XV gives us a visual treatment for his take on Drake’s “The Motto”.  Keeping it real for his Squarians while on his “Midwest State of Mind” tour, Vizzy delivers 7 traits of L7 (make an “L” and a “7” with your hands, flip them and put them together, you’ve got a square– you’re a Squarian).

DMX goes bonkers on this beat, emphasizing the fact he stays gangsta in the club, swaying to the beat.  Recruiting Bad Boy’s hard spitting white boy, MGK, who I think was star struck by the fact his all time favorite Ruff Rider had put him on a track.  This track will likely be on DMX’s upcoming project, Undisputed.  

Kid Ink keeps pumping out the new free music as his recent track, “Time Of My Life”, off his debut album Up & Away keeps crawling up the iTunes charts.  Doing what he does best, The Alumni takes Kirko Bangz track “Drank In My Cup” and flips it to be more environmentally sustainable, if you know what I mean.

Still hot off his Boston Lights mixtape, here are dope visuals to Moufy’s track, Throw My 3’s. Shot in a Boston U frat, the video takes you through a typical day with #StarGang.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Machine Gun Kelly – #RagePack (Mixtape)

Posted by on October 17, 2011

Apologies for the delay posting this.  MGK dropped his first mixtape under his new label, Bad Boy Records, last friday, and first since his project, Lace Up.  Personally, I liked Lace Upbetter, but MGK always seems to grow on my over time, so we’ll see if that stands.  Kells turns to his rockstar image for the majority of this track, as the title is very suggestive.  MGK picked up some nice features from Posner, Waka Flocka, & Livvi Franc, along with a voicemail interlude from the Bad Boy himself, Diddy.  Although I’m not initially feeling it as much as #LaceUp, I still highly suggest downloading the full project.  Dubstep and electro fans who dabble with lyrics over the beat may just fall in love with a couple track on here.

DO SOMETHING

Hip-Hop | Jay Electronica – Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 3)

Posted by on October 13, 2011

Jay Electronica took the hip-hop world by storm a couple years ago when he dropped “Exhibit C”.  You would have thought Biggie resurrected from his grave (which in a way he later did when Jay dropped “The Ghost Of Christopher Wallace”).  Since then, Jay has hit us with a couple more powerful tracks, “Shiny Suit Theory ft. Jay Z & The-Dream” & “The Announcement”, along with some nice features.  Other than those, Elec has been rather quiet which has had fans wondering what the New Orleans native has been up to.

After speculations were flying that Jay would sign to Diddy’s label, Bad Boy Records, after they released “The Ghost Of Christopher Wallace”, Elec turned and signed with the competition, Jay-Z, at Roc Nation.  As Jay-Z said about J. Cole, he is in no position to rush artists, but rather give them time to build.  Apparently he has the same game plan for Jay Elec as this single, “Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 3)” will be the first off his debut LP album,  Act II: Patents of Nobility, which may or may not drop this year.  The song features production from Young Guru and a spot from Havoc & Prodigy aka Mobb Deep.

As you can see above, there apparently is some unsettled beef between Jay and Diddy, as he took to his Twitter to send warning shots to the Bad Boy squad.  I’d presume this is the first major threat MGK has received since signing to Bad Boy earlier this year.  Personally, I don’t think MGK will do anything and Diddy isn’t the “bad boy” he once was, so I don’t really see this going anywhere.
