Big KRIT – K.R.I.T. 4eva (Chapter One)
KRIT describes his journey from a nobody to one of the biggest, most talented Southern Rappers of this era (over some great funkiness.)
Looking back on all the things I went through to get here. It was all worth it. It’s a blessing that I can write about it all. #4evaKRIT
Dew Baby, Fat Trel & Wale – Loyalty (Video)
Just weeks before The Album About Nothing is released, Wale, Dew Baby and Fat Trel show out in Marc Fernandez-directed video for “Loyalty.” The three EBM rappers walk around Harlem with Lil Durk, Noreage and others. My one question is, although this is a Band Kamp beat, why does this song have to sound like its from Chicago and not DC to get popular? Just a thought. You can pre-order The Album About Nothing on iTunes now.

Bankroll Fresh – Trap (Prod By Chophouze)
Street Execs drop a new Bankroll Single. See if you can guess what this one is about.
B-Rackz – No Case (Prod By Beat Zombie)
Teenage producer-turned-rapper B-Rackz has been making noise down in Atlanta for about a year now, grabbing placements on projects from Rocko, Soulja Boy and more. We’ve been paying attention. B-Rackz is part of a new generation of producers making Trap that sounds different than the typical Zaytoven/808 Mafia copycats. Along with people like Judo, Yung Coke, Deezy, Kash Nova and others, there is a new sound coming out of the South. B-Rackz and another talented new producer, Beat Zombie (a favorite for DC-area rappers) collaborate on “No Case”, with Rackz trying his hand at rapping. His simple, staccato bars aren’t groundbreaking but they are catchy and precise, making “No Case” worthy of many repeat listens.
Chaz French – Whatcha Know (Video)
Chaz French spits rapid fire confessions and declarations in a church, on the corner and in a boat for his new video “Whatcha Know.”

OG Maco ft. Wiz Khalifa – Night Like This (Remix)
This shit is so boring to me, but I see Maco trying to make something different so I respect that.
Me and Wiz decided to give the world something beautiful…on a night like this.
Scotty ATL – Five In The Mornin (Video)
Scotty and director Stack Moses link up for a great video for one of the best tracks off of Spaghetti Junction.
