Big Sean enlists Drake for “Made”, a track off Sean’s brand new Finally Famous 3. Drake kills it with that cocky flow.

Now you tell me take my time
How bout I just take your city, make that motherfucka mine

I be at the parties where you stuck outside and can’t come in
Call me Ron Burgundy, y’all the other anchormen

The newest from Trey Songz, featuring Drake.  This track should be pretty great once it’s completely mastered, and untagged.  Stay tuned for the CDQ version.

I’ve been sitting on a Best of Freddie Gibbs mixtape that I put together weeks ago. It’s called Freddie Is The Future.

Why the delay? I’ve been sending it to friends who have never heard Gibbs’ music and getting their feedback. In all cases, listening to Freddie Is The Future from front to back turned everyone into a Freddie Gibbs fan. Mission accomplished. Now it’s time to get it out to the masses.

I’ve designed 3 covers for this mixtape, but I’d like the Hipset to pick the final version.

Big Sean, the Hiptics homie, took the Internet by storm when he dropped Finally Famous 3 yesterday. One of the stand out tracks features Sean, Chip Tha Ripper, and Currensy adding fresh verses over a classic instrumental, specifically Luniz’ “I Got 5 On It”.

In this video interview, the spitta sits down with Royaltee Radio in order to discuss his follow-up project to Pilot Talk, which is slated to drop near halloween.  In the interview, Curren$y confirms rumors that artists Camp Lo, Erykah Badu, and Raekwon will definitely be making appearances on the new project.

Tree Sound Studios is a recording studio in Atlanta that I’ve had the pleasure of visiting a few times. On this night, I was in Studio A with Bobby Creekwater and the BGOV fam, but Kardinall Offishal and one of the members of production team J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League having their own sessions in other studios inside the building. There’s five studios total.

During my first session in Studio A with Bobby Creekwater and the BGOV fam, I had the chance to meet Mykel and Groove Chambers, both of who are very talented artists.Mykel spent most of his time in studio A working on a chorus for one of Creek’s songs for The Birth of a Dictator. Groove had stopped in to say what up to Creek and hear some of his new music.

Mykel asked that I take some flicks of the action so this photo above shows Groove Chambers (baby blue fitted), Bobby Creekwater (white tee), and Myke (grey vest) previewing a track of The Birth of a Dictator.

A lot of great music has been made inside Atlanta’s Tree Sound Studios. I know that Lil Wayne, Outkast, Justin Bieber, Akon, Drake, Beyonce, and Usher have all recorded some of their most popular songs inside Tree Sound. Lil Wayne made “Lollipop” there, for example. You can add Bobby Creekwater, Mykel, and Groove to that list because the music they have been working on from inside Tree Sound will be on your iTunes/iPod soon enough.

Wiz Khalifa is calling “Black And Yellow” his “single”, but I’m not sure if he means single for his upcoming major album or single for upcoming mixtape. Have you downloaded all of Wiz Khalifa’s mixtapes?

“Black And Yellow” is an upbeat song that features Wiz singing the praises of his black and yellow car that he drives in “The Kid Frankie” music video. He also boasts about his black and yellow diamonds, which reminded me of a Plies lyric from “Go Live”:

Black diamonds ain’t new, I wore em two albums ago

I’ve been playing Plies “Boosie” for a few days now since it’s the realest record out right now. Today Motion Family debuted part 1 of their 9 part series (“Last Dayz”) documenting Lil Boosie’s last days as a free man. I watched it via RR and felt like it was worth sharing with the Hipset.

9th Wonder’s facial expressions while hearing K.R.I.T.’s new music were similar to the one’s I was making when I first heard Krit Wuz Here at the beginning of the summer. I think 9th Wonder makes a really interesting point about the return of golden-era quality hip-hop coming from my generation. I never thought of it like that. Keep an eye out for Sha Money XL in the clip. The former G-Unit exec is a good man to have in your corner.
