2 Chainz Talks Raekwon, Atlanta Hip Hop & NYC Debut With The Breakfast Club [VIDEO]

2 Chainz's sold out show at SOBs was a big deal for Southern Hip Hop, but like most big events, there was a little drama.  Apparently a lot of commotion started about their being bad blood between 2 Chainz and Raekwon, after the Chef took the stage at the end of the show and said "pay homage to me son."  Watch below to hear what really happened at his NYC debut and to find out what to expect from his upcoming Def Jam solo album!

A$AP Rocky & Waka Flocka Perform "Pretty Flacko" Remix Live In NYC [VIDEO]

When I first heard "Pretty Flacko," my brain associated it with Waka Flocka.  Looks like A$AP Rocky did too, and they linked up to record the remix to the banger.  Recently at an A$AP Mob show at NYC's Irvine Plaza, the "pretty mothaf**ka" brought out Fozzie Bear to perform the track to an amped up crowd. Watch below!

M.I.A. - Bad Girls [Music Video]

It's been quite a week for M.I.A., who came back in a major way with a brand new single, a feature and appearance on Madonna's new video, and now her own set of visuals. Tomorrow, she's even set to appear at the Super Bowl halftime show.

When I say this video is gangsta to the highest power, I mean it. The car stunts, the colors, the desert, the dancing. "Bad Girls" is officially my s**t now.

Torch - Slowdown ft. Meek Mill, Wale, Stalley, Gunplay & Young Breed (CDQ, No Tags)

It's a Maybach Music Group affair on this new track from Bronx emcee Torch. He brings that old school cypher sound back on the new banger "Slowdown," which features his brothers Meek Mill, Wale, Stalley, Gunplay & Young Breed.  Definitely adding this one into my next mix!

Updated: 2/4, 12:23 PM - The CDQ Version is finally here!

French Montana ft. Black Rob, Diddy & Rick Ross - Shot Caller x Whoa (A DJ Hourglass Remix)

So I've been learning to DJ for about 6 months now, and I finally made a mashup that I can post in confidence.  "Shot Caller" is easily one of the hottest songs out, and it's probably because it brings the old school Bad Boy feel back.  To really give it that "Take That, Take That" circa 1999 touch, check out what I did!
