Mac Miller ft. Curren$y – Cold (Prod. By Chuck Inglish)

Logic – Tic Tac Toe

A little Drake-ish for me but I am liking what I am hearing from the young DMV talent, Logic def has what it takes to go the mainstream route with dope flows and nice melodies.

word 2dbz

Chuuwee – Le Père Du Peuple (Video)

I've been hearing about Chuuwee for a good minute now but just now checking out his music from some persistent folks I know. The dude spits but still on the fence but eager to hear his Crown Me King project dropping this week.

Ab-Soul – Pineal Gland (Video)

Its Ab-Soul turn and he will be delivering a strong year, with much success from Kendrick and then right after ScHoolboy Q we now have Ab-Soul leading his team and bringing his fans and movement up frontward to rest of the masses. TDE has been building and presenting their team off right and really getting ready to take over. I am ready to see Soul Live when he comes with ScHoolboy in few weeks, Control System May 11th

2Pac Performs at Coachella (Video)

2PAC Back!!

In hologram of course but either way this is pretty freaking epic to just see, technology is crazy and just ideas people come up with and actually pull it off. Just watching this it looks so real.I guess Biggie is next you Diddy sitting somewhere like WTF why didn't I do that yet, I still see everyone might take advantage of this technology and just over do it just like every rap trend ha. But shout out again to came up with that and brought it to life in the first place, to actually be there and experience being at tupac concert must be way to trill.

Theophilus London Feat. A$AP Rocky – “Big Spender”

With one of the trillest covers out right now London and A$AP drop a track from their anticipated collab project Big Spender. This track is pretty dope, I am interested in it dropping just give me a chance to really listen to Theophilus and check out what he can do.

Phil Ade – Gone (Video)

Shout to Phil Ade this man really reps the city he shows love to everyone and makes overall dope music. Phil is easily the top MC in the DMV in my opinion right now his grind has not stop, he is linking with people in right direction and he improves his music each time. Check out his #PhilAdeFridaysII

Lil B’s Lecture At NYU (Video)

You have to respect this guy even though he gets so much hate he knows what he is doing, but a lot of folks do not understand his whole concept they just glimpse at the small clips they see and come to one conclusion but either way this guy is Hilarious! You have to respect his grind he is having a F****N' LECTURE MAN at NYU!! NYU MAN and he is clearly a marketing genius look out the box people, just enjoy it and laugh LOL.
Just check his XXL cypher years back
I said my piece

Lil B Post 2010

Dorrough – That Lowend (rmx) f. Ace Hood, Nipsey Hu$$le & Yo Gotti (Video)

I always rocked with Dorrough that YEAHH BUDDY, ROLLING LIKE BIG SHOT always been so darn catchy and stayed stuck in a dudes head. Nipsey and Yo Gotti appear on this and hold it down but did you see Cubana Juicy big booty though!?!

Neak - Love Greater // The Prequel (Deluxe Album)

Neak-love greater the prequel deluxe

Maseo (of De La Soul) x Mac Miller – I Bring the Soul, He Brings the Funk

The young Pittsburgh emcee is back grind'n still and dropping tracks after a successful MACADELIC project that drop not to long ago. Many are hopping on the Mac Train haha ~~(side not: see what I did there! It was clever wasn't it and I did not even try to be im just way to nice)~~ and finally realizing my mans potential and recognizing what he has done so far. Many of the OG's in the game have been featured with Mac Miller and showing him mad love and helping him develop into the MC he needs to be.

LifeStyle "Young Life" - Doin' it (Freestyle)

This is pretty dope Shout out to Young Life, I actually really don't know how I found this video it literally just appeared in my browser and after reading the comments after the video it did not just happen to me. So word to Young Life and his team for just popping on peoples screens that's great marketing tool and you gotta love so def deserves a post for that. The verse on here was dope as well I just have to look in to YL a little more to get better sound for the MC.

Mac Miller -Thoughts From A Balcony (Video)

Mac dropping another video fro Macadelic

Iggy Azalea – Murda Bizness f. T.I. (Video)

First time I am actually listening to home girl, song surprisingly rocks was not sure what to expect because everyone hates and everyone sice certain artist. Anyway Iggy really did her thing and just glad to see T.I. back in the game.

Saukrates – Say I f. OB O’Brien (Video)

I haven't heard Saukrates in a good minute and good to hear some music from dude but its OB O'Brien that got my attention because if you watched the HYFR video and saw the thugged out cat with a yamaka in the beginning that was OB but didn't know cat was a rapper. Really rocking with his flow in the couple tracks I checked out after I heard this one might see more on Dats Dope pretty soon.

