I'm not going to lie to you, some of the greatest people on the interwebs are citizens of RefinedHype Nation, but their skills go well beyond the keyboard. Case in point, Tino (aka BitCloud7), who in addition to being a top MBOW guesser just so happens to be a legit emcee. Listen and download...
If there's one thing rappers need, it's to stop making "I'm so high my eyes look Chinese" references. But if there's two things rappers need, it's beats that weren't made by their retarded cousin on Fruity Loops. Thankfully today we can now do you even better - how does eleven of production crew SMKA's best beats of 2011 sound?
So here's the deal. Rick Ross' new mixtape, "Forever Rich", is scheduled to drop in about an hour. But if you know anything about rappers and punctuality, that means if will probably come out in June...and when it does it will be through a ZShare link that crashes in 47 seconds.

Last week I was stumbling through my garage, searching through old storage bins, when I came across some old beat CDs from my days as a signed Interscope rapper. I was shocked to find that two of them, both given to me in 2001, had the name Kanye West on them. These two beat CDs, now celebrating their 10 year anniversary and I believe the oldest Kanye beats ever released, are here for your enjoyment. See more...
It's been a really weird week for me musically. I spent the last few days listening to Common's "The Dreamer / The Believer", quickly transitioned to Young Jeezy's "TM103" and will now be spending my afternoon digesting Asher Roth's new project, "Pabst & Jazz". Yep, in 48 hours I've gone from epic hip-hop to unapologetic trap rap to a steady stream of semi-incepherable nerd references.
The Kid Daytona is definitely one of those artists I've come to slowly. I've heard his name around for a minute and enjoyed the tracks I heard here or there, but it's only in the lead up to his new project, "The Interlude II", that I really started to pay attention - and I'm digging what I'm hearing.

I'm 99% sure that analogy didn't make any sense, forget it ever happened. Here's what you need to know. Wais P has a new project out called "Premo Pimpin", featuring The Pimp going in entirely over Premo beats, that's dope. You should listen to it. Listen and download...
So here's the deal. Despite having exponentially more money than the thousands of rappers who put out successful projects every year, and being a self-described boss and savvy businessman, 50 Cent apparently can't figure out how to drop a mixtape. I'd love to actually be talking about the music instead of this travashamockery, but there are eleventy-billion links for Fiddy's "Big 10" mixtape. Listen and download...
I know what you're thinking. Man, Drake's "Take Care' was a pretty good album, even with all the unicorn kissing and comfy sweaters, but I really wish there was a way I could listen to it for two hours while drinking massive amounts of Sprite and codeine. Well today your prayers have been answered by chopped n' screwed co-founder OG Ron C and his new "Chop Care" mixtape.
Apologizing for listening to Juicy J is like apologizing for watching porn. It's not something you mention to your grandmother and if you consume too much you'll end up dysfunctional, but in moderation....come on, who doesn't enjoy some porn/Juicy J now and again? The man is to ignorant rap what Shakespeare was to, well, the entire English language. Listen and download...
