Dipset Kick Off 2015 With 'Have My Money'
The Dipset wave fizzled out a bit after the rappers delivered the 2014 standout ‘Dips—s’ back in May. But now we have a Dipset mixtape to look forward to and that anticipation has increased with ‘Have My Money.’ Funkmaster Flex debuted the new jam on Hot 97 last night (Dec. 5).
Instead of A-Trak, Vinny Idol is behind the boards for a beat that favors saxophone smoothness over an anthemic sound. It’s clear once again that this is Dipset’s type of beat as the quotables (“I ain’t talkin’ ’bout music when I said I did s— with Mariah.” Shoutouts to Meek Mill) come in numbers. The Harlem, N.Y.-bred team are all about the money here.
“I was selling coke, no joke, no cola / Just made a quarter mill off Ebola, what’s up,” Cam’ron raps as he opens the track. “Still do Harlem in my flip flops, summertime, hopping out the ‘Rari with the missing top,” Jim Jones serves.
‘Have My Money’ will land on the upcoming Dipset mixtape, which is coming later this year and will feature Cam, Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey.

Sam Smith Shares Photos of New Boyfriend on Instagram
Sam Smith is in the lonely hour no more. The emo singer has found a new boyfriend named Jonathan Zeizel and is sharing his love all over social media.
According to the Huffington Post, the 22-year-old Brit crooner and his boo had fun while on vacation in Australia, including hanging out on a boat and enjoying a moonlit night at the park. In one photo on Sam’s Instagram, the two even re-create the famous scene from ‘Titanic,’ in which Leonardo DiCaprio is holding Kate Winslett at the front of the ship. “I’m flying Jack, I’m flying,” mimics the ‘Stay With Me’ singer in his Instagram caption.
Jonathan is a dancer and interestingly, was one of the extras in Sam’s ‘Like I Can’ music video. “It’s very early days. I’m talking very, very, very early days,” Sam explained to The Sun. “But he’s really sweet… he was one of 20 extras. It’s a surreal thing to be talking about because I haven’t even confirmed with him that we’re officially seeing each other.”
Back in May 2014, the crooner admitted that he had never been in love and his debut album was dedicated to a dude who had done him wrong. “I’ve never been in a relationship before. I’ve only been in unrequited relationships where people haven’t loved me back. I guess I’m a little bit attracted to that in a bad way,” he said. “‘In the Lonely Hour’ is about a guy that I fell in love with last year, and he didn’t love me back.”
Take a look at Sam’s budding romance below.

A New Release for a New Year
After dropping his debut full-length LP earlier this year, Whirlwind D is back with a brand new single. ...Not from the album, but two new cuts. Still on B-Line Recordings, D has a nice, little 7" single, pressed on white (white) vinyl in a cool picture cover and limited to 250 copies. And there is no mp3 download or streaming alternative this time - it's vinyl or nothin', kids.
The A-side is "Time Waits for No Man," produced by Phil Wilks, the guy who did the "Star" refix on his last album, and features some especially nice cutting Specifik. D always has the best scratching on his records; I love it. The track's a great blend of funky percussion, a cool, headnodder bassline and a fresh 80s-style stuttering guitar riff. And the cuts. They mostly come in for the hook, switching between a few, fun time-related vocal samples; but they really blend into the instrumental nicely. They're an integral part of the track, not just a DJ getting busy over a beat. And lyrically, the song's got an appealing - if a little self-helpy - message with a nice, off-bar rhyme scheme: "Time to/ Make a plan, look around and scan/ Your peers, woman to man, every single damn/ Detail. Never fail to cover your trail/ In search of life's treasures and the holy grail." And it's hard not to notice, again, falling nicely into the "grown man rap" niche.
Comparatively, the B-side, "One, Two," is more of a casual, back-and-forth freestyle song with Rola (of the Numskullz), who also produces. Once again, Specifik provides cuts, this time saved for the end. It's fun, with a funky, slow beat and breezy punchlines (although I'm not sure what it means to "glow like Eddie Deezen?"). But the A-side's the one you're going to latch onto; this one's more like filler. Good filler, but still filler.
You can't argue with the price; just £6 direct from B-Line. You can hear sound clips here and judge for yourself. It's hard to deny he's got a good sound.
