Drake - Live @ O2 Arena, London

Hip-Hop Chronicle come through with highlights of Drake's London leg of the current Club Paradise Tour. Not sure his show would be for me, but it seems as though he knows how to work a British crowd, which is not something many US rappers can do.

Pitbull - Back In Time (Men In Black 3 Theme)

The news leaked last week that latino rapper Pitbull was the man behind the theme song for Men In Black 3, and now here is the audio - it's not very often you see stuff on here that isn't very good, but this was a must post. The track is everything we have come to expect from Pitbull; lyrics that mean very little, a very annoying voice/flow and a very commercially friendly beat, although the sample is pretty cool. The Dubstep section at the end had me in stitches, and I still don't understand why Will Smith didn't do the song, especially after he's been back in the studio with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Oh well, let's hope the film doesn't disappoint.

Rizzle Kicks - Nasty (NaS Freestyle)

After taking the UK charts by storm in 2011 with three top 10 singles of his own and a feature on the number No.1 'Heart Skips A Beat' by Olly Murs, many people believe Jordan Stephens, better known as MC Rizzle or the rapping half of Rizzle Kicks, had lost sight of his true roots. Well, to answer those critics, he recently recorded a sick freestyle over the Salaam Remi-produced lead single from NaS' forthcoming album. Bar, after bar, after bar - heard it about 2 months ago, and thought he smashed it back then - nice to see the King of Hip-Hop agrees. Free download below.
