VIDEO: Machine Gun Kelly Drops "Til I Die Part 2!"

Surely, this collaboration of rappers had no issues with accompanying Machine Gun Kelly for this project. 

The black and white visual was nothing short of basic with hailing artists all the way from Memphis, Tennessee to Cleveland, Ohio.

While artist Bone Thugs and Harmony and MGK harmonize over some crazy guitar accents, MGK sets the tone for this informative track. If you didn't know who you were listening to before, now you know!

Southern Rapper, Yo Gotti set fire to the flame at the top of the track, while his Memphis swag accented his ad-libs.  

Of course the new generation had to uphold their title, and Coke Boy, French Montana definitely came through with his cypher scene surrounded by his affiliates.

Second to last, but not least Cleveland Native, Ray Cash held down the fort with his verse, and to close, the infamous MGK came in the clutch with a strong finish. 

I’d say that this is probably one of the biggest Cleveland collaborations in Hip-Hop. 

The Wild Boy, Machine Gun Kelly couldn’t have chosen a better group of artists to put together a masterpiece. 

If anyone knows good hip-hop they will know that it is an automatic hit anytime Bone Thugs, Ray Cash and MGK are on a track together—totally unfair! 

As if their bold lyrics aren’t enough, these artists will take you on a stroll throughout the trenches to show you exactly where they are from—East 1999 that is. 

Check out What All The Hype is About Here.

Method Man’s The Meth Lab Title Track is Officially Here!

We’re getting closer to the due date of Method Man’s Tommy Boy Records Album.

It was just earlier this week that Wu-Tang member Method Man announced the release date for his new album, "The Meth Lab." 

Along with the announcement he released The Meth Lab trailer that really got viewers anxiety going. 

This animated visual gives you a taste of the hardcore persona that this up-and-coming album takes on. 

With the amazing cover art and trailer, Method Man has really lowered us into his layer with this newly dropped title-track. 

This particular song features artist Hanz On and Street Life, but the album itself contains artist Redman, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, and features production from Ron Browz, Allah Mathematics, J57, and 4th Disciple.

In an interview with Nerdist, Meth briefly stated that he kept it real and low-key, like he does in his studio. He wanted this album to be a platform of exposure for the unheard talents of Staten Island. 

He says, “Bottom line is there’s a lot more talent to be heard from Staten Island outside of Wu Tang artists, and these kids are dope. I wanted to just give them a platform to be heard. I’m on every song, but I’m not exactly on any songs by myself, with the exception of one.”

With this clever, yet so creative album scheduled to drop August 21, 2015 this is only the beginning of his musical formula, so stay tuned for further updates!

The Duel Between The Cleveland Cavaliers and The Golden State Warriors Has Officially Commenced!

Stephen Curry’s Warriors and Lebron James Cavaliers are all suited and booted for the 2015 NBA Finals! As we prepare for lift-off on Thursday June 4, 2015 at 9:00 p.m. I’d like to take you through a B-ball recap in case you’ve forgot what a season these two teams had. 

Image Credit: http://sportsbook.pics

Take a look at all of the stats and predictions leading up to tomorrow’s game here. 

Lebron, directly coming from the Miami Heat came out of the gates supplying extreme pressure. Although this 6’5 250 beast is nothing less than unstoppable when it comes to his defense, will carry his team on his back and take it all the way home, or will players like Tristan Thompson continue to hold down the fort whenever his number is called. 

Check out some footage here of Lebron James All-Star Top 10.

As we exit out of King James hype, let’s look into Mr. Stephen Curry’s accomplishments. The most valuable player has led his team into winning a total of 67 games within the entire season. This is by far been one of the top 10 best seasons in NBA history! 

We all know Curry probably has one of the most accurate long distance shots in the League, but will this carry his team throughout the finals as swiftly as he moves through the court? 

Check out some highlights of Mr. Curry here. 

By the Warriors and Cavaliers February 26, 2015 game, the Cavaliers had reached their 11th straight home game win (longest streak since 2010.) 

While the Warriors haven't witnessed a final series since 1975-76, they definitely secured their spot this time around with 104 points against the Houston Rockets 90 points during game 5. 

With Lebron averaging in 27.3 points and Stephen Curry averaging in 25.9 points in the postseason of their careers, the only question left to answer is how will they deliver during the finals and who will win it all? 

Stay tuned for the kick-off of the final games!

NYCFC PRAYING FOR A SAVIOR?

The mood surrounding the New York City Football Club, Before Saturday’s Match against Real Salt Lake, was starting to look more promising. They were coming off a huge come from behind draw against the Chicago Fire, also were down a man. Entering Saturday the team you would think was going to come out strong. We were sadly disappointed. The team didn’t even show up, they were shutout 2-0. The game was never in doubt for Real.

The same questions arise after every loss that the Blue and White suffer. The Attack was stagnant, the Mid Field is just a barren waste land where the ball is lost, and the back line has more wholes then Swiss cheese.  Sadly we cannot address all of these. The team has tried internally. They have played with the lineup, they have moved guys out of position, and they even have tapped the local market in signing Old Bridge New Jersey Native R.J. Allen.  All have gone by the wayside as the team continues to struggle.

