"Media Midgets" by RA The Rugged Man [Music Video]

"Who's to blame when the brain of the next insane psycho flips/

Brain cells are programmed like they're membrane micro chips/

I'm guns and bible, I'm pro-life and pro-war, pro-fighting/

Profanity, writing, reciting, gambling, tossing the dice/"

This video reminds me of Borderlands or some shit. Pretty creepy and it's a very well done set of visuals. I really like this track, it has a nice smooth vibe to it and RA goes in n says some shit. Check it!

"Mural" by Lupe Fiasco [Audio]

"You gotta treat your vocal chords like it's a fortress/

And treat every single one of your words like reinforcements/

And especially when you recording cuz that's the portion that's important/

When I was reporting it I was poor, but now I'm more than/"

I really haven't heard much about Lupe's upcoming album, "Tetsuo & Youth", but it seems like that's how it always happens for me. I always end up getting his albums a bit late and regretting that I wasn't there to pick it up day one. These (pretty much) 9 minutes will prove to anybody that Lupe definitely hasn't lost it. Dope shit... check it!

KOTD Battle: Arcane VS Cortez [Video]

KOTD dropped a few new battles from Flatline 3 in the past few weeks. I checked this one out and thought it was pretty dope. Both Cortez and Arcane had a bunch of good lines. Ontario VS New York right here folks!

"Deja Vu" by Alyssa Marie [Live Performance]

"No backbone strong enough to hold this weight/

Wait.. who's controlling my fate?/

Did the lasso break? Is all of this a bad joke?

Did I plateau and fall flat onto my face?/"

This is fucking sick. Alyssa Marie has always been a beast, and probably one of the most lyrical female emcees I've ever heard. To top it all off, she has a band playing the music behind her and they absolutely kill it too! Such a dope video, this girl deserves more recognition. Check it!

"Stand Up" by Chali 2na [Music Video]

"I survive cuz I breathe underwater, people call me Aquaman/

Easy muscle with a little bit of greezy hustle like I owned a taco stand/

Treat a brotha like a nacho man, everybody covered in melted cheese/

With the lifestyle, hip hop is so iced out, the wealthy emcees they're ????? to freeze/"

DAMN. Chali 2na rode this beat with finesse. Not used to hearing him spit this fast and he killed it. He always spits some dope lyrics but this is a step up from what I expect from him flow-wise. Dope shit.. you definitely gotta check this one!

"Mental" by Madchild ft. Demrick [Music Video]

"Involuntarily solitary confinement/

No one to confide in, quiet in my environment/

Mentally I'm way off balance and off kilter/

Brain's way out of whack that's why I rap without a filter/"

Madchild recently introduced Philly native, Demrick into his Battle Axe Warrior family. This track sets the tone for the beginning of their partnership, and it sets it off with a bang. C-Lance produced this beat which is a perfect fit for Madchild's style and Demrick adapts flawlessly. This one's a banger... Check it!

"Left Home, Write Home" by Ngajuana

"You could say that his genesis, started with being senseless/

Evolved into being censor-less through passion and relentlessness/

Resulting in the birth of a rapper, who through his pen it lives/

Sitting at the bed of hip-hop with straight attentiveness/"

More dope Canadian shit for ya. This track's from London, Ontario's own, Ngajuana. This one's got some rural funk to it, and NGA kills it as usual. I really dig the chorus with that acoustic beat. Check it!
