Drake and his dad had better bring it. The rapper’s father, Dennis Graham recently let the cat out of the bag that he and his son had recently recorded something.
While club anthems and swag music continue to dominate the airwaves, lyrics remain the foundation to any one picking up the microphone. Even with the acclaim that comes from spitting a strong verse, there are some rappers that have chosen to have others do the writing for them.
This is news we hate to report. Atlanta rapper Big Boi’s wife has reportedly filed for a divorce on Wednesday (Oct. 2), and a custody battle over their 12-year-old son may be looming.
As fans continue to praise Janelle Monáe‘s new album, The Electric Lady, she returns with a remix for the Solange-assisted title track.
Big Boi suffered an unfortunate knee injury earlier this year that postponed his “Shoes For Running” tour. Currently on the road to recovery, the ATLien liberated a visual for “Thom Pettie,” featuring Killer Mike and Little Dragon, to regain some steam before he hits the road again September 20.
For music fans, two of the best things about the summer are concerts and new releases. In the Hip-Hop sector just about everybody will be dropping new music and/or hitting the road (Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, T.I., Wiz Khalifa, Big Boi, 2 Chainz among them); as will one of the game’s most beloved spinners: DJ Drama.
An unfortunate knee injury may have thwarted Big Boi‘s “Shoes For Running” tour, but it hasn’t stopped him from further promoting his Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors LP. Today, he returns with a visual for track 2 from the project, “The Thickets.”
Big Boi is out of the operating room and ready to get back on the road with the Shoes for Running tour alongside Killer Mike. The ATLien just announced the rescheduled dates.
Last month, Killer Mike and El-P began operating as a tandem under the moniker Run The Jewels. Soon after, listeners were treated to rhymes more vicious than their name on “Get It.” And on this fine Friday, we receive a second bit of truth on a track called “Banana Clipper.”
Big Boi tore his knee up during a performance and was forced to postpone the remainder of his Shoes For Running tour. After undergoing surgery, Daddy Fat Sax is looking at six weeks of recovery.
Big Boi‘s Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors album was a sleeper and one of its best cuts is “In The A.” For the remix, T.I. and Ludacris’ verses get cut while Killer Mike adds on a potent 16-bars to the horn fueled instrumental.
Atlanta rap veteran Killer Mike has been building his own brand since his 2003 debut album Monster. The hefty MC is set to bombard fans with a slew of new releases in the coming year, including a sequel to the critically-acclaimed R.A.P. Music album with collaborator El-P and another album titled The Elegant Elephant.
