A$AP Ferg And A$AP Rocky Pays Homage To DMX With “Pups”

Salutations FM Trendsetters and FM Hip Hop Heads!  Hope everyone had a great weekend! We also hope all the mothers worldwide enjoyed their well deserved Mother’s Day! While everyone was taking their mothers out to nice restaurants, two pivoted figures of the Harlem A$AP Mob collective released a track that was guaranteed to “get uglier than Balenciagas“. A$AP Ferg teamed up with his fellow member A$AP Rocky on a banger that gives you that 1998 feel.  The DMX sampled “Pups” banger.  This is not your average sampled track.  The banger samples Ruff Ryder and former Def Jam emcee DMX‘s 1998 debut single “Get At Me Dog (featuring Sheek Louch)” track.  No instruments was changed.  The song was done in its original and rawest form.  From the drums, snares and barking ad libs to the “Where my dogs at? We right here dog…” references.

Swizz Beats And Jim Jones Drop “Preach” Visual

Salutations FM Trendsetters!  For the past two months, Ruff Ryders self-proclaimed “One Band ManSwizz Beats been releasing videos from his upcoming “Poison” album.  “Pistol On My Side (P.O.M.S.)” with Lil Wayne, which ended up on his critically acclaimed Carter 5 album,  and “25 Soldiers” with Young Thug, already previewed the heat that the infamous producer has been working on for the past year.  Swizz Beats‘ last album was released 11 years ago.  However, he proves once again that his name is a staple in this rap game.  Over the weekend via Instagram, the Bronx native released snippets of not only a new track but also released the video for a new track off the album, which will be the third in the series of videos dropped.  This time instead of the South, the Ruff Ryder/Full Surface producer went back up top and recruited Harlem’s own Jim Jones for the new heat “Preach“.  What better way to release a hot track than the traditional visual.

Nicki Minaj Reveals Queendom In Ganja Burn Visual

Salutations FM Trendsetters!  If not already buzzing and trending on the social media (infamous Funk Flex interview, Twitter beef with Power 105.1‘s DJ Self, and ex-boyfriend Safaree, etc.),  the Harajuku Barbie, Nicki Minaj, is leveling up with her new mythological and unique vision for her hit song “Ganja Burn“.  “Gotta be King status to give men my body…cause a Queen is what I embody“.  This bar from the song thoroughly describes her Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott directed a masterpiece.  The music video embodies her true queendom, as well as her story.  Memories, past beef, and lessons learned drift through the viewer’s eyes, like the wind blowing desert sands throughout her video.  Nicki Minaj’s “Ganja Burn” is now the fifth trending video, according to Youtube.

Lil Kim Shows She Still Is The “Nasty One” In New Video

Wah Gwan, or salutations FM Trendsetters!  The following video is definitely rated “R“, or “NFSW” because you have to be 18 years of age or older to see this and it is not safe for viewing at work!  The Queen Bee is back in this very Caribbean visual.  The Original Black Barbie dropped this gem, known as “Nasty One“, on the first day of August!  She already has the internet and social media buzzing, as her video is the number 5 new music video trending on Youtube and VEVO.  The song itself is a certified club hit and radio smash for the summer, but the video added more depth to it. The Hardcore femcee and former Junior Mafia first lady brought it back to the Lil Kim that we enjoyed and loved.  The video is not only sexy but very entertaining.

Drip Woo Drip! Drip Woo Drip! FM Trendsetters! I have not bought a handgun.  It did not come with a drum either.  But the self-proclaimed Senior Drip Instructor, Mr. Super Red himself, brought plenty of “drip” and “handguns“, as well as a whole basic training facility, in the visual for his “Handgun” single.  This infectious, repetitious but dope track is off YG‘s upcoming album, “Stay Dangerous“, set to come out August 3rd.  The single and music video also features the self-proclaimed “DesignerA.$.A.P Rocky.

Casanova 2x and Preemo Wanna Know “Wut U Said???”

Boom boom boom FM Trendsetters! New York, we have another one! What do you get when “one of the best yet” legendary Brooklyn DJ mixes up with another fellow Brooklyn emcee? No we are not talking about Gangstarr (R.I.P. Guru).  No, not another Jay-Z collaboration.  Friday, DJ Premier dropped another epic banger with one of the most rugged new stars from Flatbush.  Roc Nation‘s own Casanova is drafted for the street gang gang bang banger, “Wut U Said???“.  This is definitely for the streets, by the streets.  We asked for this New York.  You asked for this Brooklyn. If you were living under a rock this weekend,  you are not a fan of hip hop if you did not witness this.
