As the title of the post says, I really don't know a damn thing about basketball. I don't know when the season starts. I don't know when the season ends. I do know who Lebron James and Stephen Curry are though but that's about it. But maybe a couple of months ago I caught myself picking up an interest in the sport during the NBA finals, when the Memphis Grizzlies were in the mix.

DJ Paul just shared a snipped of a new song that he's been working on with Killer Mike on Instagram. Off the rip, this beat sounds like a mf banger. As an old school Three Six Mafia fan, anytime I hear that "get buck" in the background my heart tingles a little bit.

Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, Kamandi’s production sounds can be slotted in somewhere in the midst of George Fitzgerald, Bicep and Four Tet. It’s something of a surprise, then, to think that he’s been tapped up by a wealth of hip-hop royalty, from Chance The Rapper to Riff Raff to Waka Flocka Flame, for production. Though Kamandi himself is from the southern hemisphere, much of his sound is rooted in the beat-scene of LA...

Early Friday morning (Dec. 3), Bizzy penned a lengthy apology on Instagram for his behavior that briefly put the nostalgic hip-hop moment on pause.

Talking exclusively with XXL, Paul broke down the reason for levying such a hefty lawsuit against the New Orleans duo, whom both Paul and Juicy had worked with in the past. According to Paul, there was no verbal agreement between Juicy J and $uicideboy$ to use the music, as $uicideboy$ have countered. "Nah, they didn't have no verbal agreement with Juicy J," Paul explains. "They was using our music before they even met Juicy J. Nah, he didn't...
