Blade Runner 2049 (Teaser Trailer)
Okay, there is enough time to watch the original “Blade Runner” (with Harrison Ford) starting now… because October 6, 2017, the story continues.
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos.

“Blade Runner 2049” also stars Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, with Dave Bautista and Jared Leto.
French Montana x DJ Clue – “Lockjaw” feat. Kodak Black x Jeezy x Rick Ross x DJ Khaled
Here we go… about to ‘bite downnnn’ again. Hahaaa! That “Lockjaw” from earlier this year from French Montana (featuring Kodak Black) was an admitted guilty pleasure. Maybe you were with it. You probably got with it by the third spin. This Montana x DJ Clue remix featuring Jeezy, Rozay, and DJ Khaled though… won’t take that long at all! Stream it below. Let’s go!

Westside Gunn – “Brains Flew By” (Prod. By Mil) [Video]
Damn. A lot of times in real Hip-Hop the dope is RAW and uncut. Some grindhouse end of the movie music by Mil topped off by Westside Gunn aiming at your top with horrorcore lyrics and dooh-dooh-dooh shots for overdubs peppered over the track for effect. Let the brains blow! Straight gory. Above: Visuals for Gunn’s first leak off “Riots On Fashion Avenue” (due out February 10, 2017).
Go In-Depth With ‘Common’ and ‘Serena Williams’ On ESPN’s “The Undefeated” (Video)
Quick! When you conjure up a visual of a dude sitting down to talk to his ex, what do you think? Cringeworthy viewing, right? Well, nah. Kind of a trick question if you aren’t told that it’s the renaissance revolutionary cool rapper Common. And his ex? Oh that’s super sexy tennis star Serena Williams. Much better imagery in your mind now, of course.
On this ESPN’s The Undefeated: In-Depth… Serena and Common… speaking on fame, sports, and race and gender issues. Start above and continue after the jump.
Troy Ave – “Appreciate Me” (Video)
One of my favorite songs from Troy Ave gets a video. “Appreciate Me” is one of several bangers off this year’s late summer plate “Roland Collins” (linked below).
Eye Candy: Miss Issy (Dance Compilation) [Video]

2 Chainz Rocks An Ugly A$$ Christmas Sweater, With $90K Of Diamonds & Gold On It, On ‘The Most Expensivest Sh*t’ (Video)
Man… RIP Craig Sager. If only he and 2 Chainz had had a photo opp for this. Sager in one of his trademark outlandish courtside outfits; 2 Chainz in something like this ‘Most Expensivest Sh*t’…
To get into the holiday spirit 2 Chainz and his jeweler, Joe Avianne of Avianne & Co, designed and created the Most Expensivest ugly Christmas sweater ever. The sweater was auctioned off by 2 Chainz, and the proceeds were given to the TRU Foundation.
Spoiler alert: The sweater… NOT that ugly.

Jabee – “Tried So Hard” (Prod. By Phen) [Video]
Found another Jewel… Run The video above, the hit the jump for more on Jabee to truly get what I mean. They’re out here. Just gotta dig for ’em (or know someone with the hookup… I got ya). And for this one, you’re welcome!
The always real Jabee brings a powerful performance to his track “Tried So Hard” Phen (of Jivin Scientists). The soulful vocal sample and the vulnerability of his lyrics are emphasized by the haunting visuals of a man torn to pieces by the very people he craves to please.
Another amazing track and video from his latest album “Black Future” (out now).

The World’s First Male Sex Doll (Video)
Ooookay. VICE’s Karley Sciortino is taking girls “playing with dolls” to a whole other level! Getting mighty cozy with the concept in this documentary episode exploring the making of male sex dolls for women.
Because, you know, gender equality.
(Hahaa! Karley, though. Got an undeniable sexy about her, right? Just saying, she probably does not need to go the doll route. Surely there is a real ‘plaything’ out here that will gladly play with her… Errr… Just watch.)
Black Gandhiii – “Views From The Death Star” (Prod. By John The Third)
This “Views From The Death Star” (prodduced by John The Third) is some of that off-center ‘ish that will catch my ear flying around in the Soundcloud. Check out New Orleans’ own Black Gandhiii. Not much online in the way of background/info on the artist. Self-described as…
A kid with an open mind. Who’s struggle defines him, also allowing him to create great music. Telling his story and the truth about life. Follow the movement and stay tuned…
So, there’s that. Also, Black Gandhiii is down with Lamaj Records out of Houston, Texas (USA).

The Birth of Saké (Documentary)
Incredible! This documentary is about a tradition, an art, craftsmanship, a lifestyle, a family business, a journey of self-discovery and appreciation and so much more brought to us by Japanese-American documentarian Erik Shirai. Turns out that Saké is waaaay more than fancy rice wine. The story’s telling – in “The Birth of Saké” – does involve a lot of cups of it though. The best!
Check out the trailer above. Catch it on Netflix. More on the documentary at NBC News online.
General Steele Speaks On Meeting Phife Dawg’s Mom, “Building Bridges” And More (Video)
Lots of artists, Indie or major, would feel some kind of way if a strong LP (one capable of sapping sales) was to drop the same day theirs did. However, General Steele is not like many artists. His view of A Tribe Called Quest, in light of the competing release, is one of respect, near hero-worship. Dude is mingling, feeling the great energy on site, and bumping into Phife’s mom… without even realizing!
(Also spoke on Sean Price’s (RIP) contribution to “Building Bridges.” Hit the link below for the full story.
