More visuals on this wonderful Monday morning! Joey B dropped the “Hilary Swank” video, showing a young 14 year old Joey in a cypher, a current Joey rockin a sold out show, and interestingly enough, the Kendrick Lamar Hot 97 interview. Make sure you stick around until the end too, there’s a nice tribute to the late Pro Era member, Capital Steez. Enjoy!

Joey Bada$$, Big K.R.I.T., and Smoke DZA link up on a track that’s featuring the hottest young talent in the game. The track is from Ecko Unlimited’s upcoming Underground Airplay mixtape.
JOEY. B.
“Insane in the membrane from the Empire State/But I keep my mind in the pen state/They wanna know how I keep my pen straight/Damn right, how they gonna bite off my template”.
This all started when Joey threw some lyrical shots at Lil B on the ’1999′ mixtape. Then this past Monday (Jan. 28), Joey tweeted, “Tell Lil B don’t quit your day job,” which is a quote from the late Captial STEEZ’s song “Survival Tactics.”
Joey Badass
Premo invited Joey Bada$$ to his private HeadQCourterz Studio and “Unorthodox” is the result of these sessions. Get excited. The track is dope, featuring the up and coming Brooklyn rapper (this kid is going to own the game real soon) and the legendary scratches from DJ Premier.
A lot of great stuff has been released this year, and over the next week, we’ll be ranking everything. First up are the top 10 mixtapes of 2012. Mixtapes have been instrumental in helping the marketing and promotional endeavors of record labels, and are utilized by those without labels to gain exposure on the bigger scene. Almost always free, they’re an awesome gift for fans regardless of their purpose.
Click the images below to learn a little more about the tape, and find the download links at the bottom. Enjoy! Let us know what you think about the order, or if you think we left anything out.

Whoa. The most star studded track off Rocky’s upcoming debut, delivers. The HitBoy beat sees every rapper absolutely kill their verses. Whoa man. I’m still reeling after that one. Press play below and prepare yourself, this one’s going to be talked about for a while.
Fresh from her first ever London performance, Angel Haze and Luckyme producer Lunice – who just finished a gig at the Warehouse Project with Hudson Mohawke as TNGHT – met for the first time at Metropolis Studios, where they worked into the night creating a new song, from scratch. “Gimme That” is the latest in adidas originals and yours truly’s “Songs from Scratch” series that also includes Danny Brown & Araabmuzik’s “Molly Ringwlad,” and Joey Bada$$’ “Daily Routine.”
