I really don’t recall the previous 29 days (we have to do better, I know), but here’s the final freestyle for Hip Hop Since 87 thirty-day-long series. In addition, Young Chris also explains in quasi-vague detail what the hell’s going on with his label album/deal.
Respect to his support of Neef’s project as well (check the hat).
N.O.R.E. lets go of some snippets to get fans a better taste of the upcoming Student Of The Game, due April 16th.

DJ S.WHiT & DJ Clark Kent filled in for DJ Green Lantern & Boss Lady for this show.
ScHoolBoy Q stopped by Invasion Radio to talk about why he’s been so quiet lately, his expectations and the success of Habits & Contradictions, his dislike for “Hands On the Wheel”, updates on Jay Rock and much more.
Obviously we all know that Papoose was Saigon’ed as it pertains to the time it took to get The Nacirema Dream on somebody’s shelf, so it’s of no surprise that the material is probably dated to some degree (even if it doesn’t sound like it, which is debatable). On the project is a track called ‘The Cure‘ which featured Erykah Badu, and she took to Twitter to speak on the song…
Papoose has also responded to Miss Badu:
@fatbellybella No paperwork? False our people are dying from aids/cancer are u not happy 2 create awareness? u sounded REMARKABLE #timeless

Monica is currently at work on her next album and found some time to flick it up with Future and (clown around with) Miguel, two collaborators who will probably create the biggest records on that project when it reaches fruition. More pics below.

It looks like Kanye may have been acting all weird about Jay-Z’s buddy for a reason……first, a little history between JT and entertainment giant Live Nation, taken from the Hollywood Reporter:
In 2008, the concert industry giant entered the business of Timberlake when it acquired Signatures, a leading merchandising company that counts the pop star among its exclusive licenses. Months later, it announced a multiyear agreement to feature 901, the premium tequila brand Timberlake launched, as the official tequila of Live Nation venues.
According to multiple sources, a 2009 partnership with Timberlake, structured after Jay-Z’s game-changing $150 million Live Nation 360 deal and Timberlake’s AEG-promoted, $126 million-grossing 2007 FutureSex/LoveShow tour, was quid pro quo for a touring commitment to Live Nation. In exchange, Timberlake received about $20 million — $5 million of it free and clear, or “a gimme,” as one insider describes it.
Apparently, the issue was that Justin Timberlake then decided to take a hiatus, one that made Live Nation nervous enough that when 2013 came rolling around, Live Nation decided to call in on that loan, requested that the tour be fulfilled. So Justin Timberlake then put together this project with Timbaland in 20 days (so they say), and with this Legends of the Summer tour with Jay-Z about to be in effect, it looks like the debt will be more than satisfied.
To read the full breakdown, head over to Hollywood Reporter.
Dark Horse is coming (though I’m not sure exactly when), and the above track is that album’s first offering.
ItsTheReal visit DJ Enuff to speak on their upcoming mixtape.
Funky DL might have outdone himself with this one…
Just imagine if this happened and picture the setting…
It’s the late 1930’s and local jazz club is packed to the brim with people awaiting the rapper Nas and his jazz musicians (orchestrated by Funky DL) along with featured artists to come and play a 10-track set to forever be remembered. The lights are dim and the hall is filled with smoke, whilst the clinking sound of champagne flutes ambiently gesture in the atmosphere. Nas and Funky DL are having their picture taken outside the club in an array of spotlights glaring from their vehicles (see artwork). Then it happens… The two step inside the club and “JAZZMATIC” erupts … All you have to do now is… “press play”…
We’re sure you’ll agree that this is a phenomenal project and ask you to share this with as many hip-hip and good music fans as you can find.
This is dope. Spotted on Hypebeast:
It’s always nice when new information about a late artist is uncovered, and the art world’s fascination with Jean-Michel Basquiat has never waned. Imagine the surprise then, when it was revealed that Alexis Adler, Basquiat’s former partner (“We had multiple boyfriends and girlfriends,” she explains) was sitting on a wealth of never-before-seen artifacts from their time in a New York apartment. Animal New York has an interesting feature on this wealth of pictures, pieces, and other artifacts, as Adler leads us through her unorthodox relationship with the iconic painter.
Another visual taken from Cap’s T.R.U. 2 It mixtape hosted by DJ E Sudd & DJ Drama. Produced by DJ Chill.
Right before performing ‘Apple Of My Eye’ at Red Bull Studios, Big Boi sat down with MissInfo.TV to speak on the song, touring, working with B.O.B. and going deeper into acting. Check out said interview above.
Continuing with Sisqo news in the last 24 hours, Dru Hill member and Baltimore, MD native Sisqo brought the house down in the above performance, all while managing to maneuver around bartenders and not knocking patrons drinks over. From TMZ:
We found the R&B star doing his signature song from 2000 in Washington, DC suburb … Alexandria, VA. But not in an arena — a sports bar. A REALLY cramped, small sports bar.
This shit just got upgraded to the ‘LMAO!’ section.
