Since placing his signature on a GOOD Music contract in 2010 the stock has indeed risen for the Clipse's Pusha T, in addition to the 'interest' garnered from particular rappers. If maintaining his online buzz with throwaway dopeness plus (bizarrely) featuring on a track with UK pop singer Pixie Lott, the VA juggernaut has also taken aim at Hip Hop's golden boy Drake on several occasions. If all of the above fail to impress those who doubt the rapper's musical merits, his Fear of God freebie which was released earlier this year garnered much praise for its raw, diamond in the dirt potential. Returning to audio pulpit, Fear of God II hopes to push the Clipse member up to the levels of a main player in the GOOD Music familia.

On the weekend in which the Hip Hop world celebrated the late Notorious B.I.G’s birthday, it was only fitting that one of the few emcees to ever make a song with Frank White would drop something new for the masses. Jadakiss, the man cited as being “Top Five Dead Or Alive,” has remained the people’s favourite due to his early features on Biggie and The L.O.X’s material as well as his steady growth into one of the fiercest with the bars, as proven on various albums and lyrical sparrings. In a move which shows his overwhelming gratitude to his supporters, Kiss’ new mixtape is an offering aimed solely at those who have had his back from day one, the only question now left is whether his love letter endears to his faithful.

Pharrell et al put on the N*E*R*D mask once again and bring us their Hip Hop Rock brand of music in the new album Nothing. Generally, the album gives us what we expect from the NERDs, bottom heavy drum knocking Hip Hop type pop-rock. The lads have obviously been listening to a lot of Quincy Jones because the pumping horns on tracks like ‘Party People’ and ‘Perfect Defect’ are very well produced. What I love is that NERD display a distinct difference between their sound and the Neptunes sound, however there is something that strings them both together.
