Posted by Grubeats on October 6, 2011
The Dean’s List have been heavy on their grind recently. Although we haven’t had much music to show, they’ve got a couple new videos and been busy jumping around on their nationwide Pledge To Rage tour. FTS Creative, who has been making huge moves lately, recording videos with XV, The Dean’s List, Waka Flocka, & more, have been following Sonny, Mendoza, & Mik on the road. Above is the first episode off their new #BreakfastTalk viral series that will focus primarily on tour life.

Mac Miller’s unofficially official fan site, MacMiller.org has been running a series this week, releasing a rare Mac track each day. Today, they promised that if @pitpanther01 could reach 2,000 followers, he would deliver the newest installment. Here’s what he had to say about the track.
“During the summer of 2010 Mac Miller hoped on the remix to Phresh Muney’s single “Regular Guy” to create the MostDope Mix. A pretty dope and chill song that Mac kills.”

The Windy City’s own, Common, dropped the first single off his 9th studio album (yes, 9th). As always, the established vet delivers refreshingly crisp lyrics that always reel me back into his music. It’s amazing after all these years, Common has never sold out or changed for the worse. One of the realist and most consistent artists in the game. Production from No I.D. gives this track a launchpad for success. The Dreamer, The Believer, dropping November 22nd, so be sure to stay up with Common.

Hip-Hop | Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera & Mac Miller – Moves Like Jagger (Remix)
Posted by Grubeats on September 29, 2011
You know life is good when you’re 19 years old and the band holding the number one song in the country is asking you to hop on a remix. When Mac first publicly announced he would be appearing on Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera’s remix to “Moves Like Jagger”, the song was at the #2 spot on the Billboard charts. Since, the song has climbed to #1 overall just in time for Mac to lay down his ever so witty vocals. Take a listen and know Mac Miller is coming for you whether you like it or not.

In other news, Mac has launched one of the most unique album release proposal in the history of hip-hop. While Mac is still only signed to his indy label, Rostrum Records, he’s got some freedom to do really, well, whatever the hell he wants. Mac took to his social networks to announce that he will release his album the moment his pre-sales reach 100,000, regardless of whether that comes before the previous release date of November 8th. With that, at 25,000 pre-sales, Mac Miller release the title track, “Blue Slide Park” and at 50,000 he will donate $50,000 to charity. Pretty clever if you ask me. So go ahead and pre-order your copy of Blue Slide Park HERE ON ITUNES.

Hip-Hop, Pop | Hip-Hop: Lupe Fiasco, Mac Miller, Casey Veggies, Mann, Aziz, Chiddy

Lead singer & songwriter for Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump, recently hit the booth with Lupe Fiasco to create what has potential to be Chi town’s new anthem. Both putting on for their city, this video represents the windy city well and gives every Chicago-an(?) something to be proud of. Chicago is not the only thing Lupe is publicly passionate about. The politically controversial MC recently joined a Wall Street protest prior to shared his beliefs on the current economic condition and New World Order [read up on that here].

In lieu of reaching 900,000 follower’s on Twitter, @MacMiller dropped a new track titled “Willie Dynamite” in part of his ‘Road 2 A Million Followers’. Young Macintosh keeps his pimp hand strong, dedicating this track to the 1974 flick famous pimp, Willie Dynamite. Produced by Big Jerm, Mac keep’s it it true to his style with catchy yet insightful lyrics and even drops an autotuned bar for the K.I.D.S. Blue Slide Park coming November 8th!

Casey Veggies, who will be accompanying Mac on tour, also dropped his debut album, Sleeping In Class, today on iTunes. I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, but I’ll update you all with the best cuts once I have a chance to do so. For now, here’s the highly anticipated track off the project, featuring none other than the young Mac himself.

My favorite 5 1/2′ west coast cat daddy, Mann, dropped a nice new laid back bubbler track. It’s been hit or miss with Mann, but the #BirthdayGang chief keeps it shaded up on this nice and easy beat, leaving us with a new track to chill to.
Download: Mann – Shaded Up Chillin
Since the recent release of his junior mixtape, Daydreams of A Spaceshot, my boy Aziz has dropped a few bonus tracks that didn’t make the tape. This is not the typical sound we’ve grown accustomed to from Zig Zag, but I.L.O Productions flips the Yukon Blonde track for a smooth, slightly poppy track. Sounds a bit like something we’d hear from Wiz, but I’m feeling this joint from Aziz.

I feel guilty posting this in a hip-hop update, but it didn’t deserve it’s own post, so here it is anyways. VV Brown scooped Chiddy (of Chiddy Bang) for a verse off her newest pop hit, “Children (Keep On Singing)”. Settle down, it’s not really the ice cream truck…
