Tried to tell mofo’s bout this record when it first dropped. But noooo, because it’s Ace Hood’s record it was automatically wack. Pshhh. DerickG supplies us with some BTS footage of the “Hustle Hard” visual.

If you’re familiar with Boola, then you’re pretty much familiar with his Produced By Boola Weekly Music releases that’ve lived on this page for the past two months. With that said, YRB & Boola are partnering up for the Produced By Boola Music Series Wrap Event at the Thompson Hotel tomorrow night on 190 Allen St in NYC starting at 7pm. Yours truly will be taking care of hosting responsibilities with DJ K3, DJ Nickiee and DJ Fadelf on the 1s & 2s throughout the evening. Strict dress code enforced (not my decision).

This lived on Saigon’s DJ Drama assisted Welcome To Saigon mixtape from 2006.
Apparently if you purchased the Decoded iPhone application, this clip of Jay-Z breaking down the evoloution of his lyrics comes along with it. Nice. To bad I don’t have an iPhone, nor do I care to get one.
