Super Nike Nando – “Why Am I Not Surprised?”

It took us a minute to figure out what was going on, but DMV peers dopeSMOOTHIES and Super Nike Nando have been having words on social media (as to why, we have no idea). In the midst of all that comes a new freestyle from Nando titled “Why Am I Not Surprised?,” which sees him taking aim on wax over Pusha T’s “Infrared.” You can check that out below…presumably, listeners can expect a response at some point.

Pusha T Feat. Lauryn Hill – “Coming Home”

It definitely looks like that new album is closer than we think. Following the release of “Sociopath” comes a new drop from Virginia’s Pusha T titled “Coming Home,” which features the legendary Lauryn Hill and (as with the previous record) sees production from Kanye West. The track was premiered during an interview with Ebro Darden on Apple Music’s Beats 1.

You can check out both the interview and song below.

Silas – ‘1998’ (Stream)

The RattPack saga continues. Bobby Boy Records’ artist and Gaithersburg’s own Silas delivers his new project 1998, which sees 15 new tracks and appearances from Kajo, John Lindahl and — of course — bossman Logic. Enjoy 1998 and recent video drops in full below.

I created this project at my lowest not knowing where I would be or what would happen with my music in general I believed this was gonna be the last project I ever created. I was wrong.

Meek Mill is Officially Free Following Guilty Plea in 2008 Gun Case

From TMZ, where you can read the rest of the story:

Meek Mill isn’t going to get his 2008 gun conviction tossed after all — at least not entirely.

Philly’s prodigal son went back to court with his legal team Tuesday, where his team was attempting to avoid a retrial after the original conviction was thrown out. Meek decided to end the battle … ’cause he copped a plea.

Meek pled guilty to misdemeanor possession of a firearm without a license — and remaining 6 charges for which he was originally convicted were all dropped. Back in 2008, Meek had been found guilty of 7 charges, 4 of which were related to the gun.

Meek spoke to the public briefly afterward, but wasn’t all that chatty. He thanked his supporters and those who came out Tuesday as well. He said he wasn’t on probation anymore, and that he was free at last. The D.A. in Philly has confirmed he’s off probation.

He could’ve gone to trial if he wanted — and very likely would’ve won — but it looks like Meek is trying to put this saga behind him completely with the plea offer.

As we’ve reported, it’s unlikely the case would’ve gone to trial again … considering the key witness ended up being a dirty cop — not to mention this would be taking place more than a decade after the alleged crime … and any other witnesses’ memories would be hazy at best.
