Stream Your Old Droog’s Self-Titled Album
The Nas as Your Old Droog myth has long been debunked, but he's good enough of a rhymer without that mystery. There's more proof of that in the form of his self-titled debut LP.
This time, you get to listen to Your Old Droog without the whole "Is he or isn't he Nas...
Stream Rick Ross’ ‘Hood Billionaire’
There are no delays this time. As announced, Hood Billionaire is dropping next week. There's no need to wait, of course; it's available for streaming a little over a week before the drop.
Hood Billionaire — which fills in the gap left by Meek Mill's delayed Dreams Worth More Than Money — is Ross' second release of the year. It's also ...
Wara From The NBHD Gets A Peak At Drugs And Blood In “Slangin” Video
The rougher undertones from "Raw" come to the forefront for "Slangin," Wara From The NBHD's latest video. The visuals find the rapper just trying to get through his day. Of course, that's far harder than it seems. There's a robbery, drug use, a body and not a lot of smiles...
Bodega BAMZ Runs His Namesake In “El-Rey” Video
Great news: Bodega BAMZ is still running these streets. The Harlem native returns with the video to "El-Rey" just days after the song dropped. The concept of this one isn't too different from what he's previously done. He's at the store, driving a whip and counting stacks...
Rick Ross “Neighborhood Drug Dealer”
Is Rick Ross your "Neighborhood Drug Dealer?" No. But Metro Boomin is on the track so just go along with it. The producer's glitchy, pulsating instrumental adds color to Ross' monotonous shouts.
Ross has still pays his child support in trap money, has that Chevy SS and will put out Hood Billionaire on Nov...
Young Buck Featuring 50 Cent And Tony Yayo “Bring My Bottles”
Young Buck brings 50 Cent and Tony Yayo along in what's essentially a G-Unit track disguised as a solo effort. But "Young Buck Featuring 50 Cent and Tony Yayo" and "G-Unit" have been interchangeable this year. Young Buck has sounded hungry in a lot of 2014 releases, and "Bring My Bottles" is another example of that renewed appetite...

Lil Jon And Problem “Andale”
“Like Whaaat” ran its course and the turn-up absurdity of "Turn Down for What" has come and gone. So naturally, it's time to put in work. The two decide to join forces to tear the club up again for "Andale." The word roughly translates to "Hurry Up!," and for a son...
IAMSU! Featuring Yo Gotti And French Montana “Only That Real”
IAMSU! decided to take it back a couple of months by returning to one of his best known songs, "Only That Real." The Bay scene standout gets a turned up a notch with the addition of two club mainstays from the other coast. French Montana and Yo Gotti join for the remix...
Stromae Featuring Lorde, Pusha T, HAIM And Q-Tip “Meltdown”
Here's a bit of an anomaly. Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 1 is big enough to bring the disparately different Pusha T, pop trio HAIM and Lorde on one track. Singer Stromae takes lead and Q-Tip joins as a feature on "Meltdown."
One probably sees this lineup and think someone was hungry for that paycheck...
Azealia Banks Dances In The Moonlight In “Chasing Time”
">
Azealia Banks finally got on the public's good side when she suddenly dropped Broke With Expensive Tastes. "Chasing Time," a single and a highlight, gets the worthy video treatment.
The clip has snippets of what makes Broke With Expensive Tastes a necessary listen: the love of dance culture, a bit of fantasy with the floating orbs and perhaps a small hint at her Harlem beginni
Watch the “Shady CXVPHER” Featuring Eminem, Slaughterhouse And Yelawolf
Anybody who's familiar with the Shady's performance at the BET Hip-Hop Awards cyphers know why this one was so anticipated. But it's finally here. The Shady CXVPHER featuring Eminem, Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf is just as acerbic, punchline-heavy, and quick-tongued as you would expect...
