Sade. Prince. Jodeci. The Isleys. Maxwell. Luther. Synonymous celebrated vocalists who defined the neosoul/contemporary R&B genre for generations through supple ballads of intimacy. Cosigned by American philosopher Cornell West, Raheem “Radio” DeVaughn continues his pursuit of those almost mythical individuals, looking to perch the name “...

After more push backs than a Dragon Ball Z hair line, the new Fabolous mixtape is finally here. DJ Drama and Loso have hooked up once again to deliver "There Is No Competition 2 (The Funeral Service)". Fab puts out some of the best mixtapes that you will ever hear, even so to the point where many people believe they outshine his albums. Hurry up an...

There was a little dispute over twitter this weekend over who was better: Joe Budden or Phonte of Little Brother. While I believe Phonte lyrically is not better, musically I feel he is. And he proves it over this smooth Khrysis produced "Curtain Call" (who needs 9th Wonder?). Little Brother is at it one more time before they hang it up, with the ne...

Lil Wayne and Young Money take a page out of Sin City for their new video "Roger That". If you watch the video up to Tygas verse he puts on a gas mask and looks like a character straight out of Borderlands. Of course your favorite female rapper Nicki Minaj is the real reason to watch this video, so enough talking, more watching. Props to On...

Female emcees’ voices have blasted through stereo speakers since hip-hops inception. But, longevity of those artists has always been an issue. Could the pressures of maintaining an over sexualized image be the culprit of their on-again off-again relationship with hip-hop? Since the naissance of hip-hop in the late 1970’s, this genre of musi...

Rap Legend Guru/Gang starr has suffered a heart attack and is now in a coma. His close friend DJ Premier sent a message to the Internet informing the world of his current condition in the early hours of the morning. I would like to send my best wishes to Gang starr and his family, this man is a legend in hip hop and I grew up listening to him. We d...

I know my boy Edward V is a big Soulja Boy fan so I couldn't resist posting his new video "All Back Everything". This is not even a joke, me Jowin and Gary were just discussing this very idea for a song and then BAM! I think The Koalition offices are being tapped for creative ideas. I'll save the remarks on the Soulja Boy video for you guys. Have f...

What's up again people. First off I want to thank The Koalition crew and everyone who showed my "Cosplay Girl" music video love last weekend. It reached 1000+ views in 3 days and I got alot of new support from releasing that, so thanks. My EP, Hyaline, is now available for download. With the exception of "Cosplay Girl", all production was done by m...

Jay Electronica has been blazing up the airwaves lately with his anthem Exhibit C, but months before the release of Rockstar's Beaterator he was invited into the studios to mess around with the game. After searching through their archives, Rockstar have come across the beat that Jay Electronica put together during his time at their studios in New Y...

You ever see a good video turn into a bad movie? Well, watch it happen here. This new Rick Ross video Mafia Music Part 2 is the first street single off his new album Teflon Don. It features Chrisette Michele and has a few cameos from the likes of DJ Khaled. The video was really cool up until the end. Rick Ross put on his best acting skills to play ...

Who said gangster music was dead? GQ Magazine? That's like The Koallition declaring country music is dead. Doesn't make any sense. Tony Yayo hits you with another video from his Gunpowder Guru LP which is out now. Big ups to my boy Angel over at G Unit for the tip. Is it me or did 50 Cent go on on a hiatus? Well anyway, let me know what you think o...

What up world. So for those who don't know already, I have an album coming out February 26th called Hyaline. As an act of tomfoolery and just to have a little fun, I shot a music video for one of the songs entitled "Cosplay Girl". (Warning: If you are at work, or with the family, it is suggested that you watch this somewhere else it IS full of tits...

Another one for the Nicki lovers on The Koalition. This time she comes courtesy of Ludacris, who's using "My Chick Bad" as his next single for his album. She goes over the top this time with crazy Freddy "Nightmare On Elm Street" gloves and over driven makeup. Luda just kind of sits in a directors chair for the whole video. I know you have to follo...

Posting this for all the Nicki Minaj lovers on The Koalition and the forums. She covers The FADER Magazines issue 66. A Magazine cover already? No album? No single? She just has a few featured tracks. I don't understand what the hype is musically about her. She can't rap her way out of a paper bag. But visually, this girl is built like bricks. Don'...

With almost every rapper scheduled to drop an album this year, 2010 is seeming to be a phenomenal year for Hip-Hop. The Koalition’s editorial team has taken time out to let the world know which albums we’re personally anticipated and more importantly “why”. Agree with us? Disagree with us? Wanna know why Swiff looks like he’s about to sla...

Spotted this at the dope house not sure if its official. But, whether its the official cover art or not it's crazy fire. I like how it borrows from a comic theme, which gets me even more hyped for the album. Wu is known for story like themes and one that follows this comic style would be a fresh creative start to this boring rap year so far. Method...
