Viktor Postol Celebrates Win Over Matthysse
Velous – “Sex And The City”
Artist/producer Velous has been a busy man within the 18 months. From signing with French Montana’s Coke Boys imprint via Swanky Music Group, appearing on DJ Spinking’s “Adult Swim” alongside Tyga & Jeremih, producing Chinx’s “Dope House,” as well as appearing on Fabolous’ standout record “Gone For The Winter,” the Kingston, NY native has definitely left his footprint on the music scene. Moreover, early this year, the youngster was further thrusted into the spotlight after producing Kanye West’s much talked about single “All Day.”
Since then, Velous has been tucked away in the studio putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming debut project “The Disco.” With the project produced entirely by Velous, it will also feature his brand new record “Sex And The City.” The track was first played by Boi-1da on Drake’s OVO Sound Radio last weekend, prompting Velous to leak the record himself at the behest of listeners. The full CDQ version will be available on “The Disco,” which is slated for release soon.

The Thirst Is Real: 50 Cent’s Effen Vodka Hit Up Maryland
Photo Credit: Instagram
“LOVE BUG on the loose Temple hills MD. Lol Turn up,” 50 Cent, captioned an Instagram photo from last Saturday. These posted memories arose from the recent Effen Vodka promo run from (Oct. 3). It quickly became apparent that an ardent supporter seemed to “pour up,” with abandon.
The vibrant lady referred to as “Love Bug” stole the spotlight and quickly made use of her fleeting flame. With a clutched bottle of the Dutch brand in hand, this ardent supporter proceeded to throw it back at the Queens’ entrepreneur. With a smile on his face, soon the “Candy Shop” rapper would partake in the shenanigans.
As the successful spokesperson of the spirited brand, Fif, is taking his responsibilities seriously. Stepping aside from his previous guerrilla marking campaigns, the proven titan has employed a grassroots marketing campaign which seems to be going down, oh so smoothly.

Shabaam Sahdeeq Ft. PH, Torae & 8thW1 – “Men Of Respect”
After laying down his career goals with “Get It,” Shabaam Sahdeeq enlists three Tri-state bruisers for new single “Men of Respect.” It features Jersey City’s 8thw1 along with Sahdeeq’s fellow Brooklynites Torae and the late PH (aka Pumpkinhead) who tragically passed away earlier this year. “Men of Respect” closes out Sahdeeq’s soon-coming EP, Modern Artillery, and it does so with a celebratory air. That’s partly due to the heat supplied by Big Ape, whose sample-flipping instrumental blends perfectly with DJ Devastate’s scratch-laden hook.
Modern Artillery hits all major digital retailers on Oct. 13 via Elite Fleet Records. Limited cassette copies will be available on Oct. 17(aka Cassette Store Day) while a vinyl pressing is scheduled for the near future.

The PRhyme deluxe edition will feature appearances from Logic, Joey Bada$$, MF Doom, Phonte and Black Thought.

Dame Dash And Curren$y Settle Their Lawsuit
Dame Dash and Curren$y have ended their legal war. According to TheJasmine Brand, the two have settled their $3 million lawsuit out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Curren$y slapped Dash with a lawsuit after the mogul released two of his projects, Pilot Talk and Pilot Talk II, after their business deal didn’t work out and he signed with Warner Bros. The New Orleans rapper claimed that Dash didn’t have the rights to the music nor did he have his permission to release his music. The former Roc-A-Fella boss said he did have permission to release the projects.
With Dash releasing the music, Curren$y claimed that his deal with Warner Bros. was negatively impacted and wanted $1.5 million in damages. After Dash refused to cooperate with the lawsuit for months, Curren$y returned to court in November of 2014 to ask for a default judgment of $2.9 million in damages and $95,000 in lawyer’s fees.
On Oct. 2nd, court documents were filed stating that the two had settled the matter out of court and wanted the lawsuit dismissed.
Mac Miller – “Clubhouse”
Mac Milller bring his sluggish flow to the pool on his new track “Clubhouse.” The song is featured on Mac’s GO:OD AM album and in the vidio Mac is pictured rapping while synchronized swimmers are fully coordinated to the beat. It’s a trippy lil video as the swimmers essentially do ballet in the water while Mac jumps in with his gold chains on. The Ricci Riera produced track is cool and fastened to a smooth Mac Miller verse, its the perfect lazy day, relaxing type music. Press play and cool out.
