Cassidy, the Philadelphia rapper who has been pretty much missing for the past few months, is back. With a new track; which is actually pretty hot. Give it a listen, anyway…

The beat is from Terminate On Sight, more specifically from the track “Party Aint Over” - I think Cass actually did better than the Unit on …

I’m from the UK and I’ve never heard of this dude, but British MC Dap-C from Newcastle just hooked up with some of the hottest artists in the game right now and created this monster of a track. They all killed it, especially Royce and Talib. Royce even threw a couple light shots at Wayne…

The track …

Fresh from the studio, Buck went off on this one. Tight beat, too. He’s been dropping consistent fire since he left the Unit; could this be Buck’s time to rise to the top of the game?

The track features Larry Davis, but we’re not sure who produced this.

Buck Bargains…

A track from Lupe Fiasco’s third studio album, LupeEND was just demoed at one of his gigs. It’s hard to really get a feel for the beat from the poor sound quality, but he had a few tight lines from what I could hear.

LupeEND is due for release …

The first track has leaked from the highly anticipated Blueprint 3; initial rumors suggested the album would be entirely produced by Timbaland - though Jay cleared this up and said he would be working mostly with ‘Ye - not surprising considering the amount of time the two have been spending together …

Over the past week three new tracks from West Coast heavyweight The Game surfaced; Toy Soldiers, Camera Phone (ft. Ne-Yo) and Superman. All three tracks are fairly strong and all but one of the tracks are confirmed to be on his third and final album, L.A.X, aka Los Angele’s Times.

First up is Toy Soldiers; the track is produced by an …

Watch out for Kano’s third major album, 140 Grime St.

Here we have a freshly leaked track from Game’s upcoming and final album, LAX. The track was produced by Cool & Dre, and we have to say, it’s fiyahhhh. One of the best Game tracks we’ve heard in recent times. Listen to the …

We all saw it coming, but Wayne’s number #1 album The Carter 3 has finally been knocked off the top spot by Nas’ latest album, Untitled.

The album shifted 187,078 copies in its debuting week, which does not compare to Lil’ Waynes million sold in the first week, but considering Nas had no commercial heavy hitting chart topping singles (bar Hero, …

Kano is no stranger to the UK hip-hop/grime scene, though he’s still not seen the huge success of the likes of Dizzee Rascal and The Streets - and we’re not sure why. Not only has his continuously brought us fire through his unique and ever changing flow, he’s improved on every one of his albums and mixtapes.

Now he’s back with …

Last night was Jay-Z’s Manchester show (part of his UK ROCnation tour) and we, living in Manchester, decided to attend. We’re so glad we did. Not only did Mark Ronson bring Rhymefest (who totally killed his set), Hov brought out non other than Kanye West.

It was only 8 …

It’s the album the hip-hop community has been desperate to get their hands on; Nas’ eighth (or ninth) studio album is finally here. The tracklist we previously reported was 100% correct, so no surprises are in store for those of you who thought that this album would …

Here’s a fresh new Busta Rhymes track which leaked late yesterday; it features a dope appearance from Ludacris, and an average one from Weezy. Overall, it’s a solid track, and will most likely be on Busta’s upcoming album Blessed.

Blessed is due for release this August.

Nas has signed a one year endorsement deal with South Korea’s largest sportswear manufacturing company, Fila. In exchange for Nas wearing the latest Fila products, the company will be providing financial support for additional advertising campaigns for Nas’ upcoming album Untitled.

Additionally, and more excitingly, Nas will also co-create a new line of Fila street wear inspired by late-80’s fashion.

