4-IZE – “Verse 142†(Prod. By LK Productions) [Video]
July 31, 2019
A’ight then, LK Productions. I did a bit of peeking at socials. Independent Artist and Producer residing in Nashville, TN… but I see the ‘Bama’ and the 334 (my home state and stomping grounds)… AND I see you rocking the Crimson Tide (my Alma Mater) apparel on the ‘Gram. Salute for repping hard with that hard beat for the latest 4-IZE freestyle!

Snoop Dogg x Redman – “Blaze Up” (Video)
July 30, 2019
Redman and Snoop Dogg get up for a track and it goes down like that! Some puff-puff references, but more pass-the-mic than pass-the-blunt this go ’round. Which is cool… because sometimes emcees gotta let folks know they still got flows. “Blaze Up” if you holding. The rest of y’all can just press play.

Inspectah Deck – “Game Don’t Change” (Video)
July 30, 2019
The jab-jab rhyme style. The vivid lyrical imagery. The wailing loop in the instrumental. And now add that buzzing (like Killer Bees swarming). Yeah, we have a Wu General sighting. It’s Deck doing dirt and damage! Wild and crazy video, too.
The “Game Don’t Change†is the 1st single off the [album] “Chamber #9†by the Legendary Wu-Tang Clan member Inspectah Deck.
You can grab “Chamber #9†at rebelins.com (out now).

Dax Mpire – “Justice For All” feat. Chino XL (Remix) [Prod. By Dark Summers]
July 30, 2019
Maaaaan, the way the BARZ and rapid-fire flows started right away in this jawn… I expected to hear that ‘Team Backpack dot com’ audio tag right before the first hook chant. Dark Summers’ dark track is perfect for Dax and XL to go dark as hell on it with the lyrical content. Check it out!

Avrex – “Step Into The Light” feat. No Malice (Prod. By Astro) [Video]
July 30, 2019
Went from pitchin’ in kitchens to serving God’s mission…
Yeah, that Avrex; Gangstarr affiliated. Now you can link him to No Malice. And he stays linked to the BARZ. Righteous BARZ. For The King Of Kings! But I’m gonna let the lyricists assist on getting that Gospel to the streets. Street disciples for real.
The MA-born, VA-raised Avrex partners up with fellow Virginian No Malice on this vintage Hip-Hop banger. Avrex drops his 2nd single “Step Into The Light” feat. No Malice, produced by Astro off his upcoming album “Growth.” This is a poignant record with bars from both Avrex who is on his rookie album and No Malice the seasoned veteran. The God-fearing bars dropped here are definitely high-level rap. No Malice, previously of the Clipse, blesses the track with witty word play and a tenacious hunger for more, as if this is his debut. Avrex speaks truth and logic with various punchlines and a creative monsoon of style, drenching the track with pure Hip-Hop. #avrex #highlevelrap #stepintothelight #growth #nomalice

J.Gray x Kendal Untamed – “Win” feat. 3D Na’Tee (Video)
July 30, 2019
No need for me to even lie about it. I have been fiending for missing them 3D Na’Tee videos. Well, she must have heard my thoughts (or my pants, gasps, and heavy breathing… because my THIRST for her is REAL… you see her), because LOOOOOOK!
Here’s something to hold you over until I drop these new Monday Morning Exercises on you! Recently I linked with two dope artists – @kendal_247 and @j.graylifestyle – to create this song “WIN.” Then they took a trio to my hometown, New Orleans, to create this visual! Tell me what you think about it in the comments!

Ice T – “Feds In My Rearview” (Video)
July 29, 2019
This is the first of a trilogy? Hell, Ice, I’m good with this being a one-off to show that you, the OG (Original Gangsta) still got it. But since you are a certified recognized pimp in this game, play on player. Can’t wait for the second and third if they anywhere near as dope as this “Feds In My Rearview” joint!
…follows Ice T on a journey through the violence of the gangster/player lifestyle, which ultimately attracts some unwanted attention. According to Ice, the visual for “Feds In My Rearview” is the first video from a three-part trilogy. The song “Feds In My Rearview” is taken from the upcoming album, The Foundation.

Juice WRLD Vs. The World’s Hottest Hot Wings (Video)
July 29, 2019
Okay, we know Juice WRLD handles the heat when it comes to the pressure for freestyling… but what about handling that Hot Ones heat? Think he has what it takes to make it through and to the last dab? Let’s see.
Juice WRLD joined Sean Evans LIVE at ComplexCon Chicago this past weekend, just hours before shutting down the Pigeons & Planes stage. The Chicago superstar is a platinum-selling artist whose latest album, Death Race For Love, debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, and he has a new single with Ellie Goulding called “Hate Me” out now. But how is he with spicy food? Find out as the hometown hero takes on the wings of death in front of a live audience. Along the way, he talks about his dirt-bike obsession, the appeal of ‘Percy Jackson’ novels, and the reason you shouldn’t pigeonhole SoundCloud rappers.

Freeway – “About You” feat. Johnnii (Video)
July 29, 2019
So cool. So hot. That’s Philly Freezer’s new jawn “About You.” Nice choice of Honey-coated girlfriend/wifey/co-star in the video. The song keeps it real about keeping up with the grind when you are about that music life. But still manages to come across butter smooth with the R&B crooner assist from Johnnii on the track. Dope!
Drink Champs: Nas (Video)

The G.O.D.M.C. Nasir sits for the chit-chat while letting the glasses go clink-clack with the Drink Champs. Gotta talk up the “Lost Tapes 2” project he’s pushing, but there’s sooooo much more in here!
N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN sit down with the legendary Nas for an iconic episode as they discuss the release of his new album, putting Queens back on the map, and the one person who said no to being a feature on a song.

Common & Ray Wimley Freestyle At Essence Fest (Video)
July 26, 2019
Have you seen this yet? So DOPE!!
A true off-the-top rhyme experience! How rare is that nowadays? Very. And Common walking by AND JOINING IN?? Very VERY very rare… like pandas pooping four leaf clovers rare.
I was riding down the street a few years ago in New Orleans an ran across this dope street musician named Ray Wimley. What caught my attention was that he was really and truly freestyling! And he was GOOD! So this year at Essence Fest our paths crossed again but this time I joined in. I’m telling y’all right now, he’s special!
The art of freestyling at its finest with Ray Wimley.
Here’s the full video of me rocking with Ray in a real random freestyle cypher.

So, can we rock?

IDK – “24” (Video)
July 25, 2019
Run-it-back-run-it-back-run-it-back! It’s IDK running us this “24” track. Subdued beat, but that does nothing to tamp down the speed and flows of IDK.

Nas – “Queensbridge Politics” (Prod. By Pete Rock)
July 25, 2019
Queensbridge just ain’t any other hood…
Nas lets us know that it’s Queensbridge over everybody else! Spitting some history, shouting out his homies (including the dearly departed), this is that good grade of N-A-S that you wanted to blow some C-B-D to. Ha!
This Pete Rock-produced jawn is off “The Lost Tapes 2” album (out now). Did you know Nas had Al Jarreau on there as one of the features?
