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

The Clipse x Playboy Mansion

karenclipse4

New year, same grind for Pusha T and Malice. Recently The Clipse had a performance at a location every red-blooded American male likely wants to visit before they die, the Playboy Mansion. When not focused on the eye candy surrounding them, the brothers Thorton brought in New Years performing cuts much to the appreciation to the coolest man in the world, Mr. Hugh Hefner.

Also, since I have your attention, ponder on this. This week, Pusha and Malice will be shooting a video for “Freedom” this week in there hometown of VA and the very next week “Champion” will get the same treatment with fellow Virginia natives Allen Iverson and Michael Vick making cameos. I can’t let the cat out the bag yet, but be prepared for a very special surprise for the “Showing Out” (remix). As if the version with Gotti wasn’t enough… Read rest of story…

Chris Brown Performs @ The Nokio Theatre

k6

As usual, I found myself at another concert in New York City.  This time it centered around one of the more polarizing and controversial figures of the year, Chris Brown. The Chris Brown Appreciation Tour had its stop at the Nokio Theatre in Times Square and here’s a run down of how the whole event played out.

Before anyone even appeared on stage to perform, NYC mainstay DJ Enuff had the crowd rocking for quite some time with a playlist that included all of your favorite hits and even some you may not have heard in awhile. The first act on stage were the New Boyz. Whether it be from a lack of songs to perform or sheer unfamiliarity New York has with their music, the crowd was initially reluctant to gravitate towards them. They spoke through Young Money’s “Bed Rock” and LL Cool J’s “I Need Love.” However, they went for their bread and butter when they performed “Jerk” much to the crowd’s enthusiasm.
