Emilio Rojas, "Breaking Point" from Erojasmanagement on Vimeo.

Emilio Rojas is a talented emcee.  One of the newer dudes on the scene who I check in on from time to time.  He has a really nice flow and a distinctive voice.  Here is his video for the title track his upcoming project “Breaking Point” presented By DJ Green Lantern and Billionaire Boys Club. This was filmed in Europe while on tour by Zerotrois.


STS is on the same list as Emilio.  He goes hard on a track.  This is his video for, "Cliche'."  I admire his rapid fire delivery and the bravado that comes through in his voice.

Jean Grae and Talbi Kweli with the extended  cut of their video, "Uh Oh."  Two well respected pillars of the hip hop scene.  Jean is on the top of my female emcee, list even though she hates the differentiation.  Talib is on my top emcee list overall.  Both are signed to Talib's Blacksmith label.

Lana Del Rey's video for “Video Games.”  Nice mixing of old footage with the new.

Mixtape Roundup: Hip Hop

Here is a Jean Grae mixtape that dropped a while ago. I haven't given it a listen, mixtape tags bug the shit out of me. But Jean is a solid lyricist sponsered by Talib and signed to his Blacksmith label. She has put out some of my favorite songs, and no not just favorite songs from a female emcee, I mean favorite songs regardless of gender. Her work with Blue Sky Black Death was head noddingly fantastic.

Grab the mix here.

Peter Gunz of Uptown Baby, we get's down baby fame's son has been putting out tracks for quite awhile now.  He may also have a reality show, but that could have just been a bad dream, since like most of my nightmares I think Nick Cannon was in it.  Anyway here is a mixtape that he put out a month or so back.  Grab it from Nahright.com, here

Weezy F. Baby, don't forget the Baby!!!  This dropped a while ago as well.  I am sure real Wayne fans have gotten their grubby paws on it by now.  If you are late to the party or are wondering why anyone would forget the baby and just who this Weezy person is then you can download the mix right here.

I read an article where Bumpy said that he took some married lady who was trolling for a "dangerous" one night stand back to her hotel where he proceeded to sleep with her.  Afterward he stole her shit and jumped out the window.  That's just one of the reasons I am a fan of Bumpy.  He was also blowing up Solar all over the internet after Guru's passing.  He is a solid dude, who will rob you while you are in the shower, a man of contradictions and quality raps.  Grab his mixtape

Instrumental mixtape from DJ Burnone.  Now I can stop bugging Premier for beats.  You want how much!!???
