J.Cole & Chipmunk freestyle on 1Xtra

This is getting a lot of mixed responses on the web, so let me know what you think. Personally I agree that J.Cole could have vibed better with someone else, and Chip looked a little nervous given the bars he was spitting. I've got love for Chip and any hate has got to be a sign of jealousy: the boy has achieved a lot. Right now, though, we can't afford any less than matching up bar-for-bar with the US rappers aand there's no doubting Cole is leading the line of the new-school.

50 starts some B.I.G beef with Diddy

It seems as though Fiddy has left a parting gift for Diddy before he heads off to Jamaica; a nicely wrapped petition, in an attempt to stop Diddy using BIG's name in order to stack up record sales.

Sure, Diddy uses Chirstopher's name on the frequent, but there's no doubt he had mad love for BIG, so what's 50's issue? Who's betting if (God forbid) something happened to 'Em that 50 wouldn't be name-dropping for time?

Ok, so maybe I'm biased: I've never exactly had love for Curtis, but for those that do, go ahead sign the petition...isn't Diddy's moto "Can't stop, won't stop"

Chiddy Bang - Sooner Or Later [VIDEO]

If you knew about 'Proto' before you knew about 'Chiddy', then it's very likely you'll enjoy this video. Filmed by Chidera himself on a trip back to Nigeria, it plays out as a perfect video for the track Sooner Or Later which featured on their Opposite Of Adults EP.



And if you don't know what I mean when I say Proto, then you're missing out on a whole bunch of quality songs. This song (below) was probably the first ever time I heard Proto, and I've been hooked to him and Xaphoon since. This was recorded with Chiddy's friend and fellow Nigerian artist eLDee.




And if ya don't know...

Dead Prez - Revolutionary But Gansta Grillz [MIXTAPE]

Ok, I am LONG overdue on this one (apologies) but this new DJ Drama-hosted Dead Prez mixtape dropped the day I flew to Egypt, and I've been very slow at getting back to things. But here it is, if you haven't done the download yet, this is a MUST. DP are always the realest. Can't wait to give this a listen.
