Yung JB – “Blazers” feat. Cory Gunz (Prod. By Young Devante) [Video]
March 19, 2020
You got worried when you saw Yung (as in most folks calling themselves ‘Yung’ anything can NOT be real spitters)… and got worried, didn’t you?
No?
Okay, well, either (1) you already knew about JB, (2) you thought Gunz was gonna carry the song with his barz, or (3) you are flat-out LYING!
It’s alright. I will admit it. I was worried. Until I clicked play. FIRE #Blazers

4-IZE – “Look Into My IZE” (Album)
March 19, 2020
When you get to the plate, and release a full plate, and represent the Ultra Beast… Here comes the pitch, and you SWING! You swing hard and knock it out the park! That’s just 4-IZE doing what he is expected to do. What’s unexpected though, is the squad of high-powered features on “Look Into My IZE!” Of course, he has his partner Señor KAOS on there. But look into the playlist below (after the jump) and see how many more spitters. Plus, production by some beat BEASTS!
You can hear the result. Stream it below right now!
Jadakiss – “Gov’t Cheese” feat. Dej Loaf x Nino Man x Millyz
March 19, 2020
Intro is done. I’m just working on the outro.
Okay. That opening talk-off by Jadakiss was deep. Dope start! Pain… everyone can relate and suffers through it… but how you DEAL with the pain you go through affects your experience with pain in the future. FACTS! Made me think: Am I trying to run from some pain, cover it up, or do something other than take it on directly? Fix it or deal. Taking that away with me.
Good to hear something from Dej after a long while, too. Nice head-nod music.
“Ignatius” is out now!

RJ Payne – “The Autobiography Of Kobe Bryant” (R.I.P. Kobe And Gigi Bryant)
March 18, 2020
Even if you was a hater, you gotta give him respect…
Yeah. RJ Payne did that. Fresh off the news when this “The Autobiography Of Kobe Bryant.” dropped on PaperChaserDotCom. Dope tribute. Seems prophetic, too. Payne felt the Payne pain and shared it here. For the late great Hall Of Famer. Payne tried to to give Kobe his flowers when he was here to smell them. Regardless, RIP Kobe and Gigi Bryant.
RJ Payne recorded this tribute to Kobe Bryant several years ago, but it wasn’t widely released. “It’s new to the world,” Payne told me.
With today’s tragic news of the basketball legend and his 13-year old daughter, Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, dying in a helicopter crash it feels right to give it some light.
Major props to RJ Payne!

Jay Electronica – “A Written Testimony” (Album)
March 18, 2020
Okay. Here we go. The album we have waited on for over 10 years. Jay Electronica is a five-mic emcee, without a doubt. NO ONE is trying to see Jay on them barz, son! Maybe, not even that Jay (Hova). Hmmm…
Ten tracks for a 10-year wait. But was the wait worth it? We will see, and hear, as soon as we press play!
(I cheated. I already pressed play as I was writing. Some surprises in there, including a BIG one, but I will not spoil it for you. LISTEN!)

Buc$ – “Headz Or Tailz” (Pt. 2)
March 17, 2020
You spell it like Buc$, but you say it like Buc Dollar. Yup, the Tuscaloosa OG got himself one (and apparently, into one… a mess) with this installment of “Headz Or Tailz.” Dope storytelling on deck for Mr. Dollar. And if you are in ATL, you know some of those spots he’s calling out in here, and how it can go down in the A. But what was he doing over this way in the first place? Buc$ has his own A to worry about, Alabama.
Just listen. It will all come together. Or maybe it will start to fall apart; depending on your point of view! Off the “Neva Say Die” project (out now).

Arguably the epitome of what Charlemagne Tha God means when he says a woman is “aging like wine and NOT like milk”… is sitting right next to him. The guest: Angela Bassett.

