Its obvious that 2 Chainz (formerly Tity Boi of Playaz Circle) is absolutely everywhere with everyone at the moment. With his kooky flow he’s definitely one of the hottest rappers in the game currently. So I figured I’d share some of the freshness from this week with ya’ll.

Along with the announcement that August 14th will be the release date for his debut solo album, 2 Chainz just dropped another video from his scorching T.R.U. Realigion mixtape, featuring Philly’s finest Meek Mill.

DJ Paul (of 36 Mafia) has unleashed a remix of latest single “Cocky” featuring 2 Chainz on a guest verse. Look for this joint to be apart of DJ Paul’s For I Have Sinned mixtape, which will hit streets on 4/19. The lyrics on this one are some of the finer literary statements I’ve heard this year.

And to wrap it up, my man Tony Goods just let loose a bootleg club remix of Nicki Minaj’s latest “Beez In The Trap” which, of course, features 2 Chainz. When it hits 1000 plays he’s gonna give ya a free download.

The Hundreds dropped this free 11 tracks release from Gilbere Forte last month and I been listening to it a bunch over the last couple days. I’m really feelin’ it! Depsite a few weird moments (heavy metal guitars never belong in rap joints) this release comes really strong. Lots of nice guest appearances by the likes of Droop-E , Maluca, Bun B, Big KRIT and many more. Grab it, bump that shit and look out for the upcoming video for “Hot” featuring Jim Jones and Pusha T.

Faolan Jones and Junglewire Productions whipped up this real slick video for Karizma’s latest single! Some of you may recognize these lyrics from Karizma’s 10/10 mixtape a minute back, where he spit over Starkey’s “Holodeck.” Now this is the official version with an all new beat cooked up. Look for the single to drop on Bad Mannerz in late November.

Shystie is the og queen of grime. I still remember the first time I heard her female response track to Dizzee’s “I Luv U” – classic shit. And now all these years later she is still pumpin’ out the heat and is as vital as ever. Just a few months after her last mixtape she is back with another monster, presented by the Pirates. Featuring guest spots by Frisco, Ruby Blu, Bounty Killer and more, this tape is heavily grime but rap and r&b are sprinkled in as well. “Fire” featuring JME and Double S is one of my favorite tracks, check it out and then grab the whole thing!
