Necro to Release Latest EP – Murder Murder Kill Kill

January 2nd, 2012 | By Safiyyah

Necro is taking his wild side with his up for a “bad ass” release of an album entitled “The Murder Murder Kill Kill EP” by label Psych Logical Records, January 17, 2012.

Necro said that, “I am not rushing a monumental project like ‘The Godfathers’, so this EP will hold you over til it drops.” Necro is taking his time to make sure that he gives the fans what they deserve in music quality and content.

Of the things to expect from Necro’s latest release is that The Godfathes and Gruesome Twosome will be featured on his New EP, which will hype up what Necro calls “brutal hip hop” with that flair the fans are waiting for.

One of the key aspects of this album is the album cover which Necro says is the “sickest sh*t released by any hip hop artist”. This reflects Necro’s music to bring the “bad” out in good music, as many fans are looking forward to the album’s release.

Necro has been collaborating with Kool G Rap amidst the production of the album, as well as a project with the Gfathers. Necro has been hitting the Hip Hop scene with a unique style in rap, namely “death rap”. This sub-genre combines explicit rap about violence, occult, and sex. Necro is known for his unique release of concept songs, something rap artists seldom do. These songs combine ideas that convey messages which are sometimes controversial but full of depth. Necro keeps it cool by paving his own image in the Hip Hop scene.

But in between the constant daily grind are breaths that make up our existence and it never hurts to question your place in the world.”

Some of the awaited titles to expect in this upcoming album are “Angels & Demons” and “The Realist”.

Also, the full-length street LP will feature Minnesota team Trakhouse Productions, DJ Pain 1, Big Fraze, J. Cardim, Louis G, Black Metaphor, and GZ Beats.

Yelawolf Drops Album and Discusses His Career

December 3rd, 2011 | By Safiyyah

The next “white rapper” on the rise, Yelawolf released a new album this week called Radioactive. He is signed under Shady Records, under the most infamous “white rapper” ever, Eminem/Slim Shady. Yelawolf had an interview where he discussed the term “white rapper” in the hip hop industry. Unlike what most would expect, he isn’t fazed by it.

“I don’t hate the term ‘white rapper,’” he explained. “It’s fully relevant and will always be… It’s important to hold to the culture as it is, no matter how abrasive that [term] might sound or it might be. Race is still real and you got to recognize it.”

Then in an interview with Billboard after his “Deal or No Deal” tour with Wiz Khalifa, he talked about Interscope Records, “After that [tour], things just started happening,” said Yela, who then explained why Interscope was a good fit for him. “The big difference is walking into a meeting with Jimmy Iovine at his house as opposed to an office, and getting congratulations for all we’ve done, and they’re just saying, bluntly, ‘We just want to be involved. We want to be a docking station for you to come and refuel and go back out and do what you do.’ That’s exactly what they said, ‘fuel station.’ It feels right-important.”
He even discussed his ten-year plan:

“We all want longevity. I have a ten-year goal, so I could be like David Grohl or something. I want to be like [Eminem], [Jay-Z], Anthony Kiedis, Kid Rock. They’re getting older and they’re great, touring the world, making a good living. That’s the goal I’m trying to achieve.”

December 3rd, 2011 | By Safiyyah

Rumors have been flying that Drake was going to leave Young Money. These allegations spurred after he decided to leave one of his management teams. While he was performing at a concert in Hartford, Connecticut, he addressed these rumors, confirming that he will not be leaving his hip hop “family”.

“I’ll tell you if you wake up in the morning and you think Young Money ain’t my team, you out of your motherfucking mind,” he said. “My brother Lil Wayne is all the way in Australia right now, but I got my camera on in the back and I just want to let him know how much me and Hartford got for him. So if you got love for Lil Wayne, make some noise!”

You can see the video below:

On the other end of the spectrum, Nicki Minaj, also a Young Money artist, talked about her Sophomore album “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which is scheduled to be released on Valentine’s Day 2012. She recently dropped a teaser single called Roman in Moscow, where she raps from her alter ego’s perspective “Roman Zolanski”.

“When I say it’s a teaser, it’s like a trailer to the movie, it’s like setting the stage and I just wanted to touch the surface. It’s the wackest thing on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.”

Nicki Minaj was nominated for Best New Artist for the 2012 Grammies. She said that there will be a video for the single coming soon, then went on further, explaining the song.

“Well, he was there [in Moscow] secretly because [alter ego] Martha wanted him to go there, so they put him in this thing with monks and nuns; they were trying rehabilitate him,” she continued. “But I can’t tell exactly what happened, you’ll just see it in the video format, but let’s just say he got out of there.”
