Another emcee from the same city as J. Cole. It’s getting pretty clear that NC needs to be heard.

Trae – BMF (Remix)
Remember what I said about ABN music? Probably not, but anyway…look out for his mixtape, Can’t Ban Tha Truth, with DJ Folk and Evil Empire to drop soon.

Jacki-O x Pretty Ricky x Trick Daddy – Seen My Man
Okay, I gotta say it. Girl is beautiful to me but looks like a complete idiot with that grill on the cover. Must be some Florida shit.
Laws x Emilio Rojas x Big K.R.I.T. – Hold You Down (Remix)
This was premiered on Angela Yee’s show this morning. She has most definitely acquired herself a new listener.

Waka Flocka Flame x Travis Barker – Hard In The Paint (Remix)
You already know. This dude is a genius on the drums.

Just A Question, But…
…how does one land a hair magazine cover if the hair in question isn’t even really theirs to begin with?
The Making Of ‘Free Mason’
Courtesy of Nah Right. Although Trey Songz is present, according to the Teflon Don tracklisting, John Legend is on the hook.
Yelawolf x Gucci Mane In The Studio
Both of these artists are absolutely grinding right now…I’m glad to see both Yelawolf continue his rise in hip-hop and Gucci Mane spreading out his collaborations with so many different artists (such as Talib Kweli). Check out these pictures, courtesy of Karen Civil (if you couldn’t already tell by the name of the pics themselves).
Gucci Mane x Talib Kweli – Poltergeist
No, that is not a typo. The floodgates to collaboration have just about exploded at this point. Believe it or not, it works, too.
Busta Rhymes x T.I. x Cam’ron x Ghostface Killah x DMX – Stop The Party (Remix)
ooooooo….looks like DJ Envy just blessed up with the full song remix that we heard T.I. on earlier…this is pretty dope. New York is in the house!
Big K.R.I.T. – Straight Up Out The South
K.R.I.T. spits his usual fire over the classic Mobb Deep “Give Up The Goods” beat.
Freddie Gibbs – PSA (Pussy So Amazing)
This shit is pretty damn…well…amazing. From Angela Yee’s show this morning.

iRi5 (Erika Iris Simmons) – Ghost In The Machine
Not much to say here except that this is one of THE dopest artists I’ve seen in a long time, especially as far as her creativity is concerned. Her name is Erika Iris Simmons (iRi5) and she focuses on using recycled materials like used books and cassettes. Most of her materials were either donated to her or were thrown out anyway…check out more of her stuff at her website.
