The hottest record in hip hop isn’t produced by DJ Mustard. It doesn’t feature K Camp or YG. It features knowledge… Common’s song “Kingdom” is must hear music for the masses. It’s about the state – the real state – of the black community via Chicago stories. It may fall on deaf ears to some but with a dope assist from rhyme-smith Vince Staples, a few more will get the message. Check Com’s 10th studio album Nobody’s Smiling. Knowledge is power.
Is it just me or is Justin Bieber having an identity crisis? The 20-year-old superstar has turned into one of those tatted up, weed smoking, hip-hop r&b singers hated by people like Keyshawn Johnson. At least on his new song with The Migos, “Looking For You,” he lets them handle the rhyme responsibilities. And in their own unique way. What will come of this? Only the dance floors in a club near you hold that secret…
I heard a new diddy bop from Ne-Yo that reminded me of 2006 “So Sick” Ne-Yo. His track “Money Can’t Buy” brings one of R&B’s hottest singers back, full circle. “Money Can’t Buy” is a dope set up record to heat those hot summer streets coast to coast. For good measure Young Jeezy blesses the track in true G fashion. Make sure you ride with top down to this…
HitBoy has proven his worth as producer in the music biz. His next foray has him teamed up with his MC group HS87. The group consist of Audio Push, Hit and Kent M$ney. For their latest leak they called for a quickie cameo from Kid Cudi on a dope new track called “Scorn.” Be sure to check that We The Plug album with the entire HS87 and friends.
I have to admit this kid Zach Farlow kind of snuck up on me. Somebody important’s behind him. When you step in the game with top notch production from the likes of Lex Lugar, Metro Boomin and Young Chop on your first EP, your team is strong. His new joint “How It Goes” has a shot, not because it has one of the hottest up and comers on it, K Camp, but because it fits the hip-hop of now..
