ScHoolboy Q - "Man Of The Year"

ScHoolboy Q's album Oxymoron has been the next to drop for some time now, and while I'm growing impatient, I'm glad that TDE decided to share a morsel of the project with us in the form of "Man Of The Year." Stay tuned. The release date for Oxymoron is set to be released next week.

[VIDEO] Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, N.O.R.E. & More Remember Wu-Tang's ' Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers)' Album

Saturday, November 9th marked the 20th anniversay of Wu-Tang Clan's debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). While I was only 4 years old when it dropped, I still remember the impact the album had on me growing up thanks to my sister blasting it constantly. Once I'd matured and was able to appreciate it for myself, I went back to form my own love for the 9 man army.

Like myself and millions of others, today's upper echelon of emcees have also been inspired by the work and accomplishments of Wu-Tang. In a special Rap Fix Live moment with MTV's Sway, members U-God, Masta Killa and honorary member Cappadonna were presented with a video compilation of clips from N.O.R.E., DJ Khaled, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, ScHoolboy Q, Big Sean and A$AP Rocky-- all expressing their gratitude for the Wu-Tang movement.

[New Mixtape] Stalley - "Honest Cowboy" + "MindGames with Mindbonics" Interview

Out of all of the Maybach Music stars on the roster, Stalley is the artist whose development has remained indie and has progressed at a more natural rate. After breaking out with his independent success Lincoln Way Nights in 2011, he's expanded his fan base with the release of Savage Journey To The American Dream as well as his Songs By Me, Stalley series.

Supported by the release of the Scarface backed "Swangin," Stalley finally let loose his latest effort, Honest Cowboy. Stream + download the project below, which features a verse from ScHoolboy Q and showcases production from Rashad, Terrace Martin, Block Beattaz, and more.

Hourglass Picks: Samson, Swangin, NineteenEighty7

ScHoolboyQ - "Hell Of A Night" (Prod. by DJ Dahi)

ScHoolboy Q's album Oxymoron is next up for TDE, and Q gave NBA on TNT the honor of premiering his new single "Hell Of A Night." As usual, DJ Dahi outdoes himself on the beat, and Q puts his signature on the track. Yet another reason to get hype for the Black Hippy tour!

Black Hippy - "U.O.E.N.O." (Remix) + G.K.M.C. Tour Dates

This summer when all four brothers of Black Hippy will be touring together, they'll have another track to add to their set list. While Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O." has been redone about 5,842 times, Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Jay Rock's version should be the remix to end all UOENO remixes.


Now... who's coming with me to The Tabernacle?

CyHi The Prynce - Ivy League Club [New Mixtape]

You know I'm excited about this one. Royal Flush 2 was easily one of my favorite tapes last year.

CyHi The Prynce plans to silence all of the claims that he is low on the G.O.O.D. Music totem pole by showing off why he was signed by Kanye in the first place--HE CAN SPIT. With a load of features from Chris Brown, Big Sean, B.o.B, Big K.R.I.T., ScHoolboy Q, Lloyd, Travis Porter, The Ivy League Club seems bound to make a really positive impact on determining how high the Atlanta emcee will rank among his class.
