOOM and Jneiro Jarel drop the music video for “Bookhead” which will be featured on the upcoming collaborative project JJ Doom. The video starts off with DOOM sporting his familiar mask but after entering a convenient store he ends up snagging a reflective security mirror and uses it to cover up his face. The villain then makes his way to a local library where he looks through a few books including a copy of Websters Dictionary of Synonyms where one can only assume he’s brushing up on his reading to compliment his lyrical wordplay. Producer Jneiro Jarel takes control on the production end and provides a dope sound with a dark vibe that fits DOOM’s style appropriately. It’s great to see King Geedorah still at it.
Sosa is back at it with “Oil Money Gang Freestyle”. The rapper decides to go in over Jadakiss and Rick Ross’ new “Oil Money Gang” single and drop his own tales of cash, drugs, and hustling over the smooth J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League instrumental. AZ closes the track out with an added vocal sample from the film Scarface for effect. Take a listen to Sosa’s latest track below via the audio stream and be sure to download it if you’re feeling it.
Juicy J drops another hot single with “Bounce It” featuring Wale and Trey Songz off his upcoming Stay Trippy album. Clearly a track constructed for the stripper poles and clubs, Juicy and company encourage their female “evening entertainment” to keep it bouncing and to put in that work in order to see those big Benjamin bills and have thousands rain on the stage. The upbeat track is very catchy and is perfectly suited for Juicy’s type of audience and has potential to be a radio hit once cleaned up with an appropriate extra clean version.
T.I. takes to the net to deliver his new music video for “Check This, Dig That” featuring Trae The Truth off Touble Man: Heavy Is The Head. The bonus cut off the album takes the simplistic approach with a black and white appearance and finds both artists surrounded by Hustle Gang friends and family. Take a look at the visual above to see Tip and Trae in action.
Mass Appeal recently caught up with Mac Miller and ScHoolboy to talk about the Rostrum Records artist’s new album Watching Movies With The Sound Off. Q gives his take on the project and gives it somewhat of a review. Joking throughout the entire shoot, Q advises viewers not to buy Mac’s album because his music is so bad and also states that he shouldn’t even be hanging out with Mac Miller anymore but not before threatening to beat him up. Needless to say it’s obvious these two are good friends and in a funny demeanor are practicing a different take on promoting on the album.
DJ and Shade 45 radio host Tony Touch finally dropped a quick snippet of the anticipated new Eminem song “Symphony In H” which is set to be featured on his upcoming Piece Maker 3: Return Of The 50 MC’s project dropping July 9. It’s refreshing to hear Eminem back at it and with a vintage slim Shady vibe. Em kicks it the only way he knows how with sinister rhymes and sick lyrical wordplay which puts all the hype in perspective of just why the song has caught so much attention when the track list for the project first surfaced.
UPDATE: The CDQ version of the track drops via Shady Records official sound cloud page.
