Automatic post anytime I see Roc Marciano and Action Bronson on the same track. Listen to Meyhem Lauren’s new one “Bonus Round,” featuring Roc and Bam Bam, with Harry Fraud on the boards and Big Body Bes with the shit-talk. Beautiful.

Pot In The Latkes
Music, VideosStraight outta White Plains comes MC Flow with a brand new hip-hop Hanukah jam for dat ass, “Pot in the Latkes.” MC Flow was a schoolmate of mine (WPHS class of ’95), and though I would’ve never pinned her back then as someone who could spit bars, I gotta admit, she’s got flow! And of course, I love the idea of putting pot in latkes—brilliant. Major props for this one, it’s fun.
On a related note, I’ll be performing as part of the Hoodies For Hanukah show at Mercury Lounge this Sunday, December 13th, and I’ve got some very special guests coming out with me so come celebrate end of the holiday with ya boy.
Blues Bling
Music, VideosEveryone and their moms has offered up a cover recently of Drake’s infectious “Hotline Bling” single. But my favorite of all the covers is by my dude Son Little, who gave it a bluesy, raspy twist. Check the live, in-studio, overseas performance above, and stream the official recorded version HERE. And go pick up that Son Little LP if you don’t have it yet, I co-sign it heavily.
Bay Baby
Music, VideosI don’t know much about Kamaiyah other than that she’s from the same city I was born in—Oakland—and that she’s on some next shit. Peep the video above for “How Does It Feel” and tell me homegirl ain’t sick with it. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Bar Brothers
Music, VideosWestside Gunn and Conway are the illest rap duo out right now. Props to Tony Touch for lacing them up with the Group Home Livin’ Proof album intro instrumental to rock over, amazing beat selection. These dudes murk this shit. And what’s really crazy is Conway (left) recently survived being shot in the head! This is street rap excellence—salute.
Reppin’ For Moms
Music, VideosYo this video is so dope. Psyched for this solo Wiki project. Gotta respect how he reps for his mom-dukes on this one. lil me drops December 7th.
UPDATE: Here it is.
Hate Is Earned
MusicOh shit. Wiki on a Black Milk beat?!? I think my head just exploded (in a good way). And according to the Soundcloud post, “NEW WIKI COMING SOON.” That’s what’s up.

Buffalo Bully
MusicI interviewed Buffalo’s own Westside Gunn a couple months back for NahRight. Dude is definitely one of my favorite rappers out right now, as is his brother Conway. Check out Gunn’s new shit “Mr. T” produced by Detroit beat monster Apollo Brown. I love the sample on this, so soulful.
And check out Conway’s new project REJECT 2 here, featuring Gunn, Roc Marci, and more. Hard bars and beats, top to bottom. Can’t wait for the “Rex Ryan” video!
Red Apple Kings
MusicPeace everyone. I’m officially bringing Westcheddar back with this post. Over the past couple years I’ve been so busy writing at my full-time job and for other music publications that I let Westcheddar slip away. But fuck that. Westcheddar is my baby, it’s where my writing career really got its start. So I’m still gonna continue putting in work, but I’m coming back here for good, too. And what better way to set shit back off than with some new A.G. and Roc Marciano. Shouts to Ray West on the beat, this one’s a beauty.
Porno For Pyros
Music, UncategorizedThis new Droog is crazy. Props to DJ Skizz once again for lacing the track. This is one of my favorite beats I’ve heard in a long time, and Droog spazzes. These guys are a force to be reckoned with right now, I like what they’ve been up to. Keep it up, fellas.
