    New Track from Mashich The Plug for Music Monday

    We rarely post any Music Monday tracks anymore unless it’s a special track. This is the first one of 2022 and we have a couple tracks for you all to check out. Mashich is someone that has been featured a couple times over the last couple years. The first one is called The Plug and it’s produced A.M.O. Productions. Recently, he was featured on a track with Honest Ave with additional vocals from Briya. What makes me a huge fan of Mashich is that his vibe reminds me of old-school R&B music. The Plug is no different and he has us all anticipating more music from him. Keep up with…

    Listen and Stream O.T.R Legends by JP & Murda

    If you have followed me throughout the years, you will know how much I love music. It’s even more special when people close to your put it out. This past Friday, two childhood friends did just that. JP & Murda just released their new project OTR Legends. The OTR stands of Out the Road, which is where we all grew up. They have been doing their thing for years now. JP has a son named MKP who’s been featured on here before. JP & Murda came back hard with the Return of the Legends track. The video highlighted not only Out the Road, but the city of Gainesville. Great track…

    Special Affair from Mashich Featuring Dejah B.

    It’s been a minute, but it’s time for the return of Music Monday. We only bring this back for special occasions and this is one of them. It’s been over 6 years since we were introduced to D.C. Da Beast and the Thurobredz Clique. During that time, we’ve had countless singles and a dope mixtape in the process. They continue to grow and represent Philly to the fullest by introducing a clothing line. They have also brought new artists into the fold and one of them being Mashich. Last year, we had the chance to check out his track, Haunted. Haunted was a dope track and now he’s back with…

    First off, Happy New Year and decade to everyone out there. Hoping this new decade and year will be the start of a new, prosperous beginning. If things have been going great, hoping they’ll continue moving in that direction. We’re starting the year off with a Music Monday on the R&B tip. Mashich is his name and he’s someone that DCDaBeast introduced me to. The track is called Haunted and A.M.O. Productions is responsible for the beat while J. Mogul mixed it. The first time hearing it was on Mashich’s Instagram page and thought it was dope. After first listening to Haunted, it made me think about all the music…

    2014 Forest Hills Drive from J. Cole Released 5 Years Ago

    J. Cole is one of my favorite rappers from this generation. A couple months ago, my Mixtape Friday was my personal J. Cole compilation. Recently, J. Cole stated that he’s no longer doing features after he appeared on the new Gang Starr’s Family and Loyalty. J. Cole has put out five albums, a few mixtapes, three compilations and been featured on numerous tracks. 5 years ago, J. Cole released his classic third album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. 2014 Forest Hills Drive was the follow-up to his classic Born Sinner project.

    I’ve been a Dave East fan ever since the Kairi Chanel mixtape. On November 8th, Dave East released his much anticipated Survival album. Dave East has gained added exposure for his dramatic portrayal of Method Man in Wu-Tang: An American Saga, the 10-episode HULU mini-series that pre­miered in September. A fic­tion­alized drama, An American Saga was created by Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA and Alex Tse (Watchmen, Superfly 2018). Executive producers include Brian Grazer and Method Man. It is noted that W-TC’s Method Man and Ghostface Killah have enjoyed long stints as Def Jam solo artists. View trailers for An American Saga HERE. For my Music Monday, check out the Survival…

    One of the Best Yet from Gang Starr Album Released

    Gang Starr is one of my favorite duos ever when it comes to hip hop. Hard to Earn is a certified classic that turned 25 earlier this year. DJ Premier is one of the greatest producers in my humble opinion. Guru is one of the coldest to ever touch the mic. Unfortunately, Guru lost his battle with cancer nine years ago. When DJ Premier dropped the Family and Loyalty track with J. Cole that brought back so many memories. Family and Loyalty was featured as a Music Monday track a little over a month ago. Guru had that commanding voice and his delivery is legendary. DJ Premier stated that there’s…

    T.I. Paperwork Released 5 Years Ago Today

    T.I. has had a lengthy and legendary career spanning almost 20 years now. T.I. have released a few classics along the way and even called himself “The King of the South”. 5 years ago today, T.I. released his ninth album, Paperwork. Jeezy, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Pharrell Williams, Trae the Truth, The Dream and the late, great Nipsey Hussle appear on the album. While Paperwork isn’t on par with albums like Trap Muzik or Urban Legend, but it’s a good project. My favorite track off the album was probably G Shit featuring Jeezy. You can peep the video for G-Shit below. The three official singles released for this album featured…

Snoop Dogg created a little film for his track, Murder Was the Case. Death Row put out an official soundtrack and it was released 25 years ago today. Unfortunately, the Murder Was the Case Soundtrack isn’t available on any streaming services. Either way, we have to show love to another classic Death Row Records release.

