Here is the remix to DJ Khaled’s first single off of his new album Victory. He has now added more people to any already feature-heavy record. I’ve never been a big fan of posse cuts, but I guess this is okay. Not the strongest DJ Khaled record I’ve heard.

“Our Dreams” is the first single off of the Def Jam release by Wu-Tang Clan members Method Man, Ghostface, and Raekwon called . The album is called Wu-Tang Presents… Wu-Massacre.
Via RapRadar. Looks like the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA has confirmed via Twitter that he will be producing the GZA’s entire album entitled Liquid Swords 2. I think a lot of people have been waiting for a full album produced by the RZA. It should be a good year for the return of 90s era hip hop. If you haven’t noticed, Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Linx came out… and did surprisingly well. Capone N Noreaga’s War Report 2 is coming out this Summer. Sadat X’s Wild Cowboys 2 is coming out… I think everyone is trying to recapture that 90s era sound. Should be interesting.
Eminem drops a freestyle over Drake’s “Over” and Lloyd Bank’s “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley” prior to the release of his first official single “Not Afraid” debuting this Thursday on Angela Yee’s Sirius/XM radio show. I’m glad Eminem is not using that weird accent anymore. via RapRadar.

VA Beach seems like a breeding ground for dope hip hop/pop producers. Of course you’ve heard of Teddy Riley, The Neptunes, Timbaland, and Danjahandz… I’m from Virginia and I spent a good deal of time working at Teddy Riley’s Future Recording Studios. Nottz has always been pretty active in the music world… He’s produced records for Drake, Busta Rhymes, Skillz, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, The Game, Asher Roth, etc. This is a viral video he made for his upcoming solo album.
This is the first single from Ice Cube’s 9th studio album “I Am The West.” This single debuted on LA’s Power 106 earlier today. Word is that Dr. Dre will also be producing on Ice Cube’s new album… via HipHop-N-More.

So the first time I ever heard of Red Cafe was in my younger days in law school. I somehow managed to weasel my way into VIP at some club in Miami, and by the end of it… I found myself sitting on a couch next to P Diddy. I was just about to speak to him when Red Cafe’s manager breaks in and says “yo Diddy, I just want to tell you about my new artist Red Cafe!!!” Next thing you know, Diddy talks to him for a minute and then gets up and walks out of the room… Now I see that Red Cafe is signed to Bad Boy, and I never ended up speaking to P Diddy. LOL. Anyways, this is a great record… Props to Red Cafe. Check it out.
