Tosten Burks is about to fall asleep on the steps. The latest flourish from Exile and Fashawn shows the difference between hip-hop that promotes fun and hip-hop that simply just is. The two trade bars on top of giggling guitar stutters and the hoots and hollers of a cartoon peanut gallery, chaptered by an off-pitch falsetto Exile hook that's either sarcastic or drunk, probably both. Of course, "Oh Word" would just be silly if not for it also being full of good rapping. Exile "burns blunts the size of [...]

I really hope that this means Fashawn & Exile are close to finishing Fashawn's sophomore effort The Ecolog ; Boy Meets World is still one of my favorite albums to this day. I spotted this gem at 2DopeBoyz yesterday, and needless to say, I fucking love it. The chemistry that is shown between Fash & Ex is amazing; even though Exile is a below average emcee, his style blends very well with Fashawn's witty wordplay. Even though Exile doesn't spit bars that will leave your face molten, he makes beats that surely will; I don't [...]
Usually an Exile appearance in the artist category finds him contributing solely on the production front. Things have apparently changed on "Oh Word (Keep On Rising)" as he dusted off [...]

Here's a fun and funky back and forth from Exile and Fashawn. The two trade bars over Exile's sunny and old-school style production, dropping a few gems along the way. Exile: "Oh Word (Keep Rising)" feat Fashawn
With his solo album in the bag, Exile takes some time off to drop a brand new heater featuring himself and Fashawn on the raps over one of his many boom-bap beats. While Exile is no mic mangler, he holds his own with one of the left coast's best offerings in Fashawn, as the two trade bars over a bouncing production. This track did not land on Exile's 4TRK MIND , but we can expect some visuals soon for an album cut called "Klepto". 4TRK MIND is out now. Stream [...]

I'll name a few Termonology, Reks, Charmingly Ghetto, Fashawn, Statik Selectah, Kool G Rap, Planet Asia, Sean Price...That's just scratching the surface on what I consider one of The most precise depictions of Hip Hop in existence... just like that. It's so dope to see Charmingly Ghetto have a track featured on a tape that for me is goin down in the books. The young Boston repper is helping prove that true [...]

Skateboards, T-shirts, weed (medicinal, of course) and rap music. It seems there isn't much Fresno-bred Fashawn can't succeed at pushing. The jack-of-all-trades MC, currently putting the finishing touches on his sophomore LP The Ecology, took time out of a studio session with Alchemist and Evidence to give us the scoop on all his business endeavors. Hit the skip to read the interview. PIMB: You've been back at work with Exile on The Ecology , talk about how that's going. [...]

Planet Asia - Goldenstate (Prod. Dirty Diggs) Named after a 1980s Saturday-afternoon TV show and inspired by Planet Asia's favorite films, Black Belt Theatre combines the violent precision of classic kung-fu flicks with the calculated cool of classic blaxploitation movies. "I wanted to make the album like a movie, something you would see in a theater," says Asia. "That's why it has so many features. All the guests feel like different characters in the movie." These guests include veterans like Raekwon, Talib Kweli, Paul Wall, Ras Kass, Camp Lo, and [...]
