Today, Nas has come through to flip the script on its head with “ Fallen Stars Flying,” a new track off HBO’s Between The World And Me Soundtrack. And judging from a preliminary listen of the lyrically- potent drop, he succeeded in doing exactly that. Though King’s Disease was a breath of fresh air for Nas fans, “Fallen Stars Flying” does feel a little closer to his vintage sound — vividly rendered storytelling over gritty sample-based production. Fans will be pleased to see another solid drop from the legendary lyricist, and should this be the caliber Between The World And Me is bringing to the table, perhaps we’ll see more where that came from. “FOREIGN SONGS…

She’s not one to hold her tongue, and it sounds as if Masika Kalysha is lashing out in the studio. The multihyphenate entertainer and businesswoman has been steadily working on her rap career for years. Masika unleashed “ Masether,” a single where she spits a barrage of bars at Tory Lanez, a response to him mentioning her in his track “Sorry I Had To.” Lanez included a number of entertainers who spoke out against him while also praising Kylie Jenner. On “ Masether ,” Masika stated that she decided to bite back at the Canadian artist because he mentioned her daughter, Khari, in his lyrics. There are all sorts of allegations strewn throughout the track, so you’ll just have to press play to get your fill. The Shade Room reposted Masika’s artwork and music, so Tory jumped in the comments to make fun of her. “Not the thunder in the artwork hitting with the drop off,” he wrote with laughing emojis. “FOREIGN SONGS…

Another day, another milestone hit by Eminem . This time, we’re looking at the seven-year anniversary of The Marshall Mathers LP 2, one of the most divisive albums of his career. For one, it found Em moving further away from the foundation he built alongside Dr. Dre, instead working with the legendary Rick Rubin, who brought a rock-inspired sensibility to the project. While Rubin’s production remains a point of contention for some of Em’s fanbase, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 wasn’t entirely a departure, with songs like the conclusive “Evil Twin” serving as a bloody reminder of Slim Shady’s villainy. A near-six minute clinic of nonstop bars — essentially a darker companion track of the legendary “Rap God” — “ Evil Twin” provides Slim with a slow-burning and menacing instrumental from Sid Roams. Matching the beat’s pace, Em delivers a methodical flow with space for the myriad punchlines to land. Calling back to some of his vintage lyrical content, Em effortlessly weaves between rhyme schemes as he puts his cleverness on display. “FOREIGN SONGS…

Today is a very special day in the career of Kanye West as it marks the 10-year anniversary of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy . In the eyes of many, this is Kanye’s magnum opus and could very well be considered to be the greatest album of all- time. From start to finish, Kanye provided fans with a stunningly gorgeous soundscape that featured a plethora of talented artists, record producers, and engineers. Of course, the album has some undeniable standouts like “Monster,” “All Of The Lights,” “Gorgeous,” “Runaway,” and, of course, “Devil In A New Dress” with Rick Ross. From the heavenly vocal samples to the braggadocios bars, Kanye was at his absolute best on this track. Rick Ross’s contribution to the song is just as incredible, especially when you consider how Ye actually forced Ross to re-write the verse. This turned out to be an amazing decision as “Devil In A Dress” arguably contains the best verse of Ross’s illustrious career. “FOREIGN SONGS…
