Maino Featuring Mack Wilds "All About You"

The timelessness of 2Pac's material makes him an easy well for some sampling, and on this day, Maino is the latest artist to take advantage. Maino borrows "All About U" for his latest single of the same name, albeit with a correctly spelled "you." New York lady swooner Mack Wilds fills in Nate Dogg's duties on this ode to unfortunate chance meetings. Lastly, Maino attempts to replicate Snoop Dogg's famous outro, with updated slang and references of course. Like the girl from the T.I. video and Floyd Mayweather fight, for instance...—Brian Josephs

Ghostface Killah & BADBADNOTGOOD Featuring Danny Brown “Six Degrees”

Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah and Torono jazz group BADBADNOTGOOD are teaming up to put an 10-inch through Lex Records/eOne on Jun. 24.

Tyga "Real Deal"

After being spotted in the studio with Kanye West, Tyga is giving us the first taste of what he has been working on.

Today, the Last Kings rapper drops “Real Deal,” which finds him rapping about money and a girl he is feeling over an angelic beat. “Walk up in this bitch, said I need that, need that/Shorty caught my eye, said I need that, I need that/Let me get a feel man, I hope it feel real, I’m fucking the real deal, bend over bitch you know the drill,” he raps on the chorus.

T-Raw’s forthcoming album, The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty, is set to release this year.

Justin Bieber Featuring Migos "Looking For You"

Well this was...unexpected, to say the least. Last night, Justin Bieber dropped a new track out of thin air called "Looking For You" featuring none other than Atlanta's favorite hip-hop trio of the moment, Migos. "What's up, Migos?" Bieber says to kick off the track, before they answer back and invite him to the club, which he's become so fond of recently. The track follows the synth-club formula the Biebz has followed with some of his recent releases, including his similarly-out-of-nowhere collaboration with Chance The Rapper, "Confident," which dropped in January.

Bieber's been continually putting himself in the center of the hip-hop world of late, with photos popping up on Instagram of him in the studio with the likes of Lil Boosie, Lil Wayne and Birdman in recent months (Birdman also shelled out for a Bugatti which he gave Bieber in April). Reports surfaced in February claiming that Biebz had moved to Atlanta in order to hang out with more rappers, and it seems like he finally found his way into the Bando. Hopefully he made it back out. Then again, he was also spotted rapping Tupac's "Dear Mama" while hanging out in a club with Rick Ross earlier this month, so who knows what's going on.—Dan Rys
