New (to me) music from Juelz Santana. It’s safe to say that Santana is back and more focused than ever, it seems. That’s good news for Santana fans and fans of lyrical crack. That is, however, potentially bad news for the wack mumble rappers out there. Please notice I said “the wack mumble rappers.” Some […]
Read moreNew Visuals: @Punskription x @LexRush13 – "Three Words"
Punskription and Lex Rush drop the visuals to their “Three Words” track, which premiered on SpeedontheBeat.com a couple months back. All I’ve got to say is “wow. This is badass AF.” The video was filmed at Manhattan’s CHOK SABAI GYM and feature five women Muay Thai fighters. The concept is inspired by the writings of Muay Thai fighter/journalist Sylvie […]

I’m loving the alternative vibes on it. It’s party-sensible while still being on some empowerment stuff.

A SpeedontheBeat.com rookie teams up with a vet to paint a bit of a dream team flow. East Elmhurst, Queens native MRG, high school baseball star turned rapper, hit me with this one in my inbox yesterday. I’d honestly never heard much from MRG before last night. But, I’m kind of mad that I didn’t, […]
