VIDEO: Machine Gun Kelly Drops "Til I Die Part 2!"

Surely, this collaboration of rappers had no issues with accompanying Machine Gun Kelly for this project. 

The black and white visual was nothing short of basic with hailing artists all the way from Memphis, Tennessee to Cleveland, Ohio.

While artist Bone Thugs and Harmony and MGK harmonize over some crazy guitar accents, MGK sets the tone for this informative track. If you didn't know who you were listening to before, now you know!

Southern Rapper, Yo Gotti set fire to the flame at the top of the track, while his Memphis swag accented his ad-libs.  

Of course the new generation had to uphold their title, and Coke Boy, French Montana definitely came through with his cypher scene surrounded by his affiliates.

Second to last, but not least Cleveland Native, Ray Cash held down the fort with his verse, and to close, the infamous MGK came in the clutch with a strong finish. 

I’d say that this is probably one of the biggest Cleveland collaborations in Hip-Hop. 

The Wild Boy, Machine Gun Kelly couldn’t have chosen a better group of artists to put together a masterpiece. 

If anyone knows good hip-hop they will know that it is an automatic hit anytime Bone Thugs, Ray Cash and MGK are on a track together—totally unfair! 

As if their bold lyrics aren’t enough, these artists will take you on a stroll throughout the trenches to show you exactly where they are from—East 1999 that is. 

Check out What All The Hype is About Here.

Method Man’s The Meth Lab Title Track is Officially Here!

We’re getting closer to the due date of Method Man’s Tommy Boy Records Album. 

Image Credit: HanzonMusic.com

It was just earlier this week that Wu-Tang member Method Man announced the release date for his new album, "The Meth Lab." 

Along with the announcement he released The Meth Lab trailer that really got viewers anxiety going. 

This animated visual gives you a taste of the hardcore persona that this up-and-coming album takes on. 

With the amazing cover art and trailer, Method Man has really lowered us into his layer with this newly dropped title-track. 

This particular song features artist Hanz On and Street Life, but the album itself contains artist Redman, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, and features production from Ron Browz, Allah Mathematics, J57, and 4th Disciple.

In an interview with Nerdist, Meth briefly stated that he kept it real and low-key, like he does in his studio. He wanted this album to be a platform of exposure for the unheard talents of Staten Island. 

He says, “Bottom line is there’s a lot more talent to be heard from Staten Island outside of Wu Tang artists, and these kids are dope. I wanted to just give them a platform to be heard. I’m on every song, but I’m not exactly on any songs by myself, with the exception of one.”

With this clever, yet so creative album scheduled to drop August 21, 2015 this is only the beginning of his musical formula, so stay tuned for further updates!

A.$.A.P Rocky’s Leaked A.L.L.A Album is Available for Download but With a Few Surprises

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that these days, album leaks are quite the fad in the industry. From Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and now A$AP there’s nothing to get past viewers.

With the attention getters of the album including Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2 (LPFJ2), LSD, and many others this project is definitely worth the while. 

 

But wait just a second; while we’re on the subject of leaked music, apparently Rocky’s cup was over-flown with tea on Better Things.

PHOTO CREDIT: http://themikeylatelyshow.com

 

Although this artist does not particularly feature on atrack, Rocky mentions the British singer, Rita Ora in lyric’s involving her “Big Mouth.” 

 

MAJOR shots were taken at Ora while she was allegedlyaccused of not only her big mouth but what was also in it. 

 

The lyric’s state: “I swear that bitch Rita Ora got a big mouth/ Next time I see her might curse the bitch out/ Kicked the bitch out once ’cause she bitched out/ Spit my kids out, jizzed up all in her mouth and made the bitch bounce.”

 

Ouch! Well that escalated pretty quickly considering that barely anyone knew of them having relations, even after former boo, model Chanel Iman.

 

Well, this only entices viewers to seek further details and now you’re probably itching to hear the song so at 2:07 here it goes:

While you’re at it, here’s the album too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TY4K8UI7hA 

 

This all sounds like an unsolved mystery, but we’ll stay on this to see if it surfaces.

 

The A$AP mob member will certainly have some bangaz, but just stay tuned to see if we mean that in literal terms or not!

Is Pharrell Working on a New Project With ASAP FERG?

So I'm not sure if you're aware, but Pharrell has been cooking up something serious for various up and coming projects. 

PHOTO CREDIT: http://theneptunes.org

The Neptunes rapper is currently working with artists such as Adele, P Diddy, Frank Ocean, and now the New York Native ASAP Ferg. 

Although the exact name of production is unknown, this must only mean that this mysterious collaboration will be worth while. 

Fergie released his Dope Walk hit featuring Kanye and a few other heavy hitter's earlier this year.

Having this said, it only sets the tone for what we have yet to witness. Check out exactly what we mean on theneptunes.org. 

If Pharrell gets a hold on any of his projects this should be a jiggy summer, as the ASAP Mob member would say.

Three Males In Custody For Chinx Drugz Murder

According to the associated press, three potential suspects have allegedly been taken into custody after a SWAT team home invasion. 

PHOTO CREDIT: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2013/11/interview_chinx_drugz.php

According to Instagram's @teamshabbaofficial, he dubbed himself as the alleged murderer. Mstarz.com stated this to be a hoax however! 

