Ill Bill - The Hour of Reprisal Sampler
Street Date: September 16th, 2008

Here’s a 6-song sampler of Ill Bill’s The Hour of Reprisal, which arrives on September 16th. It includes “War is My Destiny” alongside Immortal Technique and the semi-controversial “White Nigger.”

Watch Grafh’s music video for “Like Ohh” featuring Busta and some guy named Prinz.

Directed by: Boomtown

I was on hand to watch them shoot this video in Houston a couple months ago, so it feels great to see that the finished product isn’t disappointing. “Keep It Playa” appears on the Boss Hogg Outlawz’ horribly-titled album, Back by Blockular Demand, slated for release on September 2nd.

What’s better than seeing two grown-ups engage in a video game contest on the Internet?

You know, Game would be lying if he said he didn’t enter into this contest with LAX in mind. You could pretty much get a rapper to do anything these days, as long he has an album to promote.

Now, I understand that Murs was pandering a bit but “greatest musician ever”? Ever?

Chamillionaire has just released the tracklist for Mixtape Messiah 4 to whet your appetite for the much-anticipated mix CD. In line with previous installments, MM 4 is light on guest features but heavy on heat rocks. Peep game.

Not to be outdone by Carmen Bryan and Karrine “Superhead” Steffans, Faith Evans is now releasing her own tell-all book. Faith’s book reveals details of what happened behind the scenese while she was working with 2Pac and Biggie’s reaction to the rumored affair. Too bad, those hip-hop icons are no longer around to tell their sides of the story.

From the Amazon product description:

It’s been over ten years since Big was killed. I grieved for him for a very long time. And then, as time passed, the icy wall of grief surrounding my heart began to thaw and I began to heal. I remarried, had more children, and continued to record and release more music. I continued to live my life. And while I can never discount the time I spent with Big, I’ve never felt the need to live in the past.

Keep the Faith: A Memoir arrives on August 29th. Miss Info has some excerpts.

Chamillionaire - “My Life” (feat. Trae & Slim Thug)

Koopa, Trae, and Thugga spitting some heartfelt lyrics over Game’s “My Life.” No matter how many times you hear it, it’s always refreshing to see these guys come together and share a moment. Houston hip-hop is slowly but surely witnessing a revival, ladies and gentlemen.
