@youngthug and @mikewill #iNeedChickens is an unfinished track released by someone allegedly connected to Mike Will's camp. I'll post this because, Will and Thugga have been cooking up something for a while and I like the sample.

@ericksermon @methodman @redman - #Clutch is that gem that every hiphop head will blast...I know I am. Erick Sermon screams Death Squad in his bars of Clutch.

@horseshoegang @royceda59 - #FOE was spilled to the DFW market when Royce graced the metroplex with his presence. F.O.E (Family Over Everything), is from Horseshoe Gang, a four man rap group from Long Beach, California. This heat comes with additional fire from Royce Da 5’9 and the production style of Jonathan Elkaer and Tabu.

@timeizmoney - #OnlyYou is the debut single from the duo Time Iz Money. Produced by Omito, this track sounds as if it should've been included in the 2015 cult classic movie "Dope." This feels like ‘90s hip-hop, and is featured on the groups upcoming project, Suicide Kings, scheduled for release in August.

@runthejewels @boots - #Meowrly is kind of a strange but damn good single. It's actually a remix featuring and produced by BOOTS, which is the first taste of the upcoming Meow The Jewels album. El-P and Killer Mike debuted Meowrly, is made up of nothing but cat sounds...Yep!

@majorlazer @tydollasign - #LeanOn is a remix from Major Lazer Lean On (Remixes) EP project. The project itself features six remixed versions. This remix version has been unleashed, featuring Ty Dolla $ign, but did not make the cut. Some say it's the best version of the song.

Dru Hill's 20 Year Reunion

Whaaaattt? Its been almost 20 years. 

Dru Hill is dropping another album next year for their 20th anniversary!!  I remember “We’re Not Making Love No More, How Deep Is Your Love, It’s All About Me, In My Bed, and Beauty” like it was yesterday. In SisQo’s recent interview on The Real, he divulged this secret he's been holding on to…

Tamar Braxton: Now how does the Last Dragon compare to your other albums?

SisQo: It’s funny, a lot of people ask me why I went with the name Last Dragon. And it’s actually gonna be my last album.

The Real hosts: Aww.

SisQo: Well, I’m doing something else. I’m moving into film and television.

Adrienne Bailon: That’s awesome, so we’ll still be seeing you.

Tamar Braxton: Amazing! That don’t mean you gotta stop singing though. I’m just saying.

SisQo: Well I mean, I still sing with Dru Hill. So for the record, we never broke up! And 2016 is our twentieth anniversary, so we’re gonna do another album.

Tamar Braxton: Yay!

SisQo: So I guess that will be the last one!