With July approaching quickly, this means the Transfer Market within the MLS starts to heat up. As all the leagues around Europe finish off their season the MLS is just getting to the middle of their schedule.  This also means players around the FIFA universe start to look for new teams and contracts.  We already know of major moves like Steven Gerrard leaving Liverpool to join the Galaxy or Frank Lampard ending his BPL career to join the NYCFC in the MLS. This is the one thing that NYCFC Fans have been clamoring for, since Lampard’s ETA has been a bit of a mystery. According to SI.com Lampard will make 6 million for 1.5 years of service.  

In most leagues outside of the MLS there is no cap, but just like most American sports there is one in MLS. Any team is allowed to sign three players over the cap; this is known as the David Beckham rule. As it stand right now the City has 2 designated players (Villa and Lampard). They will search for one more, many believed to be an aging legend from overseas.  Many have been linked to the Big Apple and the MLS but most rumors are just negotiating tactics older stars use in Europe.

From what I have gathered is that there are a few legit Rumors. First there is Didier Drogba, who turned down an offer of 10 million in 2012 to join the MLS. As reported on by The Telegraph in the UK, NYCFC has reportedly made an offer to the 37 year old Chelsea forward. He would reunite with his old teammate Lampard.  Drogba scored 4 times for eventual champions Chelsea.

Next, there is Italian futbol legend Andrea Pirlo. He is currently preparing for his June 6^th match against Barcelona to decide the Champions League. This hasn’t stop the Rumor mill from turning, as his name has popped up several times. He too has been linked to NYCFC and Lampard. According to David Amoyal of Italian transfer experts GianlucaDiMarzio.com, he says that "Pirlo is very intrigued by the possibility of playing in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, he prefers moving to the United States over the option of playing in the Middle East. Sabri Lamouchi, the coach of Al-Jaishnin, had offered Pirlo a huge contract to play in Qatar a few weeks ago. Pirlo continues to have ongoing conversations with the United States as he prepares for the Champions League final in Berlin." This is very encouraging but we must take every rumor with a grain of salt.

There is so much speculation and gossip right now. Here are a few more players I think are real possibilities, Ashley Cole of Italy’s Roma is a good place to start. The 34 year –old Fullback would definitely bolster a very lackluster back line. It was reported by David Amoyal as well that Cole has met with Roma’s Brass about a move to the MLS.  There have been speculation about other high tier players leaving for the MLS but I call shenanigans on all of them.

Before I make a prediction of who I believe our third DP will be I will leave you with two Dark horse picks that haven’t had much if any ties to the Blue and White. Kevin-Prince Boateng was recently released by FC Schalke 04. He obviously has a lot left in his legs seeing as he is only 28. He has been linked the a return to Milan but also has had rumors to the RBNY (shot down that pretty quickly). This again is just my opinion but If NYC (who is owned by the Yankees and Manchester City) wanted to make an epic splash they could go after him. The other which may have more legs to the rumor then the last is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He recently applied for a work visa, this causing the MLS world to get giddy that the Superstar may make his way state side. He would be by far the Best Talent to make his way to Major League Soccer. I could dream can’t I?

When it’s all said and done I believe that Drogba will be the final move made this summer for the Boys in Blue. He is old and good friends of Lampard. He wants to be able to perform and if he played in America he would instantly be a top twenty player in the League. With that being said it will be a fun July.

A.$.A.P Rocky’s Leaked A.L.L.A Album is Available for Download but With a Few Surprises

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that these days, album leaks are quite the fad in the industry. From Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and now A$AP there’s nothing to get past viewers.

With the attention getters of the album including Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2 (LPFJ2), LSD, and many others this project is definitely worth the while. 

 

But wait just a second; while we’re on the subject of leaked music, apparently Rocky’s cup was over-flown with tea on Better Things.

PHOTO CREDIT: http://themikeylatelyshow.com

 

Although this artist does not particularly feature on atrack, Rocky mentions the British singer, Rita Ora in lyric’s involving her “Big Mouth.” 

 

MAJOR shots were taken at Ora while she was allegedlyaccused of not only her big mouth but what was also in it. 

 

The lyric’s state: “I swear that bitch Rita Ora got a big mouth/ Next time I see her might curse the bitch out/ Kicked the bitch out once ’cause she bitched out/ Spit my kids out, jizzed up all in her mouth and made the bitch bounce.”

 

Ouch! Well that escalated pretty quickly considering that barely anyone knew of them having relations, even after former boo, model Chanel Iman.

 

Well, this only entices viewers to seek further details and now you’re probably itching to hear the song so at 2:07 here it goes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y4w6JxaCrY 

 

While you’re at it, here’s the album too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TY4K8UI7hA 

 

This all sounds like an unsolved mystery, but we’ll stay on this to see if it surfaces.

 

The A$AP mob member will certainly have some bangaz, but just stay tuned to see if we mean that in literal terms or not!
