Though we’re sure by now that everyone’s heard the quick snippet of Hova’s new track “100$ Bill,” Warner Bros. has released a brief teaser of “The Great Gatsby”, featuring Jay-Z’s new track. The song in full (at least we hope) can be heard on the soundtrack for the upcoming film which was also scored by Jay himself. This snippet is much shorter, but still dope to see it in tandem with the film. The soundtrack will also feature collabs from Fergie, Will. I. Am., Lana Del Rey, Florence & The Machine, Beyonce, Andre 3000, and more. Click above to peep the quick vid.

Rapper Action Bronson who has a ridiculously nice flow by the way, drops another hot track today titled “Strictly 4 The Jeeps” and his rap skills are almost impeccable. The rapper, hailing straight from Queens samples a tad bit of Biggie Smalls’ classic “Juicy” and then breaks into his ridiculous snare hitting gritty beat massacre produced by none other than Harry Fraud. Currently in the studio working on his new album, Action Bronson is one to look out for. Check out the track after the jump!

Amidst rumors that he’s been dropped from Maybach Music Group, a frustrated Pill has released a series of tweets lashing out at his record label.
As previously reported, the rapper told The Boombox that rumors of his departure from MMG were false and perpetuated by “haters.”

“I’m not sure how they started actually [rumors of his departure] I noticed it when people started f—ing with me on Twitter, but I don’t know the source of it. I mean, it is what it is. It’s mostly Twitter — people that follow me or don’t follow me that hate on me daily, and wanna start s—.”

Now however, the signee who operates through Warner Bros is going off on the label for hindering his success.

According to Pill, his career was doing much better before WB and he landed movie deals and TV appearances on his own.

Now unfortunately with the “help” of a label, his career is at a standstill.

Obviously frustrated, he took to Twitter to write,

“No TV and No Radio.. U do the math.I bet u can name you favorite artist and the turn on the tv and see the video and hear it on the radio. It’s not rocket science. Radio and TV b4 I had a deal, none after and u ask why Pill ain’t blew all the way up. Artist sign deals, label doesnt do shit for them or don’t even know to work the artist. time wasted..

Ask Wiz Khalifa what Warner Bros did for him. I’ll wait.. dropped em. Atlantic signed em put em on TV and Radio and he sky rocketed. Mind you, whn I signed I had one of the biggest records in 09′ “Trap Goin Ham” never touched TV never touched radio. Now go back and do your research and see what unsigned artist was neck n neck with Drake’s So Far Gone in 09′. Pill 4180: The Prescription.

If I remember tht list correctly. It was Nicki Minaj, Drake, Pill, Wayne, Jeezy. Nw what the hell ws a new cumber like me doin on that list? Because IM DOPE!! That’s why, u ain’t gotta believe it but I know it and won’t ever stop until I get that spot I deserve. Peace. Thanx.Top 10 freshman cover of the New Times, unsigned hype MTV fire starter cover Creative Loafing, German magazine’s, French radio, Jimmy kimmel. Did a movie with Evan Ross and Brittany Snow, Had a documentary air at the UN summit in Geneva, Switzerland, Mark Ronson’s album, toured n London, countless shows in the states, Short Films, etc. and that with No TV or radio. Now imagine some push and TV and radio would do.”

After parting ways from his previous home at Universal, it’s been confirmed that rapper Common has signed with label Warner Bros. There’s no specifics on the deal itself but his upcoming new album The Dreamer, The Believer, will be the first release with his new home via G.O.O.D. Music.

Warner Bros. CEO Todd Moscowitz announced the signing at a concert this afternoon, which Common attended and spoke on the new deal:

“I’m very grateful to be a part of this family, to be a part of this team,” Common told crowd in the Warner Bros. Records courtyard. “We have very inspirational, exciting music to team up with you. We’re just open to what this change can bring.”
