Kendrick Lamar – “God Is Gangsta” (Video)
January 4, 2016
K.Dot will NOT stop. Wrapping 2015 and kicking off 2016 all while pushing the artistic envelope; as well as his latest from “To Pimp A Butterfly.” Check out the visuals for “God Is Gangsta” (the title for this presentation of two singles – “U” and “For Sale”)… at least twice to get over that WTF effect this is sure to put on you.
Portrait of a tortured artist… yeah, that’s gonna be a strong understatement for this one. Just watch (and watch again).

KRS-ONE – “Now Hear This” (Album) [Video]
November 27, 2015
“Everywhere I go, from big festival stages to intimate clubs and bars, people want that boom-bap. But still, even though the streets are crying-out for more depth and authenticity in Hip-Hop, very few rappers today are willing to actually deliver.â€
– KRS-ONE
The Teacha – may as well be The Principal –  laying down principles, history and more for real Hip-Hop. Always! KRS-ONE dropped the new topics in his “Now Hear This” album out now. Created while KRS-ONE was touring the U.S., U.K. and Europe, check out the DOPE video above. We linked for the copping whenever you get ready to receive that blessing.

Jadakiss Joins ‘The Nightly Show’ Panel Hosted By Larry Wilmore (Video)
November 27, 2015
Jadakiss joined Larry Wilmore’s panel on The Nightly Show the other night. Got in on the discussion on student protests against racism, stagnation of progress on race-related matters on campus and across the country and more. The dude got to show skills on the mic in a different light, and no doubt to keep making noise for his project “Top 5 Dead Or Alive” push and for his place among Hip-Hop’s top noteworthies.

MMM (Documentary)
November 21, 2015
I ain’t come here to die. I came here to live… I need more…
– Diddy
I’m digging several songs off of this project. And the video above provides a behind-the-scenes look at the construction of Puff Daddy & The Family’s album “MMM.” Studio WORK! Inspirational snips and quips captured during Diddy mini-rants. Plenty, plenty studio guests. Diddy musing and laboring over the board. Driving every part of the creative process… Feel that 90s Bad Boy energy!

Rapper Big Pooh x Nottz – “300Z” (Video)
November 21, 2015
If left on its own, the music in this beat could have been some smoothed out easy listening instrumental. Instead there is a nervous energy incorporated that lays out a track for Nottz to take us on a bumpy audio and visual ride; with an abrupt last stop. Rapper Big Pooh is the lyrical co-pilot (and “good” conscience, and “bad” conscience). Get this single “300Z” and more on Pooh and Nottz collabo LP “Home Sweet Home” (out now).

Talib Kweli – “Which Side Are You On” feat. Tef Poe x Kendra Ross (Prod. By Nottz) [Video]
November 17, 2015
Kendra Ross chanting that “Which Side Are You On” is like her taking us all to the church of Talib Kweli; special guest Tef Poe and music director Nottz on the beat. Stirring audio and visual off the “Indie 500” project Kweli and 9th Wonder have out now. Don’t be surprised if you get more than a little fired up after experiencing this.

Miguel – “waves” (Video)
November 17, 2015
We regret to inform all haters that Miguel is still hard at work; still falling through sets collecting checks, handshakes, hugs and kisses from lovelies (maybe even your misses). Why not just hop on the bandwagon and ride with the “Wildheart” on yet another jam from the LP? This visual release for “waves” would be a perfect opportunity.
Ty Dolla $ign – “LA” feat. Kendrick Lamar x Brandy x James Fauntleroy
November 16, 2015
Go ‘head and click play on this “LA” ’cause who knows when ‘they’ will snatch it back. Very worthy single from what should be a solid album entitled “Free TC” (out now, linked below).
