DJ Ted Smooth x Joell Ortiz - I Tote Guns

Before you jump up and down, this isn't Detox. It's ReTox, DJ Ted Smooth's upcoming mixtape featuring Vado, The Kid Daytona, Scram Jones, Fred Da Godson, Ryan Leslie, and more over classic hip hop tracks.  Check out Slaughterhouse emcee Joell Ortiz rhyming over a Biggie sample.

It may not be Detox, but it's still pretty damn dope.

Curren$y - Plot Music

If you ever forgot where Curren$y is from, this new track over B.G.'s "Cash Money Is An Army" beat is a blatant reminder that Spitta is NOLA all day every day.  Not sure if a mixtape or album is coming soon, but if the past is any indication, expect about 32 Curren$y projects this year. No complaints here!

Young Dro - We Out Chea + Getting To The Money [Music Video]

Check out the music video to the title track and "Getting To The Money" below, and let me know if you're planning to check out Dro's new tape!
