Not to be confused with the popular R&B trio, the TLC we're talking about stands for “Trap Life Crazy” and represents the combined talents of Slimm Body and Yung Blow, forming the two-man sensation from Nashville, TN.

Known as Childish Gambino of Hip-hop and R&B, Donald Glover the well-versed actor, this multi-talented young artist is currently taking his career to a galaxy far, far away, as Lando Calrissian.

Astronomical news indeed, the announcement dropped Friday, October 21^st, via StarWars.com, stating that the 33-year-old multi-dimensional artist will be working alongside Alden Ehrenrich (Blue Jasmine), in re-imagining the familiar galactic partnership of Han Solo and Calrissian in a still-untitled, new Star Wars film.

Glover's role visualizes that of a younger Lando Calrissian, who first came to be introduced in earlier films as the cunning swindler closely tied to infamous space smuggler Han Solo. Whereas Billy Dee Williams played the character'

Daddy Grace (aka Born Allah) is on a mission to regain the “grown-man bars” he sees fading as Hip-hop moves further away from its Golden Age. Rallying along his crusade is fellow veteran rapper, Sadat X, in their latest collaborative project “Black Cream”.

The duo provides an adequate remix of the track listed on Grace's No Hip Hop For Grown Men—adequate in the sense that it isn't the average adjustments here and there, but a complete revamp, which includes fresh & funky instrumentals catered by BLDNGBLK. Also, Grace is gracious enough to include fresh lines as well as polished razor-edge openers ala Sadat X's to kick it off.

Sadat's iconic Brand Nubian style blends perfectly atop the track's upbeat, f

Up and coming rapper Chase Allen is making his way from relative obscurity to the forefront of the Hip Hop community. The Los Angeles-based artist has just released to stunning visuals for “Nothing To Lose,” which chronicles his tumultuous journey from growing up in poverty in his hometown of Philly to his emerging success.

The eccentric rhymes of Kool Keith meet the enigmatic MF DOOM on the aptly-titled single, “Super Hero” catalogued on Keith's newt album under Mello Music, Featuring Magnetic.

“When I produced the track I pictured DOOM as a bunch of different Marvel characters,” said Keith, “Like two super heroic distinctive rappers with powers.”

Like a much-awaited crossover team-up from two iconic comic heroes, expectations were soaring as soon as the words “featuring MF DOOM” first came up, then the album dropped and we were met with sublime audio-induced catharsis from the two rappers. And just when things couldn't get any better, the music video debuts on The Fadershowcasing Kris Merc's direction,

Emerging Los Angeles-based rapper Chase Allen was raised in Philly and grew up in a musical household. His older brother was an emcee and producer while his middle brother was a producer, as well. After hearing Kanye West’s College Dropout, Allen was hooked on hip-hop. He soon realized he could be an artist, too, one that could reach inside, pull out raw emotion and put it all out on the table. Since then, he’s been steadily building a name for himself. With all odds stacked against him (his father passed away when he was 4 and his single mother had four kids to raise on a limited budget), he’s proving he has what it takes to not only escape poverty, but also rise to the top. Armed with tenacity and ambition, Allen has recently eleased the beautifully shot
