Urban Noize, the ever-impressive production duo from Florida, take on a cut from Big Boi's 2010 debut solo LP 'Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty', and put their own unique head-nodding twist on it. I still believe that André 3000's verse on this is one of the greatest verses of all-time, and this version is a superb alternative to the original - 3 Stacks album soon, please.

Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 4:19PM Not the biggest fan of Odd Future but their latest visual offering, which is directed by Tyler, is nothing short of genius. The track features Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis & Tyler himself, and will feature on the forthcoming 'The OF Tape Vol. 2'.

XXL have today revealed that Colombian songstress Shakira has signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation for management purposes, and will join the likes of Rihanna, Wale, No I.D., Santigold, S1 and Melanie Fiona. The news may come as a surprise to many, but Shakira has sold more than 60 million albums and won 12 Billboard Latin Music Awards, eight Latin Grammy Awards and two Grammy Awards - making it another shrewd business move by Mr. Carter.

After working on this since the turn of the new year, I am now pleased to present to you my 'Top 100 Hip-Hop Songs of All-Time'. Following the success of my yearly Top 100 lists, it was only right to do one for my favourite genre and a movement that has changed millions of people's lives over the past 30+ years. The list covers every type of sound/style that has ever been associated with Hip-Hop and is what I believe to be a perfect representation of everything that is positive about the culture that we have all come to love. As with all my lists, this is a personal opinion, and there will be songs in it that you wouldn't have in your list and songs that didn't make the cut which could well be in your Top 10. However, hopefully you will appreciate this and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Hip-Hop will never die...

After the well received Wretch 32-featuring 'Delorean', Smiler is back with a new piece from his forthcoming 'All I Know' mixtape, which is dropping February 29th. The South-London spitter brings in fellow rapper Bigz to go back and forth in an old skool Hip-Hop style over a simple, yet refreshing beat. Looking forward to hearing the tape.
