I’m not going to pretend like I knew who Alori Joh was yesterday. I’m not going to pretend like I listened to her The Love Religion album from last November.

But I will tell you that I’m terribly saddened by the news that she passed away today. Without even knowing who she was, I’ve been an Alori Joh fan. Read the rest of this entry »

After a live preview, Bussa Bus answers the call of a hectic beat needing the murk treatment by hopping on Kendrick’s “Rigamortis.” Read the rest of this entry »

While watching Kendrick lay MCs out in the “Rigamortis” video, his whole aura evokes thoughts of Rakim’s “I take seven MCs put’em in a line” in my mind. Shot by The ICU, K.Dot and a three-piece brass section roam the streets of NY as a small funeral procession, knocking off weaker acts and adding art to rhyming again. Read the rest of this entry »

Kendrick Lamar’s “A.D.H.D.” video directed by VA$HTIE and presented by RockSmith. Although the video doesn’t do much to enhance the song, yet it didn’t require much since “A.D.H.D.” stands out as one of Section.80′s better offerings. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s always great to see an independent project grow some legs, and when Kendrick Lamar is the author of said project, the Kool-Aid tastes even sweeter. We already made you aware that he was shooting a video for the restless death march of “Rigamortis,” but he killed two birds while in New York City with King Va$htie, who directed the slow-burner “A.D.H.D.” Read the rest of this entry »

How many rappers today are renown first and foremost for their ability to rap? Not for the company they keep, hit record they may have had or who they may sound like, but strictly for their adeptness as a lyrical orator? Not many. Which is why Kendrick Lamar is such an intriguing commodity in the rap’s current climate. He’s been likened to the legendary Dr. Dre and it is unclear who is co-signing who at this point.

Chant a dozen Hail Mary’s and toss in a bouquet of black roses for Compton’s native son, Kendrick Lamar. Backed by bluesy horns on steroids, the rabble rousing sounds of “Rigamortis” from Section.80 is the next visual to be plastered on the young MC’s videography. Read the rest of this entry »

The ways of women can be wicked and Kendrick is here to testify. I’m sure no one will object as he continues to build the anticipation for Section.80 with one last drop of rain. In his latest adventure, “Tammy” joins the likes of Sasha Thumper and Susie Screw as another storied harlot of Hip-Hop. Read the rest of this entry »

K. Dot’s upcoming project doesn’t have any big name firepower per se, but he’s still earning the respect and attention of his more famous peers. From afar, they admire his work ethic and (overly) dedication. Uncle Snoop and the Mississippi Monster were just hanging out in Compton and offered up some words of encourage for the fiery upstart.

Kendrick’s Section.80 ranks as one of the most anticipated summer releases and the wait will be over come July 2nd. With all of the anticipation, the weird part is he’s eclipsed everyone who was making noise before him. Read the rest of this entry »

Kendrick finally did it. He finally dropped a track that doesn’t wow me on first listen, after displaying consistency reminiscent of Dirk at the charity stripe. Read the rest of this entry »

Best. Week. Ever. Or at least in a while. And the best way to cap it off would definitely be with new music from Kendrick, coming from his #Section80 album. Read the rest of this entry »

What started off as watching a kid from Compton’s YouTube video of him rhyming over Jay-Z and Alicia Keys “Empire State Of Mind” has turned into something I never saw coming. Kendrick Lamar is one of those rare breeds in the form of public opinion. Every conversation I have ever had about the guy with people who have heard his music has all centered around one basic response. “Yeah, Kendrick’s got it.” Read the rest of this entry »

And now all other musical submissions and releases will be ignored for an indefinite amount of time while I immerse myself in the twisted lyrical adventure lead by Kendrick on “Sex With Society.” Read the rest of this entry »

He does this for his culture.

With his newfound buzz growing by the millisecond, Kendrick Lamar could easily run out and “work” with the latest media-hyped undeserving imposter to propel himself into the system. Yet, there’s a story to be told, message to be spread and a radioactive flow that cannot be contained in a catchy cadence just so the kids can remember the lyrics a little easier.
