Iggy Azalea - “Whatchu Lookin At” | New Music
Looking to set the tone for the year ahead is rapstress Iggy Azalea with her brand new freestyle cut “Whatchu Lookin At.”
The track sees the Aussie Grand Hustler following the current but-soon-to-be-worn-out trend of "EDM-Trap-Rap," but ironically finds her sounding a whole lot more at home on said production than much of her previous work.
Aside from that, I genuinely believe the track is evidence of how much she has upped her game as a "rapper," with both her flow and cadence showing signs of improvement. Check it out for yourself...

Touch talking, no bullshit emcee Sean Price has had us (his starving fans) "patiently" waiting for the release of his Mic Tyson LP for a very, very long time.

That is, until Mandela P decided to bless the Internets with "Smoov P" - a track recorded during his Mic Tyson sessions but unfortunately was left on the cutting room floor. Read more
