Lil B - Unchain Me

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Chip Tha Ripper ft. Wale - 25 Wives (Prod. Boi-1da)


You didn't know Chip was a Mormon?! Tell Ya Friends on its way.

Friday, October 14, 2011

Kendrick Lamar - Rigamortis


Nobody is touching him lyrically right now.

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Andre Nickatina & The Jacka - My Middle Name Is Crime


Try playing this at a low volume when your tearing down the freeway.  Not happening, needs to be bumped.

Lil B - Got The Mack Loaded


Red Flame Devil Music with the grandma earrings.

Saigon - Oh Yeah (Our Baby)


Do you have the Greatest Story Never Told?  Sai's intelligent beyond his years.

Curren$y - Ways To Kill Em


Mainstream but still retains his never-changing underground style.

Saturday, September 24, 2011

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Macktwon ft. Pimpsy - Outside


Nip Hussle said Macktwon's his favorite San Diego artist, so for those who are unfamiliar (including myself) here you go.

Monday, September 19, 2011

Casey Veggies - I Be Over S***


The best at his age.  And yes that bracket includes Mac Miller.

Los - Vintage Rolls Royce Interior


A cumber-bun couldn't stomach this.

Saturday, September 17, 2011

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Rheteric Ramirez - Break Tha Bank


Tell me he's not intimidating...

Lil B - Black Flame (Mixtape)


THANK YOU BASED GOD.  But no really, Lil B's music has been progressing and that's no joke.  And he revived Bill Bellamy's career.

Andre Nickatina - Still Gon Ball


Along with Messy Marv & J. Valentine, Nicky does what he does over another tight beat.  Wishing he had more verses though.

Monday, September 12, 2011

Thursday, September 8, 2011

KiD CuDi - Mr Rager


Cudi should've had a role in "Thriller" with MJ.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

*Throwback* UGK - Tell Me Something Good


Bun & Pimp C were less than 20 years old when they made this.  Unbelievable talent.

Crichy Crich - Sunny Days

Big Sean - Tim Westwood Freestyle


You have to respect a true freestyle and there's some good punchlines in this one, over "Tupac Back," "I'm A Boss," and "John."

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Nipsey Hussle ft. June Summers - Rap Muzik


The Marathon will continue November 1st.  Hard to top the first tape but I expect him to do it.  TMC

Monday, September 5, 2011

Jigg - Keys To The City


Jigg brought Nipsey's beat all the way out to the right side of the map, Florida, and did some work over it.

Sunday, September 4, 2011

Curren$y "Music to Ride to" Studio Session


Cooking up another classic, off Verde Terrace.  Spitta's a funny guy.

Saturday, September 3, 2011

Prodigy & Boogz Boogetz - Its a Body


Another Grove St. Party remix.  This is one of the better ones.

Theophilus London - I Stand Alone


Hard to believe Theophilus London now has music videos on Youtube with advertisements on them..  A year ago I was watching him try to work his way to the top.  To his credit, I haven't seen him do anything other than what he wants to do with his music.  Always stays true to his style.

Blakroc 2


You can trust Dame Dash's musical opinion.  That's been proven.

Thursday, September 1, 2011

Slim Thug - Tha Thug Show


Not only one of the best out right now, but he's also one of the funniest dudes to follow on Twitter too.  For whatever that's worth....

ScHoolboy Q ft. Kendrick Lamar - There He Go


Don't forget to capitalize the H.  Top Dawg Entertainment has officially taken over the West.

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Obie Trice - New Day


Over the beautifully crafted RZA beat, Obie dedicates this one to his mother, Eleanor Trice, who passed away last month from breast cancer.

CNN Plays Lil B By Mistake


This 103 year old woman is swagging to "Wonton Soup" (on accident).  Based God strikes again.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Wale ft. Jeremih & Rick Ross - That Way


As the empire grows...

Snoop Dogg ft. Uncle Chucc - Wonder What It Do


Can never get enough of that classic Snoop Dogg feel-good sound.

Jay Rock ft. Kendrick Lamar - Code Red


Follow Me Home received positive reviews around the boards.

