iHipHop will return to SXSW this year for yet another incredible official showcase. Being that it’s our third-year in a row bringing the best and brightest in all of hip-hop to Austin, Texas, we had no choice but to pull out all of the stops. We couldn’t have done it all by ourselves, so big shout outs to our co-presenters Babygrande and The Madbury Club. This year GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan will headline the event, while being backed by none other than Grammy Award winning band Grupo Fantasma (Brownout). The showcase will also include performances by east coast hardcore veterans M.O.P. as well as Curren$y’s entire Jet Life crew (Trademark Da Skydiver, Young Roddy, Smoke DZA, Sir Michael Rocks of The Cool Kids, Fiend, Cornerboy P & Street Wiz), Marz Lovejoy, Flatbush Zombies, T. Mills, Airplane Boys, Mod Sun and DJ Statik Selektah. Whether you’re a hip-hop head or a casual listener, this is place to be. The showcase will take place on Saturday March 17, 2012 at Haven, located at 409 Colorado, Austin. Doors at 8pm. For more information, visit SXSW.com

Don’t you just LOVE the controversy that goes along with the annual XXL Freshman list?!

If this isn’t a good look, then what is?! Anyone think that Jay-Z being chums with Chris Martin had anything to do with this?

Looks like the wave is over… Max B’s last attempt at freedom has falling on deaf ears, and now the name born as Charly Wingate won’t have a chance at seeing the light of day until November 9th, 2042, (that’s when he’s eligible for parole). Keep your head up Max. Shoutout to Rapdose.com for the scoop.
