Read moreFresh off his “Divided Soul” EP, Nutso returns with his signature flow and his penchant for penning clever rhymes over this inventive Beatminerz’ chop of a classic breakbeat. DJ Evil Dee and Mr. Walt bring a reworked, yet familiar feel as Nutso takes you on another crazy journey involving his shenanigans through the streets of New York, full of comedy mixed with real life experiences. The lyrics weave in out as Nutso acts as a virtual tour guide for native New Yorkers and those less familiar with the “city that never sleeps.” Prepare as this latest single from the Q-Borough’s finest is guaranteed to induce insomnia.
Read morePart 2 of our interview with Game upon the release of “The Documentary 2.” Watch as Game explores the difference between L.A. and New York rap, then and now. The Game dropped his long-awaited sixth studio album, The Documentary 2, today, and in conjunction with the release, we present the second part of our “Documentary 2” interview series, in which Game situates the album within the canon of L.A. gangsta rap. Whereas New York might be the “mecca” of hip-hop, Game says L.A., and specifically Compton, is the birthplace of gangsta rap. And, today, L.A. rap is still thriving because guys like Kendrick (and himself) are still rapping with the same no-holds-barred attitude as when N.W.A. first said, “Fuck tha Police.” “The number one reason L.A. rap has flourished is because, from the beginning, we never had filters. We never gave a fuck about what was politically correct…Snoop taught the world how to crip walk, I taught ’em how to blood bounce, and we never gave a fuck who didn’t like it.” He went on to say that, when he first started rapping, people thought he was from New York, due to his focus on lyricism. Since, Game thinks he has paved the way for some of the world’s best L.A.-bred lyricists, including Kendrick Lamar. The rest of the country is still waiting for a worthy competitor to emerge out of NYC, says Game, as the “mecca” hasn’t produced a top-quality artist in quite awhile. He mentions French Montana, but

Read moreDavid Banner gave yet another insightful interview as he sat down with DJ Smallz and reflected on his lectures, which strive to bring consciousness back to the youth. The Mississippi artist also shared his thoughts on Black culture, including why he believes that the “American Dream” was never meant for Black people. “It was never meant for us to be a part of it. We chased it so hard that we put our children in front of the television…which was programed to make them feel like they were less than human. You wonder why kids want to be thieves, that’s all they ever saw on television for the most part.” The “Get Like Me” emcee also shared his thoughts on why he came back to rap, telling DJ Smallz that a lot of the rappers with a message left the game due to album sales dipping. He added, “We left these kids alone. And as much as they say they want money, you know what they want even more? It’s your time.” Check out more of what David Banner had to say in the above clip.
