Read moreI started recording this project in January of 2014 after dropping out of college, quitting a job and losing my mother to cancer. Today (September 25th 2014) would have been her 50th birthday and i made this project in entirety for her truthfully. All of my energy has been put into this piece of work. I appreciate every single one of you taking the time out of your day to lend an ear to this. Let me know how this project makes you feel. -Alex Ruffin

Read moreCoolio sat down with VladTV for an exclusive interview, where he shared his thoughts on white rappers and Lord Jamar’s comments about them being guests in the house of Hip-Hop. He says that he doesn’t agree with the Brand Nubian rapper’s comments, because he believes that if you have talent, color shouldn’t matter. He then speaks about how he forged his own career, and states that he believes that he’s the only West Coast rapper from the hood that went platinum without the help of Ice Cube or Dr. Dre. Coolio adds that he has nothing but love for Dr. Dre, but thinks that he’s “greedy.” The conversation closes with the Compton rapper remarking that he thinks white rappers are taking over the game right now, and he claims that “n****s don’t buy records.” Do you agree with Coolio’s comments?

Read moreThe Internet is one of the most important tools for an up-and-coming artist, and iLOVEMakonnen’s success is a perfect example of how a few thousand streams can lead to greatness. To plenty of people, it probably seems like the Atlanta native by way of Los Angeles has been working toward a record deal since he started making music on house arrest several years ago. All you have to do is go to “that cotdamn YouTube” and see how hard he’s been working. His hit song “Club Going Up on a Tuesday” produced by Sonny Digital and Metro Boomin started blowing up, and after a few weeks, Drake remixed it and the rest, as they say, “is history.” After a brief bidding war with respective labels, Makonnen chose to team up with OVO Sound. With his signature still wet on the contract, he’s performing during the tail end of the Drake vs. Lil Wayne tour, a great look and also a good way to sharpen his live performances. Expectations are sky high, but he’s already set the bar with a Soundcloud filled with tracks, all influenced by his grandmother’s background in opera, a sound that can be heard in everything from “Maneuvering,” released on Drink More Water 4 four months ago, to the opening track of the EP that aided in his fast-track to success two months ago. Find out more in our Who Is iLOVEMakonnen? video above.