    Gang Starr Family and Loyalty With J. Cole

    First things first, rest in peace to the late, great Guru. Guru passed away in April 2010 from a long bout with cancer. Before passing, Guru released several solo projects and later formed Gang Starr with DJ Premier. Gang Starr is one of my favorite duos ever and when Guru passed, we all thought that was the end of Gang Starr. Moment of Truth is one of those albums that need to be in everyone’s collection. Royalty from Moment of Truth was featured as my Throwback Thursday track at the beginning of the year. Last week, Gang Starr premiered their first track in about 16 years. Let’s just say, it…

    Listen and Stream Rapsody Eve for Music Monday

    This week, we’re having not one, but two featured for Music Monday. The first one was the new Jeezy album, TM 104: The Legend of the Snowman. For this one, we have the new album from Rapsody entitled Eve. While many people have been up on Rapsody for a minute, unfortunately that’s not the case for me. My first time hearing her was on Complexion off of To Pimp a Butterfly from Kendrick Lamar. Afterwards, you can say I backtracked and started to follow her. A couple years ago, Rapsody released the Laila’s Wisdom album and it was one of my favorite from 2017. This time, Rapsody dropped her name…

Either way, Jeezy snatched up CeeLo Green, Rick Ross, Meek Mill John Legend, Gunna and Ball Greezy for TM 104. When it comes to Jeezy, I’ve stated that the Thug Motivation 101 album is one of my…

    After much anticipation, Rick Ross finally released his Port of Miami 2 album. Port of Miami 2 is the follow-up to his classic, Rather You Than Me project. For me, Rick Ross is one of the more underrated rappers ever. On the last Mixtape Friday, we put together over 120 tracks for the Very Best of Rick Ross playlist. Port of Miami 2 makes this his unprecedented 10th studio album and 13 years since his Port of Miami debut. After listening a couple of times, Ross came through once again. After putting together such an impressive discography, we now can refer to Rick Ross as a legend. Nipsey Hussle, Lil…

    Rick Ross is preparing to drop his unprecedented 10th album, Port of Miami 2. The follow-up to his Rather You Than Me will finally be released on August 9th. If Port of Miami 2 is near as good as Rather You Than Me, we all will be happy. Rather You Than Me was my second favorite album to drop in 2017. Actually, Rather You Than Me is my second favorite album from Rick Ross in his impressive discography. Recently, Rick Ross teamed up with Drake for his newest single, Gold Roses. If you look back at the history of these two on the same track, it has been amazing. From…

    Listen to My Top 5 Albums from Nas

    We kicked things off last week with the late, great 2Pac. This week, we’ll move to my favorite rapper alive and that’s Nas. Nas has been in the game over 25 years as he made his first appearance on a record in 1991. Live at the Barbeque by Main Source was the introduction to Nas. The verse on the track garnered so much attention for Nas and it landed him a record deal. In 1994, Nas dropped his debut album, Illmatic and it has been called one of the best hip hop records of all-time. Nas have released 11 albums, which include a double disc, 2 collaboration and 3 compilations…

    I know I’m really, really late on this one, but I just started my Music Monday again. This week I went to the Major Key album by DJ Khaled and got the joint by Nasir Jones. Just to let you all know again, Nas is my favorite rapper alive. Since Nas released his last album, Life is Good, he’s been on his business stuff and haven’t released any brand-new music. Finally, Nas hooked up with DJ Khaled for this new track called Nas Album Done. I remember hearing the snippet before it was released and was ready for this to drop immediately. When I first heard the entire track, I…
