Shout out to Kei for sending this video over!

Grip Plyaz  teamed up with fellow ATLien, Aleon Craft, for the first single off of 6Pack vol. 1: A Prelude to Purp, Wind & Fire.  This is a pretty accurate representation of Atlanta's underground social scene, often confused with the Hipster scene.

Corey Davis put the video together, The Weathermen killed another beat, and Grip Plyaz did what he does best.

FUCK DAT HIPSTER SHIT!

Shout out to Decatur Dan on directing the clean visuals!

"I used to pray that we got a bigger and better house,

But by next week they was sending eviction letters out,

I guess that's why my heart is forever cold,

Surroundings make you a brick, and you smarter from stories told."

Drake addresses the industry pressures in this freestyle, produced by Boi1da.

"Scared, for the first time, everything just clicked,

What if I don't really do the numbers they predict?

Considering the fact that I'm the one that they just picked,

To write a chapter in history, this shit has got me sick,

But if I really do it don't expect to get a split,

Cause this truly is some shit I don't expect for ya'll to get,

I'm nervous but I'mma kill it."

Thank Me Later drops on June 15th. Who's Buyin?

Jadakiss' third installment of his The Champ Is Here mixtape series plays out like a true Pay-Per-View event, complete with fight commentary and skits put together over stock audio of a cheering crowd.  Also, in honor of the boxing theme, DJ Drama, who hosts the tape along side DJ Green Lantern, changed his name to Dram King, ha!

Jadakiss comes out hard on The Champ Is Here 3, with cocky lyrics that show his confidence and willingness to fight.  The first skit even has Jada recalling how he's been training for this tape by "running five and a half miles every morning."

This video was put together really well. Having said that, while the BAWSE aimed to intimidate with his verses, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the 59 second mark, MILKY!