“My …

Everyone is watching the beef between Buck and 50 lately, but they’re missing out on all of the good shit that’s been dropping in between; take this mixtape for example - it’s one of the illest tapes we’ve heard in the …

Today Paul Rosenberg, head of Shady Records and manager of Eminem, made a brief statement regarding Obie’s departure following the news we broke a few days ago.
“Shady Records has agreed to allow Obie Trice to pursue his craft in a different forum free from the constraints of the current major label model,” though “Eminem will continue …

Well, what do you know… It turns out our anonymous tipster was right! As our source told us earlier this week, it appears that Obie Trice has been dropped from Shady/Interscope and is now a free agent.

We’re working hard to get more details on this, but for now, check out the track below…

Feels good for …

Glastonbury headliner Jay-Z took the stage last night and performed in front of over 100,000 people - and he opend up with a sly shot to Noel Gallagher, who stated that it was a disgrace that Hip-Hop was being played at Glastonbury. The entire set by Jay was amazing, with his live band mixing in classic rock riffs in to …

We’re not sure what happened over the past day or so, but a hurricane of new Nas information, along with two new joints, has leaked.

The first new leaked track is entitled “Sly Fox” and is produced by Stic.man (of rap group Dead Prez) - the track has Nas firing off at the Fox news network, “propaganda, visual cancer” Nas …

This is a fresh interview with Hov which aired last night in the UK. The hip-hop juggernaut was interviewed by celebrity host Jonathon Ross on his show, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. Jay speaks on his controversial position as the headliner of Glastonbury, married life with Beyonce, and a …

It’s been over 7 years since Dr Dre’s last album dropped, and we’ve been anticipating Detox for almost 5. It’s been a bumpy ride, but it looks like we’re finally going to see the doctors latest creation this year; at least according to Snoop. He was caught leaving a studio where he had apparently recorded a verse for Dre, and …

Early this morning we received an email from an anonymous tipster who is claiming to be close friends with Shady/Aftermath artist Bishop Lamont, and word has it that labelmate Obie Trice (signed to Shady/Interscope) has been dropped off of the label for unknown reasons.

Obie was suppose to be releasing his third album Bottom’s Up this year.

Our source says that Obie …

After last weeks controversy and hate over Kanye’s late performance at the Bonnaroo festival, Kanye has finally stepped up and responded via his blog.

If you’ve not been keeping up with the news lately, in brief: Kanye was suppose to be performing at 2.45am but did not emerge on stage until 4.25am. This was partly due to Pearl Jam extending their …

Honestly, how kick ass does this thing look? Fresh from the Blacksmith camp, Mick Boogie & Talib Kweli are joined by Strong Arm Steady, Jean Grae, Busta Rhymes and Idle Warship for a mixtape of epic proportions.

This is a limited edition version of the mixtape, which features the awesome …

“Now cats really, really want to hear you spit man.”
“I don’t even know how to rap… You want me to spit?”
Yeah, he really doesn’t know how to freestyle by the look of this. Funny as hell. I guess once he goes crazy after the first part, it aint that bad, but still…

We don’t usually post much about artists and such but I had to mention this new track (if you haven’t heard it already). Today Buck released a new track titled “My Interview” in which he responds to all of the comments Fif has been making over the past month or …

This video has been going around the interwebs for around a month now, but despite that a lot of people still haven’t seen this classic footage. Basically, it shows a bunch of tourists filming when suddenly, along comes Busta Rhymes. They ask Busta for a photograph, but as he is on his way to the bathroom, he ignores them for a moment. This results in some woman calling him ignorant, which in turn makes Busta beat her down (not literally). The stupid British woman did deserve what she got though, I have to admit. I’m British and really, I hate that dumb chick. Video after the jump.

The moment I heard about this DVD (about six months ago now) I was patiently waiting. Waiting, and waiting; I started believing it would never ever be here (like Dre with Detox). But nope; it’s here! I just received mine in the post last week and I am so happy this was released. …

Ladies and gentleman, without further a do… This is without a doubt the mixtape of the month, if not year.

The hotly anticipated The Clipse mixtape, We got it for cheap volume 3, is finally here.

Hell yes! They come back with pure fire, this time bringing the Re-Up gang …
