Brooklyn’s “Cold Cut King” is back as Bub Styles premieres the video for “Food Court” alongside Rome Streetz and produced by Ace Fayce. Bub and Rome trade rhymes over some grub in Little Italy’s night-spot.
“We had to come with the food theme and shut down Margherita in Little Italy and then mob out the subway in Chinatown,” Styles said of the video shoot.

Kanye West has announced that he’ll drop his 10th solo studio album this year titled God’s Country. Judging by the lead single “Wash Us In The Blood” that features Travis Scott, it’s a mixture of Yeezus and JESUS IS KING.

To kick off the 2020 BET Awards, Public Enemy properly read the room and brought in Nas, Black Thought, Rapsody, YG and Jahi to revamp their classic song “Fight The Power.” As relevant now as it was 31 years ago, each emcee brings their own flavor to the 2020 version of the song.

To formally announce the project, the quartet releases the song “Freeze Tag” with singer Phoelix.

Top Dawg Entertainment’s Reason might be the label’s best kept secret. The Cali emcee releases a video for the song “Field Nigga” that he regrets is still relevant today despite originally writing the song two years ago.
“I felt I hadn’t done enough so I added the last part of this song and shot this video two days ago,” he said. “This is the best way I know how to give back. I hope this resonates and hits y’all the way it did while I was writing it. I don’t want to argue, I just want an understanding on both sides. We’re tired!”
