 Don’t worry, Crooked I hasn’t gone all T-Pain on us. While Let Me Buy You a Drink finds the Cali mainstay showcasing a different side of his persona than fans may be used to, it’s… well… a different different side than the title might lead you to expect. Here, the Slaughterhouse emcee emerges as a masterful storyteller. Backed by the subdued production of Danish crew TABU, the rapper steps into the shoes of a drug pusher whose girl left him after learning that he… |

 There are plenty of rappers who will swear up and down that they aren’t in the game for the money – hell, some will do so right after spending several bars boasting about their bankroll and their expensive taste in liquors. Jersey fave Cymarshall Law, however, is one artist whose track record actually bears out that lofty sentiment – thus, when he says “I do this for the love, you gotta Believe This,” on his latest mixtape leak, it’s actually possible to… well… believe it… |

 You may not have realized it considering Colin Munroe’s been a nearly constant presence in the Booth in recent weeks (see Walkin on Air, Diana, Faster, etc.), but the young electro-crooner’s actually be on an extended solo feature hiatus, a hiatus he’s breaking today with the release of I Would Die 4 U, a cover of Prince’s 1984 classic. Like much of his work, Colin produced Die 4 U himself, overhauling Prince’s original, high-energy feel with a trademark synth-soaked beat gives the song a slight… |

 If a sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic (as was famously stated by science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke), then K. Sparks must be the hip-hop equivalent of Gandalf the Grey. That is, if you consider rocking the mic a form of technology… which I guess it isn’t. Never mind – point is, the Queens native (and freestyle series alum) is a force to be reckoned with, and on this latest mixtape leak he proves it yet again. Over a sliced-n-diced soul sample from… |
