Video | Rapsody - Extra Extra f/ Mac Miller

Haven't blogged in a minute *slaps wrists* sorry about that.

A host of new music and videos dropped today with J.Cole's Return of Simba and Stalley's Chevys and Spaceships piquing my interest on the audio front. Not to be outdone by her contemporaries though, IWWMG/Jamla signee Rapsody, also released a video for her track with Pittsburgh native Mac Miller, entitled Extra Extra. Fresh off tour with her labelmates and her sophomore release Thank H.E.R Now set to hit the airwaves this June, Rapdiddy and Mac bounce off each other with tight rhymes and a sweet beat from Khrysis. Check the video below... 'Tis great I reckon.



Oh. Don't forget to sign the petition to get Rapsody on next year's XXL Freshman Cover... about time we saw a dope female rhymeslinger on the cover. SIGN THE PETITION HERE.

Petition | Get Rapsody On XXL's Freshmen Cover

So a while after this year's XXL Freshmen Cover was announced, 9th Wonder tweeted something about his artist Rapsody being featured on next year's cover. If you've been reading my posts you'll know that I co-sign Rapsody completely and agreed that she should be featured on next year's list. Well, 9th replied and said:


SO THAT'S WHAT I DID!

Read the mission statement below and hopefully this time next year, I'll be blogging about Rapsody on the Freshman cover! LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN - share, tweet, Facebook, blog - anything! Just spread the word!

"Ever since XXL started their Freshmen list in 2008, a female has never been featured on the cover. 2012 will be the year that changes. Rapsody, JAMLA (9th Wonder's music label) signee and original member of North Carolina hip-hop collective Kooley High since 2006, certainly deserves a spot on the cover. Influenced by hip-hop greats such as MC Lyte, Bahamadia, Jay-Z and Queen Latifah, Rapsody isn't just a dope female rapper, she's a dope rapper, period - who 9th Wonder calls "one of the most gifted MCs" he's ever worked with. Her first release, mixtape Return of The B-Girl displays Rapsody's finesse and knack for intelligent rhymes and her raspy but feminine flow. We believe she deserves to be on the cover and hopefully you agree with us too. Make it happen XXL!"
