Drake has been waiting in the wings for this very moment. To add to an already memorable month for Hip-Hop, the OVO rapper liberated four new tracks. One titled “The Motion,” is sonically a great departure from anything we’ve heard from the Grammy winning rhymer in recent years.
Snoop Lion went full-fledged Reggae on his latest release, Reincarnated. If you felt his transformation was a little too drastic, don’t count on anything changing soon. The legendary Los Angeles native returns today with more Caribbean influenced tunes on a new project called Ashtrays and Heartbreaks: The Mixtape.
No, Pac Div has not broken up. However, one of its members, Mibbs, is testing the solo waters by dropping a collaborative EP with producer Scoop DeVille called FREEBASS.
Kanye West’s Yeezus and J. Cole’s Born Sinner were the focal points of conversation in recent weeks. Then came the announcement of Jay-Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail, which is an entirely different animal. Not to be denied, Wale keeps his name in the mix with a live stream of his third studio album, The Gifted, exclusively through iTunes.
In what should be a surprise to no one, Kanye West’s highly anticipated new album, Yeezus, sprung a leak today. The 10-track project has been trending ever since it hit the Internets and the opinions have been flying all over social media.
Big K.R.I.T. comes through with a new cut called “What You Know About It.” The track is actually the result of a contest involving VIBE and McDonald’s.
Migos, the young trio from ATL drops the YRN mixtape to start off the summer. Standing for “Young Rich Ni–as,” they are making a name for themselves as upstarts in the A.
MMG drops music more frequently than any crew in Hip-Hop. With their current focus on Wale’s sophomore album The Gifted, it’s easy for smaller scale projects like Rockie Fresh‘s The Birthday Tape to slip your minds. Today, we receive a quick reminder via the “Kush Do” remix.
In case you were wondering, yes, Asher Roth is still rapping. The “I Love College” rapper is prepping The Greenhouse Effect Vol. 2 and drops the latest cut from the project “Pass The Dutch.”
Surprise, surprise. Gunplay returns bearing a gift in audible form to whet appetites before his Def Jam debut, Living Legend. Aptly titled Acquitted, the mixtape is the MMG rapper’s first body of work since his armed robbery case —which could have given him life imprisonment— was dismissed.
Last night, J. Cole held a listening session in New York City for his sophomore album, Born Sinner. Unfortunately, someone took advantage of Cole’s eagerness to present his work and leaked the album online. Rather than rage against the machine, the Roc Nation rapper has made the album available via a full stream.
The legendary Brooklyn rapper AZ is back with a new mixtape, L.O.D.B. (Last Of  A Dying Breed), that spans his nearly 20-year rap career. The collection features a number rare tracks and freestyles.
