Song of the Week: Eightball – “Top Notch Freestyle”
This is one of my favorite Eightball cuts. Here is Ball letting people know that the South do have something to say. Released in 2001 on Greg Street’s 6 O’Clock Vol. 1 album, this beat to this was so dope and it makes me miss that old Southern style a lot. This is

The Next Big Thing: Diamond
I’ll say it, these days the female MC is almost extinct like the Dodo bird. Now before you underground ladies who rap start dissing me in your latest MySpace freestyle, I’m not saying there aren’t any females out there rapping. What I am saying is there aren’t any women making Hip-Hop music with any large [...]