Sunday, August 28, 2011

Killa Kyleon - Ballin


Kyleon has been releasing a lot of quality music lately and his fan base is growing rapidly, for good reason,

Saturday, August 27, 2011

Chip Tha Ripper - Great Time


Chip might be one the realest rapping right now (along with Nipsey & some others).  I still strongly believe we all should've paid for Gift Raps.  Got away with a steal there.

Friday, August 26, 2011

Big K.R.I.T. - The Vent


One of the deepest songs you'll hear in rap nowadays, from his album, Return of 4eva.  Tell me rap isn't poetic...  Oh and happy birthday to K.R.I.T. too.

Thursday, August 25, 2011

Game – In My Bag Feestyle


Still mad at Game for dissing Lil B...but no denying this.  FIRE.

*Throwback* Juvenile - Slow Motion


R.I.P Soulja Slim.

Young Harm - When I Go To Sleep


First video off his recent EP, Last Couple Dollars,  living his dream over a rock-inspired beat.  Listen for that "tortoise" line in the first verse.

Sha Stimuli ft. Lela Biz - Alone


You can find this on the underrated artist's last mixtape, The Break Up pt 2: The Proposal.  

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Kendrick Lamar – A.D.H.D


The torch has officially been passed to Kendrick Lamar to run the West, with a co-sign from just about every big name in the industry to back that up.  This is the third video released off Section.80.

E-40 ft. B-Legit & Stressmatic - Rear View Mirror


The creator of most the slang in Hip Hop, E-40 is back at it with this video off his last album, Revenue Retrieving: Overtime & Graveyard Shift.  The start of this is pretty funny.

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

Prodigy - Serious (The New Message)


An unreleased classic.

Fam-Lay Acapella Freestyle


Versatility and varying flows.  That's what makes a good freestyler, and Fam-Lay has both.

Curren$y - Verde Terrace (Mixtape)


The leader of the Jets empire hits us with another free, highly anticipated project.  Nothing new.  Start off with "Pininfarina" and work from there.  Don't expect disappointment.


Monday, August 22, 2011

Sunday, August 21, 2011

Lil B - Wake Up Mr Flowers


A Picasso with words.  Saw this man live in Hollywood the other day and he tore the place down.  I got to talk to him at the end and all I can say is...thank you Based God.

Curren$y - Only U


Some old school Curren$y has never disappointed.  This is my first time hearing this and not sure where it's from.  Sounds like the Young Money era.

Friday, August 19, 2011

Stalley - Chevys and Space Ships


Using an older sample (one of my favorite beats), Stalley does what he always does here.  He & Wale are what I like to call the socially aware members of MMG.

Thursday, August 18, 2011

*Throwback* Eric B & Rakim - Juice (Know The Ledge)


After a recommendation via Twitter from Andre Nickatina...

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

Rick Ross - Quiet Storm


It's a Rozay marathon in my house right now.

Wale – The Eleven One Eleven Theory (Mixtape)


You usually don't hear such universal praise in as quick of a time span like this.  Everyone is loving Wale's new tape.

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

Killa Kyleon - Who Shot Ya


I've known for a while Killa had bars, but...just wow. The wordplay in this one elevates his status in my book.

Sir Michael Rocks - Cell Dope


Pocket full of dollars and like three or four cell phones.

Monday, August 15, 2011

Curren$y - Pininfarina


Verde Terrace w/ DJ Drama coming soon.  Needless to say this has me excited for the project.  Just take one listen (which will turn into three) and you'll agree.

Andre Nickatina & Equipto - Caught In a Verse


Is this not the realest song you've ever heard?

Green Street ft. Fresh Daily - What's Cookin' 2.0


Second video off Green Street's album, Don't Look Down.  Such a talented group with a lot of time to build and get their name out there.  Expect big things.

Sunday, August 14, 2011

Thursday, August 11, 2011

Jay-Z & Kanye West - Otis


  Kanye and Jay are on a whole 'nother level than everybody else.  And they know it too.

P.S. - Poor Maybach

Lil B - Swag Jerry Rice


Jerry Rice helped the Niners win a few rings, but he's not the only one who put the Bay Area on his back.  Woo woo.

