Last night, Source Magazine held an issue release party at Club Rebel in Manhattan. The industry’s elite, socialites, and casual event goers populated the Midtown night club in support.

Mac Miller, 2 Chainz, and Tyga graced the cover for issue #251. 2 Chainz was spotted taking pictures with Contributing Editor for the Source, Kazeem Famuyide on the red carpet who celebrated his birthday. Power 105.1′s Angela Yee & Charlamagne, Karen Civil, Elliot Wilson of Rap Radar, and Shade 45′s Devi Dev were amongst the notables in attendance.

The atmosphere was prime for networking and fun times. Music was provided by Queens’ natives DJ Zeke and Ernie B. Special thanks to the Event and Promotions Department of Source Magazine for granting KBB with access to their event.

I hate covers! Hate them with an unbridled passion the likes of which the universe has never known. I think its a lazy way to ride on someone else’s heat. That said. I usually will let rappers live though since my love of the game came during an era of dope MC’s hopping on other people’s beats. But the abundance of “struggle” that inhabits the internets has made even that a risky position to hold. So with all that said you have to be coming with some bars for real to get a pass. And this dude Lecks Get It On definitely fits that bill. Been hearing his name for a while and with this refix of Jay and Ye’s hit I can see why. Pretty imaginative the way he uses the letters of the town to break up the opposition. And the assist from FN was a good addition.

The visual feel on this is pretty damn good too. Director JB Sapienza and the DP, Adam Van Vorhis deserve a salute as well.

I absolutely cannot listen to ” Niggas in Paris” any longer. Thank You Yasiin Bey ! (Mos Def)

A bit reminiscent of the “Flavor In Ya Ear (Remix)” video, French Montana lets go of the visual for the “Shot Caller” remix. The black and white Colin Tiley directed video has a couple cameos from a few Bad Boy family members including Cassie. Diddy told us all that he “can’t stop, won’t stop”. With new signees like Los, Machine Gun Kelly and French Montana on board, its a new era for Bad Boy. How long do you think Diddy can keep the Bad Boy reign going?

Somewhere Lux and Slaughterhouse are losing their brains. Hodgy, Domo Genesis And Tyler, The Creator from OFWGKTA serve the first visuals from their upcoming group album.

The Snowman hung out with The ShowOff last week at Sirius. They went into Jeezy’s new project TM103 and why it took so long for it to come to life.
