Troy Ave takes a walk with journalist Elliott Wilson to discuss his rise to fame, new album and the independent lifestyle in 'The Truth.'

Class is in session! XXL magazine unveils the lineup for its Freshman 2014 cover. This year, two R&B singers are included much to the chagrin of devoted rap heads.

Some of New York City’s top rappers are featured in Hot 97's own Cipha Sounds and Drewski’s video for 'Banned From Radio.' The clip features Maino, Bodega Bamz, Chinx Drugz, Troy Ave, Mack Wilds and Boston rhymer City Boy Dee.

Adult Swim, Complex and DJBooth.net have teamed up to continue the tradition of releasing a mixtape for each new season of 'The Boondocks.'

Troy Ave has been dreaming of a 'White Christmas,' and we're not talking about the Bing Crosby kind either. Excess, money and the love of the hustle reign supreme again on 'White Christmas 2,' which arrives just in time for Christmas. The Brooklyn rapper's latest project is hosted by DJ Drama.

Some of the hottest rappers in the game converged on MTV’s 'RapFix Live' to participate in the show's last freestyle cypher of 2013.

Rumors of New York City rap's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Don't let people like Trinidad James fool you -- there are a plethora of dope acts emerging from the five boroughs and the music scene there couldn't be more exciting or diverse.
