DMX Breaks Down His Most Iconic Tracks (Video)
September 27, 2019
I’m angry all the time… I got a lot to be grateful for… It’s kinda who I am…
Great idea to have a studio bus right on the movie-making lot for DMX. Joel Silver gets a check mark in the genius column for that move. Got some bangers for the movie soundtrack that way.
Rap legend DMX breaks down his most iconic tracks, including ‘X Gon’ Give it to Ya,’ ‘Ruff Ryder’s Anthem,’ ‘What’s My Name?,’ ‘Party Up (Up in Here),’ and ‘Where the Hood At?’

September 26, 2019
I mean. It wasn’t like “Retropolitan” wasn’t fair already. Just Skyzoo & Pete Rock is enough of a team to make the fans AND the haters scream (joy and PAIN)!
Now we get this lineup on a single. Wow! “Eastern Conference All​-​Stars” is definitely an appropriate title.

Big Flip Papi – “Back It Out, Dump It” feat. Uncle Murda
September 26, 2019
Geeeeee YOT dam!! This is some bang-bang-rah-rah-click-clack-bap-bllrrrap!! With Big Flip Papi AND Uncle Murda on the track, what else could it be?
Big Flip Papi is at it again! This time he stays in Brooklyn and picks up one of Hip-Hop’s most disrespectful/hardest rappers ever, Uncle Murda, for [this] single “Back It Out, Dump It.” This track is hard and grimy from beginning to end, and on the 3rd verse they go back to back to make this a banger. Big Flip Papi aka RNR only been home 10 months from his 6 1/2 year bid and have out worked 80% of rappers out here grinding. What’s scary he’s getting better & just getting started!

Julian Samuels – “Make America Great Again” (Video)
September 26, 2019
Social media. Sometimes it be on that BS. But sometimes a share I see there should earn the sharer a BS… For Birmingham (Alabama) born artist J Samuels, that’d be a Bachelor of [Dropping] Science… on what it takes to really ‘make America great’… Nowadays he’s coming at us straight out of Jacksonville (Florida) with this call for spiritual healing, for no more games, for us to care for and love each other, and to try to get on the some page.
And no, it will not be easy. Whoever said striving for greatness would be easy??
This is the biggest song from my latest project called “Feel My Pain” if you’d like to listen for free, click here!

Tee Grizzley – “Satish” (Video)
September 25, 2019
Damn. That’s a lot of pain to put in verses. It’s like Tee Grizzley is pushing more words through the mic tube than it can take. Causing pain in return for pain. Check out the visuals for “Satish” above.

Rhythm Roulette With Rockwilder (Video)
September 25, 2019
You know Rockwilder. You certainly know his work: Jay-Z’s “Do It Again”… 50 Cent’s “Do You Think About Me”. But now, see how Rockwilder met the blindfolded beatmaking challenge.
Mass Appeal’s #RhythmRoulette returns with a bang, as this special, Tracklib edition of the show stars none other than the producer Rockwilder, who has been crafting face-melters behind the boards for the better part of the last three decades.

Young M.A – “No Bap Freestyle” (Video)
September 24, 2019
Think I saw somewhere where Young M.A has an album coming out soon. That’d be cool. Her fans certainly have waited a looong time (this is me, raising my hand). But BARZ though, M.A… Let’s get back to the BARZ!
Oh, so she has a freestyle video out now? Like right now? Bet! Let’s get into that then.

Speak Speaks Politics & Spits Fire In His “5 Fingers of Death” Freestyle (Video)
September 24, 2019
Admittedly, I did not catch his prior appearance on Sway In The Morning (when he says he was high out of his mind). But I bet that interesting to say the least. This one though. FIRE! From the interview to the shutdown freestyle. Straight FI-YAAAAH!!! Salute to Speak. Lean in and listen up!
Speak stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about his new project ‘Singularity’ and talks about the political climate between the USA and Mexico.

Birdman x Juvenile – “Ride Dat†feat. Lil Wayne (Video)
September 24, 2019
Well I’ll be a…
See? This is EXACTLY the song you do NOT want bumping in that young dude’s car stereo when he pulls up to your house to take your daughter out!! Talking about “Ride Dat”…
Little girl, you turn right back around and go right back to your room… Meanwhile, I’m going to go out to the driveway and tell these ne’er-do-wells what they can damn well do with their ‘ride’ and ‘dat’…
(Waits until baby girl stomps away mad, marches out to youngster’s car, and finds out how I can get a copy of this jawn… Because I’m gone play this tonight, after I exile the daughter to her Granny’s house for the evening… And I’mma tell my baby’s Momma to “Ride Dat” all night tonight *wink*)
HA!!

IDK – “Porno” feat. Pusha T x J.I.D (Audio)
September 23, 2019
This what happens when you’re exposed to porn at the age of six…
Yep. IDK, Pusha T, and J.I.D… “Porno”… that happened. They ALL went extra stoopit ill on this single off the IDK LP (linked below). Just listen and be prepared to listen again. First for the experience, THEN again in an attempt to take it all in.
(Pause. It feels like I should say ‘pause’ when the single is called “Porno” and there is mention of ‘taking it all’… right?)
