Super-producer Hit-Boy ("Niggas In Paris," "Clique") continues his foray into the world of rapping with a heavily stacked posse cut called "Cypher." Following swiftly on from the intriguing news that he'll feature on a track with Haim on Kid Cudi's new album, Hit-Boy has pulled together an impressive cast of heavy-hitters for this one (see the artwork above for the full list, in order of appearance), with highlights including Schoolboy Q sounding typically unhinged and Raekwon casually outshining everyone. "Cypher" will feature on All I've Ever Dreamed Of , a compilation [...]
The title of this post does this track no justice, it should read -Legendary Artists- but I just didn't have the balls to do it So here is the list of features; Kent M$NEY, Audio Push, B Mac The Queen, SchoolBoy Q, Casey Veggies, Xzibit, Rick Ross, Method Man, Red Man & Reakwon. Check it for yourself and decide if it lives up to the legendary status.
Nothing complex at all here but this cypher's worth posting due to its cast of hip-hop artists. With thanks going out to Hit-Boy, a whole [...]
Are y'all ready for, well, a "Cypher"? I hope so, because this track boasts an onslaught of bars from *takes deep breath* Hit-Boy , Kent M$ney, Audio Push, B Mac The Queen, ScHoolboy Q , Casey Veggies , Xzibit , Rick Ross , Method Man , Redman , and Raekwon . While I love this track already for being a ridiculously lengthy posse cut—it's my weakness—Hit-Boy gets major props for that beat-switch when Rozay takes over. Ill. Listen below. [ via ]
Schoolboy Q was last in NYC this past February to join his Black Hippy associates at Kendrick Lamar 's Roseland show and Ab-Soul 's SOB's show a day later. Now Q is set to return to SOB's for not one but two shows there on March 28 . He plays an early show at 7 PM and a late show at 10:30 PM. Tickets for both are on sale now. Ab-Soul definitely won't be at this one because he's got a [...]

Rapper Rakim Mayers (pseudonym A$AP Rocky) had one primary goal for his debut studio album: to expand his fan base. Long.Live.A$AP , the much-hyped product of A$AP Worldwide, Polo Grounds Music, and RCA Records, drew increasing interest as it kept being pushed beyond the original September 11 release date. It was finally released months later, on January 15, with singles “Goldie” and “F**kin Problems” having teased listeners since April and October, respectively. The result: a tasteful and aesthetically gratifying album that, aside from occasional and overlookable lyrical shortcomings, triumphs [...]
Kendrick Lamar - Poetic Justice (Official Video) Nothing more really needs to be said.
The votes are in! Mumford & Sons, along with a newly-reunited Postal Service, will headline the 12th annual Sasquatch! Festival in George, Washington May 24-27. The lineup is yet again a full palate of musical goodies for fans to revel in, from tumblr upstart and techno princess Grimes to the inimitable Cake. No virtual performances à la Coachella though-don't expect another Tupac resurrection this year. Here are some things to look out for during the fest-other than potential Squatch sightings: 1. Azealia Banks' Twitter account: After throwing repetitive, slightly catchy combo punches at [...]

At first glance, this is pretty confusing. Apparently XXL has confirmed nine rappers on their 2013 Freshman Class, but they want readers to vote on the final ten spot. With that, they have put up a voting page where fans can cast a vote for who they think deserves that spot. The thing is, there are a ton of fantastic MCs on here, so there is obviously going to be a ton of overlap. It is always tough defining a true "Freshman." Does that mean they are putting out their first song, mixtape or album? What exactly is [...]
