Kings Dead “Revenge Of The Beast”
These guys have always been one of my favorite duos, been listening to them since they were called The Dean’s List back in the day. They have a similar setup to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis as far as how the group is formed, Sonny Shotz is the artist and Alexander Mendoza does all the production. Their work is always top notch, from the beats to the lyrics, and this album/mixtape is no different. Definitely some of the most under rated cats in the game. You can get the album version on iTunes, or grab the free mixtape version HERE.

Timbaland signs to Roc Nation
It’s no surprise this deal went through, if you look at past documentaries of Jay-Z’s career Timbaland has always been there supplying some serious fire when it comes to instrumentals. Jay-Z released the picture above last night with a caption saying “Roc Nation welcomes Timbaland to the family.”
Hudson Mohawke Signs With G.O.O.D. Music
It was only a matter of time til HudMo got scooped up by someone! Not at all surprised that it was Kanye’s camp after Mohawke helped to create some of the biggest hits off G.O.O.D’s Cruel Summer album last year. One of the 2 members of TNGHT, Hudson Mohawke’s management took to Twitter first to make the announcement, and then following up via email, United’s Simon White confirmed that HudMo “signed to Very GOOD Beats as a producer this week.” Very GOOD Beats is the production component of G.O.O.D. Music that also counts Hit-Boy among its roster.
Interested to see what happens next! Mohawke helped to create the beat for Mercy, along with 4-5 other tracks on the Cruel Summer album. Check out one of his tracks from his TNGHT project with fellow producer Lunice.
DJ Khaled facing Eviction over Unpaid Rent
It now makes sense why DJ Khaled is pushing his new album so much, he’s got rent to pay. All jokes aside DJ Khaled may be facing eviction from his apartment in Miami after being charged to pay $55,000 in back rent according to TMZ. Khaled had agreed to pay two payments of $66,000 for rent when he signed his lease and made the first payment but never came through on the second one. So now the owner of the building has filed an eviction notice and is suing Khaled for the left over money. Hopefully this all gets cleared up and doesn’t ruin his album promo buzz too much.

Danny Brown and AraabMuzik make a song from Scratch (Video)
This is where you like to see producers, in their own element and showing us how everything is done. AraabMuzik and Danny Brown got together recently to make a song from scratch, literally from nothing to something. Araab kills it on the MPC and production as always, while Danny Brown explains how he approaches writing for the song and also going off top. This video was really impressive because it sounds like the song is about to be perfect with the two of them on it. Here’s the studio footage…
New Rap Beef: A$AP Rocky vs. SpaceGhost Purp
So there’s been a few new beefs developing this Summer in hip-hop if you haven’t noticed. It all started off with the Drake and Lil’ Wayne vs. Pusha T, then Drake vs. Chris Brown, and now we have a new one with A$AP Rocky vs. producer SpaceGhost Purp. Apparently SpaceGhost said that the entire A$AP Mob stole his style and that’s why he is no longer working with them. So A$AP Rocky was interviewed on the red carpet the other day at an award show and had this to say about it…
