They make it work, as Mac bounces off FlyLo’s buoyant [...]

Rick Ross feat. Omarion “Ice Cold” (Video)

April 23rd, 2013

Ricky Rozay faced a pretty massive backlash when his verse on Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.” celebrated rape culture. Some might say he’s learned his lesson or paid the price, after protests to boycott his shows and Reebok dropped him from a $5 million endorsement deal. Dude isn’t the Teflon Don for nothing though, and he seems to [...]

Miguel feat. Kendrick Lamar “How Many Drinks? (Remix)” (Stream)

April 10th, 2013

You’ve gotta admire Miguel for not doing the obvious on Kaleidoscope Dream and signing up some rappers for guest appearances. Seems like an album can’t happen without at least six of ‘em. So, it’s easy to forgive him for indulging after the fact, which he’s done on the remix of “How Many Drinks?” Kendrick Lamar [...]

Download Big K.R.I.T.’s ‘King Remembered In Time’ mixtape

April 10th, 2013

It’s hard to believe but King Remembered In Time is Big K.R.I.T. What’s even harder to believe is that it’s taken him eight years to call a mixtape King Remembered In Time. The greatest thing about them, though, is that more often than not they play like proper full-lengths, and judging by a quick first [...]
