Fabolous and Pusha T recently brought their talents to BB Kings in New York for the “Life Is So Exciting” tour. For those of us who couldn’t attend, Nigel D got this special performance all on camera. During Fabolous’s set, he brought out numerous special guests such as Teyana Taylor, Wale, Joe Budden and even Lil Mo. Check out the footage above.

With much anticipation, Hot 97 let go of the official line-up to this years Summer Jam which will be at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey on June 2nd. This line-up has people debating and talking about who should be there and who shouldn’t, and in my opinion, the line-up could have been a lot better. Hopefully the show is just as good as the past ones have been.

The duo SLV consists of singer Emanny and rapper Joe Budden. They’ve done quite a few records together and last night, they let go of a brand new track entitled “Miss Me” that is self produced by Emanny. Audio after the jump.

The video has officially dropped today, after some very teasing behind the scenes photos released last week. Joe Budden hits back with the new joint “N.B.A.- Never Broke Again”, which can almost be assured after all the press the Jersey rapper has been getting from VH1′s Love & Hip Hop. The video features Taylor Gang’s Wiz Khalifa, who is Budden’s new-found rap acquaintance, as well as Bronx native “Excuse My French” rapper French Montana. The trio takes it to the basketball court with a play on words, you know  NBA (basketball themed video)? Makes sense. Read more and check the new video after the jump! (more…)

Joe Budden is back to the music after several incidents with Consequence. Today, he lets go of the official visual to “Castles” which is found on his “No Love Lost” album that dropped last month. The video was directed by both Lil Internet and Thuan Tran. “No Love Lost” in stores now.

We heard Consequence‘s side of the story and we’ve heard Joe Budden‘s side of the story, well this morning Tahiry called up to Power 105.1′s The Breakfast Club to discuss the fight between Joe and Cons as well as her fist meeting Cons in the face during the filming of The Reunion of Love & Hip Hop: New York.

The saga continues in the beef between Joe Budden and Consequence. It was reported yesterday that at the Love & Hip Hop Reunion filming that Joe Budden was smacked by Consequence while having a cigarette with Tahiry. After a few tweets were exchanged, Joe then called up to tell his side of the story to Angie Martinez and he specifically states that this was not over. Above is a video of Joe Budden sticks to his words as he and friends attacked Consequence in the streets.

5. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – The Heist – 29,000 - I’m not a huge fan of the song, but it’s a hit without a doubt. With warmer weather on the horizon, have Mack & Ryan thought about a remix for the record? No? Ok, moving along.

20. Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d city – 17,000 - It’s pretty safe to label Kendrick as a star now. He’s even performing on ESPN! (more…)
