New Mixtape: Big KRIT – 4eva N a Day
New mixtape from one of the hottest younger MCs from the South right now. Big KRIT was a 2011 XXL Freshman Class member and spent last year dropping incredible mixtapes with smooth, laid back instrumentals and the lyrics to match. Listening to this really is a flashback to the country southern rapper greats of all-time. KRIT is truly a on the path towards being a true southern hip-hop legend and the anticipation for a debut full length LP grows even more. Until then, we enjoy the incredible original music KRIT continues to release to the fans for free. I don’t see any hip-hop fan having a problem with that at all.
New Music: J. Cole, Chip Tha Ripper, DJ Drama, & More
It’s Friday so how about some fresh tracks for the weekend? Why not start things off with one of the hottest younger MCs in the game right now J. Cole. He just dropped this gem today and it is pure fire.
Next up, a couple new tracks from Chip Tha Ripper. He’s continuing the onslaught of new music since releasing his mixtape Tell Ya Friends back in late January which is full of bangers. He has since released a couple new songs one of which features Casey Veggies.
Next a new banger collaboration brought to you by DJ Drama and friends. Dram knows how to get big names together to produce a banger and that’s what he’s done again.
Lastly, a couple songs from some artists you might be sleeping on but absolutely shouldn’t. First up, Brisco is a Florida rapper that has actually been around for awhile and you may recgonize his name because he’s made some great collaborations with Lil Wayne back in the day. Well he’s back again with just that. Also, if you haven’t heard the name Slaughterhouse you better get used to the name. This is the hip-hop supergroup on Shady Records comprised of Royce Da 5’9″, Joe Budden, Crooked I, & Joell Ortiz. This is the supposed first single from their album Welcome to: Our House which (for now) is set to release on May 15th and will be mostly produced by Eminem. This one is a banger from a very talented supergroup in hip-hop.
PS: This track was produced by one of my favorite producers and reigning king of the MPC araabMUZIK. If you haven’t heard of him do your homework. Maybe do some extra credit.
