Khujo Goodie "Fine Print"

Khujo Goodie has been on a roll lately, as illustrated with his latest single, "Fine Print" from his forthcoming album, Area 51. The track follows previous releases including the mid-tempo groove "So Good," though this go-around the Goodie Mob legend is in warning mode, urging folks to "read the fine print, the devil is in the details" in between unleashing observations like, "social media turned consumers into zombies." Area 51 arrives on November 10. Peep his latest track below.

Keith Murray "Seasoning"

Keith Murray is back with "Seasoning," a bass-heavy track which finds him in his element, reminding everyone that "Spiritually, mentally, musically, Keith Murray got that seasoning." Check out the track below.

Paul Wall x Termanology, Start Finish Repeat

Paul Wall and Termanology have connected for their 14-track joint effort, Start Finish Repeat. The album has a range of features, from NEMS and Sheek Louch to AZ, Big K.R.I.T., and Bun B on the new single, "Houston BBQ." Produced by Large Professor, "Houston BBQ" is everything the name suggests — grounded, syrupy and lush. As Bun says straight out the gate, he's been "waiting a long time to rock to one of these Large Professor beats." He shows that's the case too, opening the track with gusto before Paul (who is rocking his fresh new haircut in the video) hops on with his signature smooth drawl. Check out the track below.

Westside Gunn, And Then You Pray For Me

Westside Gunn is back with a new album, And Then You Pray For Me. It's jam-packed with features including RZA, Rick Ross, Jeezy, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, J.I.D., DJ Drama, Giggs, Ty Dolla $ign, Denzel Curry, Stove God Cooks, Tay Keith, Boldy James, EST Gee, Rome Streetz, Daringer, Conductor Williams, and Beat Butcha. The album pays homage to Westside Gunn's late friend Virgil Abloh, who still serves as a creative inspiration.

“I have Virgil Abloh doing my artwork and who left on earth can say that” Westside Gunn said in a release. “I cannot disrespect his legacy, he’s immortal and I feel this is his way of blessing me; even though he’s not here in the physical.” 

The Hoodies & Kid Capri, Hidden Gems

The Hoodies, brothers Eben “E-Class” Nettles and Umar “Young Poppa” Abrams from Upstate New York, have dropped a new album, Hidden Gems, produced entirely by Hip-Hop legend Kid Capri. The 12-track project features the lead single "I'm Hot," which showcases Capri's signature scratches over grimy, hard-hitting production, providing the perfect backdrop for E-Class and Young Poppa's dexterous lyrical abilities.

"Our new record 'I’m Hot' was inspired by the golden era of Hip-Hop," E-Class said in a press release. "It’s 50th anniversary of hip-hop so why wouldn’t we bring back that nostalgic boom bap feel? The creation process was incredible. Kid Capri threw some mixes and scratches right there on the spot to compliment the beat, while Pop and I delivered with the witty, punchline, metaphor heavy lyrics. 'Hidden Gems' will be the album to restore that classic hip-hop feel back to culture. Real concepts, real lyrics, real life."

Mozzy, "If I Die Right Now"

Mozzy returns with a new video for "If I Die Right Now," a somber track that finds the talented Sacramento MC in reflective mode, which means he's at the top of his game lyrically.

“There’s times I wanna be alone, Granny died on the same couch I use to sleep on, I can hear voices that’s sayin’ keep goin’, destined for greatness, I been knowin’, just happy I get to show it, watch h**la, my n**gas blow it, apprehended for a blower that carried multiple bodies, dropped on his lawyer to show him I really got him, still Lil’ Tim if you knew me ‘fore I was Mozzy, s**t brazy, we really made it…” he offers on the track.
