We hope that you’re still giving Gang Starr’s One of the Best Yet some heavy rotation. But even if you are, hearing Method Man and Redman over DJ Premier production in 2020 on the remix for “Bad Name” is just what you need to get through your day. Turn this up.
Pro Era’s CJ Fly will drop a collaborative album with Statik Selektah titled Rudebwoy on March 6th and release the video for “Show You” from the project.
“‘Show You’ is a high energy boom bap classic that was created to take listeners on a journey through Brooklyn from my birth to present,” CJ says. “It’s a preview into my life and almost biographical. I reveal things that some of my closest friends or fans may not have even known about myself and my father.”
Method Man is connected with Young Collage and Okwerdz as the trio drop bombs on the new joint “Know Me Like That”
It still feels unreal.
On the morning of January 26, 2020, the world lost a legend when Kobe Bryant, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, died in a fatal helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
He was 41 years old.
Although the world continues to mourn the man affectionately known as Black Mamba, Bryant’s legacy will live on as a man who refused to lose at anything. His passion on the court led to five NBA titles, 18 All-Star nods and voted on the All-NBA First Team 11 times in his illustrious career as a Los Angeles Laker. After retiring in 2016, Bryant began his second career as an advocate for others and focused heavily on the greatest gift of all — his family.
A father to four daughters and husband to Vanessa Bryant, Kobe Bryant appeared to be getting comfortable with his life outside of competition before his life was tragically cut short.
Here’s a sitdown between Kobe and Kendrick Lamar from 2017 at ComplexCon where the duo discuss their evolution to greatness.
Rest in Peace, Kobe. You will forever be missed.

R.A. the Rugged Man links up with Psycho Les from The Beatnuts for production on the lead single from his next album All My Heroes Are Dead titled “Legendary Losers.”
“The song is a reintroduction to who I am and my life,” R.A. said of the song and video that parodies today’s hip hop artists. “My day-one fans will be able to relate because they watched me go through it, but I think people who don’t know sh*t about me can relate to this story as well. That roller coaster of life, downs and ups. No matter how far you fall, you can kick your way out of it and get back on your feet. I been beaten and bloodied and left for dead and survived. If I could do it so can you.”
The world stopped on Friday when Eminem dropped his surprise album Music to Be Murdered By and delivered the video for “Darkness.” The harrowing set of visuals depicts the deadly shooting in Las Vegas at the Route 91 Harvest music festival while addressing gun control in America.