Omar Aura ft. Fashawn - 1,000 Palm Trees


A perfect day in beautiful Southern California today where I'm at, so I'm about to go poolside and enjoy it.  If it's nice where you live, you should do the same.

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

*Throwback* Jay-Z & The Notorious B.I.G. - Brooklyn's Finest


Around here I can post an N.W.A song and a Jay/Biggie song back to back.

*Throwback* N.W.A. ft. Snoop Dogg - Chin Check


Bar for bar this has to be one of the hardest songs out.

Saigon - Married to the Game


As an artist and a free thinker, Sai is exactly the type of person I want on this site.  The Greatest Story Never Told is one of Hip Hop's gems.

GhostWridah - The American Dream


MIAMI.

Monday, August 8, 2011

Thr33zy McFly - Hey Boo


My personal favorite out of the Language Artz camp.

Saturday, August 6, 2011

*Throwback* Public Enemy - Give it up

Chris Brown - Boy In Detention (Mixtape)


Breezy's first shot at a rap project.  I've actually liked a few songs I've heard lately from him.  And with a good featuring cast it could be a solid tape.  Who knows with Chris Brown, but I'm curious.

Friday, August 5, 2011

Jay-Z x Kanye West - Watch The Throne (Trailer)


Not sure why they couldn't have worked on a better trailer but regardless, Watch The Throne will be out in 3 days.

Skeme - Thank God


From The Statement mixtape.

Thursday, August 4, 2011

Game - MTV RapFix Live Freestyle


With no instrumental playing, Game recited/destroyed a verse from "Infared" with Sway off The R.E.D. Album, which finally hits stores August 23rd....hopefully.  This was nasty though.

Lil B - R.I.P. The Rap Game


Once again demonstrating the flow that people are still in denial about.

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Big K.R.I.T. ft. Yelawolf - Happy Birthday Hip Hop


Some of the best the South has to offer.

Black Rob - Showin Up


Game Tested, Streets Approved is available now, so go ahead and check that project out.  He's been working hard and seems determined to stay away from the material downfalls that plague so many rappers these days.  I really like this track because he lists a lot of problems in rap that people don't usually admit.

Rich The Factor - So Federal


I spent 5 months in Kansas a year ago, and although I don't have many positives to say of the state (sorry) it did expose me to a wider variety of music.  Rich the Factor is out of KC, Missouri and you can hear the truth in his voice.

Tuesday, August 2, 2011

*Throwback* Black Rob - Like Whoa


This beat makes it so you have to go hard.  Clearly Black Rob did that, making this track one of the best songs in Hip Hop till this day.  And I haven't heard a remix better than the original yet.

Monday, August 1, 2011

Curren$y ft. Smoke DZA - Life Instructions


Patty cake, patty cake.

The Game - Hoodmorning (No Typo): Candy Coronas (Mixtape)


My Samoan friend said this mixtape is better than his favorite rapper's album.  Be the judge yourself.  This tape includes "Uncle Otis", where he takes shots at everyone.  Literally everyone.

Saturday, July 30, 2011

Curren$y ft. Fiend - Televised


Weekend at Burnie's is a month old yet the hype remains.  Another solid project from Curren$y.

*Throwback* Blahzay Blahzay - Danger


Living in Cali now but the East Coast remains a part of me.

Friday, July 29, 2011

Andre Nickatina & The Jacka - Square Crows


This beat is perfect for two of the Bay Area's best to get at it.  If I had enough time I would list all the lines they said that had me replaying this.

Travis Barker ft. Lil Jon, Busta Rhymes, Yelawolf & Twista - Let's Go


Busta Rhymes started this off right and everyone followed suit.  Who had the best verse?  I'm a big fan of what Travis Barker's been able to do with mixing up Hip Hop with rock.  And he's getting the biggest names to help him.  Give The Drummer Some is available now.

Lady Gaga on MTV Boiling Points


Nothing to do with rap and has no business on this site.  Oh well.. Here's Lady Gaga before she became Lady Gaga.

Meek Mill - We Gon Get Dis Money


Dream Chasers drops August 11th and Meek isn't waiting till then to give us new music.

