While Gucci Mane’s still incarcerated for whoever can remember these days, DJ Holiday gives us a new mixtape of that Brick Squad music. Production by Lex Luger, Drumma Boy, and others while features include Yo Gotti, YC, Yelawolf, 50 Cent, and others. Download link and tracklist is below:

• Gucci Mane – Writing On The Wall 2 (Mixtape) (Hosted by DJ Holiday)

I don’t really see the talent in CyHi The Prince but I guess Kanye West and the rest of the G.O.O.D. Music conglomerates do and I know some of you fans do as well. Since my opinion doesn’t really mean shit, check out CyHi’s newest mixtape which is the follow up to his pretty popular Royal Flush mixtape that dropped about a year ago. Features include Pill, Pusha T, Trey Songz, Yelawolf, Big Sean, and others.  Download link and tracklist is below:

• XXL Presents: 2011′s Freshman Class (The Mixtape) (Hosted by DJ Whoo Kid)

XXL Magazine just released their 4th annual Freshmen Class cover.  The 2011 Freshmen include (from left to right) Meek Mill, Diggy Simmons, Big K.R.I.T., CyHi The Prynce, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Twist, Yelawolf, Lil B, Fred The Godson, Mac Miller, and YG.  Here are some quick thoughts:

• Who is Fred The Godson?
• How much did Young Money pay to have Lil Twist on the cover?
• Snubs – XV, Vado, Dom Kennedy, and a few others.

The visuals to Yelawolf and Bun B’s collaboration.  Looking forward to what new music Yelawolf brings in 2011 and what he does to continue to elevate his career to that next level.

I didn’t watch last night’s BET Hip Hop Awards but I heard the highlight of the night was the above G.O.O.D. Music cypher that included Kanye West, Common, Big Sean, Pusha T, and CyHi Da Prynce.  The rest of the night’s cyphers included “freestyles” from Wiz Khalifa, YelaWolf, Raekwon, Tyga, Royce Da 5’9″, Ice Cube, Rev Run, Diggy, Busta Rhymes, Mickey Factz, and otehrs.  The night’s performances came from Rick Ross, Diddy, DJ Khaled, MC Hammer, Gucci Mane, Swizz Beatz, J. Cole, Dipset (Cam’Ron x Jim Jones x Juelz Santana), Big Boi, B.o.B., and more.  Hit the jump to view the videos of all the cyphers and performance videos courtesy of MWP.

Big Boi Ft. Yelawolf – You Ain’t No DJ

B.o.B. – Don’t Let Me Fall

Here’s the visuals for Yelawolf and Gucci Mane’s party anthem.  If it isn’t already, this song should be a hit at colleges and high schools throughout the nation.  I, I, I just wanna party! Download link below:

• Yelawolf Ft. Gucci Mane – I Just Wanna Party

Kidd Future’s best friend Emilio Sparks sits down with Yelawolf while he was in New York City to talk about beers, tattoos, women, and more.  I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t really feeling Yelawolf’s music at first listen but he’s slowly grown on me and now his Trunk Muzik mixtape is on at least a bi-weekly rotation.

Big Boi and Yelawolf drop the music video for their banger Ain’t No DJ from Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Dusty Chico album that’s in stores and online now.
