Nasty Nas is in the area, and is causing mass hysteria.
One of the greatest rappers to ever touch a microphone, Nas is back with ‘The Lost Tapes 2′, as he opens up the vault once again in one of the most anticipated releases from any MC this year. With production from RZA, The Alchemist, Statik Selektah, Kanye, Pete Rock, Swizz Beatz and more, Nas showcases the vivid Queensbridge lyricism that may be simply the greatest ever.
The second installment of his lost tapes series comes almost 20-years since the original and includes a touching tribute to his legendary QB homie, Prodigy. Nasir having announced the upcoming release of the third and fourth editions of his coveted archives, hopefully his vault isn’t closing anytime soon.
Young Dolph and his cousin Key Glock announced today that they will be releasing a collaborative project called ‘Dum & Dummer’ on Friday, July 26th.
The Paper Route rappers celebrate the announcement by releasing a new song called “Baby Joker” along with the video. In the video they re-create scenes from the “Next Friday” franchise and the villain, Baby Joker. Surrounded by a crew of menacing gang members and stunning women, Dolph and Glock trade verses all over a bumping beat so menacing the Rancho Cucamonga might take a step back.
Following one of the best runs an upcoming MC could ask for, YBN Nahmir hit stardom this past year harder than a Mike Tyson punch. The Alabama representer is back with “F**k It Up,” the latest candidate for song of the summer.
Featuring the steaming-hot City Girls and Tyga, Nahmir delivers his trademark bounce over a slapping Hitmaka beat with a sample of Juvenile’s “400 Degrees” classic that’s simply dirty. You can let this one slap in the whip, gym, or club in what might be Nahmir’s latest banger to catch fire.
One of the most sought after DJs in the game thanks to his partnership with Travis Scott, Chase B is delving into the solo field with his brand-new banger “Mayday.” Along with ATL legend Young Thug and Scott’s protege, Sheck Wes, the two MC spar with a variety of their signature flows, with this being exactly the type of minimalistic, but melodic trap beat Wes and Thug seamlessly flourish over and flaunt their star powers.
One of the leading artists of the late, GREAT Nipsey Hussle’s All Money In Records is Pacman Da Gunman, who is firing shots in the new visual for “Steady Bangin’.”
Accompanied by the ever-stead Oakland crooner Rayven Justice, Pacman continues to hold down the West Coast in a cinematic video where the AMB member cruises through his city in a white Benz, with some contraband along for the ride.
The latest chapter in a summer hot streak that has the potential to captivate the game, Harlem’s A$AP Ferg is back with “Floor Seats,” the latest single off of his upcoming album of the same name.
Complete with a new visual, Ferg represents heavily for his Uptown surroundings all while accompanied by a bevy on his BMX biking contemporaries on the Harlem streets in an engrossing visual reminiscent of the Ruff Ryders.
Dallas rapper Yella Beezy has been on fire out here with his recent singles “Bacc At It Again” and “Rich MF.” He pulled up on Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk to spread that fire on the Power 106 #LIFTOFF with a freestyle.
Paying homage to the late, GREAT Nipsey Hussle, Beezy spit bars over Hussle Man’s vibey “Summertime in That Cutlass” instrumental.
“Anybody that Goddamn diss me end up swimming with the fishes / That’s Goddamn chicken, better stop now b*tches / I ain’t got time for these b*tches,” he raps.
With Quality Control’s upcoming compilation ‘Control The Streets, Volume 2‘ set to drop this summer, the hottest label in hip-hop drop two new singles.
The first track is “Come On” which is a collaboration between the ever-popping City Girls and Saweetie. This bouncy, twerk-ready track is poised to take over the clubs. Check it out below.
The second track “Baby” brings together the hottest babies in the game, Lil Baby and DaBaby. For fans of those two rappers get a treat as this sedated trap banger should certainly do the trick. Listen below and stay tuned for more QC coming soon.
A West Coast jam primed for your Summer playlist, the ever-talented Berkeley wordsmith and vocalist Rex Life Raj returns with the first single off his upcoming EP ‘En Route’. The single “Rich,” features a show-stopping verse from Oakland’s ALLBLACK.
Repping Raleigh, North Carolina Mez came through the Power 106 #LIFTOFF to sit down with Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk to talk upcoming music, working with J.Cole, Dr.Dre and more.
The “Morris” rapper has been in the rap game grinding for a while and expresses it has not been an overnight thing. Music has been part of his life since he was young, from listening to Biggie to freestyle battling at lunch he says “It just felt right, it felt like I was present.. I felt like it resonated.”
Mez goes on to talk about working with J.Cole and how he had a shot to direct the “Middle Child” music video with ideas of him own. Cole gave him a day to work on his video treatment and went to Cole the next day with his pitch which he ended up going with. He adds that the first scene was one he wrote for himself but couldn’t afford to film it for himself with lightning and other effects. When speaking on working under pressure he says “You gotta step up and show up” which is something he also applied when he was at the Revenge of the Dreamers III studio sessions.
When speaking on artists that inspires him he shares Biggie was one of the first rappers that he fell in love with Life After Death being one of his favorite albums and studied his raps. Another major name in the rap game that inspired him was Dr.Dre. Justin Credible asks Mez what a studio session with Dre, is like which he states “Bro is a genius, if you strip everything else away, he different. I remember learning the patterns and cadences from him that I’ve never heard and hes coming up with it…I remember him telling me space is a note.. He was like the space between things is a note too.” He goes on to add that Dre is the type to keep it a thousand and learned not take critiques too hard, rather as a learning opportunity to be great.
Watch the full interview below to hear his advice to younger artists and catch his fire freestyle he dropped HERE.
First of all, #FreeRocky. Second of all, Rocky’s A$AP brethren and fellow superstar A$AP Ferg just dropped some new heat. Featuring “Uber Everywhere” hitmaker MadeinTYO, Harlem’s finest is back with “WAM,” his third single of the summer following the release of his Rocky-asissted and DMX-sampling Uptown anthem “Pups.”
“WAM” debuted in REVLON’s Step Out of Line campaign, Ferg puts his star power and charisma on display with witty lines, menacing flows, and IG caption-worthy bars in an effortless banger in the latest chapter of his summer hot streak.
Compton’s AD is back with the visual for “Mind” featuring O.T. Genasis, which is one of the standout bangers from his new album ‘By The Way 2′. Accompanied by O.T. and executive producer SorryJaynari, AD and his crew take over a smoky lounge and throw a party the whole neighborhood will hear about.
If you’re sleeping on established West Coast veterans Dom Kennedy and Casey Veggies, take their advice and “Stop Playin.”
With the track itself being the standout from Veggies’ album ‘Organic’, the two trade had to share a video for it, where they take over a high school gym and parking lot inl. With the Leimert Park representative and ever-respected MC Dom K continuing to kill his features and Veggies showcasing his underrated talents, this new anthem drips a West Coast vibe that you need in your life, and serves as the latest entry in why these two wordsmiths need even more attention.
