MIXTAPE: UTG’s Ignorant Anthems 2 – Up All Night

Summer is here, and if you ask us there is no way to better celebrate the arrival of the season than by creating a mixtape that can serve as a fitting soundtrack for the memories waiting to be made.

Last November, we released a mixtape called Ignorant Anthems, and the response from our readers was overwhelming. We loved the songs included in the mix, but always thought it could have been better.

Jay-Z Returns To Music With “Open Letter”

Jay-Z hasn’t left the celebrity spotlight in two decades, but the man who gave us Reasonable Doubt in the 90s has been relatively quiet for the better part of the last year. There are many reasons for this, including the birth of his daughter with singer Beyonce (who also recently returned to music), but it’s an absence that has been felt nonetheless.

Well hip hop fans, it’s time to collectively dry our eyes because Hova has returned in glorious fashion with “Open Letter.” Featuring production from Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, the first solo track from Jigga in over a …

MUSIC VIDEO: Swizz Beatz Ft. Chris Brown and Ludacris – “Everyday Birthday”

It may be election today, but music fans will remember this day as the time Swizz Beatz dropped an undeniable single on rather boring Fall season of music. “Everyday Birthday” pairs the insanely talented producer with Ludacris and Chris “I sometimes beat women” Brown against a club-infused track that keeps the hook simple and bass heavy. The audio arrived about a week ago, but those wanting more can now experience the official music video for “Everyday Birthday” by clicking through the “Read more” link below.

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Swizz Beatz – Off The Cuff

Only a few short weeks after a snippet surfaced, UTG finally has the full cut of Swizz Beatz’ latest.

Tackling a relatively modest beat, “Off The Cuff” finds Beatz going in with lines about life in NYC, as well as a fair share of braggadocios comments. Not exactly the hit of the year, but a solid speaker-rattler nonetheless. Click through to stream, download, and enjoy.

Swizz has made a name for himself through hard work and dedication to the game. That said, these verses could really use some work before he tries to step too far into the modern vocal …
