3XGP-RADIO: Lloyd Banks ft. Juelz Santana – Beamer, Benz Or Bentley

March 10th, 2010 | By Rick From Chicago

Lloyd Banks ft. Juelz Santana –

Beamer, Benz Or Bentley

In the past month or so, this song has been catching fire on radio and in the clubs.  The youngest member of the G-Unit will be releasing a new album independently.   Juelz Santana jumped on this record via a connection with his own Skull Gang member John Depp – who is cousins with Banks.

Shout out to Allen Choo, he’s going to be joining the Team-3XGP soon and will be helping out with music posts from time to time, he knows his stuff and put me onto this one!  If you’re ever in Atlanta, hit him up, he runs the nightlife down there!

‘Beamer, Benz or Bentley’ music video will drop March 16, 2010

INDUSTRY INTERVIEW: Game (Part 2) (by DJ Z)

December 18th, 2009 | By Rick From Chicago

Game

In part one of our interview with Game, the Compton heavyweight sat down with DJ Z to talk about his newly “The” free stage name, the status of the D.O.C. (Diary of Compton) project he described in his June ‘08 Booth interview and why, contrary to popular belief, he’s not a big fan of hip-hop beef.

Now, we are proud to present the thrilling conclusion to our interview, in which Game discusses his feelings on going into the studio with such top-tier producers as Dre, Primo and Pharrell, where he places in his own “Top Five Rappers Alive” list, and why he actually doesn’t want to see weed legalized.

INDUSTRY INTERVIEW: Game (Part 1) (by DJ Z)

December 16th, 2009 | By Rick From Chicago

Game

Like most high-profile ‘retirement’ announcements, The Game‘s claim that last year’s L.A.X. LP would be his final studio album proved to be… well, greatly exaggerated. After six years of grinding, touring and – yes – engaging in high-profile beef with everyone from Jay-Z to

G-Unit , the rapper born Jayceon Taylor simply needed a breath of fresh air and a change of scenery. Now, the Left Coast icon’s many devoted fans will be happy to hear that Game’s back, rejuvenated, and thoroughly R.E.D.edicated to what really matters: the music.

The R.E.D. Album, Game’s fourth full-length, is shaping up to be a landmark project in several regards, not least of which is its high-profile pair of executive producers: Game’s early mentor, West Coast legend Dr. Dre (returning to work with the emcee for the first time since ‘05’s The Documentary) and superstar artist/beatsmith Pharrell Williams. Featuring buzz singles “Krazy” and “Big Money” (feat. Gucci Mane & Timbaland), the album is scheduled to land on store shelves sometime this February.

In part one of Game’s exclusive interview with our own DJ Z, the heavyweight rapper discusses the reasons behind his decision to drop the “The” from his stage name, why his reputation as a beef-lover is a misnomer, and the status of the D.O.C. (Diary of Compton) project he described to us back in June of ‘08.
