A Week In Hip Hop
Howdy doodle, it's been a week in hip hop. It's also been a week in real life but we don't care about none of that, just hip hop. Leggo, Mac Miller has signed a deal with Warner Bros which is pretty interesting. Mac has emerged as a prominent creative being (yey yey) and has enjoyed plenty of success and freedom from not being aligned with a super duper major record label. Now, when you dig deep in to this like I tend to do, Warner may be keen to refresh their ways of doing the music business thing. I don't think Mac would have signed the deal worth a few milly, if he wasn't going to get exactly what he wants. He's gonna have his own label within Warner and you'll have to think that this marks the shift of Mac Miller from that young white rapper dude to heavy hitter.

Logic dropped 'Under Pressure' this week which will get the written treatment from your truly. He along with another chap could lay claim to being the best young lyricists in the game and here's a glimpse at what he can do
The other chap? King Los. He popped in to Hot 97 for a bit of back and forth with Ebro
