On the DJ Burn One-produced “Paradise,” Rittz dreams of Detroit-engineered machinery floating away from dead-end jobs and missed opportunities. Heaven is the lost city of Atlanta, with long stretches of [...]

Curren$y will rip any and all production, original or not. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the MC had his own version of Wu’s classic, “C.R.E.A.M.,” stashed away [...]

Usually an Exile appearance in the artist category finds him contributing solely on the production front. Things have apparently changed on “Oh Word (Keep On Rising)” as he dusted off [...]

Spitta must get an itch if he goes too long without releasing new music. After dropping four projects last year, it took the New Orleans workhorse only one month into [...]

When Slim Shady returned from a prescription-pill-induced absence back in May of 2009, the Hip-Hop world welcomed the always outspoken icon back with open arms. Then, when he donned the [...]

Here’s the latest single from Nina Sky. I had no idea they were still making music, but they are. This song isn’t bad, as the beat (produced by Beau Valis) sounds like a Timbaland beat. Their LP Nicole & Natalie will be release in July.
