  • Mike WiLL Made It Shares 'F--k U Expect' Music Vid Feat. Jace [WATCH]

    Superstar hip-hop producer Mike WiLL Made It has shared the music video for his track "F--k U Expect" featuring Jace, which you can check out below. The Max-directed video finds Jace, of the groups Retro Sushi and Two-9, hanging around a gas station drinking beer and, later on, in the middle of a busy highway. The video is incredibly short, coming in at just a minute and a half, but that is the perfect amount of time to get the gist of what Mike WiLL and Jace are trying to do and gives the track a cool, "Madvillainy" vibe. You can check out Mike WiLL Made It's "F--k U Expect" music video featuring Jace here, via "Complex":
  • Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan Share New Track "M.O.M. (Mind On Money)" [LISTEN]

    Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan have teamed up once again for a new track titled "M.O.M. (Mind On Money)," which you can check out below. If that title is any indication, the track is about money and how much these two love it (you know, hip-hop stuff). Though Thug and Quan's delivery is typically difficult to digest and inexplicably Autotuned, the beat itself is pretty nice.
  • Rich Homie Quan Shares 'Flex' [LISTEN]

    Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan has shared a new track titled "Flex," which you can check out below. The track was produced by Nitti Beatz and DJ Spinz and is backed by a pretty excellent electro beat, like a darker and more atmospheric version of Iggy Azalea's "Fancy." Quan's performance is not bad either, often veering into — Auto-Tuned, of course — singing as much as straight-up rapping. You can check out Rich Homie Quan's "Flex" here, via "Miss Info":
  • 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. You can check out SBOE's "Better Than Them" featuring Rich Homie Quan, Yo Gotti and Boosie Badazz here: Here is SBOE's original version of "Better Than Them," just in case you were curious:

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.