DJ Kayslay – “Living Legend” feat. Jadakiss x Queen Latifah x Bun B (Video)
March 16, 2020
I built the ground that you walk on.
I taught you how to tilt your crown. Come on!
If seeing the lineup for this rhymefest did not make you wanna click play ASAP… maaaybeee you aren’t in the right place. Just saying. But stay if you wanna know what a “Living Legend” flows like. We got three examples right here for you – Jadakiss, Queen Latifah, and Bun B!
Note: If your response to seeing Queen Latifah as one of the emcees on this was, “Oh, she raps? Wonder what made her try that.” Then you get a pass. And a drag rag… to wipe that wetness from behind your ears… young’un (haha)!
This is the title track for an EP that DJ Kayslay has out now (linked below). But hold up. Before you go for that. Peep the visual. Golden Era bars! Plus, salute to Kay for ALL THAT THICK HONEYNESS in this video #YeezusWEST

Jadakiss | The L.A. Leakers | Freestyle #101 (Video)
March 16, 2020
Before you play your part, you gotta read your lines first.
Yessir.
VENOMMMMMM is getting spit into that mic! And J got right to it. Very little prelim talk, and when the Nate Dogg beat dropped, Jadakiss ROCKED #TheyGottaKnowIt

Dave East – “Really Wit Me” (Prod. Mike Kuz x Joe Joe Beats) [Video]
March 16, 2020
If I don’t know you, I don’t know you. I don’t feel strangers…
Dear label execs: Do not come at East with the wack-azz quarter-mill advance deal. That’s no money. Plus, he doesn’t know you to “trust you” like that (e.g. don’t feed him the “we can renegotiate” line either).
Besides, Dave doesn’t need the money or the trappings of wealth. What he NEEDS is to know the answer to his question: Who “Really Wit Me” (what we all really need to know for real)?

Jadakiss – “Huntin Season” feat. Pusha T (Video)
March 16, 2020
Who did it with the G.O.A.T.’s? Who writes they’re own quotes?
Finally, that new LP from Jada dropped last week. Now, as though Kiss wasn’t working before, the push really gets to shoving. And speaking of Push… How about a feature from Pusha T? Beware wack rappers, it’s “Huntin Season” y’all!
“Ignatius” is out now!

Benny The Butcher – “Did I” (Prod. By Fuse Of 808 Mafia x Black Metaphor)
March 16, 2020
Did The Butcher do something wrong? Not according to him. So why point a finger at him? Matter of fact, no need to answer. All these liars letting dude’s name fall out their mouths are gonna get the work!
(Hear him talking up that Jimmy Fallon performance? He did smash that. Guilty!)

Neil Degrasse Tyson Separates Myth From Fact & Speaks On The Coronavirus (Video)
March 16, 2020
Of course, Sway is gonna have the go-to smart Brother speak on the Coronavirus when he comes through. How could he not? Shout to Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson for always bringing light, logic and a bit of levity to even the most touchy matters #ButNoTouchingNowadays #SocialDistancing
In our recent interview with Neil Degrasse Tyson, he talked about the new season of The Cosmos, breaks down the falsehood of the theories that humans use only 10% of their brains, and how genetics can pass down intellectual and physical attributes.

Ras Kass x RJ Payne – “F.L.Y. Remix” (Prod. By Gensu Dean)
March 13, 2020
‘Out with the old. In with the new’… Okay, Ras Kass, then let’s go ahead and have RJ take his turn riding that track, with some new twists and turns thrown in. Gensu is a beat genius to boot; really touched this jawn up lovely! Dean brought the Payne to this Ras Kass & DJ Green Lantern jawn they dropped last year.
But you know what they say, “F.L.Y.” (F*ck Last Year)… This is the REMIX!
(Full disclosure: Ras dropped this remix right at the end of 2019. So, there’s that. Hahaaa!)

4-IZE – “Verse 164†(Prod. By Mudnoc) [Video]
March 13, 2020
You know what? 4-IZE has a point: Where are all the flying cars?? We haven’t even gotten self-driving cars out and about yet. We are behind schedule with the sci-fi tech we are supposed to have by now. Good thing we got these unbelievable flows (but believe, because FACTS) from Bro4 though.

Conway The Machine – “Sign Language” (Prod. By Daringer)
March 13, 2020
Hip-Hop about to experience a climate shift.
It already is. The temperature is different out there in Buffalo. HOT! I mean, it’s still cold… and the BARZ are colder… but we are not gonna act like every time Conway spits he ain’t spitting pure FIRE! And he has a LOT of work out there.
That supreme sh!t talk Stone Cold Steve Austin was bringing to Iron Mike Tyson’s face in that audio clip at the end though. I remember seeing that live on TV back a good long while ago. Ended it with a double ‘one finger salute’ (“Sign Language” for real)! Maaaan, them Griselda dudes are some real rasslin’ fans #MeToo
