The Return of Shyne
Anyone got a Ricola?... But in all seriousness, looks like recently deported MC Shyne (who finished up a 10-year bid in the States only to be shipped back to Belize) is hittin' the cover of the next XXL issue. It's weird though... this video depicts a very gritty, eerie illustration of what Shyne and his fellow Belizians must endure in his home country. However, here's a little fun fact: Shyne's the son of Belize's current prime minister. Safe to say he got cut off a long time ago?

Then And Now: Rich Boy/Drake Collabos
You probably peeped the title of this post and found it to be the most random thing you've seen all day. However, a Drake-Rich Boy tandem is not something that's to be taken out of the blue. For everyone who took a listen to Drake's 2008 mixtape Comeback Season, you probably looked over a guest appearance from the Mobile, AL MC on a track called "Must Hate Money." I'm not gonna front, I did the same thing. It just so happens as I was busy procrastinating at work and spending my time listening to cuts from Drake's old mixtape, I did hear this track and played it back a couple of times. I guess it was a premonition of what was to come.
hiphopdx.com just posted up a link to a new song entitled "To The Floor" featuring Rich Boy, Drake, and even Lloyd encouragin' some broad to drop it "to the floor" over a Polow Da Don beat. I was pleased by the track and hope you will be too. In all, I'm glad to see Drake doesn't just leave behind past collaborators who lend a helping hand as he hoists his title for "rookie of the year" (as he mentions in the song). Enjoy...

Chiddy Bang-The Swelly Life (Episode 1)
So Chiddy Bang is creating quite the buzz for themselves. From press releases in major Hip-Hop magazines to international tours, these guys are the next big thing in underground alternative Hip-Hop. Here's a clip of them just doin' them. But be sure to keep note of CB as they're planning on droppin' their debut LP (apparently) at summer's end. Until then, enjoy...

Then And Now: Jin
Remember the days BET's 106 & Park superceded MTV's TRL as the place to get a quality countdown (at least in the black community)? Remember the days when Friday was more than just a signal of forthcoming weekend? Remember the days when you heard about some Asian MC being inducted into "Freestyle Friday" Hall of Fame and getting a record deal with the Ruff Ryders and dropping a single that featured Wyclef Jean? Remember Jin?
In case you don't know about the brief stint Jin spent in the Rap game trying to prove himself to the countless doubters/haters out there (mind you, this was before the days of blogging), it goes a lil' something like this: stand-out rapper gets his 15 minutes of fame on cable television, gets a record deal, drops a lackluster album, receives a lot of criticism, attempts to roll with the punches, and subsequently falls off the face of the Earth.
Well, apparently Jin is back. Now that independent music seems to be the way to go for MCs (veterans and newcomers alike), it only makes sense. Above is his new single "Angels Freestyle" off of his upcoming mixtape Say Something. Below that is a song you probably never heard before. And yes, it DOES feature the Mr. Kanye West. I hope that gives you an indication of the promise he once offered and the accessibility of artists not too long ago. Enjoy... while it lasts.

MUSIC VIDEO: Maino-Get 'Em Tiger
So when I peeped WSHH tonight lookin' to get updated on whatever's occurred in the last day that's Hip-Hop related, I was flabbergasted (excuse the SAT word) to find a video at the top of the page entitled, "Get 'Em Tiger." I've been bumpin' Maino's Tiger Woods inspired joint for as long as it's been out there (which is dating close to half a year now) and when I discovered that the video post was indeed a video for the song, I automatically tuned in. Unfortunately, I was left displeased by the visuals. I mean, I know times are hard and your debut album didn't really push the numbers it should have but damn... a green screen effect worthy of Nick Jr. and unnecessary ass shots to describe why you are like Tiger Woods? C'mon son. Overall, this could have been TEN TIMES BETTER (at least have a story line... and no, goin' through sex addiction therapy facilitated by a sexy psychologist does not count, too typical).
