A dope day with a lot of dope people! Shout out to Bizzy!

Mixtape: Dougie F – Block Party
Mad Decent signee (and JERSEY native) Dougie F comes to close out the summer with a brand new mixtape, Block Party.
Premiered by The FADER, the 14-track project shows Dougie‘s growth as an artist, proving he can branch out beyond the Jersey club sound he perfected with his breakout hit, “Back Up On It.”
“From the block to the world—that’s how I see my life and my music,” Dougie said about the mixtape’s title. “The projects was rough for anyone but Fridays made it all worth the struggle it seems. Fridays always felt like a block party.”
Stream and download Block Party below.

No, this isn’t a post to show I hung out with [my fav] Ty Dolla $ign again. LOL! (Although yes, I hung out with Ty Dolla $ign again, and as always, it was a night to remember!)
As you know, I’ve been working my butt off for years to become the media personality I want to become, and of course the journey has only just begun. However, the fruits of my labor are starting to show off, and this night, Ty and I had a long conversation about how far we’ve come. He told me how proud of me he is and how he’s excited to be able to watch my career grow as I’ve watched his since we met almost 2 years ago, and we promised each other that nothing we did means anything if in a few years when we’re way bigger, we don’t sit down for a big interview.

Rosenberg Radio Presents: Joe Budden x Marisa Mendez x Rory – I’ll Name This Podcast Later [Episode 17]
Joey has been away filming, so me and Rory held it down once again in his absence. BUT, since you guys got no Joey at all last week (aside from his call in,) we decided to give you guys a treat, and the second half of the podcast is a 2002 Joey interview with Rosenberg! The fact that Rosenberg kept calling him “Joe BuddenS” and the way Joey is SO nice are both hilarious.
For the first half, Rory and I talk Summer Jam and the Finals, and we answer a couple emails.

Just before he takes the stage for his first-ever Summer Jam performance on Sunday (which is also his 24th birthday, by the way), Fetty Wap stopped by Hot 97 to chat with Ebro In The Morning this week.

On the faux dreads:
