Photos by Fabian Molina There was something in the Bay Area air that made the day just about perfect. What more could we ask for when our own San Francisco Giants took the first win of the World Series and then, on the same night, some of the biggest names in hip hop, past, present, and future, all took the same stage? It marked a very good day for us here in The Bay. Opening the night at the Fox Theater in Oakland was Danny Brown . The crowd knew it was just the [...]
Hip-Hop was one of the loudest voices of the last generation, at least in America. Artists like Run DMC, Public Enemy, and Beastie Boys crafted an exciting new genre out of the music that came before them . When I was younger everyone talked about how influential figures like Eminem and Jay-Z were, but I never found the music accessible. I grew up on the other side of the fence, listening to Death Metal acts such as Napalm Death. I was twelve then. Now twenty, my music tastes are more [...]
Complex just announced their top 25 rappers that are 25 and under. Just as always anytime that a magazine or anyone announces a list there controversy that surrounds it. People will almost never agree on who should be on the list, and who should receive the top spots. People always have their own arrangement. Whether it is because they dislike a rapper, or it is because their criteria on rappers is different from the person that put the list together. ...
Filed under: News , Exclusive Brock Fetch Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky has been making power moves since dropping his 'LiveLoveA$AP' mixtape last Halloween. The videos for ' Peso ' and ' Purple Swag ' are nearing a combined eight million views and 'LiveLoveA$AP' has proven so popular his record label has sent him back into the studio to re-record the whole thing professional-like. Musically, the 23-year-old's dexterous east coast-meets-Houston-chopped-'n '-screwed vibe [...]

The BBC's annual self-fulfilling prophecy was published last night, with writers, radio producers, DJs and assorted other pundits all explaining who is going to be A Big Deal next year. Of course, sometimes things don't quite go to plan (paging Mona) - but broadly, you can expect to be hearing rather more of the 15 acts on this list over the course of the next year. The odds of familiarity are even higher this year because, for reasons best known to themselves, the voters have decided to nominate a handful of bands who are already a certifiable Big [...]
Is it safe to say the hip-hop's current era of triumphantism is officially over? Does anyone really troll R&B/rap stations expecting to be challenged in any way? The answer to the first question
photo by Rowan Abbott "When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained / But darlin' when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same? / Yeah nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change / And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain." These Furrows - Clarity ( mp3 ) Part of a new double-A side release (with Duke ) from the returning Leicester act, this spellbinder is instrumental nearly all the way through, before [...]
The Clams Casino/ASAP Rocky track 'Peso' (we prefer 'Wassup') has been given a refix by Star Slinger , transforming the original from its 'trilled' out vibe into a club hit. It's not all about pitch/beat variations though, as the attention to detail is great (as always). Listen to the refix above, and the original below:

For whatever reason, Halloween was the day when just about half the rappers currently working decided to release mixtapes. As luck would have it, Halloween was also the day I moved to a new town, which means I still haven't had time to check out too many of those tapes. Already, there's been a whole lot of good stuff; the new Freddie Gibbs tape A Cold Day In Hell , for instance, is the sort of rock-solid, technically adept Midwestern gangsta rap that we've come to expect from the man, and it's well worth your [...]
I'm glad this dude is getting straight paid . A$AP Rocky - Grippin Woodgrain (ft. Seth Narley)
Nos amis de 25yearsandrunning - à l'excellence déjà présentée par ici et qui ont notamment oeuvré à la notoriété des suédois de Museum Of Bellas Artes , de Banjo et de Fantasy Coloc - invitent le 13 octobre prochain au Carmen , à l'occasion d'une sixième édition de leurs soirées Fireworks, l'artiste non moins suédois CEO , à la pop tout aussi raffinée que ne le sont ses vidéos .

On the wake of the much anticipated LiveLoveA$AP debut from ASAP Rocky , Mumbling favorite Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire dropped this freestyle on Sunday via Twitter. He raps over the cascading keys of Rocky’s now signature track, “Peso”. Though this track isn’t nearly as smooth as the Rocky version (has anything eXquire’s done sounded smooth ?), eXquire’s dedication to his deceased friend Peyso is endearing for his stubborn insistence on pushing the limits of his body and reporting about his bouts of depression. Let us remind you that the ASAP crew's in-house producer responsible of [...]
Here are two leaks from Mr. Rocky's upcoming LiveLoveA$AP that should be dropping any day now. I dig his East Coast meets Houston fusion sound, reminds me of middle school lol. If you've never heard of him you should peep his critically acclaimed videos for 'Peso' and 'Purple Swag' after the jump. The latter is STILL stuck in my head, smh. #GetHip
ASAP Rocky is a Manhattan-born, Elmwood Park, New Jersey-based emcee whose breakout track "Peso" brought comparisons to Wiz Khalifa and earned the praise of Drake. Now, the 22-year old rapper is gearing up for the release of a new mixtape, LiveLoveA$AP , and today he returns with a brand new track called "Trilla". Give it a spin below; we have the clip for the aforementioned "Peso" after that. ASAP Rocky feat. ASAP Twelvy & ASAP - "Trilla" "Peso":

ASAP Rocky is name thats pretty new to me but with two very dope tracks released already i'm really looking forward to the release of his album LiveLoveA$AP at the end of this month. ASAP dropped ' Purple Swag ' near the start of July that got me looking for more of his music, but then he dropped ' Peso ' with a classic NY rap video but modernized to suit the now, this is swag! Recently ASAP Rocky [...]
