We should probably tell you right now that this is no Trap Or Die 2, a mixtape so ferocious that it’ll easily be regarded as one of the best of the year. Instead, we have Jeezy (in preparation for the highly anticipated Thug Motivation 103) taking on some of the most recognised — and let’s [...]

I was going to say something insightful about how Young Jeezy has seemingly mastered the perfect ratio between releasing solid mixtapes and great albums, but just download the damn thing already. [Download it via Nah Right] //

There is something undeniable about this song. It could be Fat Joe and Jeezy’s owe-nothing-to-nobody flows, or the fact that they seem to be having a lot of fun with the track (see Fat Joe’s “I’ll be the motherfucker uglier than Precious” line or Jeezy’s “Avatar blue” one).

If this is what we can expect from The Darkside then bring it on. Not to mention, TM103. Also, how come this Soul II Soul sample hasn’t been used more often? I mean, goddamn J.R. Rotem used it and no-one else touched it until now. Ha Ha has surprisingly good results considering Fat Joe has [...]

UPDATE: The official Rated R tracklisting (with a very debatable Slash appearance) has been added below the jump — Okay, now we’re talking. Another new song from Rihanna’s upcoming album Rated R leaked today. Hard doesn’t necessarily sound like single material but at least we’re headed in the right direction. The song was produced by [...]

Dude never ceases to surprise me with the way that he can take the most mundane hook on paper and turn it in to something huge like this. ‘I Got This (Don’t Worry)’ is rumoured to be included on Jeezy’s upcoming album ‘Thug Motivation 103,’ the follow-up to to last years excellent ‘The Recession.’ Although [...]
