Ras Nebyu (@RasNebyu) – Washington Slizzards (Video)
Uptown DC’s Ras Nebyu dropped this video last week (shot by @RadioMars)over an old Pete Rock beat (please don’t sue him Pete.) The kid sounds like he came straight out of the 90’s-but in a good way. For example; “As I create a fist for my black hands/The return of the futuristic Black man…Just another cool-ass day up on Kennedy Street by the 70 where Georgia and Kennedy meet/Them Babylon boys they watchin’ us malevolently/The precinct on Peabody where my enemies be/In them Rittenhouse parks/Where we used to spark…” and more great quotes like comparing gentrification to genocide. This Cypher League write-up said it best: “Travel with Ras Nebyu as he takes you from Takoma Metro to Howard University in “Washington Slizzards”, all by way of the 70 bus. He speaks on what keeps the heart of DC thumping and what makes the District of Columbia unique.” Babylon’s Most Wanted is Nebyu’s upcoming mixtape – look out for that in December.
UPDATE:
You can stream/download “Washington Slizzards” Below

Kanye West (@kanyewest) – White Dress (Full Version)
The Pre-order of RZA’s official soundtrack to The Man With The Iron Fists is now available for pre-order. As a result, the whole album can be streamed on Bandcamp. This includes the full version of Kanye’s track that he co-produced with RZA and Chicago production duo Boogz & Tapez. The full version makes it harder to tell if the song is actually about Kim Kardashian but I think its better that way. Stream below:
MTV Announces “Unprecedented Expansion” Of Hip-Hop (On) All Channels
Sway is probably happy as shit right now.
I spotted this All Hip Hop article on Nahright yesterday:
“MTV has announced plans to expand and unify Hip-Hop music coverage and content across all of its channels, under the MTV Jams brand name.
The goal is to extend the MTV Jams brand from its current, 24-hour digital channel, to all of MTV’s properties, MTV, MTV2 and MTV.com.
The new programming initiative will see MTV2′s ‘Sucker Free Countdown’ re-launched as ‘The Week in Jams,’ starting on October 28.”
Here is the funny part though.
“‘The Week in Jams’ will include Hip-Hop lifestyle related content, from music and fashion, to sports and gossip.
In addition to the programming initiative, MTV is planning a series of tours throughout 2013 that will highlight a variety of artists who are featured in the new programming initiative.
The first outing will feature R&B singers Trey Songz and Miguel.”
What happened to hip hop, MTV? Trey Songz and Miguel might be more “hip-hop” than other modern R&B artists but regardless- they aren’t “hip-hop content” by most definition of the term. Especially if you consider the history of MTV…Yo! MTV Raps and all…

I caught this video today over on the website most hated by Odd Future.
