Myrical Child's joint "Floyd Mayweather" is essentially a song of bragging rights. Showing off the boxer's undefeated streak with braggadocios rhymes and encouraging chants of, "Go money!" Myrical Child does well with this one, from concept to execution, it's pretty clever.
Turner Jackson is putting out a project called My Heart Needs Space, and by the looks of this anthemic video for "Denver Superstar," the MC will likely be rap/singing metaphoric odes over down tempo beats. The hook could have used less of the singing, but as always, Turner raps his head off.

Speaking of rapping heads, Dyalekt and Spoke in Wordz have teamed up to deliver a love song to the soft drink, Pepsi that, while humorous, is one of the most cohesive songs in this week's line-up. Featuring a drop from DJ Bedz, and a nice diss to kool-aid, the fellas prove they can rap about anything, and it's damn good.
Innerstate Ike teamed up with Mass Prod for his track "Nia Long." Ike pretty much rips every beat he takes on but the MC is most impressive on this one. The line, "having money feels great like some good pussy," sounds almost demure against the grave production. To put it quite frank, this is gangster shit at its finest.
Rounding out this week's rap news is a video filmed by Joe Thunder showcasing the graffiti side of things. Peep the video with a track from B.Blacc.
