 The hype train finally arrived last December when The Game hinted at his forthcoming album. Despite that, it would appear that fans aren’t necessarily rushing in with all the hype.

The Game’s debuting studio album The Documentary 1, met massive acclaim back in 2005, eventually becoming recognized as one of Hip-hop best West-coast rap records. Just last fall, fans rekindled the familiar hype when Game returned with The Documentary 2 AND The Documentary 2.5.

That being said, The Game’s latest announced project isn’t receiving the same responses as he did with the TD series.

However, it appears that the hype train has finally left station last night when The Game posted the album artw

Young Money recording artist raised quite an uproar with his recent twitter post which strongly implied his retirement.

“I AM NOW DEFENSELESS and mentally DEFEATED,” read Lil Wayne’s tweet, written sometime around 1 a.m. Saturday morning, “I leave gracefully and thankful, I [love] my fans but I’m done”.

Although the cause for Wayne’s post remains unclear, fans and followers speculate it involves Wayne’s failed attempts at deviating from his Cash Money Records contract.

On the contrary, another tweet posted after Weezy’s alleged retirement post suggested less erratic predictions. In w

According to a press release from original N.W.A. publicist Phyllis Pollack, Jerry Heller, the music executive famous for managing the legendary rap group N.W.A., passed away on September 2, 2016. He was 75 years old.

N.W.A. became famous after the release of its highly publicized 1988 album, Straight Outta Compton. It

Surfacing out of the devastating 9/11 tragedies, The Black-Eyed Peas introduced their thought-provoking single, “Where Is The Love”.

With current threats and tumults on the rise, the American dance-pop group returns with an updated take on the song’s lyrics, but nevertheless, raising the same message.

“I remember when the attack in Paris happened, people would say, ‘We need ‘Where Is The Love?’ again’, spoke BEP frontman Will.I.Am. in a previous video post, “And then Belgium happened, and then Turkey,

Only few emcees have managed to preserve organic, old-school quality in a rapidly-commercialized and constantly-evolving music culture—one of these emcees is none other than Phantasm.

Popularized as one-half of underground Hip-hop duo “Cella Dwellas”, Phantasm entered the scene under the legendary Loud Records, which also rostered other iconic groups and artists, such as Wu-Tang, Xzibit, Big Pun, and M.O.P.

The duo released Realms n’ Reality in 1996, and then returned with The Last Shall Be Firstin 2000, under the simplified “Dwellas” identity. Along the span of his traversing in Hip-hop underground, Phantasm has without a doubt proven his identity as a “timeless” artist.

French producer Wax Tailor has teamed up with Ghostface Killah for the new single, “Worldwide," from his fifth studio album, By Any Beats Necessary. The animated video finds the Wu Tang Clan emcee navigating the track like the seasoned vet he is over a laid back, soulful beat. 

“Without going too deep into poilitics, the album’s title reflects my determination to use all kinds of sounds and textures to get to something musical,” says JC Le Saout, the man behind Wax Tailor. “The word ‘Beat’ also draws a line towards the Beat Generation, Kerouac’s famous novel On The Road, and the quest for a better place.  And so, in this time when each of us needs a little escape, I conceptualized this album as the
