Griselda is cooking for their Shady debut. Westside Gunn, Conway and Benny The Butcher are all in the kitchen with WWCD? on the horizon. Here’s the second single from their album titled “Chef Dreds.”
We hope you’re still playing Gang Starr’s One Of The Best Yet at ignorant levels. And while you do that, consume yourself with the visuals for “Bad Name.” With good ol’ Spice Adams dropping by and Guru’s son Keith Casim Elam cutting his hair on camera for the role of his late father, “Bad Name” is an absolute sentimental moment for fans of the legendary duo.

Since leaving Aftermath, Jon Connor has been picking his spots for his return to the scene. Today, the Flint emcee drops a freestyle over Eminem and Logic’s “Homicide” and absolutely wrecks it.
“I gained my fanbase from feeding the streets with content that showcased my lyrical ability,” Connor said. “What captivated them was how hard I was going. And I wanted fans to know that, after all these years and throughout my journey, I still give a fuck about MC-ing.”
And, guess what? He’s planning on dropping an album in 2020.
Fresh off of his new album The Diamond Report Big Shug drops his second video from the project in the form of the DJ Premier-produced “EMF” (which stands for Every Mother Fucker). It’s a certified banger.
Joell Ortiz drops a video from his Monday album for “Anxiety” that deals with the perils of battling mental health issues.
“Mental Health awareness is more than just a hashtag or a month of the year dedicated to its cause. It’s an everyday issue. Millions of us struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD and many other forms of mental illness. I just want everyone to know that they should never feel ashamed or be afraid to ask for help. You’re not weak or crazy or a failure. You’re human. And humans aren’t perfect. We’re flawed and delicate. Speak to a therapist. Talk to a friend. Exercise. Diet. Meditate. Do whatever it takes. You’re worth it. Who knows… Your story may help someone else. Like me.” — Joell Ortiz
