Nick Fraser Speaks On The Good & Bad That Came From His “Why You Always Lyin” Going Viral (Video)

Remember that “Why You Always Lyin” that Nick Fraser went viral with? I remember thinking: “I wonder if kids listening/watching this even know who RL and Next are?” Ha!

Remixing Next’s “Too Close” on Vine got him more than he bargained for.

Should we add a category for Internet celebrities called ‘ceWEBrity’ (like Tosh.0 does on Comedy Central)?

Royce Da 5’9 – “Caterpillar” ft. King Green x Eminem (Video)

Royce Da 5’9 just dropped that “PRhyme 2” with DJ Premier, and now he is working another project out here. Yup.

T’Challa And Zuri Speak On Memories Of King T’Chaka In This Deleted Scene From “Black Panther” (Video)

Lookit. No bullsh!t. For real. The deleted scenes are almost like trailers; as looking at what did NOT make the final cut for “Black Panther” is almost as enticing as wanting to see what did! Check out this scene focused on T’challa the rising ruler of Wakanda.

And remember: This is what they didn’t include in the film. No wonder the movie was so dope #WakandaForever

Childish Gambino – “This Is America” (Video)

If ever there was a video of ‘Donald Glover being Donald Glover‘… this Childish Gambino jawn is it. Shocking, at least the first time watching it is, in the best way. Watching it is an overall engaging and ultimately enjoyable experience; though you will cock your head to the side and scrunch your face a couple of times until you ‘get it.’

Eljay Williams Presents “Pathways” (Trailer)

Put the soundtrack on here a while back. Now we post more movement on Williams movie project. Peep the “Pathways” trailer.

Concert promoter Sean Pathways is searching for answers to his failures while carrying the pressures of everyone’s chance at success. He attempts to balance a stagnant career and relationships with his music producing girlfriend (Beautiful) and his ex-girlfriend Ann. Ann is the leader of an all-female rap group he is promoting and Beautiful, under Sean’s influence, produces the group. He finds himself wanting and expecting too much from every aspect of his life and something has got to give.

The film is loosely based on the Independent Hip Hop Scene in Atlanta and features many of the artists, promoters, DJs, and producers that thrive there. The look, sound and feel of the film is directly influenced by Eljay’s years of covering the scene for his documentary series The Stand. The film’s soundtrack, which is dominated by Atlanta’s indie artists, authenticates the Emmy Nominated/Telly Award Winning Producer/Director’s vision.
