Snoop Dogg is getting ready to drop his new mixtape, That's My Work Vol. 3 later today, but has decided to release a leak from the DJ Drama-hosted project a few hours ahead.

The other day Freddie Gibbs almost pulled one over on us when he revealed what many deemed to be the cover art to his joint effort with Madlib, Pinata, on Instagram. He quickly clarified that it was not the official art, rather, just a poster to keep the word circulating.

When hip-hop began, samples were all that DJs and producers had to construct instrumental tracks with. They'd dig through crates of vinyl trying to find isolated drum breaks, melodies or vocals that they could repurpose for use in hip-hop music.

As we do every week, we're bringing you some dope records that dropped in the last seven days, each of which deserve more views.

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib have become frequent collaborators, and their joint output is not coming to a halt anytime soon. The duo have two projects in the works, and have now revealed the release dates for both.

Freddie Gibbs is finally planning to release Piñata, his long overdue collaborative project with Madlib, on March 18th. In anticipation of the new drop date, Gibbs premiered a new track Benji B's BBC Radio 1 show.

Freddie Gibbs has been one of the most consistent artists in the game over the last few years, but he's never had the break he really deserved. Much of this was caused by his public fallout with Young Jeezy, whose CTE imprint was originally set to house Gibb's major label debut.

A new reveal from veteran L.A. emcee/producer Madlib's upcoming 30-track "Rock Konducta Vol. 1-2" project, the latest instalment in his ongoing Beat Konducta series, inspired by international kraut, prog and psych rock from the 60s-80s.

West Coast duo TiRon & Ayomari take on Madlib's "America's Most Blunted" instrumental, from his essential 2004 project "Madvillainy" with MF DOOM. This is definitely a departure from the "The Wonderful Prelude" EPs they dropped recently (cop them in our mixtape section). How'd they handle it?
