Gibbs keeps it thoroughly old school on this new cut, and brings along a few of ESGN's guests to finesse 3X Krazy's vintage gem with. The southern cowbell hits the sweet spot while Gibbs rocks his signature rat-tat-tat flow, and, for some reason, the 1989 World Series gets its low quality on for...
Eminem had a pretty big week, in case you didn't hear about it. He not only notched his seventh consecutive Billboard #1 with MMLP2, debuting with 792,000 in sales, but he also became the first artist since The Beatles to have four singles in the Billboard Top 20. On top of all that, Marshall's...
Over a Statik Selektah beat to reminisce to, Bronson, Ea$y Money, and Styles P show the world what they've got. A pair of choice '90s samples on the hook give us Nas and Big L, listing a few of their possessions, sandwiching Ea$y Money's claims of having some things beyond the physical: "I got...

The impossibly dark Raider Klan, populated by SpaceGhostPurrp, Denzel Curry, Amber London, Yung Simmie, and Ethel Wulf, has just released their official album, Tales From The Underground. If you have an taste for bottomless pits of molasses-thick bass and a hellfire of hi-hats, check this tape...
The visuals for Chris Cartier's "The Flame" are crisp, immediate, and threatening--much like the MC's flow and delivery. Over a death march of a beat, Chris stunts to the max, bragging all the usual brags with a vicious urgency that keeps the listener around through the entire madhouse video. Enjoy...
The piano is gorgeous, but nothing's pretty about the scene Archie Bang paints on "Rewind." Set to be on his upcoming LP, Never Say Die Vol. 1 (80'sBabies), this track harkens heavily back to the '90s, from the boom-bap, to the sample of Mobb Deep's "The Start of Your Ending," to the simultaneous...
Now rolling with the one-word moniker, eXquire dropped a dark video to match the seedy and sexual "Cherry Raindrops." eX's thick flow rolls over an ominously somber beat, bringing us through a story he sums nicely in his closing words "perfect couple; bad timing."
