“They say your attitude determines your latitude I’m high as a motherfucker – fly as a motherfucker. And still that motherfucker you love to hate But can’t – Because you love what I make.” This quote from Kanye’s verse in Rhymefest’s ‘Brand New’ has always described Kanye West. Considering the press created over the 2015 Grammys, it rings true now…

Last year, CyHi dropped a phenomenal body of work titled the Black Hystori Project. One year later, Cy is looking to build on the buzz with BHP2. On the second single from the upcoming tape, CyHi addresses all the fake friends and industry folks. Listen to ‘To Be Real’ below.

With the original still making its rounds, O.T. Genasis re-ups with ‘CoCo Part 2′ featuring some help from Meek Mill and Jeezy. Hearing Meek and Jeezy on this banger of a beat is dope and Genasis skips the basic rhyme patterns for some better wordplay this go ’round. Check out the track below.

A day after winning two Grammy’s, TDE’s Kendrick Lamar dropped a banger for the masses. This socially conscious and emotionally driven joint features Kendrick drawing on his thoughts about race relations in the rap game and society. Throughout the song he calls himself a hypocrite – and if you listen close enough, you’ll hear why. Listen below.

Your Old Droog continues making a name for himself with the release of this 11 track EP. Dropping out of nowhere, the Kinison EP is an exceptional project loosely focused on shedding light on the musical relationship between Rock and Roll and Hip Hop. The EP features some of the tracks we’ve already heard such as ‘Porno for Pyros’ and ‘Get…

Drake and Wayne’s ‘Money To Blow’ is a modern day club classic. The infectious melodies and stunt filled lyrics are impossible to resist while partying. Reinventing the track, Krs. takes the hit in a completely new direction, moving from the club to the lounge. The new version is wavy as the Atlantic and some heavy bass and slapping percussion make…

Queens rapper/chef Action Bronson brings us back to the good old days on the baseball diamond with ‘Big League Chew,’ an Alchemist produced cut that won’t actually be part of Bam Bam’s upcoming album. It features a soulful beat with vocals and thick rhymes focusing on everything from Bronson’s dive from an ocean yacht to his part in Mr. Muthafucking…

If Meek Mill can manage to keep himself out of jail, we’ll have access to an entire LP worth of new music sooner, rather than later. ‘B-Boy’ is a cut from Dreams Worth More Than Money and will have to satiate our appetites until the record drops. Bringing Big Sean and Ferg into the studio for this one was wise,…

Oh God! Big Sean had a pretty stellar 2014 with a big single and great features. Building on the momentum, the Detroit native announced his upcoming album Dark Sky Paradise for a February 24th release date. Late Thursday night, Sean dropped a new single from the upcoming album featuring Drake and label boss Kanye West. ‘Blessings’ has Sean recalling his come…

I guarantee that anyone flipping through Danny Brown’s surprisingly large back-catalogue will discover Black andy Brown! and play it on repeat for a week. This short LP was released in 2011 to favourable reviews and all tracks are produced by fellow Detroit native, Black Milk.  It flew a little under the radar and doesn’t get the attention it deserves. On ‘LOL,’ Brown…
