Maffew Ragazino - Argyle Socks

Maffew Ragazino rhymes over a jazzy Harry Fraud production as he puts Juicy J's "Stoner's Night 2" to shame. Let's hope we get more freestyles like this from the Brooklyn rapper more often!

Update: CDQ + Cover Art. O_O

:-O!!!!!

The G.O.O.D. Music album's first single "Mercy" has been hyped up so much that Kanye West surprised everyone by dropping off the Hit Boy produced "Theraflu." When I say he spazzed........man! He doesn't tiptoe around anything-- Amber and Wiz and even Kim Kardashian and her ex Kris Humphries.

Monica ft. Wale - Take A Chance

Monica's album New Life really snuck up on me because I had no idea it was hitting stores in less than a week on April 10th. Rico Love wrote the Wale featured standout "Take A Chance" and I think it balances out the "He Ain't S**t" vibe that's present on "It All Belongs To Me." Preorder New Life HERE and hit the jump to view the album's full track list!

Mikkey Halstead & Lupe Fiasco - Gone ft. Jim Lavigne

Things have got to change Chicago, and Mikkey Halsted, Lupe Fiasco, and Jim Lavigne are stepping up to the plate. Here's what Mikkey had to say:

In light of “37 SHOOTINGS, 46 VICTIMS & 9 MURDERS” during Chicago’s first ‘warm’ weekend, the Trayvon travesty, 6-year old Aliyah Shell, and in honor of my cousins Ismail & Malik that were gunned down last summer…I felt as though this was the time to drop this song. Shouts to Lupe for helping me paint a vivid picture of what goes on everyday in Chicago and every other ghetto in America. Also, shouts to David ‘D.A.’ Doman & Jim LaVigne for providing us the perfect canvas to paint upon.

Special Dedication to Blair Holt and the hundreds of CPS students lost to senseless violence.

WE CAN NO LONGER WAIT FOR OTHERS, SEEMINGLY UNAFFECTED BY OUR ISSUES, TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS FOR US. SPEAK OUT AND SAY SOMETHING, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO SOMETHING.
