Atlanta-based artist Dose is set to release his debut mixtape, The OverDose, to follow-up on the success of his bubbling single, “Where They Do That At (remix, feat. Rick Ross & Fabolous).” The OverDose will focus on Dose’s ability to excel in not only making catchy hooks, but displaying a lyrical versatility not seen in the South since T.I.’s prime.

"Civilized Talk" finds us at a funeral service. A joyous and upbeat one at that. After weeks of push backs, 11th hour recordings and a few back and forth squabbles with DJ Drama on Twitter, their highly anticipated mixtape, There Is No Competition 2.


Malice and Pusha T, collectively known as The Clipse, are by far one of the game's premiere duos. Hailing from the 757 area of Virginia, the brothers have amassed a reputation which has seen them successfully merge drugs and rap, almost effortlessly. Read More


We Are Young Money, had been anticipated since the lead single, "Every Girl", leaked in January. To the group's credit, they've managed to maintain momentum throughout the year headlined by the album's release on December 23. Read More

Oh, You WILL Pay B.G.

As my homie Haze from DGB put it, this is one of those tracks you don’t see everyday. With B.G.’s seemingly 50th studio album, Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood, hitting stores next week, one of my more anticipated tracks has finally surfaced. You see, the track features Soulja Slim, C-Murder and Lil Boosie, making it one of the rare occasions where all off the featured artists are either dead or in jail, unfortunately.

Marsha Ambrosius – "Doesn't Matter To Me"

OnSmash

As I  anxiously wait for the inevitable “food’s ready!” announcement (and the Cowboys game), I figured I’d pass the time by doing this. Marsha Ambrosius is by far one of the most talented artists in the world, at least in my book.  Any and everything she jumps on I feel it is my civic duty to obtain it and if she ever decides to release a solo album, best believe I’ll be in Best Buy that Tuesday to support.

Her voice has always been sensual, exotic and introspective at the same time. Lord knows every time she hops on a hook it instantly increases the quality of the song by at least five notches. “Don’t Matter To Me” is an intimate record from Miss Marsha and should eventually have a solid place on any R&B playlist. While I’m unsure what project this will be found on, Marsha’s soothing vocals and infectious beat by Oak & Maddscientist should certainly have this on repeat for awhile as the former Floetry member pleads her case as to why her love is, in essence, second to none.

I’m sure you’ve received 30 different mass text messages, but I can’t go without saying Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

50 Cent Myspace Live Show

DSC_5186

Amidst all the controversy, 50 Cent still remains one of the larger-than-life figures in Hip-Hop. For this reason, I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to see Curtis Jackson perform live. Last night Kasey from Digiwaxx Media invited me to the 50 Cent concert at The Highline Ballroom, presented by Myspace Music and Hot97. Myspace Music has been putting on the concerts under their “The Release” brand which coincides with the release of highly anticipated albums. 50 Cent’s was booked for the 50th installment of this series which also promotes 50’s new album “Before I Self Destruct.”

 

The crowd in the venue was packed and the energy was crazy mainly because everyone knew a couple of surprises were on the way. Fif came out to a packed crowd with the street smash, “Crime Wave”, receiving the loudest ovation from the Highline crowd. Much to the astonishment of many fans, 50 played hands up and brought out the now infamous Beanie Sigel for the first verse. The two men aimed at making Jay-Z’s life a living hell also performed their incredibly gutter track, “I Go Off.”
