Redman drops a new single and the accompanying video for "Somebody Got Robbed" featuring Mr. Yellow. The New Jersey legend comes back with gutter rhymes that fans will love. There's no question about whether or not the Newark native still has clout in these streets, as he spits about what happens when you get caught slippin'...

God bless the mixtape. As he continues to tease his newest compilation, DJ Holiday taps Compton menace Problem, DC's mainstream hope, Wale, and French Montana, America's favorite social climber. The resultant track, "Let Me At Em," skews toward the left side of the map, owing to DJ Mustard's recent run of radio dominance and his Bay Area forefathers...

Kendrick Lamar's dense, ambitious sophomore album, To Pimp a Butterfly, can be difficult to digest. Influences--G-funk, P-funk, jazz, soul--swirl, political diatribes intersect with one another, poems and interviews with dead rappers cloud your field of vision. But...

If anyone has been through the industry wringer, it's Joell Ortiz. In the middle of the last decade, during hip-hop's ringtone dynasty era, the Brooklyn MC made a name for himself as a gritty, animated realist. He signed to Aftermath when the reverberations of Get Rich or Die Trying were still ringing throughout the industry, then released the independent album The Brick: Bodega Chronicles, which

Trey Songz is a controlled substance and should be doled out very carefully. His turn on J.R.'s "Best Friend" is predictably on-brand, the perfect chemical balance of sleaze and sincerity, honesty and innuendo, pineapple and vodka. Fresh off of tour with Songz and Chris Brown, the upstart from St...

If you've been in or near the resort complexes on tropical islands in the Caribbean or South Pacific, you know that just about anything can be bought. We're not talking goods or services, but experiences--swim with the dolphins, cook with the locals, help birth baby sea turtles, buy a villa and dodge your student loans...

King Los drops "90s Interlude," a sultry new single featuring Omarion. Produced by Da Internz, this song is an ode to what was arguably the best era in hip-hop. King Los slows his rhymes up on his latest track, rapping about the connection he feels with a special lady...

What do you do when your movie franchise about male strippers loses both Matthew McConaughey and Steven Soderbergh? Well, you cast Donald Glover and have him cover Bruno Mars songs on the soundtrack. At least, that's what the producers of Magic Mike XXL did: For the sequel to the Soderbergh-directed, Channing Tatum-starring surprise hit from 2012, Iron Horse Entertainment was forced to retool its

David Banner and Big K.R.I.T. team up for "My Uzi." This is the first single off Banner's upcoming studio album, The God Box.  Banner and K.R.I.T. keep it real on his latest cut, rapping about staying true to the grind despite hardships. They eve...

Blu drops a new track titled "Thriller" featuring Sene, Definite and Cashus King. This new track is four minutes of lyrical madness. The West Coast spitta is clearly still capable of dropping bombs, calling on Sene, Def and Co$$ to set the track off with expressive rhymes of their own...

Yo Gotti calls on Young Thug for a new track, "Rihanna. " There's always room for more club bangers, and this new offering does not disappoint. Gotti has found his leading lady and she's fine like the baddest in hip-hop. He's all about flexing in the club and spending racks, so long as he's got his beautiful woman on his arm...

By now, it's no secret that Gucci Mane has remained prolific while behind bars (thanks in no small part to his exceptional team). In addition to a slew of mixtapes and EPs, the stylistic pioneer has collaborated with buzzing artists like New Jersey native and 2015 XXL Freshman Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" remix...
