Rick Ross – You the Boss (Feat. Nicki Minaj)

youthebossrickross

Our #1 priority in life right now is to get to hang out with Rick Ross. Rozay if you’re reading tweet @ us. (@b3science). Here Mr. MMG grabs N. Minaj for a radio ready slow jam bomb. Imagining this is the music that accompanies Ross whenever he enters/leaves a room, that super exclusive party on South Beach (“You the Boss”), climbing on aboard Diddy’s yacht (“You the Boss”), exiting the grocery store (“You the Boss”). Ricky, “You the Boss”

We don’t know who Buddy is. But this new Neps’ beat he’s found himself rapping over SHREDS. This is one of our favorite beats of the year. Get awesome.

Sway – Still Speedin’ (Remix) (Feat. Kano)

sway41

Two of UK rap’s titans connect on this new remix for Sway’s (the MC, not the annoying MTV dude) “Still Speedin'” single. For the remix, Kano, one of Grime’s founding fathers, adds a fresh new 16 on top the driving Loleatta Holloway sample. Mistajam had the premiere earlier today on BBC Radio and now you can give this brand new heater a spin by pressing play.

Young Jeezy – F.A.M.E. (Feat. T.I.) (Prod. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League)

jeezy-fame

The two Atlanta giants trade bars on top a tough new J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League beat. Jeezy’s seemingly forever delayed TM 103 is set to get yet another release date on Monday. Who’s taking bets that this won’t be when the album actually drops either. The Passion of the Jeezy. Tip, sounds re-focused, on this his first high profile post-prison feature. His rhymes are sharp and interesting and his more laid back delivery on the track complements Jeezy’s more manic verses.

Wale – Lotus Flower Bomb (Feat. Miguel)

wale

According to Wale, “Lotus Flower Bomb” is the first official, real, actual Ambition track to be leaked to the interwebs. The smooth, “call up your girlfriend cause its gonna be a special night” track is all sorts of major radio hit material. R&B dude Miguel Jontel hooks up an easy, sticky, stays-in-your-head type hook to complement Wale’s choice focused bars. Wale sounds focused. He sounds ready. Ambition is due November 1st.

Chip Tha Ripper – The Truth

chip-tha-ripper

Cleveland is our city. Seriously, bloggers, can we do with a better starting phrase for Chip than “Cleveland’s own” which seems to start 80% of the posts about him. The only dude that should ever follow the phrase “Cleveland’s own” in a sentence is, no doubt, beloved toupee, Ted Henry, Cleveland’s own Ted Henry. Tell Ya Friends is due soon.
