• Rich Homie Quan, Yo Gotti Appear on SBOE's 'Better Than Them' [LISTEN]

    Queens hip-hop group SBOE — Slow Bucks Over Everything — have shared a new track titled "Better Than Them," featuring guest appearances by Rich Homie Quan, Yo Gotti and Boosie Badazz, which you can check out below. According to "Hot New Hip-Hop," this track originally appeared earlier this year on an SBOE mixtape, only without the guest spots from Quan, Gotti and Boosie, so this seems like a deliberate attempt to turn this into a hit. The hook is decent enough, so it might actually work — though the "Scarface" sample at the beginning is almost laughably clichéd at this point in the history of hip-hop.

  • Rich Homie Quan, Young Thug Guest on Nipsey Hussle's "Choke" [LISTEN]

    Nipsey Hussle's new mixtape, 'Mailbox Money,' is set to drop tomorrow, Dec. 31, but if that's too long for you to wait for new music, Nipsey has shared a new song titled "Choke" featuring Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan, which you can check out here. The song features some heavy-hitting, dramatic production from London On Da Track and opens with a lengthy sample of Samuel L. Jackson's climactic speech from "Pulp Fiction." The vocals don't seem to be mixed very well though and often rise uncomfortably far above the beat.
  • Suge Knight Praises Lil Wayne, Threatens Drake in Interview

    Suge Knight had an interesting interview recently with TMZ in which he discussed his New Year's resolutions, Lil Wayne and Drake. He also mentioned Tupac Shakur. The video is a little unsettling considering the former Death Row Records CEO seems to be making some threats. Hopefully, Suge was just joking, but he does not strike me as one who likes to laugh. Suge is sporting a festive sweater in the video below, puffing on his signature cigar. The most surprising part of the interview is that the Black Kapital Records head would even talk to TMZ — which has caught him in some unflattering moments before. But he does, and the results are chilling. "I'm gonna make sure everybody gets their justice," he says after a brief pause. "It's a year for getting even." He does not elaborate on that, but it probably has something to do with Suge getting shot at Chris Brown's pre-VMA party in August. But he said it was not important who shot him, so who knows? "I don't think that's really important, who pulled the trigger and who I seen pulled the trigger," Knight told TMZ in a previous interview. "I think that I'm doing extremely well. I'm happy to be doing well and whatever happens, happens." When asked about a recent Tupac documentary, Suge urges real fans of the rapper to start asking questions and "be more aggressive."
  • Birdman, Young Thug Featured In Dej Loaf's "Blood" Music Video [WATCH]

    Detroit rapper, Dej Loaf, has shared the music video for her song "Blood," featuring Young Thug and Birdman, which you can check out here. The Be El Be-directed clip finds the three rappers partying and chilling in a few different locations, both indoors and outdoors. It's worth noting that Dej appears to be the only woman in the video, which is appropriate since the song is all about how she has no "hoe in her blood" or any "in her circle."
  • Rich Homie Quan Shares 'Ain't Trippin'' Feat. Young Thug, 'Blah Blah Blah' Remix [LISTEN]

    Fresh off the success of their recent Rich Gang mixtape, Atlanta rappers Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug have shared a new collaborative track titled "Ain't Trippin'," which you can check out below. It is not clear if this is a leftover from their Rich Gang sessions, though it could also be a new cut, since their co-conspirator Birdman does not make an appearance. Though the track definitely has a typical hip-hop beat — typical for 2014, anyway — there seems to be more singing than rapping going on. You can check out Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug's "Ain't Trippin'" here: Quan and Thug's Rich Gang mixtape "Tha Tour: Part 1" was released in September and spawned six singles: "Tell Em (Lies)," "Imma Ride," "Freestyle," "Soldier," "Milk Marie" and "Flava." "Tha Tour: Part 1" was Quan and Thug's most-recent, full-length release, and neither have yet to release a studio album. Thug claims his debut album will be titled "Tha Carter VI," since Lil Wayne plans on "Tha Carter V" on being his last, while Quan's upcoming album has yet to be given a title. "You can expect Drake on my album. You can expect Boosie on my album," Quan told "Hot New Hip-Hop." "You can expect Thug on there. You can expect Wayne ... I gotta get Nicki on there." "That's why I'm still waiting," he continued, "That's why you ain't heard it yet. I'm still working on it. I gotta get Big Sean on there. A lot of these my idols. People I looked up to coming into the game." In other Rich Homie Quan news, the 25-year-old rapper also shared a remix of his track "Blah Blah Blah" yesterday, featuring new verses from Ty Dolla $ign, Fabolous and Dej Loaf.

  • Rich Homie Quan Shares New Track "Around The World" From Upcoming 'Sour Diesel 17' Mixtape [LISTEN]

    Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan has shared a new track titled "Around The World," which you can check out here. The Metro Boomin and Zaytoven-produced track features Quan rapping about all the places he's been around the world, from Los Angeles to Wisconsin (twice, apparently) to New York. Come to think of it, the only places he claims to have been to are in the United States, so his version of "around the world" is pretty limited.
  • Lil Wayne Wants Off Cash Money: Says Birdman, Label Won't Release 'Tha Carter V'

    There seems to be some trouble in Weezy paradise. Lil Wayne took to Twitter today, Dec. 4, to shed some light on the constant delays with his 11th studio album "Tha Carter V." Weezy claims it has not been released yet because Birdman and Cash Money Records refuse to put it out. The rapper said he wants off his longtime label because he feels like a "prisoner." "To all my fans, I want u to know that my album won't and hasn't been released bekuz Baby & Cash Money Rec. refuse to release it," Weezy tweeted. "Tha Carter V" has been delayed multiple times and was due out Dec. 9, but that may not happen now.

  • Keyshia Cole Shares Special Video for Birdman on Instagram

    Birdman has some kind of hold on Keyshia Cole. "The Point of No Return" songstress recently escaped prosecution for attacking a woman at the rapper's condo, and we are not sure if it is some type of celebratory dance or what, but Cole shared a special video for Birdman on Instagram, where she dances on top of a piano.
