North Carolina super producer 9th Wonder got a chance to get in-studio with rising Mississippi MC/producer, Big K.R.I.T. recently and thankfully Jonny Shipes was there to record his reaction to hearing the his song, "Children of the World" and "Something" from the mixtape, K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. (Thus far, my album of the year).
9th also explained his theory that the type of hip hop he came up with skipped a generation before it was appreciated again. Kinda interesting.
Twitter is making previously unbelievable remixes happen in real life.
Teen idol Justin Bieber can thank the magic Twitter machine for the remix to his single, "Runaway Love" which features Raekwon (Yes, the one from the Wu-Tang Clan) and Kanye West.
The song leaked today on HipHopConnection.com, click here to hear it.
Bieber already had a strangle hold on the 'burbs, let's see what happens when the streets starts rockin' with him. I never thought I'd say that.
Here's a unique spin on the Beyonce song "Single Ladies" by Sara Bareilles. Bareilles will be at the Neighborhood Theatre on Oct. 14.

Like how many rappers want their music to sound like, "if John Hughes made beats," sample The Pixies and cite Weezer as their major influence? Not many. I got a chance to catch up with the newest Warner Bros. recording artist, XV, moments after he finished his set at Tremont Music Hall on Aug. 18 and talked about his first record deal (less than 2 weeks after he signed it), the journey there and what's in store.
