Red Cafe Talks New Mixtape Hosted By Diddy
“The new mixtape is on the way. This new mixtape is gonna be so tough. It’s hosted by Diddy; it’s gonna be crazy. Something special. You gonna have freestyles on there, original records on there you never heard… Every record on here is brand new. Everything was designed totally for this tape.”
“The album, I definitely gotta take care of the streets,” said Red, a veteran in the rap game. “My core, they’ve been riding with me for however long, but my core wants to see me take it to the next level. I wanna deliver those next-level records to make sure we stay in the penthouse, not the lobby. I think they wanna see that growth. You spoon-feed them, you don’t wanna jump all the way out the there. They might be a little afraid of that. I try to find a nice medium.”
Personally I can't wait Red Cafe is a favorite of mine and I've been waiting on something from Red Cafe ever since his Eviction Notice mixtape!

Scott Storch Recovering From Cocaine Addiction, $30 Million Loss
"Scott Storch isn’t dead. He’s not in jail. The famed producer isn’t even on the run from the police, as you may have heard through the grapevine over the past year. Storch has been focusing on rebuilding his life, because he did, in fact, hit rock bottom.Lost in a three-year cocaine-abusing haze, he lost more money than most people reading this story will see in five lifetimes: $30 million. Yes, he blew almost his entire fortune on coke, cars, houses, lavish trips, partying and a series of what he calls “poor judgment decisions.”…But he has come out of his white-powder fog. The producer says he is in recovery, and, as people who love his music will be elated to hear, he’s back making music. On Wednesday night, MTV News caught up with the Grammy winner, who at one time could do no wrong in the studio as he supplied classic beats, not mere hits, for people like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Fat Joe and BeyoncĂ©.“I’m taking it back to square one,” he said, sitting in a Miami studio. The boards in the factory displayed his name and his publishing company, Tuff Jew. “I found myself slipping a little bit,” he said with a very anxious look on his face. “I got involved in doing drugs. I had to get myself into recovery. Being in the life that I was living — very fast-moving, option to do anything you want, go anywhere you wanna go — it definitely takes its toll on you, and you lose your concept of reality. I had to get it under control. I had to take it back to the beginning and back to the Hit Factory, where I made a lot of my hits.”Storch is currently living in a three-quarter house, where he is supervised by a live-in counselor but allowed to go to work in the studio as long as he’s back by curfew."

Young Chris Freestyle on Batcave Radio!
Man Young Chris has really been hitting the ground running trying to bring Roc-A-Fella back. But with freestyles like this he might do it by himself until Blueprint 3 comes out
Drake- Best I Ever Had
Okay for all you that heard So Far Gone, you already know about this track and its probably one of your favorites off the entire mixtape like it is mine. But recently since Drake hit NY the songs been gaining in popularity, and the clean radio version has been released. This clean version has raised a debate about whether or not the new version is better than the original dirty one. This is my first time where i think the clean might be more catchy. The clean version censors it chopping up the hook so it says "you the, you the best" instead of "you the fucking best." But since i heard the song live (that show was crazy) I have to say the clean is more catchy. The only downside to the dope clean version is the verse censors out some dope lines so i have the clean version, the dirty version, the remix with busta rhymes, and the clean chorus with the dirty verse.

Clinton Sparks and Chester French Presents: Jacques Jams “Vol.1: Endurance”
Okay it took me a little longer than usual to come up with a final verdict on this tape which explains the delay but the ruling is in...............Jacques Jams “Vol.1: Endurance” is legit. Chester French is a refreshing new group that is cosigned by heavy weights such as Pharrell, Kanye West, Jadakiss, N.O.R.E., Mickey Factz, Diddy (aka Ciroc Obama), Common, Pusha T, Janell Monae, Bun B, Solange, Talib Kweli, Wale, Kardinall Offishall and more. With endorsements like that you gotta know this group is something special. But the skits were hilarious and the songs were legit. It seems to be an accurate portrayal of the life of someone who starts music for the love but as time passes they get caught up in the lifestyle which causes them to lose focus and in the end effects the music. I especially like the skit ft Cassie talking about how hot girls were out of their league before the fame. But this tape is basically perfection, the songs follow the story line and the collaborations make perfect sense. So check it out and give some feedback.

