March 28th, 2013 Adrian Garza

XXL recently had an interview with LA-based rapper ScHoolboy Q about his upcoming full length, Oxymoron, when he dropped a major bomb – he plans on including some of Oxymoron‘s featured artists in a new supergroup.

Don’t take our word for it though, here’s a snippet of what ScHoolboy Q had to say.

“…As of right now, I don’t now. After this album, shit, I want to work with both the homies. I want to do a project with Soul and I want to do one with Rocky. Maybe we can even put our own little group together …

Hoodie Allen Releases “Cake Boy” Video; Announces Free Album

February 11th, 2013 James Shotwell

Hoodie Allen is one of the few underground rappers that we truly believe never sleeps.

Later this month he will release his latest free album, Crew Cuts (out 2/20), but for now we have a new single and video to enjoy.

Hitting the net early this morning, “Cake Boy” proves Hoodie is just as talented and lighthearted as ever, with slick visuals and a catchy beat you’ll want to hear again and again. We’re hoping to …

Jerry Seinfeld Working On Rap Mixtape With Wale

January 18th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Jerry Seinfeld will always be remembered as the stand up comic who owned the 90s with his show about nothing, Seinfeld; may god have mercy on our souls if I ever have to explain to a child that he was funny and isn’t “the guy from Bee Movie“. I pray that day never comes. The hit sitcom’s cultural reach is deep; rapper Wale made two mixtapes that took influence from it, 2008′s The Mixtape About Nothing and 2010′s More About Nothing.

Now, Wale and Jerry Seinfeld are working on a mixtape together. Jerry will be penning lyrics, …

Flying Lotus Gives First Interview Regarding Captain Murphy Rap Project

January 12th, 2013 Brian Lion

Wrapping up 2012, multi-genre producer Flying Lotus came out as the true identity of the mysterious and cleverly named rapper, Captain Murphy. I say clever as Captain Murphy is an (awesome) character from Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim show, Sealab 2021, and as Flying Lotus has produced a significant amount of bumper music for Adult Swim, it makes perfect sense that he would adopt the moniker of one of their best animated offerings.

Some people were disappointed by the reveal as they had assumed that it was Tyler, The Creator or some Odd Future affiliate, but most were thrilled to …

EDITORIAL: The Curious Case Of Rick Ross Vs. Rick Ross

January 10th, 2013 James Shotwell

Identity is everything in music, and that goes double for urban artists. The way fans envision your day-to-day life directly correlates with whether or not they will believe the lines you deliver in songs, and some times that need to look “real” leads artists to lie through their teeth. Those needing proof of this need look no further than the story of Rick Ross, or should I say William Leonard Roberts II, and his current legal entanglement with one of the biggest drug traffickers in United States history.

Rick Ross burst onto the music scene in 2006 with his debut …

UTG LIST: Best Mixtapes of 2012

December 17th, 2012 James Shotwell

2012 has been an incredible year for music. From rock, to pop, hip hop, and the world’s obsession with “Gangnam Style,” there have been many great offerings for fans of any genre of music. Hip hop, however, has been especially fortunate thanks to the rise of artists working harder than ever to ensure their mixtapes flow like albums. More than any other realm of music, hip hop is built on artists establishing relationships with the listener through the release of free material, and you could not throw a metaphorical rock through the blogosphere this year without finding a …

Rumors about Brooklyn alternative hip-hop group Das Racist calling it quits have been swirling around the internet and now Under The Gun Review can confirm that they are no more. DR were supposed to play the On3 Festival in Munich, Germany this weekend and ended up being Heems performing a solo set. He sent out the following message to fans.

“You guys wanna know the secret? Alright, so I’m going to do some Das Racist songs, but Das Racist is breaking up and we’re not a band anymore.”

In response to the onstage antics, Kool A.D. tweeted:

50 Cent Claims He Will “Put French Montana Out Of Business”

November 29th, 2012 James Shotwell

The Fall has brought to light a lot of feuds in the world of hip hop. We spoke briefly a few weeks back about Gucci and Jeezy, then it was Meek and Cassidy, and now it seems everyone is turning their gossip-loving attention to a rivalry between 50 Cent and French Montana. I’m not exactly sure what the full story is between these two music heavyweights, but speaking with radio last night, 50 was quoted as saying he would “put French Montana out of business.” You can stream the interview, which includes insight into the video for “My Life,” after …
