Well$ has been making a name for himself in the digital press with a series of low-stakes, high-concept songs (see: "98 Juvie," "Bike Safety"). Now, as evidenced by his last dispatch, the Kendrick Lamar-sampling "Clocks," the North Carolina rapper has turned his focus to touring life and the practical and philosophical complications that come with it...

Yesterday (August 13), word got out that 50 Cent had some new heat for his fan base. Video surfaced online of the Queens rapper performing a starkly personal new single called "9 Shots." The song, which he said would be included on his long-awaited Street King Immortal, plays off the 2000 shooting that left him in recovery for half a year and uses the titular shots as metaphors for diffi

Hip-hop lost one of its legends Saturday, Aug. 8, when Brooklyn native Sean Price unexpectedly died in in his sleep at the age of 43. The hip-hop community was greatly sadden after news spread that the Boot Camp Clik rapper passed away. Yesterday (Aug 12), Mac Miller dropped a track featuring the late Brownsville MC...

The video for Robin Thicke and Nicki Minaj's new disco-infused single "Back Together" is out. Robin tries to win the girl of his dreams as he sings "You used your love to tear me apart/ now me back together." It looks like Thicke is ready to move on from Paula Patton and this pop record could be his launching pad. The...

Chief Keef and Lil Durk link up for “Young & Reckless." Drill music fans will fall in love with this track as the two Chicagoans deliver a street anthem to turn up to. "All white everything, GBE the snowman/I'm OTF but tell Sosa I need a glo man/Head shot niggas know how we roll man/Fuck fifteen and thirty I need it for a show man," raps Durk. Autotune...

King Los goes back to his hometown in "Ghetto Boy" music video. The video focuses on the streets that raised the RCA Records signee and also the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody. Gray, a 25-year-old African-American, died on April 19, 2015 from injuries to his spinal cord allegedly at the hands of six Baltimore police officers...

Casey Veggies was supposed to have the album out by now. Earlier this summer, the Inglewood rapper announced that Live & Grow would be dropping August 7; though he hasn't hit that date, the release hasn't been pushed too far. Fans can now look forward to the LP next month, on September 25. To tide...

Over the weekend, Sean Price died at the age of 43. Details of his health at the time of his death or more generally were not immediately available, but a statement from his camp indicates the revered MC passed away in his sleep at his Brooklyn apartment...

People like to draw party lines when it comes to Chicago rap--the drill scene is here, the cerebral stuff over by the park. But even in her own corner of the Windy City, Noname Gypsy is criminally overlooked. She's one of the most promising rappers out of the Midwest right now, and her contributions to Chance The Rapper's "Israel (Sparring)" are a strong argument to that effect... Read M

Machine Gun Kelly fans have been waiting for a sophomore album for a long time now. The Cleveland native and Bad Boy signee put out a stop-gap mixtape, the Pusha T-, Wiz Khalifa- and Meek Mill-featuring Black Flag back in 2013, a year after Lace Up, his retail debut, had hit stores.  Si...

New Orleans native Pell drops "Vanilla Sky," a versatile joint produced by Like Minds. Pell flows back and forth between a sing-song melody and straight raps as he flashes the skill that has afforded him the accomplishment of heading out on tour with Kehlani ...

Contrary to what Americans might see, Toronto is not a one-rapper (or one-rapper-plus-the-Weeknd) town. Interscope signee Tory Lanez is out to prove that, and his new single, "Say It," is an important piece of the resume.
