JOE BUDDENS COMES AT DRAKE, JAY-Z AND MEEK MILL

Joe Budden came out firing at Drake in the best way he knows how. Buddens is notorious for feuding with a number of rappers through the years. On “Making A Murderer” not only does he fire at Drake, he also goes at Jay-Z and Meek Mill, making it a full onslaught.

BATTLE BARS

“No alliances with Meek/It’s still fuck him too.”

“Since the OG’s Hov, here’s what I wanna know,”

“If ain’t no real ni**as allowed the fuck would I wanna go? / That’s thinkin’ back to Jay, now let’s get back to Drake / Both too big to respond to all I have to say / Still with all their success and all their accolades / The universe makes it so they come right back to me.”

LOGIC DROPS SURPRISE MIXTAPE

Logic went on a Q&A session with Power 106’s J. Cruz and Hot 97’s Ebro earlier this week, where he answered questions from both radio personalities as well as fans.

During the Q&A he didn’t mention anything about the new project titled, “Bobby Tarantino.” He did drop his new song “Slave” which is on the new project along with “Flexecution” and “Wrist” featuring Pusha T. As always Logic’s artwork is on point.

Logic is currently embarking on “The Endless Summer Tour” along with G-Eazy, YG and Yo Gotti. Get your tickets HERE.

2 CHAINZ DROPS “FEAT 2 CHAINZ PT. 5” MIXTAPE

If you’re familiar with 2 Chainz, you know he’s usually featured on either an original or remixed versions of the hottest club bangers. Chainz dropped a mixtape of the hottest tracks he’s been featured on in the past couple months.

Problem – “My Squad” feat. 2 Chainz

MySquad-Remix

Problem already has one of the hottest songs of the summer with “My Squad!” He blessed us with a remix to the original where he tagged 2 Chainz, who drops some crazy trappy bars. Shoutout Chachi for always showing love and leaving this with his LA Leakers family! Chac is only warming up on what is looking to be a BIG summer for him!  BIG ups, family!

2 Chainz – “Mf’n Right” (Remix) feat. Lil Wayne [VIDEO]

2 Chainz tagged his ‘Collegrove’ partner, Lil Wayne, for the remix to “Mf’n Right.” The pair make it rain at Miami’s famous King of Diamonds strip club in the video. The song is boosted with the production of Zaytoven and Mike WILL Made-It.

Atlanta strip club veteran Jeezy teamed up with his fellow ATLiens, 2 Chainz and Future to show how they get down at Magic City on a Monday. The trio all show out on how they stunt when they pull up to the legendary Atlanta strip club. Of course Jizzle had to give a visual on how he stunts at the strip club with an Instagram post.

L.A. Leakers Rewind: Feb 28th – Mar 5th

LEAKERS_REWIND_FEB28.jpg

This week has been major for fans of the hip hop culture with the releases of some highly anticipated projects we have been anxiously waiting for. Let’s get it started.

KENDRICK DROPS UNTITLED UNMASTERED

There’s been a lot of pressure on TDE CEO Top Dawg the past several weeks, over releasing Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Untitled Unmastered’ project. LeBron James was one of the many to put the pressure on.

The few days Top needed for a decision paid off for all K. Dot fans, with the project officially dropping at midnight. The ambiguous project contains eight tracks of recordings originally made in 2013 and 2014, which may be the demos that were left off his last album, To Pimp A Butterfly.

Listen to it here:

On the project Kendrick delivers his usual jazzy, melodious sound that vibrates the speakers with the bass lingering over his explosive lyrics.

Apparently LeBron likes what he hears.

These surprise projects really add excitement to the music. The project is available on iTunes, Spotify and TIDAL.

GKMC SHORT FILM RELEASED

In addition to the Untitled Unmastered project, Kendrick released the ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’ short film that has been surfacing as well.

The short film shows the inspirations behind Kendrick’s freshman album, ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city,’ with actual footage and audio from his experiences.

THE UNRULY MESS HAS BEEN MADE

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis released their sophomore album, This Unruly Mess I’ve Made more than three years after their first album.

Their first album scored them a few GRAMMY awards and went platinum so you can see why this project has been anticipated for years.

The duo released the first single off the album last year. The single, “Downtown,” features old school cats, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee and Grandmaster Caz in a boisterous song that stimulates any old school hip-hop head.

This Unruly Mess I’ve Made has a nice, wide blend of features that you don’t usually see. From KRS-One to DJ Premier to Chance the Rapper to YG, the features are so diverse that even actor Idris Elba got a feature.

It’s quite ironic to see the diversity of the features, after-all the album does speak on many social issues like diversity, race and speaking out for things you believe in.

You can purchase the entire 13-track album on iTunes or stream it on Spotify.

2UNCHI STARS IN ‘COLLEGROVE’

After months of hype over Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz putting out a joint album, the pair finally gave the fans what they’ve been waiting for since it was first announced in November.

The collaborative album Collegrove joins the names of both the rappers respective hometowns of College Park and Hollygrove.

On the 13-song project you will find “Rolls Royce Weather Everyday” and “Gotta Love,” which they debuted on ‘The Tonight Show.’

Lil Wayne went on SportsCenter a few weeks ago and discussed the original title of “Rolls Royce Weather Everyday” and the project.

2 Chainz has five solo songs on the album including the Mike Will production “Mf’n Right.”

Enjoy the whole album here:

BIG TALK ALERT

DJ Khaled’s “major” announcement this week has made his price go all the way up. The self-proclaimed “King of the Anthems,” announced that he signed on to Roc Nation for a new management deal.

Khaled announced earlier in the week that Jay-Z will be managing him. What’s most interesting here is how he will manipulate his recent partnership with TIDAL’s competitor, Apple Music, for the We The Best radio show that airs every Friday on Beats1 Radio.

Check out the video where Jay welcomes Khaled to the ROC and gives him the last original Roc-A-Fella chain:

“It’s the ROC!”

LEO FINALLY GETS AN OSCAR

Leonardo DiCaprio is only one of the biggest actors of our generation. Before last Sunday’s Oscars, he was also one of the only biggest actors without an Oscar award.

That all changed for Leo as he finally won the award of Best Actor for his role on The Revenant.

It was nice to see Leo get what he’s been deprived of for years! I stick to my original tweet from Sunday:

In all seriousness take a look at Leo’s acceptance speech and the overall message.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnKs_dWcVuM

It’s easy to cheer for guys like that. They need to give him an award for the selfless speech. Cheers, Leo.
