Lil Wayne - Off Off Off

This song dropped during the NBA Finals and afterwards the Cavs and King James came back and won the series. I'm wondering if this song had anything to do with the success..... maybe!

Hot song from Cassie featuring Wiz Khalifa.  I like the beat its nice and chill.  Cassie repping Cali with Wiz very well, good hook and Wiz goes in pretty good, check it!

Dr. Dre is "Under Pressure"

Hey people you still there? To those who have e-mailed me I have fallen behind thanks to work and I apologize.  I appreciate all the artists who have sent me music, and I'm in the process of going through those e-mails still along with weeding out some spam.  This track that Dr. Dre let go a few days ago is how I've been feeling, but the problem is I'm not feeling this track.  Now I have waited on releasing news on many topics but I had to touch this one.  For all the time we have waited this track overall just doesn't have us moving like how we thought we would.  Could we have put too much anticipation on this track? probably and why not, after waiting nearly a decade for this album to drop we get this, a watered down commercialized non west coast rap track.  Oh and since I've rambled on for some and told the truth for others, isn't it funny that after this soft release by the aftermath camp and neutral vibe, we get people from there saying that the track is unfinished and a lot more needs to be done?  I thought our Hip Hop icon and super perfectionist would've already had this done by now...

Wiz Khalifa - Goodbye

Wiz Khalifa is fire and if you don't agree check this track out.  On this song we get a quick beat with that signature techno sound that everyone has these days, and we get a good hook from Wiz showing us that we shouldn't sleep on this young guy...

Drake featuring Jay-Z = Light Up

After that Tony Yayo track I think it is fair for me to put something that is a zillion times better than that garbage.  I usually don't diss music that harshly but when you have high expectations like they do, c'mon!  Any how let's get to this chill track with a beat that rides, and allows both artists to show there creative ability.  Personally I can't figure out who did better on this, but I'm happy I get a chance to listen to a track that will be an instant classic...

Tony Yayo: Pass The Patron

The one and only reason I'm posting this song up is because it is horrendous.  I support music I enjoy but this weak attempt with 50 Cent, and Tony Yayo has me wondering what the direction of G-Unit is now.  We all know Lloyd Banks has had the summer song of the year so far with Beamer, Benz, or Bentley but you have to ask yourself why drop this.  Anyways check it out and any hate is understandable...

Eminem - I'm Not Afraid

The single came out a few days if not a week ago (I don't remember when), but the beat is sick and the lyrics are sicker.  Here ya go peeps...

B.o.B. - Bet I

A #1 album and some of the hottest singles on billboard is a success in my opinion.  Our man from the ATL, B.o.B. has got himself 80+k copies of his album sold and will probably have the hottest album of the year if Drake, Eminem, and T.I. don't step there game up...  Oh and did I forget another new single on its way with a video already...

B.o.B. feat Eminem - Airplanes pt 2

Instead classic right here need I say more?  The beat for this track is on point, the hook has a melody, and the rhymes are too sick to repeat.  If you don't believe me check it out on HipHopDx yourself...

Qwestions West = Interview + Mixtape

 I know it's been a while since I posted on a featured artist but today I have one that everyone should check out.  Qwestions West is a young rapper from the Midwest and has a lot of promise for the future.  With this interview there is also a mixtape download link where you can get the mixtape free.  Ladies & Gentlemen I present to you an interview with Qwestions...

Where are you from?
I'm from the southside of Chicago.

What does the name Qwestions mean?
The name Qwestions is a nickname I got growing up. Its taking my first name initial "Q" and my last name "West" with the "ions" at the end. I got this name from a friend back in like 7th grade for asking too many questions, I just fell in love with it.

How long have you been rapping?

Man...as far as I know I wrote my first song at 8 years old. I still had the lyrics until just recently lol I cant find it now. I stopped writing and rhyming around 12 and got back at it around 14-15. Its just been non stop every since.

Tell us about this mixtape, what can we expect?

