[Music Video] Big Boi ft. T.I. & Ludacris - "In The A"

Big Boi's Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors can best be described as an experimental album, but "In The A" is one of the few tracks that sticks to a simple, southern formula. Watch the visuals below as Sir Lucious is joined by fellow ATL royalty T.I. and Ludacris.

Bone Thugs -N- Harmony - "Foe Tha Love Of $$$" (Durkin Rework)

As bad as I hope that Bone Thugs- N-Harmony come out with a new album this year, I'm not holding my breath.  Instead, I'll be enjoying this rework of Creepin on ah Come Up's "Foe tha Love of $" by Boston DJ-producer Durkin. You should too.

Casey Veggies - "Fuck Witchu"

Casey Veggies plans to hit us with his debut studio album Life Changes on January 22nd.  Along with releasing a promo video for the project, he dropped "Fuck Witchu," a freebie produced by Terrence Clayton.

CharlieRED - Religion [EP]

There's a sort of magic made when a great singer works with an equally talented producer who can provide a sonic canvas fit for free expression. Fortunately for us, Houston singer Rocki Evans and musician Cobaine Ivory have a chemistry that makes their Religion EP one of the most cohesive and emotionally charged projects I've heard this season.

Get to know CharlieRED's Religion for yourself below, and hit the jump to check out the visuals to "Kansas."

Mac Miller ft. Ab-Soul - "All The Time" (Prod. by Chuck Inglish)

Chuck Inglish is so nice with it.

Mac Miller's had a few nice tracks, but I think he's made a fan out of me with "All The Time." I was expecting a verse of pineal gland proportions from Ab-Soul, but it was equally surprising and nostalgic to hear him channeling his best Andre 3000 on the bridge.

Akon ft. Wiz Khalifa - "Dirty Work"

Akon's album Stadium has been in the works since 2010, but it appears the Konvict is finally making moves to release that bad boy. Listen to "Dirty Work," his new single with Wiz Khalifa and tell me if you think Akon has a hit on his hands. I say yes.

Angel Haze - "On The Edge" + Azealia Banks - "No Problems" (Diss Records)

Yesterday as I was minding my business sipping my morning tea, I noticed that Azealia Banks and Angel Haze were having quite the Twitter exchange. The flame that started it all?

Seriously, if you were not born and raised in NY.... DON'T CLAIM NY. YOU ARE NOT A NEW YORKER.
— YUNG RAPUNXEL (@AZEALIABANKS) January 3, 2013

Subliminal diss to Angel Haze, a fellow upcoming female emcee who relocated to NYC from Detroit? Perhaps; and she took it as such. A few "you ain't got no edges" jokes and claims of sexual rejection later, Angel drops "On The Edge," a diss track she claims she wrote in 20 minutes after the back and forth.

[Music Video] Rapsody ft. Raheem DeVaughn - "Non Fiction"

Though "Nonfiction" is a dope collab between Rapsody, Raheem DeVaughn and Ab-Soul, the Jamla queen handles the video solo. Watch below as she laces truth through an always soulful 9th Wonder beat.

Make sure you check out The Idea Of Beautiful now if you haven't heard it already!

[Music Video] Kendrick Lamar - Backseat Freestyle

Kendrick Lamar's good kid m.A.A.d city is already gold, and just 420 K from platinum. While his singles "Swimming Pools" and "Poetic Justice" are on the radio about every 20 minutes (ecstatic about this!), he keeps the momentum going by dropping the visuals to the Hit-Boy produced "Backseat Freestyle."

Meet the family and the notorious Sherane (well an actress playing her) below, and be sure to hit the jump for Life + Times' latest Decoded episode where Kendrick explains the story behind my favorite track on the album "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst."
