Fab Boy Boochie With R.I.P. Bars For ‘Cupcake’ (Video)
October 30, 2019
Shout to Birmingham’s (Alabama) Fabboy Boochie (aka Charles Smith) for this timely rhyme I caught on the Facebook feed. I think we will all feel this one for a while. We should. We must do better by our children.
We keep losing our babies in the most heinous ways. Recently, Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney was kidnapped from a party, and her remains were found a week later (more after the jump). Damn.

Step Brothers (Evidence x The Alchemist) – “Burnt Tree” (Video)
October 29, 2019
Evidence & A-L-C going HARD over that HARD beat that The Alchemist cooked up just for this occasion! A “Burnt Tree” (cess) probably contributed to the studio sess responsible for this scorched earth madness!
Burnt sacrifice for this ‘Sunday Service’ up in the hills…

Interview: Real Talk With T.I.’s Real-Life Wife, Tameka “Tiny†Harris (Video)
October 29, 2019
Wowwww… T.I. went full ‘Red Table Talk’ on this episode. Brought the spouse (Tiny) on, like Jada did with hubby Will Smith, to sip and spill all kinds of marital/relationship tea. I will admit to being a bit nervous when I hit play.
We all know that marriage and relationships aren’t easy subjects to talk about, but this ain’t the same fairytale unicorn approach you’ve heard before. Tip welcomes his matrimonial life partner, Tameka “Tiny†Harris into the #expediTIously studio for a “private,†refreshingly honest conversation on getting through life as a team.

Performance: Busta Rhymes Doing A Live On-Air Medley Of His Hit Songs For Power 106 FM (Video)
October 29, 2019
E-Man was right in there with Bussa Buss, wasn’t he? So DOPE! This is why I love radio and small room performances (like NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series and the ALL CAPS, no cap RESPECT! event). See how all the big show energy is concentrated in the clip? Hip-Hop Fission… and the folks’ reaction as the experience this… NUCLEAR!
It makes it all the more awesome that Busta and Big Boy were obviously having big fun all the while!
(Shout to my baby brother Lyle for tagging me in on Facebook for this HEAT!)

Young M.A – “The Lyfestyle” (Video)
October 28, 2019
Interesting.
Young M.A took a diffeent take with “The Lyfestyle” – song and video. Of course, loving the ladies… that’s the same. But spreading the wealth like this? Nah, that’s different. Not bad, just different.
Of course, she will still tell you she is cheap. That how a baller stays balling; how a player keeps money to play with #PeepGame #PeepTheLyfestyle #RedLyfe

Michael Rapaport Speaks About His Rants, Sh!t Talk, And Meek Mill’s Rap Skills (Video)
October 26, 2019
Michael Rapaport goes OFF… a lot! But good to know he is not burdened with that much hate. He’s just kidding around… except when he is getting after President Trump.
Actor & Comedian Michael Rapaport sits with Ebro In The Morning, and has a heated conversation about the New York Knicks, and the Brooklyn Nets.
He also has a passionate conversation about the state of Hip-Hop, and addresses some of the artists he enjoys in the current genre, and those he has a little bit of a problem with.

Young M.A Breaks Down Her Tattoos (Video)
October 25, 2019
Young M.A takes us on a tattoo tour. Learn the ink, learn the emcee & her life.
Brooklyn rapper Young M.A came up in an era of snapback hats and tattoos (think Wiz Khalifa, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy), so she always knew she wanted to get inked up. From her first tattoo memorializing her late brother to the one of her block in Brooklyn, Young M.A. breaks down all of her ink.

Keep it real and keep it pushing Tip. Proof that you don’t have to mumble to rap, or hate on those who do. Do you! That’s what T.I. is doing. No hate, no “Sabotage”… just doing the work.

Domani – “Forever” (Lyric Video)
October 22, 2019
Cole turned Domani down three times?? Hey, Quincy Jones turned down Madonna back in the day… That’s how it goes sometimes. You can let rejection stop you, or not. Just know that if you quit because someone else did not see YOUR vision, you must be prepared to live with your decision “Forever.”
Go get ’em Domani.
Off the “Time Will Tell” album (out now, linked below).
