King Slik – “Paradise Pkwy” (Prod. By Nash B) [Video]
Here’s what I do folks… I link with folks as I make my way through life and music. Then depending on how strong they help me keep the bond, we stay up. I do not press folks, but if they hit me and share what they are up to from time to time, I take the time to check for it whenever possible. That’s it. But that is IMPORTANT to me because (1) it is humane treatment of an artist who baring her/his soul to AND (2) because I am a human trying to follow The Golden Rule to the best of my understanding (i.e. I’d want someone to take a moment and give a f**k about what I am trying to do, too) #SupportWhoSupportU #acKNOWLEDGEment
Plus, I often get a curbside look at the hottest thing coming up the street. Next up: The homie Nik aka King Slik! More about him after the jump, but check out this video and see if you see what I am seeing… a dude that could easily track the success of a young Wiz Khalifa (got the ‘it’ factor already, just needs proper spotlighting to highlight his shine)!

Watch Joe Budden ‘Pull Up’ On T-Pain (Episode 7) [Video]
Okay, so Joe Budden has become known for creating the content and moments online, for being at the center of things, that make viewers go ‘wooooow’ right? Think about him almost getting into a three-on-1 (plus their bodyguard) fracas for smooth walking off mid-interview on Migos (e.g. whosaidIgotleftoffBadandBougie… doitlookitlikeIgotleftoffBadandBougie). But this is not that. His ‘Pull Up’ series, according to Joe himself, is all about sitting down ONLY with folks HE gives a f**k about. This T-Pain episode, case in point, looks like a conversation that is the result of ‘pulling up’ on a longtime homie to catch up & give him a chance to get deeper in depth about things like moves he’s made (changing the game with autotune, putting out the ultimate “Boo’d Up” remix) and moves he’s about to make (rumors of dope music in his clip he is about to let off).
Good stuff. Watch!

Old school, taking it all the way back with the slight crackle in the beat. So nice. And so Detroit! Check out this previously unreleased heat from Phat Kat entitled “World Premiere.”

Juice Wrld | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #101 (Video)
No offense… Nah f**k that, ALL OFFENSE!
Bwaahahaa! Okay, Juice Wrld got bars. Count this as one Flex rightfully passed the mic to. Says he’s coming off the top of the head in this clip. Respek on his name if that’s truly true. But I’m digging it either way!
