Admittedly I’ve seen Chase’s name all over the place, but for whatever reason never checked out his stuff until I saw the slightly unexpected Jake One production credit. Turns out that the result of their collaboration is dope! I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for new material from Chase in the future…

Finally we get an actual release date for the new Emilio Rojas mixtape (which I’ve really been looking forward to) and the date is… Tomorrow!

BluRoc A&R McKenzie Eddy drops a new video from her (sort of collab) album with GLC, Young Platinum, which you can download here for free…

Danny Brown’s performance at the Check Yo Ponytail 2 Fool’s Gold Take Over in Los Angeles last night was so legendary that I’ve been hearing about it all day via various social networks all the way in the UK. Check out the footage here courtesy of The West Coast Jawn featuring Danny performing ‘Blunt After Blunt’ and bringing SchoolBoy Q out onto the stage…

STS flips the xx’s ‘Shelter’ for his upcoming mixtape GOLDRush which has now been given a February 29th release date…

Visuals for XV’s collaboration with Trae The Truth, which may turn up on his upcoming #BestAlbumOfTime mixtape, which after Zero Heroes and his recent leaks should be a great project…

Sounds like Wiz is getting back on point for his upcoming Taylor Allerdice mixtape, as he takes on the classic Fugee’s instrumental here. As for the guests it’s still weird to see Juicy J representing Taylor Gang, and TGOD’s new video-model-turned-rapper has potential but needs to drop the Nicki Minaj flow early if you ask me…

As well as teaming up to do EP’s with British singer-songwriters, Yelawolf is still putting in work with his team, as the Slumerican crew drop this new posse cut…

I’ve been listening to Freddie Gibbs’ Lord Giveth, Lord Taketh Away EP with Statik Selektah a lot over the last couple of days, so welcomed this quick freestyle from DJ Roc’s Midwest Murda mixtape…

The latest instalment of Ski Beatz’ 24 Hour Karate School is just around the corner and DD172 have unleashed the cover art and tracklist. It’s great to see people like Curren$y and Smoke DZA back on board and Stalley, Sir Michael Rocks and tabi Bonney still on board. The project drops on Valentine’s day (February 14th) via DD172…
