Listen Up: "Boss N*gga" By Juicy J

With his return to the spotlight, Juicy J has been shooting more toward the vein of club bangers to keep himself going, which is fine, as he's always touched on that piece of the scope, but for this latest track, "Boss N*gga," we find him returning more toward the Triple Six sounds of old, topic and instrumental included. The string-run heater features some work by familiar cohort Crazy Mike, and even holds down a "mafia" chant dating back to Three 6 Mafia's "Are You Ready 4 Us" from their 1998 album, Chapter 2: World Domination (the chant was on other tracks as well, but this is the one that comes to mind). His "Yeah, ho" chant that was revived in the same manner has become a trademark of his new work, and it comes from the same Mafia days, but it's interesting he pulled out the "mafia" chant given he doesn't associate too much anymore with his fellow Memphis fa...

Five Years Later, Birdman And Rick Ross Confirm 'H' Album

Well, some star tattoos on the skull, seizures, assassination attempts, and a few hits later, and looks like Birdman and Rick Ross are finally going to put together their joint album, H, that was supposed to appear back in '08. Why--I'm not sure, but such is the word that they shared in an interview while on the set of DJ Khaled's "No New Friends" video shoot. You can catch the full interview below, but I would like to express why I'm remaining dubious over if this will ever actually happed: one, Birdman doesn't follow up on anything he actually says he is going to do anymore; two, he's busy doing (supposedly) the Like Father, Like Son sequel with Weezy; three, he's doing a Big Tymers album. As for Ross, he's keeping his chubby fingers in everything, managing all the projects his Maybach crew is set to put out, which comes out to about 7 or 8 for the year, as...

Mannie Fresh Calls New Big Tymers Album "Like Doing A Jackson 5 Album With Boyz II Men"

So, I don't exactly know what to take from Mannie Fresh's comment listed in the title, but whatever--people will describe things as they choose to, and it's probably not worth it to judge things ahead of time. We heard shortly ago that Wayne, Birdman and company were going to put together a Big Tymers album, as well that Drake was going to be included as a new inductee in the crew; turns out there's truth there, as the trio showed off a bit on the set of DJ Khaled’s “No New Friends." Likewise, Mannie Fresh shared some words with MTV RapFix: "It’s kinda like doing a Jackson 5 album with Boyz II Men. Two different eras, great artists, but Boyz II Men is not the Jackson 5. I don’t bash Cash

Listen Up: The Weeknd Drops "Kiss Land/John Carpenter" From New Album 'Kiss Land'

We caught a preview of the track "John Carpenter" not more than a moment ago, and though his sophomore album Kiss Land doesn't have too much cement to it yet, The Weeknd decided to liberate the full version of his single, preceded by the title track "Kiss Land" in what can best be described as an 8 minute ode to lust in the usual creative ilk we find him in. As was said, the track combination is over 8 minutes long, and carries, despite moments of morose topics, a slightly more "poppier" sound (I couldn't think of a better adjective) than what we caught from last year's mixatape trilogy and album. It's promising as one would expect, and shows that the Canadian Codeine Crooner is still going forward with his style. Like I said, Kiss Land doesn't have too many details to it, but we're in no rush over here, so, for now, hit up "Kiss Land/John Carpenter,"...

Watch This: "Bible On The Dash" Music Video By Gunplay

In case you haven't noticed, the frequency of media coverage Gunplay has been getting is boosting up quite a bit, and for good reason, as he's finally getting some of the spotlight he deserves (don't try to count the whole prison sentence bit, because that's passed). Sure, he doesn't cross far beyond the border of crack-to-riches drug kingpin-themed rap, but the guy knows how to do it well, and proves, asinine as he can be, that he's got artistic direction. For the latest offering while we wait for his Def Jam debut album, we've got a new set of visuals, that being for his 601 & Snort mixtape single "Bible On The Dash" that, while sticking on familiar themes, shows us some depth beyond his usual Miami don style. It's nothing fancy--the beginning is actually pretty lame--but does what it does. Gunplay is on a solid streak, and I wouldn't expect things to sl...
