The trio of Gift of Gab, R.A. The Rugged Man and A-F-R-O recently announced a project titled Rejoice! Rappers are Rapping Again and delivered the song “Freedom Form Flowing.” Now the song has accompanying visuals as all three are in the middle of nowhere with cardboard masks rocking a microphone.
The Rockness Monsta continues to drop bangers from his Rockness A.P. (After Price) album. This time he is joined by D12’s Kuniva and wishes a n*gga would.

Oddisee releases a new joint as part of Adult Swim’s 2017 Singles Program that could have very well landed on his stellar album The Iceberg. “Never Lived” finds the DMV emcee/producer delivering the stream of consciousness over dope production.

Vic Mensa’s freestyles have become some kind of legend in hip hop. He hasn’t failed us yet and he doesn’t fail us now as the former Kids These Days emcee puts in work over the instrumental to Noreaga’s “Banned From TV” on Funkmaster Flex’s show.
After dropping the song, Torii Wolf delivers the haunting visuals for the DJ Premier produced “Big Big Trouble” from Wolf’s forthcoming Flow Riiot album.
“Creating a visual for this record was very special for me. It was really important to visually emulate the juxtaposition of love and lust in an animalistic way” Torii commented to Vibe. “The way that a female spider eats their lover is similar to the feeling of being lustfully consumed by another human. The video both conveys and captures the underlying emotion of knowing that you’re going to catch your prey before they do; and knowing what you’re capable of doing to them.”
OVO’s PARTYNEXTDOOR joins forces with Jadakiss for “Cartier,” which is one of many drops from PND over the past week and a half. Does it mean an album is coming? Perhaps. But just enjoy the stylings of ‘Kiss until then.
