Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey have some history together with collaborations dating back nearly a decade. The two linked up again on Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath Of God with “Where I Belong” and now have a video to match.
Fresh off of The Plugs I Met 2, Benny The Butcher and Harry Fraud release a video for “Survivor’s Remorse” featuring Rick Hyde. Directed by The Digggers, the video is from one of the standout tracks from the project.
Tailb Kweli and Diamond D’s GOTHAM album drops on April 16th and the duo has been teasing the project over the past few months with releases. Right ahead of the drop, the duo drops one more joint in the form of “Attention Span” that features Skyzoo.
It is a tragic day in Hip Hop as DMX has passed away at the age of 50.
X, birth name Earl Simmons, was hospitalized at the White Plains Hospital in New York after reportedly suffering cardiac arrest.
“We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50-years-old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few days,” DMX’s family said in a statement. “Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever. We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our brother, father, uncle and the man the world knew as DMX. We will share information about his memorial service once details are finalized.”
DMX burst onto the scene with his debut album It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot in 1998 and injected the culture with a profound grittiness that the industry was lacking at a time where excess was celebrated. His trademark bark and unrivaled stage presence was coupled with a vulnerability that only X could display as he publicly fought his demons through his music. He was the star of the Ruff Ryders collective and played a role in the rebirth of Def Jam records.
DMX would become the first artist in history to have two albums debut atop the charts in the same year, with Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood following his debut album in 1998. Aside from his profound rap career, DMX cut his teeth as an actor in films such as Romeo Must Die and Belly.
Although he was a superstar, he never shied away from his battles with depression and addiction. After disappearing from the scene for several years, DMX emerged in a VERZUZ battle with Snoop Dogg
It goes without saying that there will never be another rapper like DMX and we hope that he’s resting easy above us with no more suffering.

Papoose and DJ Premier connect for “NBA Rhyme Scheme” where Pap uses the names of every NBA team and incorporates them into his bars. Over Preemo production this is nothing but net.
Grammy award-winning emcee Nasty Nasir Jones is likely still celebrating his victory but found the time to drop a video for “EPMD” from his King’s Disease album with Hit-Boy riding shotgun.
