Nipsey Hussle feat. Rich Homie Quan & Young Thug – Choke [Stream]

Ouuueee. Nipsey Hussle gives us some new music just in time for us to kick off 2015, or celebrate the end of 2014. It’s a banger, you know immediately from that infamous London On Da Track tag. The West and the South connect on the somewhat unlikely collaboration. With two features from best buddies and frequent collaborators Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug, as well as London On Da Track production, it sounds more like a Rich Gang track featuring Nipsey, and not the other way around. Nonetheless, it’s a dope start to Nipsey’s Mailbox Money free mixtape/$1000 album roll out.

MC Ren feat. Redd Tha Arsonis – Burn Radio Burn [Stream]

“Fuck these other DJ’s, scared to play the Villain…..”The Villain in Black, MC Ren, returns with his latest release from the upcoming Rebel Muzik entitled “Burn Radio Burn”. The Villain, once again, holds nothing back as he attacks mainstream radio for its failure to play real, good, authentic music; instead opting to play whoever pays despite what the music sounds like or represents. Radio DJ’s are christened as “vultures” killing the hip-hop culture. The track is once again produced by the almighty E-A-Ski, who produced “Rebel Music”, the first single from the project released earlier this year; and E-A-Ski is the Rebel Muzik album producer as well. “Burn Radio Burn” features E-A-Ski protégé Redd Tha Arsonist on the hook.

Black Milk Talks “If There’s A Hell Below” LP, Artist Maturity, Pete Rock, Bun B & More [Video]

Happy Holidays to all celebrating! Out Da Box TV is happy to bring you our final episode of the year, featuring an insightful talk with Detroit Producer/Emcee “Black Milk”. We got a chance to chat with Black recently about his latest LP entitled “If There’s A Hell Below”. He spoke about the initial concept of the album and what he had in mind for the theme. He also expounded on his maturity as an artist over the years, lessening the glamour raps and penning lyrics that reflected more of life’s struggles and his connection to community & family. We went on to dissect probably the most intriguing song on the LP entitled “Story And Her”, a song that finds Black linking up with a female crush of the past, that takes an unfortunate turn as the story comes to a close. The interview concludes with Black detailing how his collaborations with veterans Pete Rock and Bun B came to be, and finishes up with what’s next on the list for his music career. It was indeed a true pleasure linking up with the homie once again. He was one of our first #OutDaBoxTV interviews when we launched back in 2008, so it was great seeing him progress after all these years. Feel free to cop Black’s latest LP and stay tuned for more talks from him on the next segment of our uplifting #BeInspired Series, that piece will be be up by the end of the week. In the meantime,
