Freddie Gibbs - BFK (Official Video) I hope some of you took my advice & started bumpin that Gangsta Gibbs. He dropped the Baby Face Killa album with Drama a few months back & it’s still slammin now. This is the latest visual off of it, and it stays in the same high definition ultra-grimy vein as his last two videos, Thuggin & Shame. He’s got his hometown of Gary, Indiana on display in this one, taking over a gas station to mob out & even getting local police in trouble for lending him their cruisers for the shoot. Gangster shit. Check it out.

50 Cent -Complicated: This is my jam right now. The Lost Tape is really starting to grow on me. This track here reminds me a lot of Hustler’s Ambition,which is a very good thing. Video looks like Fif’s bout to get back on his early 2000s shit. Bulletproof vests, du-rags, & Louisville Sluggers. Aiiight.

Check out the mixtape here. He’s not breaking any molds or anything but most tracks are solid & a few are certified bangers. First time I heard it, I was like “hm, OK”. But I downloaded it about a week after that, and after a few spins it’s stayed in rotation. I know Get Busy  is pretty much I Get Money all over again, but that hasn’t stopped me from rappin about the ”canarie yellow rocks in my raaang” as I walk down the street with my headphones in.

If you’re a 50 fan at all, you’re gonna like this.

P.S. This is definitely a discussion for another day, but could you make the argument that 50 Cent is “underground” now?

Killer Mike & El-P: Big Beast (NSFW) I told you this album was gonna be hot when I first heard about it, and now that it’s out I dare you to disagree. Here’s the Official Video featuring Bun B, T.I., & El-P.Definitely graphic, definitely gangster, definitely deserving of your time.

I’ve had some time to listen to a few tracks on the album & so far they’ve all been solid. Hard-hitting production & revolutionary raps. El-P dropped his 3rd studio album last week too- more on that to come.

Anybody who’s been faithfully reading JHH for any amount of time knows I’m a big Freddie Gibbs fan. There are a lot of folks out there who still haven’t heard of him though, something that I find unacceptable. He’s been rockin’ since ‘01 so there’s a lot of tracks to sift through, which can make an artist like this tough to get into. Here’s where I’d start if I were you: National Anthem was Gangsta Gibbs’ first big hit (as far as I know). It’s wicked dope & has a quality video to go with it, so this is a solid place to start. Pretty good chance this chorus will be stuck in your head for a day or two. This remix of the classic Souls of Mischief track pretty much sums up Freddie’s views on women… He can spit like a madman too, as he demonstrates by viciously ripping this Big L instrumental. Whoa.  Young Jeezy scooped Gibbs up recently & brought him into the CTE fold, so we’re starting to hear him over some more southern sounding beats- he hasn’t switched his flow a bit though. This right here is my shit. That doesn’t mean he won’t drop a track with Madlib out of nowhere though. This track literally just appeared one day. No promo- nothin. He absolutely ripped it though…then proceeded to film the most thugged out video I’ve seen in a long time. He’s droppin gems too, so hit replay when it’s done. (“Teach your kid at your crib or your children might cop an ounce from me”) You might be asking yourself, does this man ever chill? The answer: kind of…Peep this track with Alchemist & Curren$y. Real smooth jam. If you’re feeling any of that at all, I’d suggest you hit Datpiff & download both of these mixtapes: The Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs: This is the classic Gibbs sound. Well produced too. Cold Day in Hell: His newest tape, since signing with Jeezy. I like it a lot.  That should be enough to get you started. Plenty more music though if you decide to keep digging. Click Here if you want to check out the Gibbs tracks that I’ve featured on Just Hip-Hop in the past. Lots of random singles, dope features, etc. - @UncleSamMC

Just discovered this dude MaLLy & his boy The Sundance Kid; I’ve gotta say- this is pretty nice. I guess they’ve got an album that dropped yesterday, so I’m gonna have to check that out. What do you know about this duo?

YO - How did I not know that there was a song with RZA, Tech N9ne, Eminem, Xzibit, Pharoahe Monch, Chino XL, & KRS-One in it? Even Jayo Felony spits a few bars. The fact that there’s a video only makes it more epic.

Ski Beatz -Heaven Is feat. C-Plus: Another silky smooth track off ofTwilight. Ski’s been on a nice little run lately. Not like he was ever a slouch. I mean, the man produced four tracks off ofReasonable Doubt…

He seemed to take a break for a little while though, but has come back with a vengeance, lacing some of my favorite artists- Murs, Gibbs, Cam, to name a few. He’s been doing tons with Curren$y too, and apparently working with Camp Lo again. Dope.
