Julia Beverly was on set in Atlanta to capture some behind-the-scenes footage of the filming of “All Gold Everything (Remix)” with Trinidad Jame$, T.I., Young Jeezy and 2 Chainz. The video was shot by Motion Family and doesn’t currently have a release date but the set sure looked like fun. Woooo.
Hard to believe that Casey Veggies is only 19 years old. His projects are always fun but on a maturity level that takes some rappers years to achieve. Plus, I’m a fan of his art and movement. With all that being said, HYPTRAK TV spotlighted Young Veggies in a nice sit-down interview filmed at Known Gallery right here on Fairfax in LA. Watch the Los Angeles native discuss his latest mixtape Life Changes, future projects and his thoughts on music industry.
This track is just oozing with talent. Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Stacy Barthe enlists rapper/mogul/bawse Rick Ross to her already awesome track, “Hell Yeah!” Don’t get me wrong, Rozay sounds great on the smooth production, provided by singer/producer K. Roosevelt, but it’s even better to know that Stacy’s powerful voice can hold her own.
Need a gift for Valentine’s day? Stacy’s releasing her V-Day gift to you/EP/awesomesoundsallpiledtogether P.S. I Love You right on February 14th. I suggest you burn a copy for your loved one.

Long Beach, Calif.’s Joey Fatts, along with Vince Staples, bring the ironically named single “Lindo,” meaning “beautiful” in Spanish, to life. The slow-paced black-and-white visual ends on a dramatic note and is followed by a PSA about racial gang violence in the LBC and the rest of the country. Joey calls for action, “it’s time to rise up and empower unity within ourselves to fight for the greater cause.” Be sure to be on the lookout for his mixtape, Chipper Jones Volume 2, dropping next week.

It’s been a rough week for Rick Ross ever since the night of his born day celebration at LIV in Miami. The rapper was shot at, crashed his car and later, took matters into his own hands by hiring 24-hour security. Reasonable steps for a celebrity to take after being a target. There’s still, however, a handful of people who believe the shooting might have been a publicity stunt. Rap Radar‘s Elliott Wilson discusses the facts and opinions of this matter in his latest Life + Time’s episode of “The Truth.”
Freddie Gibbs fed the Santos Party House crowd a brand new track titled “Shorty Wanna Be A Thug.” It might have only been a preview but expect more Gangsta Gibbs as he is currently working on his upcoming project, Eastside Slim.
