Once upon a time, up and coming artists humbly paid homage to Hip-Hop’s O.G.s and while those days seem to be finito, Asaad drops “Raekwon Rap,” an ode to the raw spitting the track’s Staten Island namesake is known for. Don’t expect any of RZA’s patented chops and sample work here, though. Rather than using […]

The usually animated and often trippy Danny Brown had a mellower approach once upon a time, a la his days as The Hybrid. “Change,” the first leak from his forthcoming collaborative project Danny Johnson, entirely produced by Blu & Mainframe, features some of the Detroit MC’s calmer introspective raps from yesteryear.  Judging by this track, Danny Brown has […]

Last time we heard from New Jersey rap veteran Rah Digga, she was stomping a lyrical hole in Fat Trel and Tyler, The Creator on “The Ni**a In Me” in epic fashion back in April. The Brick City bad girl is back just in time for the hoodie and timbs season on a new track […]

After toying with their fans’ emotions for months, The Niceguys release their long awaited sophomore album James Kelley.
