I'm glad Flex included Audra The Rapper among the 20 to Wach For In 2012, because people are really sleeping on this chick's ability. Love to see women like myself kill it, so make sure you check this IFWT freestyle out and get familiar!
Along with Jon Connor , Skeme and Troy Ave, Maffew Ragazino is among In Flex We Trust's 20 To Watch in 2012. If you don't want to take Flex's word for it, check out this freestyle that he dropped in response to the recognition!
Gilbere Forte is putting all the phony rappers on blast on his latest freestyle, "Say So." He rides over A$AP Ty Beats' production like it was his own on this one, so I'm gonna say that this one's my favorite so far.

Like Lupe Fiasco, Sugar Tongue Slim was inspired by Kavinsky's "Nightcall." The track flows perfectly with STS's Gold Rush movement, and the ATL representer rhymes "Something About You" to of Danny Galardo's direction. Get familiar or get left behind! #GoldRush
Def Jam is definitely home of the most creative vocalists right now, and Tony Williams is proof of that on his new single "Blazin' High." On this Oddz.N.Endz. production, Tony links up with "best friends" Wale, Emilio Rojas, & Macklemore for a track that's sure to blow your mind. His new project Some Of My Best Friends Are Rappers drops next Friday, 1/13!

If I haven't hyped up Habits & Contradictions enough for you, check out Schoolboy Q's personal appeal below where he explains what type of impact the album should have on Hip Hop. From the leaks we've already heard and from his track record, Ab Soul may have been right when he said HnC is better than Section.80.
Chiddy and Xaphoon Jones are prepping us for their upcoming debut album Breakfast with the silly music video to "Ray Charles." Watch below as Chiddy Bang travels through the decades and takes it back to the "Georgia On My Mind," Fresh Prince, and Blues Brothers days.
If it weren't for MTV Rap Fix, who knows how long it would've been before I caught wind of Honors English? His video for "Cymbals On The Sidewalk" had veteran rapper Skillz at a lack of words when asked to give the Florida based emcee some constructive criticism.
Honors English isn't just a reflection of the care he puts into his craft; he's actually a college history professor! With the unconstrained ability to paint a three-dimensional picture with his wordplay and backing from Grammy winning producer Needlz, it's certain that the sky's the limit for Honors English.
Check out the Josh Milowe directed visuals to "Cymbals On The Sidewalk," the lead single from Honors English's upcoming album State Of The Art, below, and hit the jump to get more familiar!
From 5 am when Asher Roth checked in to his "Common Knowledge" video shoot, KarmaLoop was there to get a feel for what the Def Jam artist has to go through to make a video as dope as this one turned out. Check out the behind the scenes footage below, and download Pabst & Jazzif you haven't already. It's INCREDIBLE.
Another music video! Cha$e N. Ca$he makes sure you remember that The Heir Up There is coming soon by dropping the visuals to my favorite CNC track "Trill Living 2.0." Check out the New Orleans spitter/producer below, and make sure you let me know what you think about the track on Facebook or Twitter!
