Loving this track right now! This is def one of my favs of the year so far. Rittz is a white rapper who put out a pretty decent mixtape last year: White Jesus. He has a rapid fire flow, and it fits in nicely over laid back beats like this. Dj Burn One provides the [...]
G-Side feat. Stalley & Joi Tiffany – Gettin’ It
Yep G-Side AND Stalley. This is actually a track from G-Side’s album Island (from last year). The video is recent though and while not a masterpiece – it is a vast improvement on a lot of G-Side videos. That fact, plus the great song and the combination of G-Side and Stalley make this one of [...]
Currensy feat. Trademark & Young Roddy – Conference Call
A really smooth track – what else do you expect from Spitta? No lyrical miracles on this song, just a laid back track on The Firm’s fAfirmative Action beat. I actually prefer this beat, seems a bit less robotic than The Firm version. Of course no one kills this track nearly as well as Nas [...]
Rick Ross – Stay Scheming Adlib
Bitch, you wasn't with me shooting in the gyyyyymRicky Ross
I don’t usually explain my fav lines but this one may need it. While it isn’t a part of any slick wordplay, it is a typically catchy Rick Ross adlib. Yeah, Drake said it first, but when you say it back – you wanna say it in Rick Ross’s voice. This simple line, is now [...]
Ski Beatz feat. Currensy – Fly By
Ski Beatz is about to drop his full length album (Feb 14) and it should be a monster. He creates some great beats, and always seems to hook up with decent rappers. This video is no exception as it gives us a little behind the scenes look at Currensy and Ski Beatz creating this laid [...]
Maffew Ragazino feat. Das Racist – Jackson Pollock
Maffew Ragazino is another up and comer from New York that is making some noise. He is putting out some interesting music. This latest track features the Hipster certified Das Racist. I don’t get caught up in that Hipster tag, while they have odd flows, they really can spit. Another great track from New York!
Ab Soul – Black Lipped Bastard
I don’t know a lot about Ab Soul except that he is part of the “Black Hippy” scene out of the west coast. What I do know, is that this song is fire and it has me interested in seeing what else Ab Soul releases. He has a good flow, and some genuinely funny bars.

My dude Big KRIT is about to drop another mixtape (these are albums IMO but I digress) and here is the cover – once again great joby whoever does KRIT’s artwork!
ScHoolboy Q – Nightmare On Figg St. [VIDEO]
It is funny what a cool video can do. On Schoolboy Q’s recent album (which was fire) I never even counted this as a stand out track, but the video helps remind you how HARD it is. Great use of “video chick” as well.
