Hailing from the west side, San Diego, CA to be more exact, iLLy We$tSide is back with a new joint. It’s definitely a banger. For those who do not know much about iLLy We$tSide, just know that he is definitely a grinder at what he does. Music is something that he excels at and he is next to blow coming out of his city.
“Do It Big” is much more than a boost song from the westside lyricist, but more about his story. iLLy speaks on coming up from the bottom, making moves to get to the top, making profits, and flexing on his naysayers to say the least. The song is like an anthem. It’s a get-your-weight-up-and-crush-the-competition type of track to get you hype and more motivated than ever. For his fans, they will definitely love this track. For new and potential fans and supporters, “Do It Big” is an example of what is next to come for iLLy.

After creating one of the best projects of 2016, Trouble has spent most of the year promoting his superb standout Skoobzilla mixtape. Consistently releasing videos and performing his high energy live shows throughout the southeast, it seemed like Trouble was simply riding the wave of well-earned success. That couldn't be farther from the truth.
Trouble has been working with everyone from Shawty Fresh to Metro Boomin; C4 to Mike Will Made It and more. While Skoobzilla made many aware of Trouble, he's been an established street artist in the south for a few years. His 2015 project #ZayDidIt - which was Executive Produced by Zaytoven - sparked the current growth spurt for the Atlanta street artist and saw him developing a sound beyond the stark haunting music he'd created in his first mixtapes.
Now we have the latest work from Troub & Zay titled "Who You Kiddin". The uptempo bass-heavy bouncing track frames the portrait Trouble paints with the lyrics. Menacing & witty; celebratory & lesson giving - it all sounds like fun if you're not paying attention as Trouble snarls: "I went from a chain-gang cell to a f***** jet/Went from talking bout it to bringing my Mom a check. I went from showing love and a n**** being unappreciated/To saying f*** a n**** he got a hoe heart and you'll never make it. P****!"
The streets of the Atlanta underworld are ruthless and dirty and grimy. Trouble is a diamond shining among the refuse.
Look for the full project #BIGGTROUBLE to drop before the year's out. Right now enjoy the latest from one of the most authentic voices in rap today.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A Charlotte police officer who shot and killed a black man at an apartment complex, touching off several nights of unrest in the city, will not face charges, a North Carolina prosecutor announced Wednesday.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg District Attorney Andrew Murray said Officer Brentley Vinson's actions in killing Keith Lamont Scott were justified.
Scott's family has said he was not armed.
However, at a lengthy news conference Murray displayed a nearby store's surveillance video showing the outline of what appeared to be a holstered gun on Scott's ankle, and he gave extensive details about other evidence that Scott was armed.
Plainclothes officers had gone to the complex about 4 p.m. on Sept. 20 looking for a suspect with an outstanding warrant when they saw Scott — not the suspect they were looking for — inside a car with a gun and marijuana, department spokesman Keith Trietley has said in a statement.
Keith Lamont Scott, right, with his wife and son.
Officers saw Scott get out of the car with a gun and then get back in, police said. When officers approached, they said, Scott exited the car with the gun again. At that point, officers deemed Scott a threat and Vinson fired his weapon.
Scott, 43, was pronounced dead at Carolinas Medical Center. An autopsy report from Mecklenburg County authorities says Scott died of gunshot wounds to the back and abdomen.
Vinson, who is also black, had been with the department for two years at the time of the shooting. He has been on administrative leave which is standard in police shootings.
Officer Brentley Vinson
Scott's family has said he did not have a gun, but detectives recovered a firearm at the scene, police said.
At a Wednesday news conference, Murray played a nearby store's surveillance video that appeared to show the outline of a gun in a holster on Scott's right ankle.
Body camera and dashcam recordings released earlier by the police department did not conclusively show that and city officials were criticized for the length of time it took to release police video of the shooting.
Scott's final moments also were recorded by his wife, Rakeyia, in a video shared widely on social media. She can be heard shouting to police that her husband "doesn't have a gun." She pleads with the officers not to shoot before a burst of gunfire can be heard.
The shooting led to two nights of violent protests, including a fatal shooting in downtown Charlotte the next night. The unrest gave way to several more days of largely peaceful demonstrations, and the city instituted a curfew for multiple nights.
In October, police in North Carolina's largest city invited the Police Foundation, an independent, nonpartisan organization based in Washington, D.C., to review its policies and procedures following the shooting.
The foundation has done similar reviews elsewhere, assessing police in St. Louis County, Missouri, after the unrest in Ferguson, and analyzing the response to the terror attack in San Bernardino, California.
The case was among a series across the country since mid-2014 that has spurred a national debate over race and policing.
A trial is underway in Charleston, South Carolina, for a since-fired white patrolman, Michael Slager, facing 30 years to life if convicted of murder in the death last year of a black man, Walter Scott, shot while running from a traffic stop in April.
A Minnesota police officer who shot and killed Philando Castile during a July traffic stop remains free as a manslaughter case against him proceeds.
Deaths of other unarmed black males at the hands of law enforcement officers have inspired protests under the "Black Lives Matter" moniker.
The Black Lives Matter movement traces its roots to the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012, and gained national ground after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.

Houston rapper Kirko Bangz has shown a lot of promise over the last several years, but he's yet to release a full album. Here's a new song that will hopefully be the lead in to that debut. For this one Kirko he recruits Z-Ro for a song titled "Money On the Dresser."
Who would've thought that alot of old school tactics would still be super relevant in this day and age of hip hop.Rasta B exemplifies that by giving birth to an old sound in a new generation in the new video "ATLiens" freestyle.
Giving the roots to true Atlanta hip hop, the ATL emcee makes sure from jump not to deliver nothing weak to where dumbing lyrics down would be an issue.Keeping it just as Outkast, Rasta serves it up with punchlines and metaphors across the board showing lyrics do matter.This is the rebirth of hip hop coming from ATL from this rising emcee.
This one's an earth scorcher. Producers Domingo and Khardier Da God lay down a bass heavy beat for Joell Ortiz, Chris Rivers and Whisper's collaboration titled "What I Feel."
