Chance is now ready to release a studio album with his band The Social Experiment. Speaking with Billboard, the Chicago representative revealed the project is titled Surf, and it will feature work by J. Cole, Frank Ocean, Migos, and Rick Rubin.

“Surf is the first project, which is coming out before the end of 2014. It’s the first Social Experiment project. It’s a big step for all of us all putting our heads together and letting Nico [Segal, a.k.a Donnie Trumpet] hold the reigns and carry it,” said Chance. “There’s a lot of great instrumentation. A lot of input from cool writers. I’m already saying too much.”

The Social Experiment album will be the first effort from Chance and his collective. The “Everybody’s Somebody” rapper also hinted at another project the band is working on that is likely to be released in 2015.

“We have an idea for what we want to do next year following [the release] of Surf and [another project entitled] SOX and everything else that is to come,” added Chance. “We’ve been really, really focused on The Lion King musical and stage design and use of props in the theater setting and trying to make a very cool musical-kinda thing. Like musical theater. So we’re working on that. It’s still in the development process.”

(AllHipHop News) Last week the music world was highly focused on the back-and-forth between Iggy Azalea and Snoop Dogg. The online feud began when Snoop posted a meme on Instagram making fun of Iggy. The “Fancy” performer responded by calling out the Long Beach emcee on Twitter, and then they both exchanged more comments via social media.

The disagreement was resolved when Iggy’s mentor T.I. jumped in to help settle the situation. Tip was asked about his role in the Iggy versus Snoop incident during an interview with Hot 97’s Ebro.

“I have the utmost love, admiration, and respect for Snoop, so the conversation never made its way to that,” explained T.I. “It was just kinda like, ‘I’m in the crossfire big dog. What’s going on? I can’t dodge many more.'”

The creator of the newly released album Paperwork added that Snoop immediately conveyed to him that the “beef” was over and it was just a joke that went too far.

I heard things were getting pretty tense up there at Interscope Records with Chief Keef a ways back. And I also heard the reasons that he was dropped from his wonderful label up there at Interscope. Well, I of course have my own sources and they are saying some other stuff about why he was dropped from the label.

Do I need to say more?

Keef has a new album coming up and they wanted Interscope to support the project the way they have with other artists. But, my sources – which are not affiliated with either Interscope or Keef – said that they just didn’t want to pay for it. Seems like Keef got more expensive than he was bringing in money-wise.

There are apparently a lot of other reasons too, which you can

Hip-Hop Rumors: Wiz Khalifa Spotted Having Dinner With Who?

If its one thing those Kardashian sisters know how to do, its pissing off other women.

Single and ready to mingle Wiz Khalifa was recently spotted out having dinner with none other than Khloe Kardashian, who recently dumped her boo, French Montana. The pair were spotted in Beverly Hills Phillipe Chow, and tried hiding in private booths to avoid nosey diners.

What makes things interesting is the fact that Amber Rose, Khalifa’s soon-to-be ex-wife of course dated Kanye West and made it clear that she felt Khloe’s sis Kim played a part in the demise of she and Kanye’s relationship.

All of that is too close to home and too messy. Not a good look Wiz. Not at all.

Major – “96” (Produced By LostDreamer)

By: Jake Crates Updated Category: Music

If you’re a hip-hop head a lot of you are familiar with the phrase “like we bringin’ ’88 back”. To the previous generation this was an ode to a time when the game was at a peak and a way to pay homage to the era that was. Step into the current wave of artists who remember a different time when the rhymes were grimy, extravagant and ignorant. We refer to this as simply ’96. New York native Major captures the feel perfectly on his brand new single of the same name, embodying what it was to be a part of arguably the biggest year hip-hop has ever given us. Backed by a dark and synth driven beat produced by LostDreamer, the now Florida transplant puts in bar work reminiscent of his idols that will leave you questioning just exactly what year it is. This will live on his upcoming project “The Century” which is slated for release in 2015. Look for the visuals, coming soon.

Watch below to see what goodies Nardwuar brought for the Black Lip Pastor and his reaction to his homie, battle rapper Daylyt, almost taking a number two on stage.

Regarded as one of the “Kings of his City,” Richmond, Virginia, Black Liquid has released his 17th project exclusively for free on NoiseTrade.  The concept is simple:  take the “heavy with mood” instrumentation of songstress Fiona Apple and multiply it by the introspective truth and story of a man who has seen his dreams meet reality through his journey as an independent Hip-Hop artist in the extraordinary machine that is the music business.

Having shared the stage with the legends he grew up listening to such as DMX, Snoop Dogg, Inspectah Deck, Bone Thugs, Immortal Technique, and Fabolous, Black Liquid holds himself to the highest of standards, in hopes that the listener will too.
