J. Cole – “Crooked Smile” feat. TLC (Video)
September 20, 2013
This is an impactful cut (and video) off J. Cole’s “Born Sinner” LP. “Crooked Smile” features legendary R&B act TLC. Of course, you’ll watch to the end because it’s Cole. But this one will get you! Remember to breathe midway through, and pay attention to the background music as the video draws to a close. American law enforcement should reconsider a lot of things. Deep.

14KT – “Five & Ten” (Video)
September 5, 2013
14KT declares that this is straight from the heart; straight from head to mouthpiece into the mic for the most part. “Five & Ten” is the first track off 14KT’s album – “Nickel & Dimed” – which is what he is tired of being.
“I wrote this off of the frustration of releasing instrumental projects in my profession. I’ve been approached/treated MANY times in very unprofessional and disrespectful ways. I wanted to be a voice for all of my producer peers who deal with this frustration and to serve as a notice for up and coming producers/beat makers.”
Message! Respect the beat architect (aka the beatmaker). Check out the visuals for “Five & Ten.” Animation by James Reitano and TFU Studios.
