D-Sisive has alot to say in his press kit, but I have to get in first and just state that if you don't like D-Sisive after hearing these two songs, then just give up. "If..." might just be the personal statement song of the year. Now onto D to tell you about Jonestown 2: If Andre [...]

Get Busy Committee is a name I've heard of in passing, but this is my first time giving them a shot. GBC is comprised of Apathy, Style of Beyond's Ryu and Scoop DeVille (the producer behind Snoop's "I Wanna Rock"). They are gearing up to release a new project, and "Opening Ceremony" looks to be [...]

What a cool ass concept that wasn't too hard to creats but still makes it look like the video had great special effects. B.o.B reflects on his rise to the top in the Ethan Lader-directed video for "Don't Let Me Fall," the fourth single from his debut album The Adventures of Bobby Ray, which combines [...]

Another day, another leak from Dr. Dre's mythical Detox album. I am more about songs such as this one which don't predominantly focus on weed and according to the Doctor himself, "Kush" will be the only weed song on the album while the rest will be more in the vein of "I Need A Doctor". [...]

Foreign Exchange couple a good song with a great conceptual video for their first single off of their new album Authenticity. The video follows Phonte into different scenarios where he is always chasing the same girl and in the end the whole thing comes together like you're watching Inception again. The beat provided by Nicolay, [...]

S-Preme stays ahead of the game with this mashup where he brings a heavy rock influence into "Spitfire". Get used to it too, Preme will be spitting over all Prodigy beats for the his upcoming mixtape titled S-Prodigy and they specialize in aggressive electronic music. I don't think a lot of rappers would have the [...]

Yelawolf cracks me up! His songs focusing on girls are usually hysterical and for this one he is talking about hooking up with a rich girl and asking to drive her "Daddy's Lambo". The dude can spit as fast as any of the rappers coming up and he always keeps an interesting flow despite fitting [...]

Several weeks ago I posted this viral video for "Get Some" and this official version kicks the shit out of that one. I do think I am partial to the Swedish indie-rock singer wearing a sexy outfit and gyrating in this video on top of being one of my favorite in that genre, but either [...]

As Talib Kweli gets ready to release Gutter Rainbows (please tell me that title is not set in stone) on January 25th, we get the first taste of what to expect from the project. On "Cold Rain", Talib revisits the "I do it for..." concept, which I'm sure you've heard a dozen of times already. To [...]

Time to post two artists who have collabed before by letting loose this Eminem feature on the new TI album. We also posted some new Dre today so we might as well keep it in the Aftermath family and give you some Eminem too. This song is interesting, it sounds like TI is trying to [...]

People need to seriously revisit his Song of the Starz project because Cobe kills it on several tracks. On the title track "Song of the Starz", the video compliments the dreamy aspect of the vocals in the background and at the chorus with some blurred visions of stars and Cobe walking around his hometown of [...]

I almost don't want to get too excited for this jam seeing as it is supposedly from Detox and we all know how unreliable leaks from that album have been in the past. This does sound more finished than "Under Pressure" and it could even be the radio version of it although I'm not sure [...]

Seeing as I fell asleep writing this up last night, let's try this again. "Rolling In The Deep" is the first single of Adele's upcoming album, 21. For those of you who aren't all too familiar with her, Adele is a Grammy-award winning songstress whose song "Hometown Glory" has been everywhere, flipped and sampled by [...]

To honor his signing to Roc Nation Jay Elec unleashes these two songs courtesy of Rap Radar. I wonder how Diddy will take this one since he has been trying to get Jay E under his wing for well over a year now? My guess is he won't take it well (and judging by the [...]

This is the making of a masterpiece, so we broke out the chains and told the masta, "Peace". So this is were it went! It's a relief to see "Chain Heavy" come to life as a full song, those verses 'Ye spat at the Facebook HQ were a problem and a half. I would have [...]

At the NY stop of k-os' Yes! tour (one of the hottest tours going on right now), k-os, Shad, and Seattle's Astronautalis kick a seven-minute cypher for the crowd, backed by k-os' band. All three emcees go four bars each for a good five minutes and end off with 162s. This shows why I would much [...]

Going by the slow download speed, the constant crashing of J. Cole's site and the fact that this mixtape was the second highest trending topic on Google today, things are looking as good as ever for the Roc Nation signee. At 19 songs (20 if you count "Looking For Trouble", the bonus track), Friday Night Lights [...]

No indie rock band samples here, Gilbere and Ab-Liva go hard on this song. The beat bangs with the swirling synth bass and they each drop some dope verses over it. Gilbere's verse on this one reminded me a lot of Kanye with his flow and the way he would stress certain words and syllables [...]

I'm not sure if Sleigh Bells has ever been featured on B&B before but they are a noise pop duo who are signed to MIA's N.E.E.T. label. They make some catchy tunes too and "Riot Rhythm" is the first one that turned me onto them. As for the video, it is interesting to say the [...]

"Wake Up" is a perfect track for those of you have never heard of Eligh because he brings a fast flow with a message that all the underground heads will appreciate. It also doesn't hurt that he has some help from one of the realest spitters in the game at the moment in Brother Ali. [...]
