Tonight Eminem had a homecoming show in Detroit. And since it’s Em related you know YN was gonna be in attendance (ha!). Before getting into his single (We Made You) Em pays respect to Proof. Then after the jump he transforms into Shady and rips through Underground. More footage is coming, I’m sure.

Nero yokes one of Marshall’s leaked tracks for his own personal endeavors. Alive & Vibrant: Propaganda, coming soon.

As far as I know, there hasn’t been an official statement released. But I’m pretty sure Mickey Factz has some tricks up his sleeve. He just shot over this Skyzoo freestyle over his Incredible instrumental. We already posted Naledge ripping it. And I’ve heard from a few other artists (name’s remain secret) that they are doing the same. The next A Millie maybe? But instead of Chris Brown and wack ass artists getting over it, we get strictly dope artists? I’m down. Again, these are just my thoughts people.

When my man Andrew shot me the link to this and I read the line up my jaw dropped. How ill of a posse cut is this? Fuck Khaled and his same ol same ol garbagio. This is where it is. Off an upcoming Plugg City compilation that’s in the works. UPDATE: Judging from the comments below, this has been out for like a year haha. Regardless, it’s hot so I’ll leave it up. UPDATE 2: So I checked some old files and a version with Fest & LB came out back then. This is a new version with SV and Gabz added. So there!

Ha, gotta love the title of this new Tame One track (you’ll see). This came in my inbox earlier today but I overlooked it on accident. Sorry Matt! So here goes another dope cut featuring Sean P! off Tame One’s upcoming album, Da Ol Jersey Bastard, dropping July29th. And to make up for being late, I’m dropping the title track off the upcoming Tobacco Road LP from Seattle’s Common Market? Yessir!

You already know from the numerous posts I made during the build up for the release of Lemons that I will always post Atmosphere related shit. One thing dope about Slug is he actually goes off the top when he freestyles. Big shouts to the homie Peter Parker who I met during SoundSet in MPLS a few weeks back.

I originally got this track a few days ago, but didn’t have any explanation. I listened to it and passed it as some random blend, etc. Last night I got an email from IT’s label with the song attached and more info. The explicit version will be featured as a bonus track on Tech’s upcoming third LP, The 3rd World, set to drop in June. Unfortunately they sent out a clean, unmastered version. Don’t ask me why. They are also in the process of shooting a short video. I included the fan-favorite original as well.

As I get ready to eat some breakfast (at 12:46… *sigh) I figured I’d post the new Atmosphere video. I linked to the MTVu premier yesterday when i dropped Sad Clown Bad Spring 12 on ya’ll and I know other sites had the OnSmash version up. But since I can’t post their videos I figured I’d wait until RSE put it up on their page. I’m seriously psyched beyond belief for this album. When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, April 22nd!

Last year, Shake and HipHopDX put together a mixtape full of music from all the artists that would be attending the Paid Dues Festival. Slimm (our usual DJ) had issues and couldn’t take care of it, so I mixed the thing myself in a few hours and we got it to press. We titled it Independent As F*ck and printed up thousands of them. We passed them out at the show, put it up for free download, etc. The response was great. Now a year later and Paid Dues was in full effect once again. I didn’t get to attend because of A3C being the same weekend but it’s all good, DX was definitely a presence! We had DJ El.K mix this years tape and there’s music from all the artists that were on the bill. From Murs to Little Brother, Sage Francis to P.O.S., Boot Camp Clik, Dilated Peoples, Hieroglyphics and much more. Enjoy!
