By: Konsept After fueding for 3 years, 2 of the souths’ biggest lyricist have finally squashed their beef with one another. The beef included the exile of Killer Mike from Purple Ribbon, subliminal lyrics, and a physical altercation. HipHopDX, reported on the meeting firsthand, and tt seems like Big Boi’s son, Cross and a weather situation in Atlanta, pushed the reconciliation to happen between the two. Hopefully an appearance from Killer Mike may pop up on Big Boi's solo album. Keep your fingers crossed.
By: Konsept Now any news about the sequel to a classic album is good news. Instead of me just blabbing about his new album, Hardknock TV got Rae to just sum it all up in an interview on the set of Game’s video (Pain f/ Keyshia Cole). He speaks on his album, his thoughts on Hip-Hop, and just dropping jewels as they say. Enjoy.
By: Konsept From the Ruby Hornet TV "Freestyle in the Park" Series comes a 4 minute freestyle from Keith Murray. And guess where it takes place... a park! Enjoy.
