Fifty four years ago today, David Parker --a.k.a Chief Rocker Busy Bee Starski -- was born. Still regarded as a legend for his clever battle raps, Busy Bee is one of hip hop's greatest pioneers, who helped shaped the art form of rap into what it is today.

Busy Bee burst onto the scene in the late 70's, before the terms "hip hop" and "rap" had even been coined. He performed alongside fellow legends like Melle Mel, Grandmaster Caz, Afrika Bambaataa, and Kool Herc. Busy Bee helped pioneer the rap battles that emcees are still using to test each others' skills to this very day, and his undeniable stage presence and powerful rhymes helped changed the role of emcees from working in support of a DJ to being the stars of the show.

Pharrell is back with a duo of new tracks, the soulful "Runnin'" and "Surrender," both of which will appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming film "Hidden Figures."

Listen to "Runnin" here.

"I know they say to crawl before you walk, but in my mind I already jogged", the multiple Grammy award winning rapper declares on "Runnin," a jazzy track which evokes the sound of 1960's soul music. "If I stand still I cannot get far, they want t

This week's Artist Spotlight is the one and only Action Bronson, the multi-talented chef, TV show host, rapper, and professional bringer of unpopular, controversial statements. With his unique style and attitude, both on and off the mic, Action Bronson has emerged as one of hip hop's most unique acts.

Well known for his mix of a Ghostface Killah-esque style stream of consciousness type flow with some savage, laugh out loud insults and smacktalk, Action Bronson is well known for being one of the most entertaining -- and NSFW -- rappers out there.

While he's not afraid to court controversy, the Queens rapper says his sardonic, often vulgar lyrics weren't created solely for the purpose of inciting shocked guffaws or bullying easy targets, it's about

Common continues to release tracks off of his upcoming, highly anticipated album Black America Again. His latest, the laid back, sensual "Red Wine," mixes equal parts socially conscious rap with a seductive R&B beat and hooks.

Featured artists Syd and Elena take turns with the hypnotic hooks and vocals on "Red Wine," while Common continues to bring the lyrically dense and politically awakened bars that have characterized all of the tracks fromBlack America Again released so far. While not as overtly political as songs like "Letter to the Free" or "The Day Women Took Over," Common still wears his activist reputation proudly on "Red Wine," calling himself "Tupac Deepak Chopra" while he delive

With the recent release of his latest album, Rage & The Machine, veteran rap-star Joe Budden's been sitting cozily at the highest of iTunes' Hip-hop charts. Meanwhile, the Slaughterhouse MC just dropped the music video to the album's third single, “I Gotta Ask”, earlier this morning.

In regard to the album, Budden told Ambrosia For Heads that Rage presents his “first album where it''s not very introspective. It's not so told from a personal point of view. It's not so autobiographical. This one, we really stuck to Hip-hop and our passion for it, and that New York sound—heavy samples, hard drums, just a lot that that has kinda been absent, or it's not just as promoted as som
