Some of the best of the young talent on the scene to this day appear on this track and each and everyone of them holds their own.  A great song once again produced by the Blended Babies, "Bout a Dolla" does not disappoint.  The O'My's are really on a roll with their latest release the,Chicago Style mixtape and now "Bout a Dolla."

Chip Tha Ripper - "The Jam" (feat. Casey Veggies)

Two artists who should have been featured in this year's XXL Freshmen list (although Chip denied the look) link up to release this jam that boasts a Killa Cam sample. I thought for sure XXL would get at least a few of them right this year...but again, I was wrong. Danny Brown is just about the only one I fully agree with, but we'll save these thoughts for another post.

Chiddy Bang - "Extra Well" (feat. Chip Tha Ripper)

Though this joint won't appear on Chiddy Bang's debut album Breakfast, which drops next week, Chiddy and Xaphoon let loose of a collaboration with the Cleveland representative Chip Tha Ripper. Too dope to be a loose track, expect this one to land on the duo's mixtape Grab A Plate, which, as of now, has no release date.

Although we've heard what seems to be almost all of the album, The Cool Kids and their label Green Label Sound continue to give us more tracks. This is one of best we've heard yet, due mostly to the star-studded lineup and Chuck's dope production. When Fish Ride Bicycles drops in its entirety July 12th.

Chip Tha Ripper - "Everyday Chillin'" (Video)

Yet another Gift Raps joint gets visualized. Hoping that the next track from said project to score a video  is either "Plural" or "U.A.F." If you get the chance hit up Chip and Cudi, who are coming to a city near you while on their Cud Life Tour. Selfish name by Cudder.

Chip Tha Rip just let go of this freestyle via Twitter, saying he recorded it in his hotel room in Oklahoma City prior to his show tonight. Chip sounds good over these upbeat type instrumentals.

I thought I got this when I purchased the Deluxe Version of Cudi's MOTM II ? Guess it's a different version or the internets wouldn't be spazzin' about this. Anyway, peep the vid for a behind the scenes look at Scotty livin' the Cud Life. It appears as though Kid Cudi and Chip Tha Ripper will be embarking on a tour soon under the moniker The Cud Life Tour, more info on that when it circulates.