Thursday, July 28, 2011

The Game - Infrared


The R.E.D Album drops August 23rd.  I'm expecting something great, but all these delays make me question it.  Hopefully the album's been perfected.

Jon Connor - Aint No Future


No question that Flint, Michigan has successfully been put on his back.

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

Curren$y ft. Freddie Gibbs - Scottie Pippen


Anybody who's a regular to the site knows Spitta gets his deserved face time, but I'm posting this to showcase Gibbs to people who don't know of his talent.  His wordplay is off the charts.  And don't forget the Alchemist is behind this beat and every other beat on Covert Coup.

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Meek Mill - Ya'll Dont Hear Me Tho Freestyle


Tho.

Monday, July 25, 2011

The Niceguys - Ari Gold


Right on time for the last season of my beloved Entourage.  Can't believe Ari's wife screwed him like that.  Anyways, you can find this on The Niceguys' upcoming project, The James Kelley EP.

Wu-Tang - Drunk Tongue


Promo video for Legendary Weapons, currently gracing stores for all us true Hip Hop/Shaolin heads now.

Smoke DZA ft. Bun B & Big K.R.I.T - On The Corner


A lot of things going down on this corner.  DZA's next album drops August 30th.

Sunday, July 24, 2011

Speak! - Run Lola Run


Speak! hosted a Wiz Khalifa show last year and then surprised me & the whole crowd with some quick bars before Wiz came out.  Never seen a Jewish man rap so good.

Jay Rock ft. Ab-Soul, ScHoolBoy Q & Kendrick Lamar - Say Wassup


The West Coast super-crew, Black Hippy, are a part of the independent record label Top Dawg Entertainment.  For an indie label they're really making a lot of noise in the Hip Hop game.

Bow Wow - Sh*t On My Mind


Rich since 13 and Bow Wow is still stressin'.  Without a peace of mind, he still delivered on this one though.  Greenlight 4 mixtape dropping soon.

Kendrick Lamar Violin Freestyle


With Jonathan Rivera on the violin Kendrick spits a few bars in Union Square.

Saturday, July 23, 2011

Andre Nickatina - Money Shark


The Filmoe spitter, Andre Nickatina doesn't care what you think.  But if I had to guess, you'll mess with this one.

Game - Uncle Otis


Even though Game said this wasn't a diss, he takes shots at Jay-Z, Kanye, Big Sean, Drake, Amber Rose, Marc Anthony, and a few others.  I was entertained by it.  At least he's not afraid to speak his mind.

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Los feat. J.Valle - I'm On One


My favorite track off Los' HIT mixtape, Worth The Wait.  J.Valle remixing the beat with the guitar.

Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, & Big Sean - Dot Dot Dot


The leaks keep coming daily from the trio so expect a mixtape in the near future.  Same ol' topics yet the music remains solid.

THURZ - Molotov Cocktail


A style/sound you don't hear too often.

*Throwback* Big L - Devils Son

Young Harm - Last Couple Dollars (EP)


Still always supporting San Diego music!  Best city in the West.  And here's one of the city's more talented up & comers.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

Kanye West & Jay-Z ft. Otis Redding - Otis


First leak off Watch The Throne, which is just two weeks away.  Not many people can touch Kanye when it comes to the production aspect either.

Chip Tha Ripper ft. Like (of Pac Div) - Me Too


The instrmental is produced by Blended Babies, who work with Chip a lot.  And as always, his verses didn't let the quality of the beat go to waste.  Like, of Pac Div, did the same

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Boneface - Letter to Greazy


Jadakiss' "Letter To B.I.G." is one everybody should listen to and the same goes for this remix, plus just Boneface in general.  Rarely are there two posts in a row by the same artist on Hip Hop Air Strike but I really want to express how talented I think he is.

Boneface - Everything Alright


First & only track I've heard from Boneface so far but both his flow and content in this song is forcing me to find more.  Check him out.

Lil B - Where Dem Based Boyz


He's wearing slacks and dress shoes?

Chris Brown x Kevin McCall - Real Hip Hop Sh*t #4 (prod. 9th Wonder)


Never been a Chris Brown fan until I've started listening to his rap songs more, which are actually real good.  I must admit, it's surprising.

