Chicago MC Hollywood Holt has a new video out, called… “Hollywood”. Don’t really like it, but “The Anthem” with Million $ Mano is real dope.

cardiff dubstep producer Staggas tune right here is defffnitlly sick as sin. thats the first reason for featuring him, although theres not more rap elements in it than on an average Evil Activities hardcore banger. second is, that his dj crew chrome kids dedicates its blog, my favorite one this week, to the “digitally mutated bastard offspring of hiphop”.
