No longer just a battle rapper, Ness Lee has flourished into full-fledged artist, and it’s working for him. Known for his witty punchlines, Ness keeps with his well-respected tradition and delivers in a major way. His new video, ‘I Am the South’ is titled with a boastful proclamation in itself but as you watch the video, you will soon see that this could be considered as a prideful ode to the South.

Those were the good ol’ days… Nowadays when we hear any mention of Foxy Brown, the rapper, it’s usually followed by a wacky tale of how the female emcee managed to find herself in some type o trouble with authorities. But we want to let it be known that once upon a time she really was all about the music. Here’s a flashback from her debut album ‘Ill Na Na’. Oh and by the way, it was rumored that Foxy and Jay-Z were once an item. We’ll never know the truth behind that one but one thing is certain, they gave us a few classics that will always be held in high regards in the hip hop world.

Versatile… That’s the one word that comes to mind when we speak about Dré. Every time we hear a new joint from this kid, he comes with a different style and the rhymes he’s spitting can be felt in the soul. On this one he takes a classic beat and kills it. We can’t wait for an official album, it’s definitely gonna be something special.

Well this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Meek Mill drops his new mixtape, ‘Dreamchasers 2′ and to say that ‘EVERYBODY’ will be bumping this joint is an understatement. Fans have no problem showing the young’n from Philly love on his new release. Dreamchasers 2 picks up right where the original left off and clearly for all the nonbelievers, it is safe to declare that Meek has rightfully earned his spot in today’s conversation on who is killing right now.

Peep the new mixtape from International Gem titled ‘Old Gold’. The project features Gem going in on every track with an apparent hunger that gives you the feeling that he’s headed to a place where only the true and worthy dare to venture.

Here’s the latest from the young homey Blayze Deville who is becoming well-known for his lyrical skills as well as, his producing talents. The newest addition to his list of hand-crafted perfection is titled, ‘Bottles, Women, Cars’. As we said before, it’s best to keep your eyes on this kid, with the proper guidance, he could take his music to new heights.

Guess who’s back??? Obie Trice is back on his grizzly and he’s getting everybody ready for his upcoming ‘The Hangover’ Mixtape. It’s good to see the Detroit native back on the scene. Ever since Proof, of D12, passed away, Obie hasn’t been seen in the limelight too often. But it seems now that he is rejuvenated and ready to get it poppin’ once more.

Best of both worlds… This is one of those timeless classics that brings the perfect vibe for any party situation. For anyone who’s curious to know the difference between reggae and reggaeton, needless to say that there really isn’t. It’s the artists that bring the music to life. Here is De La Ghetto and Mavado, two of dancehall’s and reggaeton’s hottest talents.

This is truly a beautiful song… Stephen Marley presents his latest piece of musical perfection, ‘Made In Africa’. The song takes us on a soulful and spiritual journey through the Motherland –past, present, and future. To sweeten the deal, Stephen chose MMG artist Wale to feature on the track, as well as, The Cast of Fela.

Here is video footage of International Gem during an in-studio performance at The Burgundy Lab. Really hope you guys were paying attention when HHABC told everybody that Gem was soon gonna be coming with his own takeover. New York has a lot of underground and mainstream artists who are always on the grind, but International Gem has what it takes to climb to the top in either category.
