Earlier this week NY MC, Frank Ramz, released his anticipated project ‘Quite Frankly’. Be sure to drop by his Bandcamp and cop the whole thing.

This intro track has too many quotables to pick out just one and gives you insight to Ramz’ potential to be a top lyricist in years to come. Press play.

NY based (Milwaukee bred) MC, Signif, drops some new visuals from her Embracing Rejection project that was released independently last year. If you haven’t checked it out yet, we forgive you.

Prod. by Gee Wiz

This is probably one of the best signings between two entities in recent times. I couldn’t really see a better fit for Homeboy other than Stones Throw.

‘Chimera’ is out now.

As I’m sure you all know by now, Tupac was resurrected for a day to perform at Coachella. Priorities huh? Anyway, FreshNerd had some very valid reactions and possibly some questions we should all ponder before “hologramming”(is that a word?) ourselves:

Kutmah speaks on life in L.A. and his compilation ‘Worldwide Family Vol. 2′ out today on Brownswood Recordings.
