Ryan Lucas – YO! YO! YO! (MLK-Themed)

In January, DC’s Ryan Lucas dropped off his latest body of work ‘I Want Her Back.’ Today, the 13-Track LP get’s another life as Zack Daviddirects the official visual for Lucas’ stand out cut “YO! YO! YO!.” The boom-bap heavy street single was produced by Gravity Movement and constructed under the direction of A&R Vic Wonderland and serves as a tribute to Black History Month

Cornell Jone$ – How To Rob A DMV N***a (50 Cent Remix)


Ever so often, a drastic change is needed in life. The DC Hip-Hop scene has had it’s share, from Wale basically dissing all of Baltimore to Fat Trel fighting at the 2011 DMV Awards and Shy Glizzy dissing Chief Keef and jumping to the front of the local scene overnight. These moments, although negative, brokered change that lead to forward movement for local Rap. Today, we have a potential addition to that list. DC Rapper Cornell Jone$ has taken aim at most of DC’s well-known rappers in a new freestyle. Some jabs are short and comical, and others are sinister and dig deep. Either way, this diss record could be that spark, that shake-up that this area needs to move forward. Or it could be another song pointing out that local artists take themselves too seriously. Either way, we think its worth checking out this new record; Cornell and My Mixtapez just premiered his remix to 50 Cent’s “How To Rob.”

Jay IDK – Cookie Addiction ft. BJ The Chicago Kid


Billboard drops a new single from Jay IDK and BJ, produced by Noose & GameBrand.

“In my album SubTrap, I refer to the music industry as “Her” — a woman that, at first, was only supposed to be a one night stand, but ended up making me fall in love before I could even get a taste of what she had to offer. It’s the perfect metaphor for my thoughts entering this industry versus my thoughts actually being in it. At first I thought I could go to school and do music on the side and be successful, but the more I began to understand the industry, the more I fell in love with it. “Cookie Addiction” is me thinking about having sex with ‘Her.'”
