Young Jeezy (feat. T.I.) – F.A.M.E.2
Posted In Leaks
Jeezy and the recently freed T.I. got straight into the studio to put together this new track, produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, which will appear on Jeezy’s long awaited Thug Motivation 103: Hustlers Ambition which will drop sometime… maybe…
New cut from Wale’s sophomore LP, Ambition, which drops November 1st. Although I do quite like this track it does sound like Wale is running with the ‘Rick Ross Clone’ thing into his album too rather than following on from his pre-MMG sounds, as this would have fit perfectly onto Self Made Vol.1. The only releases from MMG I’m really interested in are God Forgives, I Don’t and Stalley’s next project…
Producer and rapper brandUn DeShay releases his debut LP, free of charge via his website.

I’ve been listening to this and A Sucker For Pumps pretty much back to back all week. In this interview with Billboard, Jermaine breaks the album down track-by-track…
Another new cut from Pusha T’s Fear Of God 2: Let Us Pray EP. Which we must pretty much have by now, considering half of it was on the original…
Admittedly I haven’t had time to check this out yet, but it’s Styles P so I’m assuming it’s going to be pretty good, plus I couldn’t resist posting it for the heavily (and badly) photoshopped cover image…

Dessa – The Beekeeper0
Posted In Leaks
This track will appear both on Dessa’s new original album which will drop in 2012, as well as her upcoming project Castor, The Twin an album made up mostly of re-arrangements of older cuts which drops next Tuesday. I’ve had the pleasure of listening to the album in its entirety and the live instrumentation really does enhance all of the original songs, to the point where I’d say most of them are great improvements (on excellent source material.) Definitely worth purchasing, even if you already own all of the tracks.
I should be catching up with Dessa for an interview sometime over the next couple of weeks…

J*DaVeY perform a new track from their major label debut, New Designer Drug, whilst in London recently. They’ve had some really strong output recently, so the album should definitely be one to look out for, for those of a more eclectic taste.

Everytime I hear a new Lyriciss record, I feel like it’s his best yet! I look forward to hearing his LP when it finally drops…
HipHopFiend Interview: TiRon & Ayomari break down the making of ‘A Sucker For Pumps’3
Posted In Interviews
After the last time I talked to TiRon back in January I was excited to hear his new project with Ayomari, which would be entitled A Sucker For Pumps and would be dropping on Valentines Day. Of course when the day came and nothing dropped, I like many was disappointed. However when it did finally drop on September 13th, it served as a great reminder to what Atlanta rapper Hollywood Floss recently touched on in an interview I did with him, that we as fans never appreciate the music that we are given by the artists we love, we are obsessed with what’s coming next. Where many artists are rushed into making below average output by this ‘fast food’ mentality, we should be thankful that TiRon and Ayomari weren’t phased by this, and took the time out to carefully craft the well thought out and excellently assembled LP that they delivered once they were ready.
This interview really reflects the care, thought and hard work that clearly went into creating such a project, and where normally I’d conduct an interview within about half an hour, and often present it in two parts, TiRon and Ayomari took the time to sit and breakdown the album in an hour, and I felt it was all way too interesting and worth reading to be edited down and chopped up at all.
TiRon told me that this is one of the best albums of the year, however unlike most hip-hop artists, when he tells you this, it is without arrogance, he truly believes in his art, and you realise that these guys are more than just ‘rappers’ they are song-writers, obsessed with the details involved in a songs construction, how it is structured? How it progresses? What it contributes to the listener?
So without further ado, please take some time to hit the jump and experience A Sucker For Pumps, track by track, with the insights of its creators who divulge information on the LP’s conception, from the production, inspiration, the collaborative process, how the album was recorded and more…