Word 2dbz

Curren$y – What It Look Like f. Wale (Video)

Get More: Curren$y, What It Look Like, Music, More Music Videos

Nice we get some visuals for this track with Spitta and Wale, like I've said in the past these cats make some dope music together. Was just talking about Spitta and getting plays on radio but the hardest working man in the game right now knows what to do as you can see him linking up with MMG Wale which is a smart choice because whatever you think but gotta respect Wale for being one hottest in the game right now. Being with MMG is going have you see him in a lot more features to get radio play and having ties with rappers like Curren$y are going help both parties especially Spitta to get int he mainstream light

Kris Kasanova – Sleep When I’m Dead (Video)

This while video and track is just dope, Kris knows how to tell a story with some imagery and these visuals kicked ass. Def get hip to Kris I see him these past couple months grinding and dropping good work, check out Sleep When I'm dead mixtape here

Drake ~ Take Care Feat. Rihanna from OctobersVeryOwn on Vimeo.

Casey Veggies – Verified (Video)

Customized Greatly Vol. 3 drops April 9th

The Google Project Glass

I cant lie these will be pretty epic if we can get glasses like this in near future. With me being a slight tech nerd and Google enthusiast I will easily try to be the first to get these so I better start saving now LOL.

Phil Adé - Hatin' (Faded Remix)

Word to Phil Ade for this one letting it out via Twitter. Phil impresses me a lot as an artist because he just improves himself every time and just gets better. From Starting JV to now you just see his progression and maturity as an artist much respect to the homie.

SXSW 2012: Day 2[Powered by i'AWoL]

Mercy (Kanye West feat. Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz)

I see Kanye back in the studio heavy trying to get back to dropping some dope music first we get theraflu now we get some G.O.O.D Music love on this track which also features 2 Chainz. S/O to Big Sean I think he actually had the best verse on here and Tity Boi surprised me like shit on this track prob one if his best verse in awhile lol yea I said it. But dope track glad to see Ye back in the studio still waiting to see if we can get Conscious Kanye back and fizzle away from Cocky Ye.

Kanye West – Theraflu f. DJ Khaled (prod. Hit-Boy)

AYYYYYYEEE OKAY YE!!! Kanye just ripped that and went it I always talk about how great Kanye is some people look at me crazy but I really don't care HA. Kanye really just went in on this track everything people wanted him to recognize and talk about he did just right. Sidebar though what DJ Khaled do really? if Hit-Boy production I was lost on that part eh.

ItsTheReal: The Check-In w/ Curren$y (Video)

Goobs ft Profa &Young Puff- Yesterday

I am really enjoying this sample really dope

Stalley – Everything New (Video)

I have been a little skeptical on Stalley with MMG since the beginning and mention it in many post but at the end of the day its Ross and judging from his past endeavors Ross knows what ~~the fuck~~ he is doing and has proved it several times. Stalley in the past month has been staying on many bloggers radars with singles after singles, videos after videos and now the mixtape so I guess he is going in the right direction but we still have to focus on the music part.

Curren$y Ft. Wale - "What It Look Like"

The two hardest working MC's in the game right here, hands down you will not see zny artist put as much work in like these two combined. I always enjoy tracks with Wale and Spitta on it def good vibes.

LBHM

The Kickdrums ft. A$AP Rocky & Lana Del Rey – Ridin’

Yea I feel like this track is about to rock, this is just a snippet of the track. I just heard about The Kickdrums literally the other day and currently downloading their tape as we speak just to get a vibe of their music but so far pretty dope.

pretty dope, pretty trippy, you gotta love it

Snoop Dogg – Rolling Words Smokable Songbook

HAHAH Snoop is the man for this, only a real OG can pull this off as smooth as snoop did. Snoop gives you a book with all his lyrics that are made out of smoke-able hemp papers, so you can get your reading on and get your sparkage on as well. I will definitely get this book as a collectible you gotta get this.

Ryan Stinson - FUTURA

This is pretty dope project we have here "FUTURA" from Ryan Stinson, its different project from many but all original dope tracks with a great benefit to it as well. Ryan Stinson enlisted help from a school choir which helped with a lot of this album 50% of the proceeds they earn from this project go back to the school. Love seeing stuff like this where people are helping each other, going back to younger generation under us is main key. We have to get these kids involved and show their talent and get them excited about their talent or new found talent they have to help show they dont have to be confined to one box in life.

Sam Lachow- Avenue Music EP

I definitely enjoy Sam Lachow music the more I listen to it, with his music and videos it just gives you a positive feeling. All of his music it just seems to just show joy and spread positive message about enjoying life and making it. Lachow has that inspirational positive sound that when you check a track out you just want to enjoy the day and vibe out, that's what you get when you listen to Avenue Music. After you check out the video above make sure you check out the stream and download Ep here.