40 Glocc ft. Snoop Dogg, E-40, Too Short, Xzibit & Siven - Welcome To Ca (Rmx)


The state's new anthem.  Break bread or fake dead.

Monday, July 18, 2011

Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y & Big Sean - O.T.T.R. (Prod. Big Jerm)



Top shelf on the top floor.

The Dark Knight Rises (Trailer)


Saw this in theaters and had to pass it on for your enjoyment.  Too bad it won't be out for a year.

Los - Worth The Wait (Mixtape)


The Crown Ain't Safe IS still on it's way, but as we wait for that, Los drops a mixtape worth listening to more than a few times.  

Smoke DZA ft. Big K.R.I.T. - Gotta Get Paid


DZA schools us on Hustling 101 off The Hustlers' Catalog, bringing along the South's best young artist in Big K.R.I.T.

Sunday, July 17, 2011

Brisco - Promises


The Opa Locka goon is back, letting us know his plans will not be broken.  I used to play Brisco regularaly and I need to start again.

Saturday, July 16, 2011

Those Chosen - Carmageddon


While LA suffers with hours of traffic, I'm down in S.D. with open freeways cruising.  Can't complain.

Shawn Chrystopher - I'm A Star

Thursday, July 14, 2011

Lil B - Out The Hood


The only modern-day prophet.

Wale ft. J. Cole - Bad Girls Club


Two rappers who need to be collaborating more...

Baysiqly - The Flu


1/2 of the Vagabonds once again shows us his versatility and why the group is deserving of more attention. Plus it would be nice to see some more South Florida artists on.

Wednesday, July 13, 2011

Lil Wayne – Sorry 4 The Wait (Mixtape)


The wait for Tha Carter 4 ends August 29th. 

Jay Rock - Lifes A Gamble


Jay Rock's upcoming album, Follow Me Home, drops July 26th.  One of the best out of LA, which is saying a lot because I feel it's home to some of raps' best artists as of late.

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

Big Bone - Moment for Life


Off Boney's upcoming mixtape, No Name.  It's easy to see that he's been progressing with his lyrics, all the while still killing it with the punchlines like always.

Pill ft. Rick Ross - Pacman


The Empire remains untouched.

Monday, July 11, 2011

Kidd Upstairs - Bleed My Soul


Nice lyrics, plus I spotted an Arizona iced tea in the video so that's an automatic post.  Anyways, the beat is perfect for this type of track and lot of his lines will make you think.  Here's his latest mixtape which just dropped the other day, Cloud Chatter.

J. Cole Hard Knock TV Interview


It's good to see artists like J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar working together because those two are WAY ahead of their years.  Cole's passion is obvious just based on how excited he gets when it comes to even talking about his craft.

Pt. 2 Below

Rick Ross ft. Masspike Miles - Cigar Music


Some Boss music from '09 to get your mind right.

Sunday, July 10, 2011

Los Live Freestyle


While in Boston the other day Los awed a crowd with ease as he dropped an unbelievable freestyle after already performing his world renown "A Millie" remix.  He's the BEST freestyler out.

Meek Mill - Ya'll Dont Hear Me


Milly goes in over Loso's single off his latest DJ Drama-hosted mixtape, Dreamchaser.  Drops July 20th.

Airplane James - California Music


Perfect track for summer, especially if you reside in the Golden State.  Lucky me.

P.Dukes - Celebrations and Tribulations


First release from his upcoming mixtape dropping July 28th, Easy Money 3: Celebrations and Tribulations.  Always telling you both sides of the stories, no lies here.

Saturday, July 9, 2011

Lil Wayne - Tunechi's Back


First leak off Sorry For The Wait mixtape, which serves to hold us over till C4.  Hopefully it will be on the same level as No Ceilings.

Friday, July 8, 2011

*Throwback* Mobb Deep ft. Lil Kim - Quiet Storm (Rmx)


This.Is.That.Real.

Flip Major - "Halfway Average" Promo


If this doesn't get you excited for Halfway Average to drop your ears must be malfunctioning.  8/30/11.

Lil B – Bill Bellamy


If you don't own I'm Gay and/or have ten felonies then this is not for you.

