Still dealing with the pain of losing his friend Michael “Frogg” Reshard to gun violence last month, Jayceon puts his thoughts to paper and releases a new tribute record. Word is this will appear on his upcoming mixtape, but with a name like #OKE: Operation Kill Everything, I’d like to think not.

Back in 2008, Atmosphere’s frontman checked in with Mr. Peter Parker on B96 and went off the head for a good eight minutes to help promote the first ever Soundset festival. Flash forward six years and the Rhymesayers Entertainment curated festival is bigger than ever and is going down this Sunday in Shakopee, MN. Currently sitting in a hotel room in downtown MPLS waiting for my fourth experience of the festivities, me and the homie Zeke decided to bring this clip back to the top of the 2DBZ pages for y’all to enjoy.

Atlanta, GA and Oslo, Sweden Among New Cities
Kanye West made an announcement this afternoon (May 24th) via Twitter. The hip-hop superstar revealed the new locations of “New Slaves� video projections that will take place throughout this coming Memorial Day weekend in 24 different cities around the world. Atlanta, Cannes, Philadelphia, Oslo, San Diego and Austin are all among the cities around the world expected to see projections. West premiered "New Slaves" last weekend with a music video that was projected onto 66 buildings around the world in cities ranging from New York City to London to his hometown of Chicago. |
Outside of a couple loosies and some guest appearances, Gangsta Gibbs has been rather quiet since his departure from Young Jeezy and CTE. All that’s gonna change though as Gibbs recently took to Twitter to reveal his upcoming plans. On top of his ESGN (East Side Gary N*ggas) getting a July release month, we’re also apparently getting his highly-anticipated Cocaine Pinata project with Madlib and Str8 Killa 2 before Winter. And with hashtags like #FuckALLmyEnemies #AllImdoinIsDissRaps and #TheBadGuyIsBack, I’d say we’re all in for some heat. Check the actual updates below.
My new album #ESGN out in July.
