A trio of rugged rhymers: Sean Price, the Brooklyn-bred lyricist that's quick to knock your block off Jailhouse Rock style; Diabolic, the aggressive Suffolk County rhyme sayer that spits with reckless abandon; and Vinnie Paz, the misanthropic Philly native who stays ready for battle, all make up the foundation for "Game Time," the latest release from Diabolic's forthcoming Fightin Words LP, that's set to drop 9/16. Although Diabolic might not be a household name just yet, his accolades are worth mentioning: earning a spot on Billboard's Hip Hop and R&B charts, as well as receiving the HHUG Best Album of the Year Award with his debut LP, Liar & a Thief, are quite the accomplishments. Over a slick cut from the Brooklyn beat-smith, 5th Seal, who manages to squeeze everybody from Das E

Ja'Rae Womack (the Granddaughter of Sam Cooke and the Niece of Bobby Womack) has recently dedicated a track to every woman who has endured emotional, mental and physical abuse.

"Do introverts get to have an anthem?" Sage Francis asks. If so, this would be it. Sage's new video for "Make Em Purr" is a beautifully introspective narrative off his new album, Copper Gone. Released via Strange Famous Records, Copper Gone is another brilliant addition to Sage's vast catalog of poetic underground hip-hop. The video itself is completely illustrated and is nothing short of mind-blowing. It perfectly fits the theme of the song, which is about the death of Sage's beloved cat and his sometimes bitter loneliness.