Thursday, July 7, 2011

Jay Rock - Just Like Me


I think if he & Nipsey made a mixtape together it could be as good as Curren$y and Wiz' How Fly aka one of my favorite projects of all time.

Bread (of Language Artz) - If I Die


The Language Artz camp has a lot of young talent that has still yet to be exposed to Hip Hop heads across the map.  If you like what you hear checkout Bread's latest mixtape, War of the Mind: Prelude to the Brainstorm.  I also highly recommend taking a listen to Thr33zy McFly of the same crew.

Chiddy Bang - I Can't Stop


Saw him freestyle live in good ol' Pomona, CA and could not have been more impressed by how quick & witty his punchlines were.  He's somethin else.  Xaphoon is a great producer too.

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Curren$y - This Is The Life

Another video off Weekend at Burnie's, which if you don't own, and you have all his free mixtapes, you should be ashamed!

Los - Finally Here


The beat starts off slow but once Los gets into it you can see why he chose this instrumental to rip.  It's the perfect environment for his flow, which is versatile like no other.  It's no surprise that Twista respects his wordplay too.  From one of the fastest rappers to another.

Download: Los - Finally Here

Monday, July 4, 2011

Chip Tha Ripper - Great Time


Chip tweeted earlier that he has a project on the way soon which will keep his fans at bay.  It seems like his fanbase has tripled over the past few months and I can hear way.

*Throwback* Too $hort - In The Trunk


This has one of the best intros ever if you're trying to feel good.  Then something about the track makes you bump your head.  No matter what.  Especially once the beat kicks in at 1:15.

‪Trae Tha Truth ft. Lupe Fiasco, Big Boi, Wale, Wiz Khalifa & MDMA - I'm On


To me this is what Hip Hop is all about.  No generic radio rap here but rather each of these guys dug deep and let loose some meaningful lyrics.  Flows on flows.

Sunday, July 3, 2011

Pheo. - Break It Down


I still give Wriot! its well-deserved spins, which is where you can find this track from the UTB spitter.  Produced by Steve Liriks.

The Black Opera - Sleep Tight


New to The Black Opera's music but this first impression is right.  The verses flow from one to another like it's nothing, and the lyrics/punchlines are fire.  Poetry in motion.  Be on the lookout for the group's Overture project June 21st.

Saturday, July 2, 2011

Airplane James - Im Outta Here


This is my first time checking out Airplane James' music and I'm nothing but impressed.  It's easy to see his future looks bright and his head seems like it's in the right place.

Common ft. Nas - Ghetto Dreams (prod No I.D.)

With the combination of two Hip Hop greats, and one of today's best producers, this track can't go wrong.  Reminds me of the 90's.

Friday, July 1, 2011

Cappadonna - Milk The Cow


Here's the first video off the "Forbez Flashback" series that ForbezDVD has started, where they film visuals for older tracks that never made it to a music video.  This is off Cap's debut album, The Pillage.

Curren$y - Smoke Break


This video is off he & The Alchemist's project, Covert Coup, which you all should be too familiar with by now.  Court Dunn is a great director too.

Thursday, June 30, 2011

Tinie Tempah ft. Wiz Khalifa - Till I'm Gone


I wish Wiz had an actual verse in this but he did his thing on the hook while Tinie ripped the verses.  Wiz, in some ways, reminds me of Nate Dogg with his hooks and overall style too. Hey, Hey, Hey (fill in the rest...Nate Dogg voice).

AZ ft. Cormega – Murda On The Daily


If everything about this track doesn't remind you of 90's Hip Hop something's wrong.  I can get used to some more new AZ music.

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

California Bear Gang - Bringing Gangsta Back

Sacramento Hip Hop has a lot to offer the game.

2Pac - Watch Yo Mouth (Unreleased Diss Track)


Here's an unreleased diss track from Pac out of the vaults towards Nas, Dr. Dre, Wendy Williams, De La Soul, & Diddy.

Curren$y ft. Trademark da Skydiver & Young Roddy - Still


After a couple days hiatus I'm BACK, with another Jets joint.

