Am I too mature to make juvenile jokes about Rihanna and Young Jeezy’s new video for their smash single “Hard”? Apparently not. An oddly darkly militaristic video featuring no shortage of scandalous Rihanna outfits, this one’s sure to have people talking. See more…
Fresh off her quasi-porn single “Russian Roulette” - which did good-but-not-great numbers - Rihanna’s back on the scene with “Hard”, a dark, more street-oriented banger featuring about 30 seconds of her singing random vowels in the intro and a typically gritty verse from Young Jeezy (loved the “Louis Mane” line from Jeezy).

It kind of pains me that I’ve got to include DJ Khaled’s name on this, considering the man doesn’t do anything besides put his name on things, but that’s just how the game goes. In any case, Khaled’s released his latest track “Fed Up” featuring Usher, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and Drake. In other words it’s his version of “Forever”. See more to listen and download…
If you like hardcore Miami rap, Rick Ross’ beard and vehicular freshness, today is a big day for you. Up-and-coming rap crew Triple C’s (a.k.a. the Carol City Cartel) released their debut album “Custom Cars and Cycles” today they’re celebrating with a new video for their single “Erryday” ft. Young Jeezy plus a full stream of the album. See more to watch and listen…
The Snowman’s back! His latest cut “Trap or Die 2” was produced by trap music favorite Zaytoven (hence the slowly stuttering percussion) and comes off the Snowman’s upcoming “Thug Motivation 103.” Frankly I’d be surprised if this cut is on the final album, it gives new meaning to the word “minimalistic.” but if Jeezy’s hip-hop’s last great action hero than “Trap or Die 2” is like Rambo 3: not as good as the original, but still a good time.
I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong, and I was wrong about Young Jeezy (kind of). Back when the snowman first hit the scene I thought he was more style than substance, but Jeezy’s been steadily upping his game. In fact, if his newly leaked track “I Got This” is any indication, the man’s developing some serious soul on the mic.
