Jaymee Franchina & Jeremy Smith – B.I.G. Flume [FREE ALBUM]

Posted by Blas Yaselli - February 14, 2013

It has been a while since I tried to retire all the B.I.G. mashups on The Music Ninja. Big respects to the most Notorious mc’s of all time but there was a time too many producers were releasing mediocre mashups and remixes that just forced us to be in a hipster mode. However, we just cant ignore the latest mashup project by Jaymee Franchina & Jeremy Smith giving B.I.G. a fresh new platform to consume his lyrical talent with an incredible backdrop of Australian producer Flume’s immaculate production. In a conservative mix of chillwave and hip/hop, the duo manages to create powerful new renditions of classic tracks for modern consumption.

[Hip-Hop] Asher Roth – Dude (feat. Curren$y)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - February 13, 2013

Asher Roth took to Twitter a few minutes ago to drop off a new track featuring the always dope New Orleans emcee, Curren$y. Over the minimal, but dope, production of Blended Babies, Roth spits an entertaining, goofy stream of consciousness demonstrating why he is one of the more underrated rappers out right now. Curren$y, fresh off one of his dopest projects yet, picks up the pace a bit in his verse with out losing the light feel of the song. Stream and download this gem below.

[Hip-Hop] Yelawolf – Way Out

Posted by tylercole - February 13, 2013

It has been a minute since we heard some new music from southern emcee Yelawolf. After breaking onto the scene with a dope mixtape and a great debut album, Radioactive, he remained relatively quiet. Fortunately for fans of the Shady Records rapper, he broke his silence earlier this week with a SupaHotBeats produced banger. This mix of spaced-out, cosmic, synth-heavy and southern beats make this a solid lead single off the upcoming Trunk Muzik Returns. Fans of the Alabama spitter should make sure to check out the track below and cop the tape when it drops March 14th, via Yelawolf.com

[Video] Drake – Started From The Bottom

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - February 11, 2013

Last week, we received a look at Drake‘s new single, “Started From The Bottom,” from his upcoming album, Nothing Was The Same. Just as promised, we now have the official visuals too, which dropped right after The Grammy’s (where Drake’s Take Care won the award for Best Rap Album). Shot in his native Toronto, Drizzy runs us through his ascent from the “bottom” to the top, with a whole lot of clowning in between. After watching the video, it’s hard to consider the song as anything other than a joke. It’s nice to see that Drizzy can have some fun with the concept, even when he’s trying to act hard. If you’re feeling the single, you can cop it on iTunes now.
