MMG’s big fat burger man Rozay drops off a soft subtle cooler with new track the Jadakiss-featuring “Oil Money Gang”. With each successive LP, Ross seems to up the tax bracket on his instrumental, “Oil Money Gang” is luxurious rich dude rap that very few in the hip hop world can convincingly pull off, including the big fat burger man.

Surprise, surprise. Angel Haze drops new track “No Bueno” and almost unbelievably it absolutely smangs. Rapid fire body shot after rapid fire body shot over a hyper-dynamic sweeping instrumental, “No Bueno” will be included on Ms. Haze’s forthcoming major label debut, Dirty Gold.

You already know what this is. Listening to Joey Bad rhyming about Metatron, fuck yo couch, & George Pataki over a top of his class jazz piano-inflected Statik Selektah is something akin to flying or teleporting or something else equally bangin. “Summer Knights” drops June 12.

Giftz and Tree grab a few of their brahs (incl. faves Kami de Chukwu, Joey Purp & Dally Auston) for this posse remix to their track “Nino”. “I took her home and I enjoyed that”, the Rick Ross “UOENO” verse shots continue to pour in (maybe the fourth or fifth one this week) and could conceivably be a genre unto themselves about now. p.s. “Nino” samples a B3SCI consensus all-time favorite track in Tammi Terrell’s “All I Do Is Think Of You”.

Funkmaster Flex lets loose another burner from French’s upcoming Excuse My French LP with “We Go Wherever We Want”. Not only does the track sample Wu-Tang’s classic ’95 track “Ice Cream”, FM gets some assistance from Wu Man Chef in the form of a fresh sixteen bars. French’s flow is the same here as it is on just about every track he’s on (not that we’re complaining necessarily); you could put these rhymes over “Pop That”, “Shot Caller”, “Freaks” w/e and probably have a cool “mash-up”. R&B’s most influential receding hairline Ne-Yo brings his usual high flying panache to the hook. Excuse My French is due May 21st

Mont Brown graces us with some new high quality stripper music, right in time for the summer. The bounce on these particular tracks is for dat ass and I like it that way. It’s always more fun to hear that the underdog is balling because it [Mont] represents the grind. Featured Al 1 Thing wins with the rapper/singer combination, even in these cliche times; his continually elevating bars showcase that he’s much more than just cute for girls. I also love that Pace-O Beats is a producer with quality songwriting ability, not the common beat-maker who wishes he was so. By Teddy Pendergrass
