Fashion: Air Jordan Six Rings - Motorsports


The new Air Jordan Six Rings are getting closer and closer to their drop date Saturday, March 6. I am going to try hard to get these shoes on that date because I love the design of the Six Ring, and I like this colorway.
Click the jump for more pictures..

Music: JD ERA FEAT. DRAKE-ROCK N ROLL


In case you missed JD Era's last mixtape Th1rt3en you probably never hear this banger. So, I am going to post this track from the mixtape that is featuring Drake n produced by Boi-1da and when you hear it you will want to get the whole mixtape because he kills it.
Download Jd Era Feat. Drake - Rock n Roll

Music: Hot Rod ft. Trey Songz - Back It Up (Prod. By Bangladash)


Hot Rod drops a hot track with Trey Songz on the chorus and Bangladash as the producer. It is kind of just a club song but Hot Rod goes in on it and doesnt disappoint.

Video: Soulja Boy - All Black Everything


Yep Soulja Boy made another music video. Not much to say about this besides that this song is better than the pretty boy swag. Watch it if you like Soulja boy's sound. Props to WSHH.

Video: Young Jerz - No Gimmicks


Young Jerz drops a music video on what he is in the rap game and who he is. It is a cool track but to tell you all the truth his flow is'nt that good. Sounds kind of tired and boring to me but tell me what yall think. Shout out to OnSmash.

Jennifer Hudson - Can't Help Who You Love


New Jennifer Hudson song. She sings beautifully in it so give it a listen.

Music: Nivea - Dance Floor


Nivea finally dropped another song, and it is ok. I don't really like the way she sings on it and to me it sounds kind of Ciara'ish. It is a nice track, produced by Bangaledesh (lol if that is how you spell it) Tell me what you guys think. Download after the jump.

Music: Maino - I'm Sorry (Feat. Alicia Keys)


Maino makes a song with Alicia Keys on a track produced by Cool and Dre, and I have to say it is a cool tack. To tell you the truth I have never been to big of a fan of Maino, but on this song I like the way he collaborates with Keys (especially on the hook). It is a nice song and you should give it a list to after the jump.

Music: Serious Jones - Reefer, Pills, Henney


Serious Jones drops his version of "Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley". He goes in on it so give it a listen, especially if you are a Jones fan. Download after jump...

Music: Ja Rule ft. R.Kelly - Incredible


 Ja Rule released a new joint with R.Kelly named Incredible. Kelly really only sings on the choruses but Ja Rule seems like he hasn't really fell of since years ago. Well at least by that I mean he sounds just as good as he was years ago, which can be a bad or good thing in a way. I wonder if he will be trying to drop an album this year?
Download after jump

Music: CeCe Segarra ft. Gucci Mane - Go Your Own Way


Yep it is another song featuring Gucci Mane. Actually this song isn't that bad, and I never really heard of Cece Segarra but she sings pretty good. I will have to listen to some more songs by her to make a real decision. Tell me what you guys think about her and this collab.

Mixtape: Darnell Williams - Get Well Soon


Ok i was looking around and I found Darnell Williams' latest mixtape. It is called Get Well Soon and he dropped it a couple weeks ago. Click the jump for track list and download.


Video: Darnell Williams - My Life



A new music video by Darnell Williams named My Life, directed by Mike Carson. I am not going to lie I haven't really heard much about this rapper but I like his flow and what he is rapping about so far. Also, it is good to see some new young rappers coming out. When i find more of him I will post, but as of now tell me what you guys think of him.

Music: Bobby V f. Nicki Minaj – Stilettos & T-Shirt


Bobby V and Nicki Minaj make a song to a Fat-Boi produced track. It is a Bobby V'ish track and if you liked his old music you will probably like this. If not you can still listen to it for the Nicki Minaj verse.
Bobby V-Stilettos T-Shirt Feat. Nicki Minaj
Props to YHTN.

Fashion: Nike Air Max 90 - Black/Silver


These shoes make another to the Air Max 90 collways that have been dropping recently. The Black/White/Silver Air Max 90 is a must have ( for me at least) because it will go with almost anything.
More pictures and where to get after the jump

Video: Soulja Boy - Pretty Boy Swag


Yea so i like the beat to this music video lol. I have no idea why no one told Soulja Boy his lyrics were not on point and it sounds like he is running out of breath, but that is just my opinion so tell me what you guys think. Lol only had one female in the video compared to the 20 other men in it.

