Future Tresvant switching up his flow so effortlessly that the sad robot army left in his wake has to return to Ted Lawson for new programming. I interviewed Nayvadius at a studio in North Hollywood last week and there were a lot of epiphanies that extend beyond his mild resemblance to the raptor formerly known […]

Deen doesn’t do bow ties. It’s fair to say that Rawse has settled into something resembling a comfortable groove. He doesn’t really seem to be all that interested in or capable of making the biggest hits he can. In lieu of proper hit-making Rawse seems to have settled for making anthemic bangers that’ll do just […]

This is not suitable for a Monday morning. It’s probably not suitable for any morning. The Devil’s Harbinger seethes with a condemned fury that you’d expect from its name and title. A few months ago, The Devil hit me up to explain his latest project. Prior to donning his new nom de doom, he was […]

The Max Julien #1 Draft Pick was Camp Lo, who forged an entire career out of the fur coats and the 24 karat-flash of The Mack. Pimp C probably also picked up a few pointers from the wardrobe specialist better known as Goldie. And you know Curren$y made a killing out of kicking similarly simplistic […]

French Montana paid Evan Nabavian for this post in bottles of Tej. Sometimes the most effective singers aren’t singers. Outside of Biz Markie, ODB, Ja Rule, and Lil Wayne, I’ll cite “Stay Schemin” where French Montana goon-croons a hook that logically should have been sung by Drake or any given R&B princeling. But maybe the […]

We interrupt your regularly scheduled weekend debauchery to bring you a collaboration between Future and Mystikal. Meek Mill and uh, Tyga are on it too, but these are only ancillary details. The song is called “Fly Rich” and the lyrics and sound come straight out of the usual sad robot modern luxury lane that none […]

Deen is smanging in swangers. I figured that by now I’d have begun to suffer from Future/Mike Will Made It induced fatigue, but three minutes and thirty seconds later, I’m glad to report that I’m still on the bandwag… erm, spaceship. As we all know, it’s a copy cat industry and every hot rapper/hook man/producer […]

My brain had to be hover-craft converted to Future. In this Marty McFly in 2015 scenario, Big Rube plays Goldie Wilson III. While Mike Will Made It is the production equivalent of Gray’s Sports Almanac. He has all the answers. It took a minute for Future’s aesthetic to really come into clear vision. After “Tony […]

Deen is on the phone, cooking sopes at the same damn time. Call me cynical or even humorless, but when will rappers learn? Seriously? What’s the damn point in putting Future on a hook if you aren’t aiming for the charts? I mean, I fux with gritty and gully-sounding shit more than the next person, […]

Jimmy Ness knows that the future is plastics. Welcome 2 Mollyworld is the astronaut’s foray into recording under the influence of serotonin hog Molly, also known to white people as MDMA. The mixtape is a collection of popular material and remixes but DJ X-Rated seizes five new tracks, all of which are more listenable than […]
