Maxo Kream – “Drizzy Draco” (Video)
February 3, 2020
Spark that pipe just like a fire. Now yo’ man’s a fire fighter.
“Brandon Banks” is full of that sh!t… that Maxo Kream sh!t talk… and somehow, I really don’t think you wanna find out how real he is. Just let it be; and let the hood be the hood.
This feels like a new slice or three of that Gangsta-Gangsta (if you’re out West and remember), that How-About-Some-Hardcore (if you got memories of the street beasts of the East), AND that Who-Else-Wanna-f**k-With-Hollywood-Court (if you f**k with us down here like that way back) cake. So, enjoy; like a new dessert made the old way; but in new pans!
“Drizzy Draco” is off that “Brandon Banks” (out now).

Maxo Kream Speaks On His Coming Up & Becoming A Rapper (Video)
February 3, 2020
Hey, Maxo’s full name is a mouthful. And he’s laughing with Vlad when joking about how hard it is to pronounce… but then he pronounces it perfectly and starts speaking on how he got the name and how that led to the Maxo handle. Message: Your name MATTERS. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
Okay, I’mma step off the soapbox and let y’all get on with the watching of Part 1 of 6 above (other parts after the jump). This is so you get familiar with Maxo before I share this new schooler’s music with you. I’m really trying to find the new ones that are doing it real, their way.
I’m old school. But I know that refusing to understand means refusing to grow. And everything that lives is either growing or dying… And I’m not dead yet!
One of H-Town’s realest. Not no ‘Soundcloud rapper’… Watch him tell his story to Vlad.

Watch Conway & Westside Gunn “Rate The Bars†(Video)
January 31, 2020
Bwaaahaaa! Y’all put Iggy’s bars on the bill for Griselda to review?? What did you THINK they would say?!
The Hall ‘N Nash duo is drawn to raw, rap lyricism, and rank high for real street spitters like the late Prodigy, MF Doom and Young Dolph. But for Iggy Azalea, Skinyfromthe9 and others from the new rap generation, they aren’t so admirable.

Yo Gotti | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #143 (Video)
January 30, 2020
It’s an event. A special occasion. All of the above AND below! Because Yo Gotti is a ‘style’ that does NOT come free. He kept saying it: Yo Gotti is only here because Flex asked; hasn’t spit a freestyle in a decade!

January 30, 2020
Made me cry n!gga. And I don’t cry n!gga.
Meek Mill got the hookmaster for that “Racks In The Middle” (Roddy Ricch) to ride out one more time. Got this “Letter To Nipsey” for y’all to vibe to. Maybe cry to, a little. It’s okay #RIPNIP
All proceeds from sales and streams of “Letter To Nipsey” will benefit Nipsey’s family.

Chess Bars – “Bars On I-95 Freestyle†feat. J Quest x Rambo (Video)
January 30, 2020
I’m from “if they take your sh!t it was never yours!”
From that gritty! Like THAT, Quest? Daaaayyyuuummm! Chess Bars brought a SQUAD through to pop off on the I-95 mics… and leave ’em smoking… dammit!
Bars On I-95, Connecticut’s number 1 Rap Hip-Hop platform for your favorite artists. Making a lot of noise in the battle rap world, he was first battle rapper to ever come on Bars On I-95. Chess came and put on a full display of why he’s considered one of the best battle rappers over a beat. We invited him back on the show for a part 2 and he brought some new hungry spitters with him J Quest and Rambo, 2 of Bronx’s heaviest new spitters. They came and turned it into full cypher! TAP IN

January 29, 2020
They gone watch you like a motion picture.
So you know you gotta make a classic.
Ha! Caught you SLEEP, didn’t I? Bet you forgot that Korporate legit got hella flows. Don’t blame you, with all the hilarity, honeyz, and head scratching moments in his #BlackChicagoBeLike series, it’s easy to lose focus.
Good thing Korporate doesn’t… even after hours!

Homeboy Sandman – “Live & Breathe” (Prod. By Mono En Stereo) [Video]
January 29, 2020
If I decide to look you in the eye then you can die in peace…
The barz though. It’s how the Homeboy Sandman will always “Live & Breathe.” You can tell when emceeing is life for a rapper. Almost ANYbody can rap, but only a real emcee can embody the essence that allows him or her to BODY a rap… and make it seem this easy.
High concept video, but you know the plain and simple truth: Homeboy IS the truth!
From the Homeboy Sandman album “Dusty”

Dr. Oz Advocates For Medical Reform & Medical Marijuana (Video)
January 29, 2020
Not so low key, I have a cousin that knows Dr. Oz. Personally. Been on his show a few times. So, if you find yourself at Grady Memorial in the A-T-L and Dr. Kimberly Manning (megaton name bomb drop…BOOOOOOM!) is at work, you can tell her that you read her cousin’s blog posts DAILY (you do, of course)!
Dr. Oz stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about 11 years of his show.

Planet Asia – “Learned From OGs” feat. Fred The Godson x Elcamino (Prod. By 38 Spesh)
January 28, 2020
YES!
This is EXACTLY what needed to happen. A bunch of rapping azz rappers rapping their azzes off! Asia with an assist from Elcamino, starting off the whole jawn with GORDOOOOOO!
Planet Asia has recorded a number of albums with single producers (or production teams) throughout his prolific career. He has dropped classic material with DJ Muggs, Apollo Brown, Gensu Dean, DJ Concept, and of course his boys DirtyDiggs. However, according to King Medallions himself, his upcoming 38 Spesh-produced album “Trust The Chain†might be his best single-producer album yet. The pairing of PA’s funky linguistics and Spesh’s soulful loops is a match made in Hip-Hop heaven. Trust The Chain Drops 2/28
The lead single “Learned From OGs†is a collection of street lessons being passed down by Fresno’s finest and guests Fred The Godson and Elcamino.
