Ryshon Jones - Fuck My Job: Life In Reverse [Mixtape Trailer]

Ryshon Jones and I had a short Twitter convo about quitting your job to go after your dreams, and I'm glad he said "F**k it" and chose to put his all into music. Inspired by his newfound freedom, he added Fuck My Job to the title of his upcoming project Life In Reverse. Watch the trailer below which features an intro by "DJ Envy," and make sure you check him out at SXSW if you're hitting up Austin!

DJ Definit x The Notorious B.I.G. - Notorious Prophecy [New Mixtape]

There's nothing better than relaxing on a Sunday to some Biggie.

Enjoy!

Chris Brown - F**k The City Up [Prod. by Drumma Boy]

When I first saw the title to this new Chris Brown track, I thought he was doing a freestyle over T.I. and Young Jeezy's song, but nope. Sounds nothing like it. He joins forces with Drumma Boy once again to release "F**k The City Up," a smooth cut that G.U.E. deems SERTAfied. Fortune drops May 8th!

Zip Kennedy will drop Stamp My Name, his followup to his popular album Sky Republic, on March 27th, and he let loose of his new track "One Up" right in time for the weekend. I have a feeling this hook will be stuck in my head by the end of the night...

It's the weekend so you know what that means. BOW. BOW. BOW BOW BOW.

Heath McNease - Thrift Store Jesus [Album Stream]

Heath McNease first caught my attention with his and Playdough's Wed, White & Wu project, and the Atlanta emcee has opened my ears once again with his new album Thrift Store Jesus. The flow, the lyrics and the instrumentation are better than those of most projects I've heard lately, and the consistency is most likely due to Heath's involvement into every aspect of Thrift Store Jesus's creation. He co-produced the majority of the tracks and also played the acoustic guitar, ukelele, piano, and xylophone on certain selections. No wonder this debuted on Bandcamp at #1 and stayed their for 6 days!
