1982 (Statik Selektah & Temanology) ft. Freddie Gibbs & Crooked I - Make It Out Alive


Latest drop from the Boston emcee and the hardest-working producer in the game. This can be found on their upcoming aptly-titled project 2012 which hits stores on May 22nd. This has got that military feel to it, slightly up tempo and sharp keys to boot. The verses are on point and each hold their own whilst Crooked exercises his lyrical muscle as to be expected.

Freddie Gibbs-National Anthem [Official Dubstep Remix]

“New Orleanian DJ/producer Quickie Mart presents the official, Gibbs-approved remix of “National Anthem”. Quickie Mart’s three-volume Haze Diaries mixtape series with NY rapper Gotham Green features Gibbs as well as Planet Asia, El Prez, Sum, IamOmni and more. His Gypsyphonic Disko mixtape features Chali 2na, Juvenile and Gift Of Gab and blends New Orleans bounce, klezmer, hip hop and Balkan music.”

This was very unexpected; dubstep + US hip hop isn’t something you’d associate with each other really. Even more surprising is for Freddie Gibbs to be remixed in this fashion as his sound is very much a throwback to the classic 90s hip hop that Murray and myself love, (Freddie Gibbs being a rapper whose music I do enjoy a lot).

I’m not really sure this works though to be perfectly honest (in fairness whilst I do enjoy some dubstep I’m not a massive fan of it), but this could well be a grower. You can hear and decide for yourself to the left and go grab the mp3 for this by clicking here.

Freddie Gibbs/Bun B – Oil Money [Video]

Plus a few other artists that I couldn’t fit into the title. Off that Str8 Killa EP, this is a track I was loving when it leaked and still loving now – so I’m delighted that they’ve made a video for it!

Audio <------- go get it, (if you missed it the first time numpty).

Freddie Gibbs/Bun B/Chuck Inglish/Chip Tha Ripper/Dan Auerbach – Oil Money


Some real quality chilled out hip-hop to take you through this morning. Loving the vibe to this track, with some very good verses by each rapper on this beat. This is the closing track on Freddie Gibbs upcoming Str8 Killa EP, which is out August 3rd.

XXL 10 Freshman Mixtape


Most of y’all should be familiar with the XXL 10 Freshman thing they do. Last year’s was great, and they were pretty much spot on with them all. I can’t say I know as much about 2 or 3 of this year’s 10, but expect a lot from the ones I am familiar with. I do however find the inclusion of OJ Da Juiceman in a ‘serious’ list to be ridiculous (quiet down Tempest!). For those who haven’t yet checked out who’s in this year, click here.

Anyway, this is a mixtape full of new tracks from these guys and will 100% be worth grabbing. Some of these guys are definitely going to blow up this year, so don’t miss out.
