Mixtape: Reason – The Social Network

Upon seeing the now classic 2010 film, LA/Orlando hip-hop artist Reason was inspired to create his own soundtrack. While composer Trent Reznor created minimal yet powerful electronic soundscapes for his score, Reason’s project creates a sound perfect for the headphone hip-hop listener. Over production provided by THX, Flash Beats, and Epik Tha Dawn, Reason tells his own tale of dreams, ideas, success, celebration, reality, and despair. The result is a sonic journey into the mind of one of the most interesting and fastest rising artists in hip-hop.

Audio: Nicki Minaj – Tragedy (Lil’ Kim Diss)

“Pink Friday, Eminem, 8 Mile/ It must hurt to sell your album off PayPal/ Especially when you in the game 15-20/ You was hot when Shaq teamed up with Penny/ Man, you was Magic/ I mean, look at ya now ho, you just tragic.”

I’m just going to admit this now, I never listened to Lil’ Kim’s diss to Nicki Minaj. I have better ways to spend 3 minutes. I think it’s fun that they are making diss tracks but Nicki please don’t make a diss album/mixtape. Definitely not needed. You won with this line, “It must hurt to sell your album off PayPal.” Done.

According to Rap-Up, Surf Club’s own Hit-Boy produced this snippet and Boi-1da will add to the finalized track. It has also been learned that “Tragedy” is not the official title for the track but I think they just should keep it. Why confuse America?

Video: Emilio Sparks ft. CurT@!n$ – Change Gon’ Come

One of the best fuck*n music videos you will ever see !!!! This is more than a music video its a mini movie. When was the last time you saw a plot in a music video ? If you guess what movie inspired the events in the music video i’ll buy you a box of cereal. – Emilio Sparks

I want that box of cereal but I can’t figure out what film inspired the music video. Woe is me. Anywho, check out the visuals for “Change Gon’ Come” featuring CurT@!n$ which will be on Emilio’s upcoming mixtape, Scumbino’s Way. I’m pretty darn excited for that mixtape to drop!

Video: Smoke DZA – The World

The video for “The World” was shot during Smoke DZA‘s West coast stop for the Smoker’s Club Tour. Props to John Colombo for directing the video!

Sidenote: DZA’s project, T.H.C. (The Hustlers Catalog), has been pushed back til Monday. I don’t think that’s an April Fools joke but then again I’ve fallen for about four today. :|
