Coming off a great performance on the BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher, Skillz releases a new video for “Celebrate Life”, which is the latest visual off of his “The World Needs More Skillz” album.

 Pusha T seems to be a hip hop universal favorite amongst the listeners, so you will be happy to hear two new tracks from the man. Here, he does his thing over the “I’ma Boss” instrumental and the “Tony Montana” instrumental. Thanks to WSS. Enjoy:

Check out this music video for Fam-Lay’s “Beach Cruiser”, produced by Chad Hugo, brought to us by the guys at Illusive Media. Digging the song? Well you can download it over here.

Nottz is back in the lab hard at work, this time cooking up new material with his group D.M.P. (Durte Muzik Prahdukshun). The group is assembled of Virginia-based emcees Bigshot Manceeni, Cutlass Reid, Khizman, Starboy, Ivory Keyes, Boogie and Nottz himself. Here is the group’s first effort, “Ball Game”, which features the group in its entirety and Nottz on the production. Always loved Nottz production, so looking forward to additional music from DMP.

Young Scolla linked up with a dope group out of Richmond, VA, Suburban District & VA’s Frontman Nickelus F to go on a no-holds-bar rhyme session over a crazy record produced by Masta of DarkChild Productions. The group Suburban District consists of members Octavion Xcellence, Fair and Tim Porter.

I feel like there are a lot of people that are always digging Fam-Lay music, but it only pops up once in a while that the fanbase doesn’t really expand. Anyways, here’s the full version of “Beach Cruiser,” produced by Mr. Chad Hugo. Off Fam-Lay’s upcoming T.Y.B.O. (Turn Your Brain Off) EP.

Amsterdam based producer Tois de Noise came to HHU a while back with a few projects and they were definitely top tier material. By featuring that material, he linked up with Virginia up and comer Sinatra Royale to produce his full mixtape, Come Fly With Me. You can preview the stream of the album right here and if you like what you hear, click below and download the whole project for free:

A little something different from the talented artist, Kenna. This is off of his just-released project, Land 2 Air Chronicles 1: Chaos and Darkness, which you can purchase via iTunes. Thanks to DJ Green for the link.

I wanted to get involved with this initiative because I like what SHHO is all about. College student-run hip hop organizations that bring music to the forefront.

With that said, the UVA chapter is bringing in some great names to cap off the year – Clipse, TiRon, Phil Ade, Nickelus F and more. This is taking place THIS SATURDAY  at the Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville, VA. Additional info here. Tickets here. Go out and support!

Gearing up for his first release in over 3 years, the Grammy nominated Kenna has yet again teamed up with his long time partner in crime Chad Hugo (and his alter ego Shimmy Hoffa).
