This week in Audio Singles, there was a diss from one California rising star to some regional peers, a new free mega-collaboration project revealed from three major label stars, and a surprise single from two of Hip Hop’s biggest hit-makers. Some recent Internet hits maintained a spot on DX’s Top 10 (taken at the time of posting), though it was a week of change – especially without Lil Wayne, who dominated last week’s chart.
Jay-Z & Kanye West Restore The Throne With “Otis”
Wednesday saw the second official leak from Jay-Z & Kanye West’s Watch The Throne collaborative album. This time, the pair brought in Otis Redding’s “Try A Little Tenderness” to make a soulful add to the airwaves. With deejays like Funkmaster Flex and Cosmic Kev playing the record consecutive times, it was a landslide winner in this week’s popularity contest in DX’s Singles section.
Hopsin Unloads On Tyler, The Creator
Panorama City, California’s Hopsin is a triple threat – an emcee, a producer and a video director. Briefly signed in the late ’00s resurgance of Ruthless Records, Hop is now self-releasing his works through Funk Volume. Already a popular emcee under the radar of most radio, video outlets – as well as the Internet, the grassroots royalty released “The Ill Mind Of Hopsin #4” this week. The affiliate of Tech N9ne took shots at OFWGKTA‘s Tyler, The Creator, which drew interest to the Greater Los Angeles native’s hustle, bringing a new name to the top of the charts.

You Hipsters make me sick. You should all have your own website called everythingnowiswack.com. And then never go to it because it use to be better back in the day and is wack now…losersz
Hiphopdx needs to put some of Hopsin’s older joints on the site and watch them blow up just as much as Ill Mind did. Every song on Hopsin’s last album “Raw” is hotter then the majority of the song put on here. So do it…
true words my friend true words
