Westside Gunn – “Lucha Bros” feat. Curren$y x Benny The Butcher (Prod. By The Alchemist)
Light on the percussion (no real boom or bap). Buttery on the fluffy instrumentals (aired out track). Okay, this “Lucha Bros” from Westside Gunn (featuring Curren$y & Benny The Butcher) is that good biscuit!

Neak – “Dreamer’s Sadness” feat. Taylor Iman (Video)
It’s one life and one shot.
I’m here to give it all I got!
Of course, a song with a title like “Dreamer’s Sadness” is going to have a ‘high-concept’ music video. But whatever Neak and his team came up with, I am glad the visuals include the lovely Taylor Iman. Yes yes!

Performance: Big Boi x Sleepy Brown – “Intentions†feat. CeeLo Green (On Jimmy Kimmel Live) [Video]
Yes, yes!
Looks like The Great Pumpkin granted somebody’s wish. Somebody in the Kimmel crowd got to see an awesome performance from some of ATL’s dopest artists… featuring a couple of the sexiest, thicky-THICKest ‘skeletons’ ever to slide in and shake their bones (pause) in a trick-or-treat outfit!

Joell Ortiz – “Anxiety” (Prod. By Nottz) [Video]
So necessary! My brother BoneBreaker Jones and I used to have constant conversations about this. Get help if you need it. That’s just good sense, but historically we have been on some nonsense in our community when it comes to matters of mental health… dismissive and even destructive at times. That has to stop, and talk like what Joey O puts down on this Nottz-produced track must continue!
Mental Health awareness is more than just a hashtag or a month of the year dedicated to its cause. It’s an everyday issue. Millions of us struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD and many other forms of mental illness. I just want everyone to know that they should never feel ashamed or be afraid to ask for help. You’re not weak or crazy or a failure. You’re human. And humans aren’t perfect. We’re flawed and delicate. Speak to a therapist. Talk to a friend. Exercise. Diet. Meditate. Do whatever it takes. You’re worth it. Who knows… Your story may help someone else. Like me.

OSHUN – “Me” (Video)
Super-conscious, super-cute… OSHUN oozes a higher-level sensuality in their music. This “Me” is another wonderful demonstration of that and then some! You can get the single off the “Bittersweet” (Vol. 1) album.

Grafh – “5 Fingers Of Death†(Freestyle) [Video]
Damn. Sway & them were riding Grafh hard for being late, weren’t they? Granted, it is unprofessional to be late. Good for him for owning his slipping… but when he settled in for the trip into the Valley Of The HYEEENNNAAAAS… the part that usually ‘unsettles’ emcees… Grafh went slap the f**k off!
And now Sway is happy with Grafh again. Because BARZ!

Neak – “Fight” (Video)
Is God listening? That I’m unsure of.
Neak has to “Fight.” for life, because what is better? What is more important?
Through the rumble, whine and chaos of this beat he laid down, AND the lyrics he laced on top of that, Neak is trying to get us all to realize the ‘what’ and ‘why’ we have to “Fight.”.
Guitar by George Wundsam (Deep Fayed). Song featured on Neak’s new self-produced album “KWESBAAR.” Available on all major streaming platforms.

D Smoke, Londynn B, Troyman & Flawless Chat & Freestyle On ‘Sway In The Morning’ (Video)
Hmm… I wonder if Flawless was this picky for his BET Cypher freestyle (see here). No matter, because under pressure, the bars were up to par. Flawless is fierce with the flows.
And he will keep sharpening that sword. As will the rest of the Rhythm + Flow artists up there with Sway that day.
The internet has been buzzing about Netflix’s new show, Rhythm + Flow, and today we welcome the final contestants, Londynn B, Flawless, Troyman and of course the winner of the $250k, D Smoke.
Not only did these 4 fire spitters talk about their journey on the show, the exposure they received and the advice they were gifted from each celebrity judge — but they also gave advice themselves.
Inglewood reppin’ D Smoke also opened up about his investment plans with his quarter of a million.
You know we couldn’t let them leave without dropping off a few bars though.

Twista – “So Fresh So Clean” feat. Berner x Clarkairlines (Video)
If you really, really respect a playa… just hearing that his name and new music video are out there out to be enough to get you checking for it.
Got ’nuff respect for Twista?
Well, I do. I clicked and watched ASAP, knowing I was gonna post this regardless.
(Because I knew it was gonna be good! I mean, it’s off his “Summer 96” mixtape after all.)

Tiffany Haddish Went To Hang With Snoop Dogg On His Birthday (Video)
Tiffany Haddish. Yessuh!
Why am I posting her for the nooner hour? Because of that re-THICK-ulous azz DONK she STUFFED in them JEANS! That’s that thicky-thickie-THICKEE. Oowee!
Plus, she is fun. Crazy, sexy, cool. So much the party-maker that Uncle Snoop had to have her out for his born day celebration.
Looks like Warren G was glad Tiff made it out, too.
Great clip!

RJ Payne – “What We Doing” feat. Freeway (Prod. By P.A. Dre)
RJ hears the suckas out there talking sh!t. But what they wanna do though? It can get very hectic very fast. ‘Freeway beard sticking out’ and so is his gun! That part.
Careful answering that “What We Doing” question, haters. Just saying.
