Legendary emcee and member of The LOX Styles P is putting in more work than some of your favorite new artists this year. Following G-Host and Beloved (the latter alongside Dave East), Styles returns with a new drop titled Dime Bag, named so for it’s 10-song tracklist. There aren’t any additional appearances this time around, either: just one of Hip-Hop’s hardest going in lyrically over hard production.

Ever since seeing her alongside Lil Yachty as a member of the Sailing Team (which is apparently disbanded), it was hard not to see Kodie Shane as a soon-to-be breakout artist. Following tours and highly-rated releases like Zero Gravity, the Atlanta artist delivers her debut album Young Heartthrob, which sees 15 genre-bending tracks and assists from TK Kravitz and Trippie Redd. This is only the beginning.

For his latest, IDK surprises with a 7-track effort that sees him collaborating alongside other DMV artists (ex. Wale, Rico Nasty, Q Da Fool) and fellow peers like Maxo Kream and Domo Genesis. He explains the release below:

“These are raw and uncut idk thoughts… I’ve done a lot of features with my friends and I feel like it would be a shame to let that music go to waste. This is in no way shape or form as deep as many of my previous projects as a whole, BUT I think each song is fire and gets the point across in a short amount of time. I don’t want anyone to have any expectations for this project. I don’t want it to be mistaken for my debut album… I took the time to work on my hooks and keep a level of simplicity in each track, but at the same time still keep it clever as usual. I just want y’all to enjoy the crank and play the f*ck out of it while we wait for me to complete the album.”

Singer, actor and comedian, Jamie Foxx turned 50 years yesterday and celebrated it in style at Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, California.

It wasn’t your typical birthday either! It was a full-fledged concert. According to TMZ, Foxx was joined by Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Too $hort for the big bash. While there Ice Cube performed hits like “Gangsta Gangsta” and Ludacris performed “Move B****.”

One thing about the Bay Area: it’s amazing to see how the pillars of Hip-Hop there continue to push the culture forward, especially alongside the newer generation that’s inspired by them. With that said, Too $hort is back with a new mixtape titled Hella Disrespectful: Bay Area, which precedes his forthcoming album — his twentieth! — titled The Pimp Tape.

Hella Disrespectful sees 22 tracks and a slew of appearances — veterans E-40 and Mistah F.A.B. can be spotted alongside younger artists like G-Eazy and Nef The Pharoah (and everyone in between, including Philthy Rich and IAMSU!).

Check out the new project below. You can also pre-order The Pimp Tape via iTunes, out December 15th…his lead single from that (the Ty Dolla $ign, Jeremih & French Montana-assisted “Ain’t My Girlfriend”) is added as well.
