[MP3] Birdman Feat. Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan – Lifestyle

Is Birdman gonna turn Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan into the next Drake and Lil Wayne??

[MP3] Wiz Khalifa – Word On The Town feat. Pimp C of UGK / On A Plane

Still kind of taking it in unlike many who have probably rendered snap judgements and moved on in this social media/blog/internet era we live in but on first blush, I thought the new 28 Grams mixtape by Wiz Khalifa was just OK. Fellow Pitt MC, Mac Miller‘s kind of getting the nod for his new Faces mixtape album over this tbh. Here’s a couple of the most notable cuts from the project though the first of which, “Word on the Town” features the absolutely legendary Pimp C of UGK. Hip-Hop really needs that dude about now, seriously. What you think of what you hear though??

[MP3] Lil Wayne – Believe Me feat. Drake

You know, I always thought Drake sounded better when he was going in over harder hip-hop beats instead of the warmed over 808s-esque/electronic soul gruel he tends to fill his albums with (and has admittedly made the de facto, non-trap/South hip-hop sound on radio for the past five years) and this Lil Wayne joint that he’s featured on (supposedly the first single from Tha Carter V) proves my point yet again.

[MP3] Travi$ Scott feat. Big Sean + The 1975 – Don’t Play

Don’t have much to say about this one except I really dig it and despite being underrated (by myself included) Big Sean does manage to stay on hot records.

[MP3] Chase and Status – Machine Gun feat. Pusha T

This EDM-meets-hip-hop track is cool but it needs more track Pusha T IMHO….
