The popularity of Joey Bada$$ keeps on rising due to the people he is associating himself with. It is obvious that Joey has been inspired by Primo as some of his favorite albums include Gang Starr’s Moment of Truth and Nas’ Illmatic and it is awesome that this 18-year old kid is able to work with such a … Continue reading
The other day, I was thinking about the albums that I was excited for this year and Earl’s name came to mind. It made me realize that he has stayed pretty quiet, with the exception of a few features, since he’s been back from Samoa. Today, Earl released this track titled Chum via his Tumblr page. … Continue reading
If you visit this site regularly, or even somewhat often, you have probably noticed that we are pretty big fans of Kendrick Lamar. The Compton MC is by far the most original and versatile rapper that we have come across in some time. For this reason, good kid, m.A.A.d city takes the cake for our most highly … Continue reading

We posted this track off of Homeboy’s recently released album First of a Living Breed about a month ago so I figured why not post the visuals that go along with it which dropped today. The truthfulness behind Homeboy Sandman’s lyricism always makes for some thoughtful listening. Check out the video below.

I like what Action Bronson is doing by releasing full mixtapes with just one producer. It makes for a nice cohesive sound each time. He worked with Tommy Mas on Dr. Lector, Statik Selektah on Well Done, and Party Supplies on Blue Chips. His next project is with one of my favorite producers, The Alchemist … Continue reading
Out of no where A$AP Rocky releases his second single off of LongLiveA$AP featuring some of today’s biggest MCs. This one is produced by 40, who is responsible for much of Drake’s discography, so you know the beat is gonna go hard. I’m not too sure why 2 Chainz does the hook when Drake was a option but … Continue reading
My roommate (from Philly, of course) has been a big advocate of Meek Mill for the past year but I could never get into him because I thought he was just yelling on every track. I could only really listen to him if I was in party mode. With this track, Meek showed a lot … Continue reading
Here’s the newest song release from RZA’s “The Man with the Iron Fists” soundtrack. This “Wu-Tang” track features the likes of Ghosface Killah, Raekwon, and U-God. The Audio Dope can’t get enough of these “Iron Fist” beats and throwback rhymes from some of rap’s greats.
No producer is having a bigger year in 2012 than Hit-Boy. The GOOD Music-signee was the man behind arguably the biggest club hit this year with N*ggas in Paris as well as one of the biggest underground hits with ASAP Rocky’s Goldie. For this one, Hit flips his own instrumental to create a fresh new layout to rap … Continue reading
If you’re reading this you are probably asking who the fuck is ZZ Ward and why is someone like Kendrick on a track with her? I searched my iTunes for the name and found that she was on one of the standout tracks, Insurance, from Asher Roth’s Pabst and Jazz mixtape. This girls got some talent … Continue reading
Here is the first single off Curtis’ final album with Interscope Street King Immortal. After a few years of nothing, 50 has came back on the scene with a mixtape earlier this year (which included this jam with ScHoolboy Q) and now this album. First Date is decent partly because the production is on point. 50 sings the hook … Continue reading
Kid Cudi is one of those artists that I have praised at some points of his career and criticized at others. I was instantly drawn to his unique style after his first two mixtapes, Dat Kid From Cleveland and A Kid Named Cudi and my liking for him only grew when he dropped his debut album, Man on … Continue reading
As we patiently wait for good kid, m.A.A.d city to drop on October 22nd, DubCNN leaks this previously unreleased track that could possibly make the album. After listening a few times, I really hope this one makes it. The track is much different than the two previously released album cuts, The Recipe and Swimming Pools. Over some real mellow production, … Continue reading
Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of Cole World: The Sideline Story, J. Cole’s debut album. In celebration, Cole let this one loose. He decided to cut up Major Laser’s Get Free. Some real nice bars on this chilled out track. Check it out down below
If you’re a Frank Ocean fan, I’m sure you have heard him rap on the Odd Future collective track Oldie and maybe even asked yourself why doesn’t he do that more often? Clearly Frank is more suited to sing but it’s nice to see him change it up with rap track like Blue Whale. He has a … Continue reading
