Curren$y and his cronies match one, giving up two tracks in one visual and sharing up scenes of the Jet life. Read the rest of this entry »

Now I do not know Terrace or Devi so hopefully the title does not offend anybody. It was just too good to ignore. Anyway, the duo’s track record for releasing quality music together is proven with their most recent initiative being this year’s The Sex EP. A slight bit of controversy surrounded its release as well. Kim Kardashian damn near blew her top (no pun intended, ok maybe a tad) upon finding her mammary glands on the cover and attempted to have it removed from every corner of the Internet.

Poor Joel Anthony. All he wanted to do was be a good teammate and help out on defense. And what does he get for his troubles? Read the rest of this entry »

The timing in which a song is presented is almost as important as its actual quality. It’s the reason why most Lupe singles will never gain spins in nightclubs or why most sane people will never in a million years listen to the “Racks On Racks (Remix)” on their own free will. Many probably remember Jhené Aiko for her collaboration with Drake last year, although she’s been around the industry for many years prior to said record’s liberation. Read the rest of this entry »

Very dope track from the Random Axe trio and Black’s keys are the business. Read the rest of this entry »

When Sasha Grey “retired” from porn, she bid everyone adieu but promised to return in print with NEÜ SEX. Made in collaboration with VICE, the book provides a closer and intimate look at her private life outside of her previous work in film. Read the rest of this entry »

At first I was confused as to why K.R.I.T. was dropping R4: The Prequel at all. Essentially, just four songs from an album that didn’t need to be shrunk and a six-month-old remix, this mini-listen is almost completely unnecessary for any of his legitimate fans. Then again, maybe that’s not who it’s intended for. Read the rest of this entry »

The Los Angeles life and times of Skeme always prove to be well worth tuning in. He outlines explicit details about the street but he’s not a gangsta rapper. He’s tapped into the artistic side of the studio process but he’s not a rappity rapper, either. In a nutshell, he incorporates nearly every element a Cali head is expected to represent; a few rappers in one. Read the rest of this entry »

These days, artists have to go to great lengths to stand out. Whether it’s eating cockroaches or assuming another man’s identity, music just isn’t enough anymore. Putting on such misleading fronts happens to be the theme of “Whole World See It,” from Harlem’s own Riz. Read the rest of this entry »

The Weeknd is the talk of the town currently, but there was a point long before Entourage came knocking when he played the background like so many other talented songwriters before him. In 2009, the Toronto talent was apart of a songwriting/production team that went by the name The Noise. Read the rest of this entry »

The dark cloud that once followed an angst-filled teen around the Queensbridge housing projects, has found its way to Atlanta, GA. Fresh out of prison, Duct Tape Entertainment’s Trouble has been keeping busy living up to his name. On this one, Trouble saves the questions for himself (“How the fuck them birds fall from out the sky like that?/Why the Lord let DJ die and make me cry like that?”) on the intense “World Goes ‘Round.” Read the rest of this entry »

It’s an undeniably morbid thought to consider the exact song I want played at my funeral. I’m 21 and a college junior, so I don’t think I’ll be kicking the bucket any time soon (knocks hard on wood desk). However, with the inevitable occasion in mind, there’s only one track that I want blaring right before the priest reads my last rights: Read the rest of this entry »

Trae Tha Truth is without a doubt one of the most underrated, overlooked, deserving talents of this game. He’s well aware of it so no need to go because it hasn’t steered him away from the quest to get his forthcoming album, Street King on shelves this summer (6.28.11, mark the date!). To celebrate his retail victory, the Houston Astro called up Don Cannon and explicitly instructed he needed some street heat to let the fans know what’s around the corner.
