The US housing slump deepened this spring. Where does that leave home shoppers and sellers?
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The nation’s housing market sales slump is dragging on into its third straight year, as evidenced by another weak spring homebuying season. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes fell in the March-May period from a year earlier, and early June data point to another down month. The lackluster spring sales are a reflection of the affordability challenges many home shoppers face due to elevated mortgage rates, a shortage of properties on the market and record-high home prices. Economists are projecting mortgage rates will ease modestly by the end of this year. But a small decline in rates may not be enough to improve affordability, and may drive prices higher.

Blu Travels Through The "Wild Wild West" On Evidence-Produced New Single: Stream
Blu talks about his perspective on California crime over a gorgeous and tender Evidence production: a true recipe for greatness. Blu is easily one of the most legendary and prolific underground rappers over the past twenty years or so; did you really think he'd let up? Moreover, the Los Angeles MC recently dropped the Evidence-produced single "Wild Wild West," which is only available via its YouTube music video at press time (though it might appear on streaming services soon, so check your preferred DSP). Just a couple of weeks ago, he dropped another Evidence collab titled "Lost Angel," so hopefully this means we have a full team-up project on the way.
