T.I. drops the first single Love This Life off his 8th studio album set for release this summer. T.I. explained what the single was about in an interview with XXL last week saying…
“It’s speaking to woman, but from a man’s perspective. People who find themselves in a situation where the woman might say she wants to part ways with the man, but the man [is] like, ‘Let’s be sensible about this. You gonna leave all this? And go where?’ That’s what he is sayin’, the gentleman is sayin’. I know there’s a lot of guys out there who find themselves in positions on all levels of life, not just as a rich man, but you have people who treat a woman the way she wants to be treated,” he continued. “There aren’t a lot of men out there who can offer that same kind of security, affection and protection; that will be kind of the song.”
Squingy, releases the video for Ducking From The Police off his mixtape Wrighty’s 1st Son – pt 2, featuring other USG members, Exo, Lefty and Don Jaga.
It’s funky, it’s hip-hop, it’s disco and its classic. De La Soul’s Plug 1 & Plug 2 present ‘First Serve;’ a dynamic hip-hop group, an album, a concept.
First Serve is man things, but at its heart it is the story of two young boys from Queens, New York in the late 1990’s with big dreams and larger rhymes. It follows two friends, Deen Whitter (aka Plug 2 / Dave) and Jacob ‘Pop Life’ Barrow (aka Plug 1 / Pos), throught their struggles in a basement to start their musical career and the battles they face after years of laying demos and mixtapes on the hustle in the hip hop game.
But all the hard work has finally paid off – Jacob and Deen have hit the big time signing to Goon Time Records, and quickly enjoying their first hit with the bouncy orchestral flourish of ‘Must Be The Music.’
The story plays out from the ‘Opening Credits,’ through to the tracks like the funky euphoric ‘We Made It,‘ following Deen and Jacob’s original success, through the darkly hung break up ode of ‘Clash Symphony,’ to their eventual, tender reunion on the irresistible ‘Tennis‘ -with some of De La’s most irrepressible rhymes in years and a succession of hilarious skits. The pair find themselves “bound together with a handshake, not a contract.”
