Kanye cosigned them, Dipset endorsed them, Dipset Fans in the US loved them, so checkout their version of Ye’s “Monster”. I use to mock their accent, and quote thier lyrics as a simple mockery, and it ended up me downloading two of their mixtapes in the heat of the Dipset era, and becoming a fan. So don’t sleep on the UK accent, cuz these brothers have bars.

S.A.S. – Munstars

Im a big Dipset fan but until Cam is on stage and they all mesh then you will have something epic. I dont want no Cam emailed his verse to Juelz who emailed it to Jim, and they all never on stage at the same time to perform it, or better yet do a green screen video because they are all never in the same room at the same time. When they all mesh together we will see something similar to that NBA team down South Beach.

The newest addition to my iTunes playlist, Nipsey has my official Co-Sign. I dont think anyone can do better than Nicki on this track if you ask me.

Nipsey Hu$le – Monster Freestyle

I fucks with this one take video, especially that night/ day transition between Chill and Twan verses.

Antwan ’Twan D’ Davis was born in the heart of North Philadelphia, with creativity running through his veins. A jack of all trades from birth, Twan D, has been a avid sports fan/player, artist, and musician. With a greater outlook on life than other’s in his surroundings Twan D ventured out of the mean streets of North Philadelphia to other parts of the city to help create a well-rounded sound. While attending Bartram Motivation High School he took on the moniker Twan D, and his hip hop endeavors were born. Not only a gifted rapper, but a stellar producer, Twan D crafted tracks that showcases his and other’s skills. Later, while attending Millersville University he teamed up with Chill Moody and Tha ESTablishmynt. With, his new mixtape “iTOLDuSo!” set to be released in January, he is ready to take his sound to a global stage.

It looks like Soulja Boy(or at least someone on Soulja Boy’s twitter account) has finally responded to a line Fabolous had about him in his recent freestyle. Soulja Boy was tweeting all night from Vegas and then tweets aimed at Fabolous starting coming in one after the other. Was he hacked? Did he get drunk and vent? Lol who knows, we will see the explanation in the morning.

Update: So some of the tweets got deleted and some are still there. The ones with threats are gone but, “FABOULOUS U LAME AS F*** NIGGA LOL U MAKE ME LAUGH U WEAK ASS NIGGA.” is still there. If he were hacked wouldn’t they all be gone? We will have to wait for an explanation.

Cole will be dropping a new mixtape soon.

J.Cole – Villematic

Chris Brown’s single “Deuces” may have hit the top of the Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop chart last week, but the breakup track has also conquered another chart. This week, “Deuces” sits atop the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, moving from No. 2 to 1 and scoring him his first No. 1 on that chart since 2006.

The Tyga and Kevin McCall-assisted track, which has spent nine weeks climbing towards the top of the chart, also ties for this year’s speediest ascent to No. 1 (Monica’s “Everything to Me” accomplished the same feat over the same period of time in April). It marks the third time that Breezy has held the crown on the chart, with previous chart-toppers including “Run It!” in 2005 and “Say Goodbye” in 2006.

“#1 single in the country and the #1 movie in the country. life has turned around for me.i couldnt be more happier. thanks to the fans,” he tweeted.

With his recent No. 1 smash and the success of his action film Takers, C.B. is capitalizing on his newfound accomplishments with his next single, “Calypso.” The Polow Da Don-produced track will be released soon.
