Rozay and Drizzy team up one mo gin for “Made Men”. Dunno why I thought I’d posted this already.. I always knew the black cake was spiked, but the sorrel too?
Produced by 2 Tall beats.
Tory Lanez continues to go hard with the viral joints with a new freestyle over Weezy’s latest. Can’t front on dude’s flow. Although he might have left a sour taste in some people’s mouths because of all the Drake foolishness, he’s definitely doing his best to show that he can hold his own as an artist. Sean Kingston (aka his new boss) with the cameo.

Chuck D notoriously once said hip hop is “the black CNN.” He was alluding to rap’s ability to broadcast the lifestyles of African Americans, which popular media couldn’t or wouldn’t authentically project. If Chuck D worked within “the black CNN,” then maybe it’s fair to say Skillz, with his annual “Rap Up” series works at Entertainment Tonight.
If you’re in the dark on this, the series gives a lyrical synopsis of popular culture and hip hop over the previous twelve months. Starting in 2002, Skillz wrote the first “Rap Up” record on a whim. About to release a mixtape full of dubs, his manager suggested he write something to Common’s hit record featuring Mary J. Blige entitled “Come Close.” Stumped by the light mood of the record, Skillz decided he’d rap about all that’d happened in 2002. Time was on his side, since Thanksgiving (US) had just passed and the mixtape would be released near the end of the calendar year. Written hastily according to Skillz, the year in review cited trends like Burberry and throwback jerseys, songs like “Grindin” (Clipse) and “Dirty” (Christina Aguilera), scandals like R. Kelly’s sex tapes and world news items like Michael Jackson hanging his child out the window. Without knowing what he’d created, Skillz made it the last song on his mixtape and would soon be surprised as radio shows picked it up. It seemed he’d struck a chord. Hip hop’s ability to act as a time capsule excited listeners who reveled in reminiscing over 2002’s best and worst.
Skillz has since covered every year in similar fashion and provided a lyrical scrap book of sorts. (more…)

T-Minus gets some well deserved shine south of the border courtesy of Complex.com.
T-Minus is a name you might not know, but probably should learn. Born Tyler Williams, this Toronto-based producer of Jamaican descent has been on the scene for a few years, making beats for the likes of Birdman, Plies, and Lyfe Jennings. Although he really made a name for himself last year with Ludacris’ chart smash “How Low,” he’s looking to have an even bigger 2011. He’s already produced the exceptional T.I. cut “Poppin’ Bottles”—a Drake-featured track from No Mercy—as well as Nicki Minaj’s “Moment 4 Life” which looks like the next single. We got on the horn with the 22-year-old to talk about how “Moment 4 Life” came about, how Wiz Khalifa’s version of “Poppin’ Bottles” leaked before T.I.’s version, and how he’s currently working on Drake’s Take Care as well as Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV.
