Ross & Diddy are back at it again and this time toss the keys to 2 Chainz‘s “Birthday Song.” The already famous single from Titty Boi’s “Based on a T.R.U. Story” is updated with two verses that even leave Kanye looking cheap. Weeks after its release the song makes a comeback with the heavyweights refreshing the Sonny Digital production. Happy twenty-first to my bro Phil, someone get this kid a big booty hoe tonight.
Back with the heavy droned synth, Dom enlists Tyga and Juicy J to talk about their types of parties — drugs, girls, and of course haters. Filled with one-liners that you would expect from the three rappers this song trumps it’s predecessor. The highlight is when the beat shuts down for Juicy to get trippy until the tambourine (or drum snare) gets the song on it’s feet. All in all it’s a great song to bump on a fall drive.
Experiencing heavy success, Miami’s Diego Camejo released video footage surrounding the release of his Rise EP. If the visuals of beautiful women, Miami, and extraordinary club showouts for the young DJ don’t get you clicking, I’m sure the music will.
Check out our previous write-up on the actual EP right here.
With an all-star line up including Royce Da 5’9″, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, and Crooked I, Slaughterhouse is bringing its A-game once again. The Shady Records supergroup goes in over a hard-hitting piano with a melodic chorus by the beautiful Skylar Grey. Talking about their own experiences with death, each member (minus Royce) channels the angst that comes with losing someone. Each verse brings a new level of pain and this emotional ballad is sure to relive emotions evoking a certain empathy from the audience.
You can stream this somber single below and head to iTunes to cop if you are feeling it. With their album Welcome to: Our House releasing August 28th, none of their songs should be slept on, and not just because they drew from their mentor Eminem.
Pusha T’s latest cocaine musical is off Meel & LeBronJames.com‘s latest project Champions. As we wait for Cruel Summer and Pusha T’s solo album, Push-a-ton has given us a steady fix of music this summer & Pies might be one his best slices. Sampling the Backyardigans has never been so hood. Yes, Fly Union went back to Nick Jr. to bring us a windshield rattling bass line. Give it a listen and keep a heads up for Pusha’s album & G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summer.
Miami DJ/Producer Diego Camejo has been a fiend in the club circuit for the past couple years & has yet to his pinnacle. The 21-year-old Boston University full time student presented the world his Rise EP August 5 and yes, his presence behind the decks is a present. Rise brings forth an arsenal of progressive- house remixes including: “Lights” by Ellie Goulding, “Silvia” by Miike Snow, “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk, “No Hatred” by Cris Cab and “Seen It All” by Ronski Speed. There can be no favorites on this EP as the aficionado DJ pushes these songs to new heights with his unique elegance.
In his short career so far, Diego Camejo has already spun and held residencies at Miami’s premiere venues such as Mansion, Mokai, Set, Cameo, Rumor in Boston and Hudson Terrace in New York. For the debut of his EP, Camejo performed at Cirque de Mansion in Miami on August 1st before the official release on August 5th. Stream the whole EP below and if you’re feeling it, head to his Facebook , give him a Like and download the whole project for free.
MIA might have a new king, watch out Pat Riley. Ricky Rozay has released a monster of an album and isn’t scared to tweet about it. Ross recruited Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Andre 3000, and his MMG crew to be part of his historic album. The Boss utilizes Florida producers Cool & Dre and the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League to create some polished, jazzy beats. With his lyrical evolution from Hustlin’ to GFID, it’s safe to say Ross has revolutionized the current rap scene to a more lyrically conscious audience, compared to artists like Waka Flocka. He diverges away from the typical trap music we associate with the drug aficionado and takes a turn to a more sophisticated mogul.
Ross’ taste has changed & he is altering the menu of rap/trap/hip-hop with him. With standouts like “Sixteen,” “Diced Pineapples,” and “Presidential,” Rick Ross has created THE standout hip-hop album of the summer. And with competition like Royalty,The Yellow Album, Life is Good, and Self Made Vol. 2, it’s a close race. Let’s see if G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summer can break the finish line first, though. Stream a few of the notable tracks below and cop the album on iTunes.