Saturday, June 25, 2011

Young Roddy - Blow


Roddy seems to always make progress with his music, consistently improving his flow and wordplay.  It's good for rap that he got off the block and into the studio.

Thursday, June 23, 2011

Audio Push - Our City


Downloading their free album, 7th Letter, as we speak.  If you had to count that on your fingers... smh.

Dre. Biggity - Wings Flappn Up


This is what he likes to call a medical mp3 off his latest project, RxPREMIUM.  UTB moving up.

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

BamStarr - Y'all Feel Stupid Yet? (Album)


The Flint, Michigan MC has leaked a couple joints that I liked off this 9 track, Lex Luger-produced EP.

Pries ft. Rockie - Ike Turner


From his Copy, Paste, No Glue album, which you can download for free right here.  Young rapper with a bright future.

E.R. - MY-Ami


For you slower people out there who don't understand the title, E.R. represents the Vagabonds hailing from the 305 aka Dade County aka MIAMI.  Here he spits over four different beats, starting with "600 Benz." My favorite is when he goes over "Red Bottoms" (the 3rd beat).  Be on the lookout for their video with fellow Miami representer, GhostWridah, coming this month.

Disturbia: Round 1 (Documentary)


A day in the life of Compton-bred MC, Disturbed Ch1LD.  Watch as he hits the studio and meets up with some of UTB, who I mess with HEAVY w/ both their clothing & music.

Monday, June 20, 2011

Lord Nez - Keep It Cool


Smooth beat, smooth track.  Off his project Rhyme & Reason. 

Sunday, June 19, 2011

Featured Artist: FLIP MAJOR


When you talk New West you have to mention names like Dom Kennedy, Kendrick Lamar, Nipsey, and the list goes on.  What people have failed to see but are just now catching on to, is the talent that lies in cities underneath the radar.  Victorville isn't big like LA or the Bay Area, but that doesn't mean it's lacking talent.  Flip Major has slowly but surely been making a name for himself & the Dirt.

Nipsey Hu$$le x Encore Barbershop x UTB


Anybody that's taken a look at my ipod lately know I bump the likes of Nipsey, Dre. B, and Pheo regularly. 

Friday, June 17, 2011

Hollow Da Don ft. Big T- Wussup Yo, Wussup Jo


Did he just say "I'm first string and my shine glisten, ya'll the Jets coach on the sideline trippin"?  Too many quotables in here to name.

*Throwback* Snoop Dogg - Murder Was The Case


Produced by Dre & Daz Dillinger.  The glory days of the West Coast!  The New West has not been a let down though.

Ty'Quan Thomas - Soul of A Poet (Mixtape)


Unlike a lot of artists nowadays, Ty'Quan focuses on realism and story telling and shies away from rapping about the material subjects so many constantly spit about.  For that alone I give him respect.  Not to mention his music is on point.

Twisted Insane - 21 Thousand Units


My man Amac showed me this, representing San Diego.

Freaky Jon P Live @ George Washington University


"Only way I'm stoppin if I'm layin in a casket."

Sound Fx - Brave New World (Prod. The Alchemist)


The concept of this joint is that there are too many rappers than fans, and that's true.  Not everybody can rap just cuz you think you're a little bit clever.  If you haven't grabbed their last EP, Still Dreaming, get on that.  This is from their first, yet-to-arrive album, Still Dreaming II.  Looking forward to that.


*Throwback* EPMD - You Gots To Chill


Brotha Lynch Hung - Razorblades & Alcohol Tour Promo


Hoping this swings by Daygo.

Green Street - Time Won't Change Us


These three (A-live, Soupa, and producer Renaissance) are some game changers in the making.  Make sure to download their last mixtape, Don't Look Down.  Also don't forget to check out my interview I did with the group last week, right here.  Lots, and I mean lots, of great quotes.

Vast Aire's flow is unique and I'm feeling it.  "I rhyme outside the mold."

Thr33zy McFly ft. Raven Sorvino - Better Breeze (prod. J-Hyphen)


First thing's first, I want to give a shoutout to the cover art for this track.  Moving on... Thr33zy continues dropping heat, and I'm not talking Miami after tonight's performance.  Language Artz representers.
