Rhythm Roulette With Carnage (Video)
Maaaaan… kinda feel like somehow Carnage got spotted a huge advantage with the records he blind-picked. How could he not come up with something with wax picks that powerful?? Watch.
“Vinyl & guacamole!†That’s how Carnage gets his creative juices flowing. Born and raised in Guatemala, Carnage grew up fascinated with producers like DJ Khaled and DJ Drama. He would go on to become a major player in the fusion of EDM sounds with vocals by Hip-Hop artists like Lil Uzi Vert and Young Thug. But don’t get it twisted—Carnage can chop samples too, as he demonstrated when he accepted MASS APPEAL’s Rhythm Roulette challenge. Working with randomly selected albums by The Jacksons, Rick James, and Gladys Knight & The Pips, he got down to work chopping and cooking, pitching and reversing. Carnage even hopped into the vocal booth to sprinkle some of his own special hot sauce. Check out the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette right now.

Laady J – “Million Dollar” (Prod. By Blasian Beats) [Video]
Alright, I’ll admit it before you do. I watched for the Eye Candy appeal… at first. But Laaady J does have flow. I can admit that, too. At least as much as Cardi. And neither is bad on the eyes, so bonus *wink*
Plus… read the bio after the jump and check her pedigree, fam. You’re welcome!

Chris Rivers – “You The Man” (Freestyle)
How could I be a phony? I only act how I feel…
Yeah. Rivers rapping that real AND letting y’all know how he feels. Get ready to listen again. The rhyme is sweet and short. Run it back ’nuff times to get what dude is saying.
Chris is back this week with another freestyle this time over Kanye’s “ Everything I Am†which Chris clearly feels everything he is, is the Man. On “You The Man†Chris shows the gradual transcendence from that boy to the man in his own eyes facing his own internal obstacles which ultimately became the reasons for his greatness.

NatStar – “Greatness”
What do you want, and what are you willing to do? We’re talking about getting to “Greatness” people. Rather, the homie NatStar is. Trying to shift the paradigm, the conversation, in Hip-Hop and beyond. This is a different kind of grind dude is talking about here. Count how many times he talks about making bucks or buying out the bar or bling. Nada. Is that what you really want? Naaah, you want GREATNESS!
(More about NatStar after the jump.)

Hahaa! Yooooo, Tiffany Haddish came right out and right after Black Thought for his smooth #BeardGame because it was shimmery (that’s past shining y’all). Even though she is not rocking the ‘white $4000 dress’ she always talks up, this peach outfit is VERY complementary for that body in this clip (sexy… DAMN)!

Marvin “Krondon†Jones III Speaks On Starring In ‘Black Lightning’ And His Rap Career (Video)
Been really into the latest addition to The CW’s #DareToDefy lineup, “Black Lightning.” Dope from all angles. And a word on casting: When ‘Scooter’ from “Living Single” (shout to the homie @65phenom aka BigDee for that non-trivial bit of TV trivia) is the hero… AND your main bad guy is KRNDN aka Krondon (of Strong Arm Steady)… AND you have Salim Akil and Mara Brock Akil at the helm… your show is Black af and lit as ‘Lightning!’
*needle scratches record*
But waaait. Krondon is on TV as the villain?? Doooope! Watch him speak on that and other stuff in this interview.
Chris Rivers – “Broken Promises” feat. Surace
Chris Rivers with another banger! Kinda lovey-dovey with the lover’s lament in the rhyme but in the dopest way.
If I don’t love myself, then I can never love you.
And I ain’t loved myself since I loved you.
Woooooo! Deep truth! Press play.

Monty C. Benjamin – “Lena James” feat. Ciarra Je’ x Love Keyyz
Okay, Monty C. Benjamin. You’re on. This “Lena James” (featuring Ciarra Je’ & Love Keyyz) just might make me catch a ‘Different World’ re-run or three tonight.
Inspired by character Lena James (From 90’s sitcom, A Different World) who was a classy, yet street-smart woman who came from a poverty-stricken area and wanted better for herself. The song is written from her Ex-boyfriend perspective, Piccolo (Played By Tupac Shakur) and the desperate attempts to get her back. Upbeat, yet melancholy in tone, this song showcases Monty’s storytelling skills as well as his knack for coming up with catchy cadences.

Jim Carrey Stars In The Darkest Movie Of His Career To Date (Trailer)
Wow. “Dark Crimes” for real. Heavy on the recognizable faces, but somehow casting does not diminish the story. Jim Carrey is not being uber-silly or uber-philosophical… he threw himself into this role and told this story. At least, that is what I am getting from this stunning trailer.