Mos Def Says Jay, Kanye, Wayne Can’t Beat Him In A Battle
In my opinion Mos is nice and he's deep but Jay-Z shown that witty intellect too so personally I'm gonnna have to go with Jay-Z. I also think Cassidy would body Mos because Mos is a concious rapper and Cass is a battle rapper. I also think the 2 most underrated rappers ever (Malice & Pusha T) could take him.

A-Game straight from T-Dot
This is a new group called A-Game straight out of Toronto Canada. In all honesty even though I live across the pond (the great lakes) from Canada I've always played off artist from Canada, including Drake for a short period of time. But since Drake was able to pleasantly surprise me and prove me wrong I decided to give A-Game a chance so here are 2 new tracks from them including their new single and video.

Charles Hamilton Hater Roll
CHI-ILL - FUCK CHARLES HOMOTIN (CHARLES HAMILTON
The Hamilton vs Spade beat fiasco
....STFU Charles Hamilton
My response: dude who the hell are you haha?!?! what have you done w/ your life that allows you to talk about his production. You say that your a producer but real talk what beat have you made. No hate I mean I don't even know who you are but thats just how I look at it. In the end no one is gonna know for sure who made this beat but if your not involved dont try to get involved.
Charles Hamilton Shut Up dude
My opinion: another dude who I'm like who the hell are you. I mean for real though I mean no offense but what have you done with your life that allows you to say anything at all. I mean honestly I couldnt even understand the words that were coming out of your mouth Lee (Rush Hour reference). He's coming talking about soulja boy money when theres no proof you have any money what so ever. All in all you get put on hush mode because you didnt have any backing to what you said.
Rhymefest analyzes Charles Hamilton
My opinion: honestly at this point I believe Rhymefest is playing himself a little bit. I agree maybe to an extent Charles Hamilton was a little bit whack but either way I don't get why this nigga is making Charles Hamilton's life his concern. But whatever Industry niggas are funny to me.
Who's Charles Hamilton?
Response: Okay this one is kind of funny, for the first time there was no hate what so ever. The nigga was just asking straight up "who is Charles Hamilton?" Now honestly I think he does know who he is he was just trying to heat. Haha but it was still pretty hilarious.
Charles Hamilton Is A Gaybo
Rick Ross Enlists Lil Wayne For 50 Cent Diss Track ‘Valley Of Death’
We already knew that Wayne joins Kanye West and T-Pain on Ross’ “Maybach Music 2,” but the Bawse revealed to us that Weezy will also be featured on “Valley of Death.” A snippet of the song was released online recently, and Ross disses 50 Cent on his part. There’s no word yet on what Wayne raps about, but Ross said the New Orleans superstar’s verse was easy to get because of their friendship.
” ‘Valley of Death,’ that concept was just, that’s really what it is — every day I get up and live the life that I live. Do the things I do. Move how I move,” Ross added. “Walking in the valley of death, I feel my life is on the line every day. It’s a 50/50 chance.”
For his part, Lil Wayne has stayed away from any type of quarreling with 50 thus far. In fact, he has chosen to not address 50’s attacks against him.
Another person Rick has been working with is 50 nemesis Ja Rule. Rule is on the remix of “Mafia Music,” the record that sparked the G-Unit/ Rick Ross beef. “Ja Rule is on the record,” he said. “Y’all gotta lay around for it.”

Young Chris-Industry Girl
This is a new song by Young Chris called Industry Girl. I like this kind of music and I'm happy to see some depth from Young Chris. This is the kind of music that goes deeper than the usual glitz and glamour of the music business, but Chris takes it a little bit deeper and uses a girl an "Industry Girl" as a metaphore for the music business
