As our loyal readers know we are HUGE fans of Bangs here at The Koalition (especially our Senior Editor Dro who moonlights as an Admin on the official Bangs forum). We've had sleepless nights waiting for the release of his debut album and by the grace of god here it is! Featuring the smash hit single Take U To Da Movies this highly anticipated mast...

Here it is. The mixtape Mr. Ortiz recorded while on the K.O.D. Tour last month with Slaughterhouse. Teaming up with in house producer Frequency, they banged out a lovely collection of freestyles to hold us over until new projects from the team next year. As a bonus I included the behind the scenes look at his new video with Novel titled "Call Me." ...

Well, out of all the leaks from Lil Wayne's Rebirth album this one has to be the best one. For one, he actually decides to kick a few bars instead of whining the whole entire track. And two, Eminem jumps on and doesn't disappoint. Flow wise and lyrically Em' destroys this track very easily. Pick the world up, and drop it on your head if you sleep o...

Looks like everybody is not blackballing Chris Brown after all. Juelz Santana tapped Chris for his latest video "Back To The Crib", guess what the song is about? (ha). DJ Envy makes a quick cameo at the start of the video as well. The song is already an "all dayer" on the radio in the NY area, I expect the video to do the same....

Coming off of his latest album Street Hop, Royce is ready to get it popping with the Bar Exam 3 mixtape. In this new track he spits on the Clipse popular demand beat. Royce completely goes in on this track, this reminds me of why he is my favorite Slaughterhouse member. Look out for the shots fired at Canibus and Benzino in this too. ...

If you thought Lupe's song "Solar Midnight" for the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack was a surprise in itself, then prepared to be floored. Mr. Lupe Fiasco is releasing a music video along with it. I'm pretty eclectic as far as music goes so I thought the song was pretty dope. It is better than most MCs' attempts at making a rock song at the very leas...

New video "Say Something" from Timbaland featuring Drake from his Shock Value 2 album. This wack collab is the supposed to be the hit that a Drake feature promises right? I like the beginning of the video reminds me of the old videos from the 90's with a bunch of dudes chilling out and having a good time. Like Wu Tang, or how about when Jay Z and B...

This is 50 Cent's second single off of his latest album Before I Self Destruct. The video features 50 Cent getting up close and personal with three dime pieces, Tahiry (Joe Budden's ex), Vivica Fox (50's ex) and Tamala Jones....

As an early Christmas gift to their fans, Kidz in the Hall are giving away free music. L-R-G and Kidz in the Hall have teamed up to bring you a Free EP of music featuring 13 brand new original tracks. These songs were recorded during the last month of their national tour. The EP entitled, The Professional Leisure Tour, serves as a prelude to their ...

Rather you are a Lil Wayne fan or not, it is hard to argue with the fact that he really has put together a great lineup of artist on his record label "Young Money Entertainment." With artist such as Jae Millz, Drake, Tyga, Lil Wayne, and my favorite female artist Nicki Minaj, they are certainly poised to make an impact in the industry. If you reall...

Here is a download link for that Adult Swim & Rockstar colabo mixtape we mentioned yesterday. The mixtape features an ATL feel with 16 original remixes from artists like Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Cee Lo, Lil Jon, Gucci Mane, Gorilla Zoe & Shawty Lo. Big Props to Adult Swim & Rockstar for putting this tape together Click Here To Do...

The Mirrors Edge rapper 'XV' takes a few minutes to speak on his unreleased projects as well as his recent ones. Speaks on how he got into rap and what inspires him as well. I found it funny how he and Nipsey Hustle had a conversation about Final Fantasy. After this interview I'm definitely more of a fan of XV. Peep the full video below. Big ups...

Rockstar Games is teaming up with Adult Swim for a mixtape that can be downloaded for free on Dec. 7th.  through the end of the year. The tape is noted to have a focus on up and coming artist. Really? So Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Cee Lo, Lil Jon, Gucci Mane, Gorilla Zoe, Shawty Lo, ok you get my point. The tape really is about the original remixes m...

Check out some new hotness from the self proclaimed PLK (Punch-Line-King) Lloyd Banks. On this one he spits over the Slaughterhouse Microphone beat, he's got some nice lines in there so pay attention. It's just a shame his voice kind of changed, the old Bank's voice would have sound so much better on this beat. Look out for his mixtape V5, dropping...

I had to jump on and make sure i showcased a video for our readers from the South. If I don't do it, it won't be done as the rest of the editors here continue to nut hug on artist from the east coast. Well before GUCCI!! heads off to incarceration and the December 8th release of his Mixtape "The State vs Radric Davis" he decided to show us a new s...

Kanye leads with the most nominations this year. Surprised? I am, because I don't understand how a nigga who sang his whole album through auto tune can lead in rap nominations. Also there's a certain kid here named Drake whose song from a damn mixtape got a nomination. No hate though. I Guess that Slaughterhouse album didn't have enough buzz to at ...