On my mixtape As Of Write Now I wanted to make people feel like they were listening to an album. The flow of the project, and the overall tone that is kept through out it and the quality of the songs I wrote keeps it from being an average mixtape in my eyes. If anybody was ever doubting me lyrically or creatively this mixtape will make them all believers I guarantee it.

What is your inspiration to rap?

My inspiration is the world around me. I love watching the world as things happen and how I and or other people react to things. I'm also inspired by my own personal life. I feel like my life is interesting enough to talk about a little bit lol, I like being able to let people into my world.

Who are you listening to right now?

Right now I'm bumping a lot of Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, and J. Cole. I listen to other stuff but these 3 get heavy rotation on my iTunes. The only other people getting a lot of play over here is my Conscious Productionz family.

What do you feel is the state of Hip Hop now?

I feel like Hip Hop, just like any other way of life, it has many different faces. Right now the mainstream side of Hip Hop is showing us something new. I do think its coming back around to the lyrics though. A lot of the newer breed of emcees are very lyrical and its refreshing. Things change from time to time so if we love Hip Hop the way everyone says they do they will embrace these changes until things look they way they would prefer.

What are some of your upcoming projects?

Right now I'm working on another mixtape that I will be dropping in April hopefully, and my album which will be dropping this summer.

Any words you want to leave readers?

I just want the readers to know I'm just making music from my heart. I hope they like the music enough to want to support me.

Lloyd Banks - Beamer, Benz, or Bentley (Behind The Scenes VIDEO)

So Lloyd Banks is blowing up again and this time it's a street single that has blazed up the internet like crazy.  With all the easy access to technology remixes on this beat have been outrageous.  Let's hope for some success for this G-Unit rapper as he has always been the most lyrical out of his group.  One question though, who is going to be pressing his album?

T.I. IS FREE!!!

It's been a while since we got a featured interview from T.I. in the blogosphere, and finally we get some music with a few words about a new album.  Here is the new song T.I. released Monday along with some news articles for fans to read:

B.G. feat Magnolia Chop - Back to the Money (Video)

If you think I have forgot about this blog you got me mistaken.  It has taken me some time because of my busy schedule but I continue to receive e-mails, and artists requests daily which I will go through on a timely basis.  With that said here is B.G. with a new single called "Back to the Money" and it has a nice guest spot with one of my favorite rappers...

Usher - Hey Daddy (Video)

I remember at one point Usher used to be the one and now it seems like others have taken that spot.  Now as a veteran in the Hip Hop/R&B scene the music that Usher has should be more mature.  Here he is trying to keep it commercial yet I don't know if it will keep him popular.  This song is a nice song and sounds like something The Dream would pen up.  Let's hope Usher doesn't fall completely off the map...

Kardinal Offishall - We Gon Go (Video)

This track right here is a little different than what I would usually listen to but I like the video concept, and the lyrics.  Kardinal Offishall has himself a nice throwback beat with a flow that compliments the track very well.  Check it out and get ready for a new mixtape for Monday...

Tony Yayo - King of the Pyrex (Video)

No this is not G-Unit, Interscope, Aftermath News I just wanted to get a few weeks of stuff out of the way.  This track here is only on because I thought it wasn't too bad by Tony Yayo.  To honestly tell you the truth, if Yayo is really dealing with drugs he does a good job of keeping himself out of any incriminating shots, but still doesn't help himself out if he is who he says he is.  Anyways we all know in Hip Hop those who were are usually not, and so I wouldn't be too concerned about what Yayo is doing.  Check out the track and let me know what ya think...

Lloyd Banks feat Juelz Santana - Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley

Lloyd Banks has a new song out and it ain't too bad but I really don't feel it's a hot first single.  New York might bump this since it has Juelz from Dipset and a G-Unit soldier, but honestly the time for both these rappers is done.  Now when it comes to lyrics both these men might be good at what they do, but they have lost the commercial appeal they could've had or once had.  Anyways check this song out if you get a chance...