Even raging Instagram followers raided French's comments with accusations about an illuminati affiliation with Chinx being the sacrifice. 

While it was just days ago that the Streets of NY and the rap game were hit pretty hard with the news about the up and coming artist, many seek reasoning for his death. 

Officials say, 31-year-old rapper Lionel "Chinx Drugz" Pickens was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Queens, New York. The rapper was pronounced dead shortly after at the Jamaica Hospital. 

Artists including French Montana, Meek Mill, P Diddy and many more were left devastated by the news. 

While many sent condolences via social media, not even a precise number of characters could portray the amount of love that the industry and fans had for this artist. 

Chinx's music will live on through various mixtapes including his series of Cocaine Riots, and numerous features. 

The Cokeboy rapper is survived by wife Janelli Pickens and many close friends and family. 

Although this is a tough time for the rap community Meek Mill, Travis Scott, and others decided to pay their respects with a tribute song. 

Take a listen to the heart-felt track here:

Kanye West Gives An Epic Weekend To Remember!

Yeezus has done it again! An eventful-filled weekend accompanied by his performances were nothing less than phenomenal. 

PHOTO CREDIT: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/kanye-west-kept-billboard-music-5719745

We all know of how wild Power 106, Powerhouse events can get, but Yeezy expectedly set the tone for headliners to come.

From the moment he entered the stage, the crowd roared with an energy that would welcome any artist.

While matriculating through his set, he woed viewers with some mystery bars that are said to come from his latest album SWISH over his infamous heartless track. 

Needless to say Kanye left it all on the stage that night, but then again he always does--- especially at the 2015 Billboard Awards! 

The artist rallied up that same amount of energy, if not more, shortly after being introduced by the two Jenner Sisters Kylie & Kendall. 

During his adrenaline-filled performance, two of his hit songs All-day and Black Skinhead were heard. 

Unfortunately during the scheduled 5 minute set, Ye only performed 4:16 seconds of that due to extreme censorship. 

According to Today.com, some fans were left devastated and others allegedly booed the Grammy winning artist. 

For once Kanye wasn't the blame for any confusion, but Pitchfork.com did state that he expressed his concerns about the ongoing issues of unwarranted censorship. 

Nonetheless, Kanye still managed to come out on top and give the people something else to talk about in the tabloids. With a strong finish to an impeccable weekend, in the words of his fans out there "All Hail YEEZUS, All Hail!"

P Diddy Confirms Release Date for New Album Titled "MMM"

Sean (P. Diddy) Combs is constantly commended for his impeccable bodies of work. 

PHOTO CREDIT: http://www.hiphopdx.com

He is known for his surprises, and has been on pop culture’s radar for years now, but the announcement of his latest album could not be any more astonishing!

An official release date is said to be on June 29, 2015, according to the Bad Boys Instagram. 

The mogul has worked with many big name artists including the late B.I.G, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, TLC, and many more, but he is reportedly executive producing Yeezy’s upcoming album Swish, according to www.FDRMX.com.

It's funny how we know "Puff" to have numerous names, but Puff Daddy coincidentally sets the tone for the latest album MMM.

Coke Boy’s own French Montana is said to be the executive producer for this phenomenal album, and a teaser video of the song Big Homie is said to soon aid in the hype of this upcoming project! 

From the sounds of it, Mr. Combs seems to be cooking up some big things in his musical pot, so just be ready to Diddy Bop in the kitchen right along with him!

Joe Budden’s “I’ll Name This Podcast Later” Episode 13 is Here!

We're not too sure if you are up on this, but if not, no worries! We are here to fill you in. 

So Joe Budden has had this podcast going on for the past couple of weeks now and apparently after such a steady pace of episodes, he’s failed to come up with a sufficient name for the project.

Although a legitimate title is missing, this does not stop Joe, Marisa, Peter, and Rory from dishing out their opinions on the hottest topics in pop culture! 

The Episode 13 podcast highlights various topics involving Marisa’s Philly ventures, Rory’s wild Miami (Yayo) nights, the latest sports news by Mari, and even Marisa lashing out on the touchy topics of fan mail. 

I guess we will never know if she will "respond to that e-mail later," but you can chime in on these socialites with the link provided below:

http://www.audiomack.com/song/2dbz/ill-name-this-podcast-later-episode-13

Be sure to stay tuned for more episodes, and hopefully Budden will find the time to think of a clever name for the podcast between now and then!  

If not, at least you’ll leave the conversation with a good laugh to compensate for.

Pusha T Reveals Release Date For Album!

Virginia artist Pusha T is officially working towards releasing his Sophmore album! 

PHOTO CREDIT: http://www.bet.com

According to Pusha, with all of these thrill-filled punchlines and his feverish rhymes, we can only expect great things from the King Push.

We've already had a taste of his flows with his latest music, but with songs like Lunch Money (produced by Kanye West), our expectations will easily be limitless. 

His solo album My Name Is My Name is expected to be quite different than the new found project, but nevertheless indulging. 

From underground hits like Trust You to hits he features on like Mercy, you'll never know what to expect from this kid. 

Pusha feels like this coming sound will be second to none according to hiphopdx.com, and with this statement it really puts you on edge. 

As he's constantly worked on this project the only outcome is success, but for now we will let the lyrics and the vibes from this record be the judge. 

Pusha T's King Push is now slated for a June 30 release, according to Hits Daily Double.
