[Feature] It’s Def Jam’s Fault Trinidad James Got Dropped By Def Jam Posted: 04 Aug 2014 03:01 PM PDT Over the weekend, in a tweet that's since been deleted, Trinidad James revealed that he's been dropped by Def Jam, his label home for the last two years (aka essentially his entire existence as an artist):  “I should tell yall. I got dropped by the Label. My Album is now free. If u hear ur beat or verse …

[Listen] Mike WiLL Made It & Young Thug - Take a Picture Posted: 04 Aug 2014 03:00 PM PDT Earlier today, superproducer Mike WiLL Made It revealed that he had a brand new street album in the works. Rather than just letting fans stew in anticipation of the tape, he generously supplemented the announcement with the release of the project’s lead single, a joint effort with Southern phenom Young Thug.

[Feature] Five Pitbull Songs Even The Haterz Love Posted: 04 Aug 2014 03:00 PM PDT Mondays suck enough without Pitbull, so when Nathan gives me the task of finding five Pitbull songs I could love, as part of the illustrious Haterz Love saga, it makes me want to die. I don't hate Pitbull, I just genuinely think he is balls terrible. Like I hate Wiz Khalifa, but that's music hate, not hate-hate. Even …

[Listen] Maffew Ragazino - Dipset Forever Posted: 04 Aug 2014 02:30 PM PDT I’m not sure if it’s due to the moves Cam’ron‘s been making of late, something in the local water supply, or some other mysterious factor beyond my ken, but recent months have seen a resurgence of Dipset spirit among NYC rhymesayers. Brooklyn’s Maffew Ragazino becomes the latest rapper to pay homage to the illustrious East Coast …   Click the link for the stream.

[Feature] Meet HD Posted: 04 Aug 2014 02:01 PM PDT Death, taxes and picking who had the best verse. Whether it's a freestyle battle, a emcee-filled remix or say a DJBooth cypher, hip-hip heads have been debating who came out on top since dudes were first rapping in the park. As I am sure you know, The DJBooth has kicked off its new City Cypher Series, and while I may be a little biased here, …

[Listen] Ca$h Out ft. Wiz Khalifa & Ty Dolla $ign - Let’s Get It Posted: 04 Aug 2014 02:00 PM PDT Despite a star-studded lineup of guests, Ca$h Out‘s last feature, She Twerkin’ (Remix), was largely panned by Booth readers. But the ATL buzzmaker ain’t the type to be discouraged by a little negative feedback. Today, he returns to try his luck with Let’s Get It, a previously-released single that’s been spruced up with a few fresh guest features. …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] QuEST - Lost N**gas Posted: 04 Aug 2014 01:30 PM PDT When fans hit play on QuEST‘s latest single, they might be a little shocked to hear the normally down-to-earth Jersey emcee announce that he’s strapped. He anticipated this confusion, and released the song with a little disclaimer: "In this song, I am portraying a character that existed in real life. In no way do I condone violence of any kind, …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Slaine ft. Tech N9ne & Madchild - Bobby Be Real Posted: 04 Aug 2014 01:00 PM PDT Dopehead, the first release off Slaine‘s next solo LP, was a tongue-in-cheek takedown of those who devote their lives to scoring drugs. The Coka Nostra frontman returns to that satirical mode on his latest single, Bobby Be Real, linking up with two fellow underground mic-murderers to chronicle the untimely demise of a drug, liquor …   Click the link for the stream.
