For those who do not know, Nujabes was the primary producer behind the soundtrack to Samurai Champloo, one of the most popular and impactful animes of last decade.

K'Naan teamed up with Coca-Cola to make Wavin Flag' their official song for the 2010 World Cup ad campaign. They shot the video and it even features cameos from the likes of Damien Marley. Pretty big move for K'Naan, this will make him a worldly celebrated artist. Really good look for hip hop. I know my colleague James will be bumping this while he...

Looks like Meth, Rae and Ghostface liked Mass Effect 2 so much, that they made a song about Miranda. Just kidding, the song is completely unrelated to Mass Effect 2. One thing is for sure though, the song is fire. Whenever Method Man, Raekwon and Ghostface unite for the purpose of hip hop, it always results in some hot music being made. Listen to t...

After listening to Consequence's verses one several of Kanye's song, I became a somewhat of a fan. His mixtapes were always decent and his debut album, Don't Quit Your Day Job, was pretty good, and after that he turned into a ghost. Well now he's back on his grind with a new mixtape entitled, Movies On Demand, which is presented by Nahright, G.O.O....

It seems not enough of us bought 50's last album Before I Self Destruct because for his next project the rapper from Queen's seems to be taking a completely different approach. Speaking to an interviewer in Norway, 50 Cent revealed that the Norwegian club scene has inspired him to make more up-tempo music which means that fans should "expect the un...

Banks is back with the video for his latest single Beamer, Benz or Bentley. The song features Skull Gang honcho Juelz Santana and a beat which sounds like it jumped in to a time vortex in 2003 and reemerged in the 2010 where it has become incredibly stale and  dated. Still, if you currently have three luxurious cars in your garage you'll probably ...

The spin off to Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana hit song Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley is Nissan, Honda, Chevy. And it features 1 quarter of Slaughterhouse Joell Ortiz and Jim Jones. Song is dope as usual no hate here. Nissans are more in my range of cars anyway. Price range of course. The Beamer comes in 2 years. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Daddy Fat Sacks is back just in time for the Spring. He also brought along with him two legends in the game. George Clinton (Dogg) and Too Short (Biatch) add a nice touch to this dope-ass track. So at the first sight at 70 degree weather jump in yo ride let the windows down, the seats, and sun roof back. Then blow one in the air "For Yo Sorrows"....

It's official, DJ Khaled's forth (and worst) album Victory is a failure. Released last week Victory only managed to push 29,484 copies in it's first 7 days on shelves despite the big names associated with it, such as Nas, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Drake, Usher, John Legend, Rick Ross, Jim Jones and Young Jeezy. Hopefully this won't deter Khaled from re...

Some of you might be stepping into the 8-bit world this month thanks to Capcom. Mega Man 10 is heading to all consoles near you, and in case you want a little hip-hop to go along with your 8-bit music, Ransom AKA Mega Ran provides. Although I'm not a fan of 8-bit sounds, I like the song. It's not too often we hear a good rapper spit over an 8-bi...

So go support my man Ludacris, after all he did hit us gamers off with a nice joint last year "Press The Start Button." ...

Here is the long anticipated video for Lil Wayne ft Eminem collaboration "Drop The World". Lil Wayne may be going into Rikers real soon, but you can be sure he's going to stay getting love through out his whole incarceration.
