Read moreWest Coast artist Nocando is back with a new loosie called “Last Man Standing”. It is produced by Great Dane. “The 1st verse and chorus of this song was written for a certain hip hop legend in some writing sessions I was in last year. When I wrote this I was really thinking about Apocalypse in the age of Apocalypse arc in the X-Men Comics. Some one who has existed through many different eras and climates and swears by survival of the fittest. Being the narcissistic artist that I am I turn around and made it all about me ahahahahahahaha!!!! jk. Enjoy.” – Nocando
Read moreThe dynamic duo; The Game and DJ Skee reunite for the release of “The Documentary 2” on SKEE TV. Game explains why he decided to release ‘The Documentary 2’ in two parts; a blue and a red disc. “I want to help unify and break the color lines… if I can save a life or two, I want to try and do that.”He talks about making about 700 songs in the process of creating this two-disc album, which consists of 38 tracks. He recalls showing Dr. Dre 20 tracks and Dre telling him they were all trash. Game tells us the difference between disc one and two, and notes that Dre said “if I could re-do ‘The Chronic’, I would make it sound more like disc one.” Being that it seems The Game is always involved in alleged beefs, most recently with Young Thug, he took the time to address and clear up each rumored beef.

Read moreWhen it comes to Hip-Hop, there’s something special about a project crafted by a duo. They’re typically tighter listens with a sharp focus and sense of cohesion. Those qualities are apparent throughout the latest EP from Dirt Disciples, aka the New York tag-team of rapper Rome Clientel and producer DJ Concept. Their new project, “The Ambition” EP, proves the old adage of “less is more” true on multiple levels, because these two know you don’t need an hour’s worth of content to get a point across. You may have already known that if you heard their ill self-titled 2014 EP, and they’re not shying away from the short-but-dope approach on here. The EP’s seven tracks glide by with ease, making for a listen that’s equally smooth and rugged. That goes for when Rome’s alone on the mic, particularly on standout “Rosetta Stone,” or joined by fellow underground bruisers like Torae, Chuuwee, and Rick Gonzalez (the latter two appear on single “Life is Good”). “The Ambition” EP is Hip-Hop in its purest form, from Rome’s confident and refined rhymes to Concept’s dusty and looping instrumentals. Here’s hoping they’ll keep their yearly releases going into 2016, because they’re only getting better with age.
