Ghostface has announced he is to record an album with Method Mad and Raekwon.
The prolific rapper hasn’t got a title for the album but said in an interview that production is likely to begin within the next few months. He added:
“Everybody goes in — [Raekwon] gets four songs, I get four songs, [Meth] gets four. Start coming around like that and seeing what we can do. Make a little phat, tight one. I told Meth the other day, ‘It’s gotta be phat and tight. We don’t need 16, 19 joints on there. Nah, nah, nah — 12 phat bullets. We do it like that, and that’s it.’ That’s gonna happen soon. It will probably be out by the end of the year or January, and that’s that.”
Phat bullets. That’s realness right there.

Here’s the video for “Treat Me Like Your Mother“:
One of the most influential musicians to ever grace the music industry Les Paul has passed away aged 94. In 1952, he paved the way for rock and roll by developing one of the first solid-body electric guitars although it is said he was rocking his own one back in 1941, and he is also known for his crucial innovations in developing multi dubbing, overdubbing and the invention of the very first eight-track tape recorder.
Les unfortunately passed from complications of pneumonia in New York City and tributes to the star have been rolling in as the news breaks. Slash described him as “an exceptionally brilliant man” and his legend status will sit in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame forever.
