You should already know what to expect from this one. Some laidback vibes from DZA’s debut retail project, Rolling Stoned, which is available for pre-order on Itunes now, and drops next Tuesday…

From the ex-G-Unit representer’s upcoming street album with producer A-One which will be titled Bond Money…

Buck was my favourite member of G-Unit back in the day!

Despite the release of producer Lee Bannon’s Fantastic Plastic album not being until next year, you can check out the latest cut, featuring Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids, alongside the first offering with Del, now…

I just realised that until this point I’ve always confused Moe Green with Mean Doe Green… Someone needs to change their name up a little!

Anyway, here is a new visual for a track from Moe (not Mean Doe) Green…

A snapshot view into Ski working with Stat Quo and Nicole Wray on ‘Amnesia’ off his 24 Hour Karate School Part 2 which is available now on Itunes…

I just hit Stat Quo out of the blue on Twitter, because I’m a big Stat Quo fan, he’s dope. So I just hit him like, “Yo, b I want you to get on this project…” and he hit me right back saying, “Yo, no doubt, when do you want me to come down.” And he actually figured out the date (himself) and he stuck to it. He called me on the exact date he said he was coming down, he was in New York City, he came to the dojo and I played some beats; “Amnesia” was one of the beats I played. He has an unorthodox way of recording, he just goes in and just wins it. Just turns it into a song. And he’s definitely going to be a legend, because he’s a real ill emcee, and I know he does a lot of work with Dr. Dre right now, he’s doing a lot of writing for him. Stat Quo man, he should definitely be larger than he is, because he’s crazy. Very gifted.

From my track-by-track interview which you can check out here…

Today marks the 10th Anniversary of Aaliyah’s tragic passing. Her legacy still continues to inspire the artists of our generation -a notable example being Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Member’s Only’ which samples the track posted here.

To commemorate her life I have posted here one of my personal favourites, ’4 Page Letter’, which was featured on her 1996 album, One In A Million…

Another solid leak from Maffew Ragazino’s delayed Rhyme Pays project, which will hopefully see the light of day sometime soon…

I can’t believe that Red Cafe still hasn’t released a debut retail project yet. This could well be a single if ever he gets to go ahead with one…

I know I’m always saying this, but Omen is highly underrated- he really deserves more shine! Here is another new self-produced cut from the Dreamvillain…