Video: Skooda Chose - Rap Ish

Skooda Chose, Chicago native, goes in on a taping of a freestyle with a grimey flow. I really like the way he raps hard on this east type beat, and I might have to post more of him when he drops new music. Here is a little quote from FSD about Skooda and the video:

One of chicago rising emcees, returning with a visual off his up coming mixtape top five material pt2 "im dancing" dropping march 9th! The video takes you to the heart of Chicago to the notorious area, called "K-Town" where Skooda reigns supreme. What was really just suppose to be a taping of a freestyle turned into an actual video with over 100 people showing in freezing weather! The track rapshit was produced by up and coming rapper/producer F.A.B.L.E directed by James walker, James kruml,Chris Robinson...

Video: Menace - Blood Niggaz Feat. Lil Wayne Mitchy Slick


New Blood Niggaz music video dropped by Menace and of course Lil Wayne is in it. Lol this guy reminds me of The Game. Tell me what you guys think about it.

Music: Freddie Gibbs - Slammin


XXL 2010 Freshman, Freddie Gibbs, has released another song named 'Slammin' from his upcoming mixtape, Str8 Killa No Filla. He has a good east coast beat in the song and delivers with a hard flow. Be on the lookout for more songs from Freddie, which will most likely be a lot, in the future.

Video: The Kid Daytona Feat. Tiara Wiles - The Minimum


The Kid Daytona drops a new music video with Tiara Wiles named 'The Minimum'. Don't think just because the song is named The Minimum that Daytona will only put the minimal ammount of effort in the song. However, it is a short song but he comes hard over the smooth beat.

Shout out to XXL

Music: Lil Jon - Get In, Get Out


Lil Jon has a new song will be on his new 'Crunk Rock' album. It will be his first post-TVT, his old label, and just first album in about 4 years. He really has just been producing for other artist and going on remixes forever, and I wonder if his next album will actually be good. I guess we'll all find out June 8 when he drops it via Universal Republic Records.
Well anyways enough of me talking click the Jump for the single.

Music:Tayma Loren


I was looking around at some more music today and I came across Tayma Loren. You may remember her from the song she had with The Dream not a long time ago named "Tipsy". Well, she is back with another song, Slow Grindin', and I really enjoyed listening to it so I thought why not share it. Lol she kind of looks like Eve to me in that picture.
Listen to the song after the Jump

Track list and download after the jump.

XXL Freshman 2010 #8 Oj Juice Man


Well, I really did not see this coming lol. This video shows Oj da Juice Man spitting a freestyle for a bout 15 seconds and he ends it with one of his famous AYEs! I guess he does deserve to be on this because Oj does have his own natural flow that no one else is touching, and I think he is the only rapper that could rap like that and get listened to. Gotta respect him in a way I guess for sticking true to himself and not trying to change for anyone, but I still think he needs to step his lyrics up a bit because the other XXL freshmen seem like they could rap circles around him.

Video: Fonzworth Bentley - Fireside Chat


Cool.Outrageous.Lovers.Of.Uniquely.Raw.Style!!!!!! Yep Mr. Fonzworth Bentley is back with a new song and music video. It is a decent song with a very heavy meaning which is dedicated two Black History Month.

Video: Waka Flocka Flame Isn't Worried


Waka Flocka speaks with MTV about the shooting incident that had recently happened and about the alleged culprits' picture on the internet with his stolen chain.
“I don’t know [if it was actually the gunman] ’cause I didn’t even see who shot me,” Flocka responded sarcastically when asked about his thoughts on the photo. “I thought a dog shot me. I thought a bird shot me. It’s stupid.”
Pshhhh yea right.

Monica kills it on this track and I can't wait till here album. The video and her voice are both on point, and I'm glad she's finally coming back.

Donnis - HHO Artist Of The Week


Donnis is a upcoming artist from ATL, Georgia. He tells exactly what his sound is and who influenced him. He wants to take the spotlight out of trap music and show that not everyone is selling drugs in Atlanta. He seems good so far, and probably going to see more of this ATL native soon.

Video: Johnny Polygon “The Riot Song”


Johnny Polygon drops a new music video featuring a song of his new mixtape Rebel Without Applause. I think this guy has talent, but I like the video over the track to tell you the the truth. It is a very creative video using cut-outs and colors. Let me know if you think he is good.

Video: Travis McCoy Lockerz


Travis McCoy, Gym Class Heroes, shows his sneaker head side in Fight Club. They got the chance the question him about his favorite shoes, what women should wear, and even about how many he buys. The music and fashion industry has always been closely tied together and i doubt that is going to change this year. Though...that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Shout out to NK
