At the end of the day, all rappers want is to be talked about in one way or another. It doesn’t matter what type of music they make, they want to be a part of the culture. If no one can say anything else, they can say Trinidad James got people talking about him when he dropped “All Gold Everything” a year ago.
The year since then has been solid, but not as kind to Trinidad James. With no new music coming, Trinidad James made statements that put him right back in the headlines. He was dissed by Maino and Papoose, then he was confronted by Mysonne and it all made for good conversation.
Now, it looks like that situation has also blown over and Trinidad James looks like he might be discussed for another reason. Often, Trinidad James is on Twitter and Instagram promoting people being themselves. A recent photo surfaced of Trinidad James wearing a jean skirt.

Evidenced by his lyrics, Machine Gun Kelly is one of the most-controversial figures in the hip hop industry. In many ways, Machine Gun Kelly is a 21st century version of DMX and he has co-signed the Cleveland emcee. Meanwhile, Machine Gun Kelly has helped return Bad Boy Records to the forefront of the game.
Machine Gun Kelly makes some of the hottest music out and his 2012 debut, Lace Up, did very well with the critics. But, this isn’t the main reason people tune into him, instead they like his antics. There never really is any telling what Machine Gun Kelly will ever do next.
During a recent concert in Canada, Machine Gun Kelly was performing and a security guard happened to get in his way. If his actions with some heckling fans in Brooklyn was any indication, Machine Gun Kelly took matters into his own hands. He ended up head butting the security guard.

What few people realize is that battle rappers are often well-rounded artists, but battling is their forte`. Few would deny Jus Daze’s skills when it means going toe-to-toe, but if anyone heard him on Chox-Mak’s “Yourself,” they would know there is a lot more to him than that. Thus, the new Jus Daze album, Walk Twice As Hard, which is a clever nod to him being bowlegged. Jus Daze has overcome a lot to be in this position and what he did was put out his album without help from anyone. Now, the album is here, free for the public to hear.

A bit of a musical marriage has taken place between Los Angeles and Atlanta, with each scene feeding the other. Perhaps the biggest tie is that between Jeezy and YG, which started with Def Jam. Since then, Jeezy signed YG to CTE and it produced a series of hits.
Jeezy and YG definitely gave Yo Gotti a summer hit with “Act Right” and then they repeated their magic with “My Nigga.” Renamed “My Hitta” for radio purposes, the song helped reintroduce YG as a lead artist. Rich Homie Quan does the hook and the outro of the record.
YG talked to Big Mo of Greensboro’s 102 Jamz about his recent run of success. Even though he’s been on the Def Jam roster for some time. He stopped by and he discussed the success of “My Nigga,” his partnership with DJ Mustard, and the West Coast hip hop movement.
