Straight off of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, When theBREAX Sold out, Hip-Hop band theBREAX have released the video for “Two Miles an Hour.”

I mentioned the other day in our post of I Am… Original Samples, that I Am was originally supposed to be a double album entitled I Am… The Autobiography.

Last week Krome had a request in the forum for a mega mix of some of the remixes floating around for Lil Wayne’s “A Millie”. I decided to break out my alter-ego, DJ Kevy Kev, and hook this one up for her. In return, Krome hooked up this amazing cover that I just had to [...]

“Praverb speaks on reality every time he is in presence of a microphone.” These are the words I read in the media package that contained the album by Praverb, Center of Attention. His pride in speaking about what is right in front of our eyes but not seen by everyone is [...]

I don’t normally do political posts here on the site, but I am a firm supporter of Barack Obama. My man J. Brookinz hit me up with a track he just finished with his boy Alpha. It’s more or less a hip-hop biography of our hopeful next President.
J. Brookinz is probably best known [...]
