The Jealous Guys - Love & other Drugs


Waka Flocka Flame - Lurkin (feat. Plies) [Download]

After dropping the preview for this a few days ago, we get the full track with a Plies verse tacked on for whatever reason.

After several lukewarm receptions, it seems that Flocka finally found “the one.” The energy is there to make this a potential candidate for the hood’s summer banger. I can already see someone getting snuck in the club when this drops.

Chief Keef - Understand me (feat. Young Jeezy) [Download]

Another day, another Chief Keef song. Today we get the finished version of his record with Jeezy. 

Although Jeezy starts out kind of rough, he delivers with this verse. I’m glad he switched the rhyme scheme quick. That intro was not hot at all. Hearing these two over a not-so-trapish (read: Lex Luger imitation) beat is cool though. Too bad nothing is topping that Bo Deal song.

Freddie Gibbs - Ova (feat. Lil Reese) (Prod. by Young Chop) [Download]

First got word of this collab a few weeks ago via everyone’s favorite social networking site, Twitter. This is from the upcoming New Chicago Vol. 1 mixtape. Gibbs hooking up with two of the hottest new names in the “Drill” scene actually sounds enjoyable. Surprisingly, Reese holds his own on the track (to be fair, he still has the best verse over the “I Don’t Like” beat).

Danny Brown - Jay-Dee’s Revenge (Prod. by J Dilla)

*Yes, I know that this doesn’t fit our MO but fuck y’all I like it*

D. Brown’s drug raps sound at home over this Dilla beat. I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is the best use of a Jay Dee beat in quite some time. It’s much better than all the incessant dick riding that most backpackers spew over Dilla tracks.

Bo Deal - Murda (feat. Waka Flocka & Chief Keef) [Download]

Good gawd.

This has to be the most random video drop ever. We all figured it was coming after those pics of Keef wearing the BSM chain popped up but still. Zero build up but this is still great. 

Flocka kills the chorus and this Southside beat is sure to cause an aggression overload. I’m still a little surprised at how quick they knocked this out.

*replays the video for the next half hour*

Don Dada - Freestyle

Although I’m no longer too fond of the whole “random acapella bars strung together” video styling, I figured this was noteworthy. 

For those in the dark, Don Dada is a rapper from Greensville, SC that got some attention after a video of him rappin’ on his porch went viral. He’s returned with some backing from 8732 clothing and a legit video shoot in the works. While it remains to be seen ( or heard) if he can make an actual studio song, he definitely has the rapping part down. Plus anyone who can drop prices and weight rates like that has to be authentic. They don’t teach you that in any movies.

Don Dada, the ball’s in your court. Let’s see what you do with it.

Chief Keef - Russian Roulette (feat. Fat Trel) [Download]

Fat Gleeeessshh!

It took a few days but we now have the full version of this track. As with the song that the chorus interpolates, Lex Luger is behind the production. Although its not as dark & menacing as the original, there’s still a certain rawness about the entire vibe of the song. I’d probably attribute that raw, youthful energy to Keef and his trademark ad-libs sprinkled throughout his verse. 

I’m still unsure as to how I feel about Trel’s verse. He’s clearly the more polished of the two when it comes to actual rhyming ability but it just feels as if something’s missing from the song. It lacks that extra “oomf” to make it a street hit. 

Meek Mill - DreamChasers 2 [Download] Its been only a few months since the first installment but Meek milly just crashed the internet with this one. Will it live up to the hype? Possibly. Will this guarantee that his album sees the light of day? I hope so. This has been a long time coming or the Philly native. Let’s see if he can capitalize. *update: Here’s another link if necessary.

Young Giftz - Gun Show

Because we can all appreciate some good gun raps from time to time (read: always. Gun talk is never not relevant).

Naw but in all seriousness, this is a solid effort from Giftz and DGainz keeps cranking out some of the better hood videos I’ve seen in recent memory (don’t debate me, bruh). 

Big KRIT - I Got This

And the build up to Live From The Underground has begun.

Future - Pluto (Slim K Slowdown) [Download] Pourin up a dirty sprite as I type bruh! *insert typical “at the same damn time” reference here* Seriously, I’m a little too excited for this but I don’t care. This guarantees that I’ll be enjoying the rest of my weekend.

Chief Keef - Russian Roulette [Download]

Here’s another leak from the hottest 16 yr old rapper on the net (and the streets, by the way). The final version will have Fat Trel on it. Between this and the soon to be Jeezy record, I just wish we would have gotten the complete versions. All these songs do is simply leave me wondering how the features will add to the song.

Waka Flocka Flame - Let Dem Guns Blame (feat. Meek Mill) [Download]

Two of the loudest rappers out now have teamed up to give the world some goon music. A new Flocka song guarantees that my day will end well (someone else’s may not though).

I’m not quite sure how this will do with the general public but it should definitely work as a street single. Now I’m off to let this Southside beat grace my car’s audio system.

Robb Bank$ - Look Like Basquiat (teaser)

Well, Robb Bank$ actually does look a bit like Basquiat.

In the current wave of “tumblr rap,” most of it isn’t worth acknowledgement. This is one of those somewhat rare moments where your experimental listen is rewarded. Robb has flow, fairly clever wordplay, and a solid ear for beats (getting production from the likes Purrp probably helps).

Now, I’m not here to rant & rave about him being “next” because, well, he’s not. He’s just another fairly talented rapper that you may or may not enjoy listening to in the privacy of your own home.
