Jay-Z – “Legacy†(Video)
November 27, 2017
Yup. While some rappers get in celeb circles, take selfies and drop names, Hov is making the connects… and getting them to show up in his music video. I mean, why not make your music video a MOVIE by putting a movie star in it? Like Ron Perlman and Susan Sarandon, for starters, in this visual for “Legacy” (off “4:44”)? Exclusively showing on Tidal.

T-Pain – “Oblivion” (Album)
November 22, 2017
Yessir, that T-Pain. The one that brought auto-tune to the masses in the day (you know, when rappers hit the studios and did not come out until the engineer ‘put some T-Pain on it’). His LP is called “Oblivion”… as in he is back from it!
Knxwledge – “Krew_”
November 22, 2017
GoldLink does remixes (yup). And now, know what? Knxwledge did a remix… of a GoldLink joint. This is his take on “Crew†(retitled “Krew_”). Part of the “WT.11_8” project.
ScienZe – “I Would Rob A Whole Bank For You” (Video)
November 22, 2017
A hot jawn off “Kind of Dessert” and a video featuring tasty hot caramel-coated piece of sweetness. “I Would Rob A Whole Bank For You†is the right title ScienZe. Shiiiid. For her, so would we!
The vid blends into “Main Course” late in as a ‘Chapter 2’… where we get a good look at how good a look it was for ScienZe to have the uber-sexy Leiza Marie Cabrera in this. Oh. My. Damn!

Statik Selektah – “No. 8” feat. Conway x Westside Gunn x Termanology (Video)
November 21, 2017
You know what the f**k it is!
Starting out lyrically strong-arming ’em! Yeeeauuh gahdammit!
And putting Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, and Termanology on a Stat track is more than asking for it, right? So that’s why you get what you mother-father getting right now!! Give it up! Run that!
(Trying to be on some ‘thug-it-out tuff stuff’ because Hip-Hop, but actually… this sh!t is too dope. So I gotta grin at the win!)
Yet another banger off that forthcoming “8” project from Statik Selektah.

Talib Kweli – “Traveling Light” feat. Anderson .Paak (Prod. By Kaytranada) [Video]
November 20, 2017
…Barry Allen mixed with Harry Allen…
…the voice of a generation that’s very silent…
Well speak on it, Talib Kweli!
“She’s My Hero”… “Heads Up Eyes Open” and now, we look to “Traveling Light” (featuring Anderson .Paak). Yep. Plenty of proof. Proof positive… that the latest Kweli plate (“Radio Silence”) is stacked up deep with dopeness!
Banging azz music by Kay, .Paak, and Kweli without a doubt. But the “Real N!gga PSA” that Dave Chappelle put in here at the end though. Son. LIFE!!!!!!

Evidence – “Jim Dean” (Video)
November 20, 2017
Hot damn if this shyt don’t bang!! Incredible feel when the Beats & Lyrics run together and over a cliff like this. Flows like a waterfall in this “Jim Dean†jawn! And to bring it further into life, in visual form, Evidence tapped his video go-to guy, Jason Goldwatch. Because…
The first Dilated Peoples Video, “Third Degree,†was directed by Jason. My first solo video, “Mr. Slow Flow,†was directed by Jason. He’s always been a part of my team, not just some guy for hire. Being that he moved to LA from NY recently, we knew it was time to work. The new video is jumping all over LA to narrate the lyrics through still and moving images. Jason came up with an amazing way to have it all transition together through SSUR t-shirts coming to life. The locations in the video are personally important to me -the alley where I grew up, Alchemist’s studio etc.
– Evidence
“Jim Dean†is on Evidence’s forthcoming album “Weather or Not†(due out January 26, 2018).
Talib Kweli – “Radio Silence” (Album)
November 17, 2017
Hm. Something about Kweli’s artwork for this… an abstract rendering of a screaming person we cannot hear. “Radio Silence” – finished, done, dope. Boom!
(Oh, bank on the music being good, too.)

CyHi The Prynce – “No Dope On Sundays” (Album)
November 14, 2017
Yep. We are living in a time when NPR is repping the realest real music. G.O.O.D. Music in this case, as CyHi’s forthcoming “No Dope On Sundays” LP is the focus of this “First Listen” ep. And they are FEELING the words of The Prynce over there.
CyHi The Prynce brings Jesus to the trap and spits a testimony full of raw human contradiction.
– Rodney Carmichael, NPR
Ahhh, that explains the preacher’s collar CyHi’s been rocking lately.
