Don’t Flop Rap Battle: @MATHHOFFA Vs @ShottyHorroh
This one was for the books: Math Hoffa from the States (New York to be specific) battled heavy against Manchester’s Shotty Horroh in the Don’t Flop “arena”. Don’t believe me, just watch.
The main event from STS VI now featuring two of the biggest faces in battle rap in 2013. A legend worldwide, famous for his punches for more than one reason, Math Hoffa going up against the rising star of 2012 and DF Battler of the Year, Shotty Horroh. This had classic written all over it.
Ratlin (@RATLIN) Performs At DJ Cameo (@djcameo) Birthday Bash
Shoutout to the chick that effortlessly jumped on stage. I bet her night didn’t end there, either.
Ratlin performed his street smash L’s Up Live at DJ Cameos 2013 Birthday Bash at Skala and was joined on stage by a very drunk fan who really wanted to be part of his show but Ratin ignores her like a true professional.
Mos Def/Yasiin Bey Debuts New Music With Mannie Fresh In Phoenix
Was wondering what was going on with this OMFGOD business that we got wind of previously. While performing in Arizona at the Celebrity Theatre, Mos Def premiered the Mannie Fresh-assisted tracks ‘Black Jesus’ & ‘Young Love’.
Young Chris – 30 For THIRTY Freestyle
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).

Soulja Boy is in his latest visual pretty much doing nothing more than what it says in the title.

Ghost-Hunting Jean-Michel Basquiat In His Old East Village Apartment
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.

I know I’m real late on this, but no matter: one of my favourite artists (or one who used to be) Dido is back with a brand new album, Girl Who Got Away, and above in the latest visual from that offering.
In addition to the above single, Dido also let loose ‘Let Us Move On’ (with Kendrick Lamar, no less) and ‘End Of Night’ (which isn’t officially released as a single until 5th May), of which you can check out the lyric videos to both below.

T-Pain – Know Thyself (Mini-Documentary)
T-Pain has let go of what looks to be a day-in-the-life mini doc of sorts, show him at work and at play, along with friends and collaborators. I do find myself wondering if T-Pain can return to prominence in the midst of artists like Future & Kirko Bangz in his lane. Things just weren’t the same since ‘D.O.A.’

Greenlight 5 is out now, and above is the latest visual from the project.
