The hook master of the mid-2000′s comes together with the go-to hook man of 2012 (though he contributes a verse instead), as Akon returns to the music scene courtesy of a French Montana assist.
The track seems to have Akon back on his motivational, ‘rise and grind’ style, which I’m sure was the preferred period of his material for most non-mainstream fans. Featuring yet another stadium status hook, Akon brings forth some hip-hop inspired lyricism alongside his trademark deliveries, and whilst its hardly groundbreaking, it’s a surprisingly refreshing listen in today’s dance-dominated environment.
The video is fairly gritty and violent, with the feature scenes being Akon involved in a cage fight with a Kimbo Slice-alike, giving the video the edge and sense of realism that has been sorely lacking from his material over the last few years.
It’s certainly a more grown-up clip, and will undoubtedly appeal to those who longed for the Locked Up version of Akon to return. Worth a watch for sure, and let’s hope he sticks with this lane.

A hard-hitting, grimey instrumental and 2/3 of the LOX? The combination promises much for the hip-hop heads, and it definitely delivers.
From Jada’s upcoming Consignment mixtape, the production has a real dark aura around it, blending some horror-esque melodies with pounding bass, sharp additional percussion and packaging them into a slow, menacing pace that enhances the atmosphere of the track. Wale opens the track with a disappointing verse, largely as his style doesn’t suit the beat at all, though Styles and Jada recover the song well with their verses, whilst French’s string of hook features continues here with another simple yet catchy chorus.

When Rick Ross is in work mode there’s probably not a lot of rappers who work as hard as him. His recent mixtape was filled with such quality tracks and production that it’d be easy to mistake it for an actual album!
These visuals are for a track off that tape, a track of high topic featuring Drake and French Montana. Why are people talking about this track? Aside from it sounding good, Drake fires off some alleged subliminals at Common. Given that French Montana confirmed that Drake had done the verse just a few weeks ago, it’s pretty likely that it is. Peep the track and the visuals on the left here.

What a line up. Here’s DJ Suss One’s latest drop from his upcoming album, The Feature Presentation. Production on this is has that epic sound to it, which is perfect for Jada, Banks and Montana to flex their lyrical and bravado-filled muscles.
Not much else to talk about here, other than the seemingly pointless feature from Floyd Mayweather (just give us that super-fight we all want already!). It’s your standard decent posse cut right here, those who enjoy that sort of thing (like me) will enjoy it, those who don’t, won’t.

As Waka Flocka gears us up for the release of his new (and rather catchy!) single, No Hands, on April 18th, he comes through with a free download for us to sink our teeth into until then. Featuring respected New York rapper French Montana (as well some other randoms), this is a track predictably tailored to be played loudly and/or in the whip.
Produced by Lex Luger; so you know this goes H.A.M. Download link below.

This has club banger wrote all over it. Noreaga teams up with French Montana and Joell Ortiz to give us Sun Tzu, named after the famous Chinese military general (that’s as much of a history lesson as you’re likely to get from me!).
As for the track itself, lyrically it doesn’t really offer up anything special, but with a beat like this you don’t need it to. It’s all about the thumping bass and the catchy hook (I’m going to be sat here all night aawwwoooooo’ing now). When Joell jumps on, the track improves tenfold, though I’m not really a massive Noreaga fan so I may be being a little biased here. Definitely one to be played at full volume.

A slew of talented New York rappers for this posse cut (we’ll pretend Cassidy isn’t from Philly, as lyrically it’s like he’s from NY anyway).
No hook on this one, just each rapper with a verse to showcase their lyrical dexterity and/or street cred. Best verse I hear you ask? I’d probably give it to either Joell or Vado.

I didn’t get a chance to check this out when it first dropped, and I’m glad I didn’t now as the no DJ version of the mixtape has surfaced.

Old favourite of mine collaborates with a new favourite of mine. Surprisingly this track is a lot more mellow than I expected it to be. Both Rappers trade some nice bars, but I kind of wanted to hear them spaz out on a more hard-hitting beat though.

Nice KRS-One sample on a truly New York song. French Montana has been impressing me more and more with each song I hear of his, he flows to perfection to this beat…and it wouldn’t really be a New York anthem without Fat Joe on board now would it? Go grab this below.

I don’t know why, but I wasn’t expecting much before listening to this…how wrong I was. Styles P and friends go hard on this excellently produced track with a nice addictive chorus too.
