New Music: Miguel x Kendrick Lamar “How Many Drinks (Remix)”

Track seven off Miguel’s Kaleidoscope Dream gets reupholstered with a verse from Kendrick Lamar. Unless we’ve been drinking, Lil Kenny sounds a lil’ like Lil Wayne.

A$AP Twelvyy feat. Da$h " Jay Reed " (Official Video)

I definitely appreciate what the whole a$ap movement is doing for hiphop. And with this one, a$ap Twelvy does not disappoint. Shot in a very grudging 90's era style, "Jay Reed" definitely captures the raw realities of what inner city life can be like sometimes. I liked this one, I thought it was dope. And using part of Mobb Deep's famous, or shall I say infamous, "Shook One's" hook definitely added a real great element to the track. Once again, a$ap does not disappoint. ~alx.O

Stalley Breaks Down His New Single "Swangin"

I can't say to much about Stalley other than I liked his mixtape. I think he has a very unique quality about him and his music feels good to listen to. This video did a good job though of showing a bit of who Stalley the person is, and it only made me want check out the album when it drops. Mission accomplished. ~alx.O


The Untouchable Empire Presents Stalley in the studio with Rick Ross breaks down the making of his new single "Swangin" and what it meant to have the legendary Scarface appear on the record as well. Documented by Jon J. #StalleyAlbumComing

Fabolous - Ready (Explicit) ft. Chris Brown

Can't knock Fabo, he's still really great at what he does and this track just further proves that. ~alx.O

Rick Ross "UOENO" Lyrics Controversy - The Truth with Elliott Wilson

Personally, I think Rick Ross just dropped the ball on this one. In pursuit of another hit record, he unintentionally condoned rape with his lyrics. And I say "unintentionally" because I don"t actually believe that he condones rape but I do think he, like many people unfortunately, didn't take it as seriously as he should have when he wrote the lyric. Rape is a severely serious and sensitive subject and I'm sure he's kicking himself in the ass for even taking it there. Simply put, Rozay put his foot in his mouth and now he's paying for it. But hey, your live and you learn and he's definitely learning a hard lesson with this one. ~alx.O


Today on The Truth, Elliott tackles a recent, more serious controversy centered around some Rick Ross' lyrics that describe him drugging a woman's drink in the club and then later sexually assaulting her without her knowledge or consent. The public backlash against these blatant lyrics shows signs of the end of the acceptance of violence against women in hip hop. What are your thoughts on this controversy? Sound off in the comments with #TheTruth and you could be chosen to participate in an upcoming Google+ Hangout with Elliott!

Beyonce and Jay-Z's controversial trip

Although, I don't think them taking this trip had any political inclinations, I do agree with the senator that they should be courteous and respectful about it. What is just a vacation for them, is also a difficult reality for someone else. Other than that, I have no other opinions. ~alx.O

Dj Drama interviews Kendrick Lamar & Schoolboy Q

Kendrick Lamar & Schoolboy Q stop by Gangsta Grill Radio !!!

Nicki Minaj - Up In Flames [Music Video]

In this one, Nicki gives us yet another reason to respect her grind. Love her or hate her, she definitely is  part of current dominating force in Hip Hop and I guess she felt the need to remind people of that. Remind "whom" is hard to say exactly, as the rapper has garnished hate from various different females in the game, most notably The "Queen Bee" herself lil Kim. But overall I think the song is a solid track, the beat is dope, the bars are dope, and the visuals definitely felt appropriate. I ride with it. ~alx.O

Young Buck "Rubberband Banks" Official Video

I can't front, after his separation from G-Unit, I though that was the last we'd ever hear of Young Buck. But it's a pleasant surprise to hear new music post G-Unit, that is actually really good. "RubberBand Banks" showcases a more mature Buck and his piercingly deep lyrics become the driving force behind this track. A notable line he said was "I went from balling, bankrupt, back to balling again." I support this track 100% ~alx.O
