Everyone knew this was coming. Posting 32,000+ Facebook fans and nearly 20,000 Twitter followers to close out the year, Timeflies seems to have everyone from Tufts to the homies in Whooville to grandma’s at the bingo hall rocking out to this fresh new track. What can’t they do?

If you’re still trying to decipher the words that came out of young Khaliyl’s mouth, stop. The kid’s only two. I’m sure if he knew how to talk, he would be rolling the ABC’s of rap off his little British tongue. He’s definitely got the body language of rap down and he bobs with the beat. If Tinie Tempah doesn’t sign this kid, Jay-Z better.
In other news, “DANGERRRRR, WATCH YO’SELF,” Mystikal is back and he brought his friend vengeance . Is it just me or is this close to vintage? Just when I thought he had packed his bags, he inks a new deal with Cash Money and debuts this brand new record. Thank you Weezy?

The fifth track off Roscoe Dash’s debut EP, “J.U.I.C.E.” which is set for a a December 20th release. Roscoe & Wale saw unparalleled success with their collab on “No Hands” in which they were both featured on Waka Flocka’s hit track, so once again they link up to deliver an early morning club hit.The second Wale track is a freestyle he did with fellow DMV artist, Black Cobain, who he recently revealed in an interview was one of his favorite up and coming artists. Personally I’ve thought Tyga’s “Rack City” was overhyped and I never really saw the appeal, but clearly the masses think otherwise.

After giving us a new track just a few days ago, Vizzy cuts the lock on another one, this time produced by The Awesome Sound. XV was in the studio with Drama Beats earlier this week and although this track isn’t produced by Drama himself, he’s dedicating it to his #youngandreckless Squarians.

The overwhelming realization that Mystikal still had it nearly knocked me unconscious and when I heard Ashanti was back as well, I almost broke out my Discman and $10 Sony headphones to bring me back to the good-ole-days. Sadly I don’t think we’ll ever hear the Ashanti we grew accustomed to hearing back in the late 90’s and early 00’s, but for a comeback, this isn’t terrible. Her larynx appears to still be in tact and Busta picks up the slack to make this a decent track. Pardon the quality, I’ll share the CDQ once I find it if you’d like.

It’s not everyday you’ll find a smokeshow spitting bars faster than that dude from your high school who thinks he’s a rapper. I’ll be honest, Bailee Moore, may need some work behind the mic, but when you’re as smoke as she is, it’s hard to fail. The Cleveland chick claims this to be her first rap ever and if that’s the case, she may have potential. So what are my FNT faithfuls thinking about this chick? Is she the next Chanel aka CC (Fantasy Factory’s Rapping Receptionist) — drop a few freestyles then get picked up by Maxim? Or does she actually have musical talent?

One of the fan favorites off Logic’s recent mixtape, Young Sinatra, here is the live footage of the Maryland MC killing it live on the air at WMUC 88.1 FM, University of Maryland. This is by far one of the rawest tracks off the tape as Logic puts on a clinic for any artist wondering how to lyrically annihilate a beat. As the beat loops, Logic’s confidence builds, giving hip-hop heads a breath of fresh air. If you haven’t yet, be sure to download the full project, Young Sinatra, below.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | YONAS – Time Is Now (’09 Freestyle)
Posted by Grubeats on November 29, 2011
YONAS, YONAS, YONAS, stop killin’ em! “Y/O” recently came across this old freestyle from back in 2009 that he decided to release to the fans. Some artists are born with a gift, YONAS is one of those artists. With an ability to compose meaningful music, YONAS’ resume is longer than most of you probably expect. While his name is just beginning to really catch wind, his music stretches back over the last 3 or 4 years…and it’s all good.
“Now n***** gettin’ signed and they ain’t got a buzz, if it got a buzz they don’t do it for the love, if they do it for the love it won’t fit up in the club, this is where the whole game got f’d up, the psychology is to get the dollar to jump, but every dollar we get we give out honesty up” – YONAS

Ok, this is something that needs to be discussed. This is not the first time we’ve seen Justin Bieber go in. While some people are fretting over the 20-year old broad’s claims that she got Bieber’s seed, the young floppy haired pop star is spitting flames on live radio and more importantly, impressing the shit out of people. So my question to you is, can Justin Bieber really rap and will he have a career in hip-hop? Sound off in the comments section!
