Ryan Leslie – “The Wonderful Ones”
Only the best for R Les aka the man who’s doing it all on this one: Making the beat, writing the lyrics, singing the hook, directing the visuals… Think he had a hand in picking the Honey Daniela Braga as his sexy leading lady? Damn right you right. Check out “The Wonderful Ones” off the “MZRT” album (out now).
Royce Da 5’9 – “Tabernacle†(Prod. By S1) [Video]
There is not ONE person who heard that “Tabernacle” jawn (off the forthcoming “Layers” LP) from Royce Da 5’9 (that we posted on here days ago) that doubted for even a second that there’d be a music video for it. Well, here it is. Dope as you knew it would be.
Got An Apple Watch? Then You Can ‘Summon’ A Tesla Car Like Michael Knight Calls KITT (Video)
Once again, a nerdgasmic advance in real-world technology. Megabucks real-life Tony Starks aka Elon Musk, and his Tesla car brand, are showing us something really, really COOL! Remember how the car (KITT) on the Knight Rider TV show used to come when Michael Knight (played by David Hasselhoff) called him on his super-spy type watch? Yeah, that’s the Tesla Summon feature.
Dope, right? Oh, and the car in the clip above… it drives itself, too!
Eye Candy: Daphne Joy (Video)
Seeing the YouTube headline, an average Honey Hunter (like that title? just made it up) might dismiss the vid like, “How you gonna be a Big Booty Milf, Supermodel & Hip Hop Video Vixen all at the same damn time??
Heh heh. Let me get this one, baby. You do it like Daphne Joy does it…HATER! Just look at this collage of cuteness on the next next level. So deliciously sexy this Eye Candy is. You get several bites at this apple-bottomed babe in the above video montage. Here’s to hoping we see a behind the scenes video on her soon. But for now, I know you’re gonna dig this… And her Instagram is so f#cking HOT you will f#cking cuss seeing how f#cking fine Daphne is.

‘Gina’ Tells Us The Truth: ‘Tommy’ Really Did Have A Job! (Video)
Did you ever wonder if Tommy Ford’s character (you know, Tommy on the TV show Martin) actually had a job? Well… according to Tisha Campbell (Gina on the show)… the answer is YES! Hear/see her spill the beans above in the video clip.
So, Tisha says so. Is that enough? How about if Tommy himself told you? Would that do? Well, hit the jump then (with your ol’ skeptical self)! And while you’re there, let’s have one more long belly laugh at the whole gang of ‘Tommy ain’t got no job maaaaan’ snippets down there, too.
Enjoy!
J-Zone – “Go Back To Sellin’ Weedâ€
J-Zone premiered the first single, “Go To Back To Sellin’ Weed,â€Â from his “Fish-n-Grits” LP (due out April 1, 2016). J-Zone visits all the stops of an artistic and musical journey that spans well over two decades. The New York native uses his rap time to pick fights with the delusional state of the music industry, gentrification, the good and bad of nostalgia, police brutality, political correctness and Hip-Hop’s generational conflicts, but never without his signature brands of humor and sarcasm intact.
It’s 2016, you still looking for a deal, you gotta eat, so do craftsmen who do this sh!t for real.â€Â

Angela Bassett Gives Answers To Your Google Searches (Video)
Folks hit the Google when they want answers…about Angela Bassett. Imagine if folks could pose their web searches in the form of questions to Angela herself. You could do that OR… just click play above and watch as she answers some of those Googles.
(Heh heh… you heard her say she went ‘raw’ right? And she likes bacon. There’s a really naughty joke on all that just waiting on her if she ever falls through the spot. Just jokes, but so serious. Angela is so damn sexy!)
Bas – “Night Job” feat J. Cole (Prod. By Cedric Brown x K-Quick x Ron Gilmore) [Video]
What’chu know about that Bas album “Too High To Riot” hunh? It’s actually okay if you answer, “Not a lot,” because we got you covered with the video for “Night Job” (featuring J. Cole) above. And we got the album order link you will feel compelled to hit when the duo is done!
Joey Bada$$ – “Brooklyn’s Own” (Prod. By Statik Selektah)
Rest in Peace to the Notorious BIG!
& BIG UPS 2 BROOKLYN HOME OF THE REALEST!!!
– Pro Era
Man, do you realize March 9th’s passing made it 19 years since Biggie’s passing? You probably did, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth saying it again and again. And for the real Hip-Hop fiends, this Joey Bad banger “Brooklyn’s Own” (producer by Statik Selektah), dropped in honor of the fallen emcee, is worth playing…again and again!
Kardinal Offishall – “Kardi And Bullsh!t” feat. DJ Starting From Scratch
Yeaaaahhh! Kardinal Offishall went slap the f#ck off on this track of Biggie runs. R.I.P. B.I.G. – we wholeheartedly agree Kardi O. Respect for this dopeness.
BIG is the greatest rapper who ever lived. He is also of Jamaican lineage. We did this freestyle in the energy of when we saw the footage of him 17 years old on the block just spitting some bars. The ultimate expression of Hip-Hop – BEATS AND RHYMES.

eLZhi – “Two 16’s†(Prod. By Karriem Riggins)
Who knew the answer would be this simple? Andre 3000 said, Sixteen ain’t enough, so eLZhi hit us with “Two 16’s†(produced by Karriem Riggins)…HARD! Listen above and soak in the dope. You can pre-order “Lead Poison” (LP) and get the single download today; or just dig the single and wait. Up to you.
(That cover art though. Clean!)

Chaz: In Parts (Mini-Documentary)
“Oh yo, this dude looks like Pharrell!”
I got that every day.
– Toro y Moi
Watch this look-back, look-within short documentary film about Chaz Bundick (aka the South Carolina-born producer professionally known as Toro y Moi).
Technology: Cosmo Meet Spot…The Robot ‘Dog’ (Video)
Man made the tech sort of mimicking dog movement, obviously; but how would a dog react? Well… let’s just say it’ll take more work to fool a real dog. Spot, Boston Dynamics’ 160-pound quadruped robot, was built for navigating uneven terrain. The doggieness was a side-benefit. In the video above, see venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson’s video of actual dog Cosmo playing with Spot. Cosmo belongs to Andy Rubin, co-founder of Android.
Eye Candy: Cyn Santana (Video)
Cyn Santana … mm mm mm! Why the need to bill her as a ‘Big Booty Lesbian Stripper’ though? Think that’s gonna stop a horndog like me from drooling?
(Oh, by the way, I am a special breed of horndog… the kind that DROOLS whenever he sees apple bottoms, Honeyz and Eye Candy!)
Only thing though: This is yet another video montage. Of course, fine is fine; and Cyn Santana is fine defined. But will somebody shoot a HOT behind-the-scenes pro photo-shoot video already? Pleeease?

Rogue Dynamo – “Roulette” (Video)
Watch @RogueDynamo – “Roulette” on YouTube – https://t.co/LyG9VEAaxT #New #Video! pic.twitter.com/0vRfAv5vRJ
— Rogue Dynamo (@RogueDynamo) March 13, 2016
Oh yes. We did watch. And now it’s up here. Approved. Stand up Atlanta (you’ve got another winner)!
Sure, Rogue Dynamo has the look. But consider that just a cover page to make you pick up the book. Open it (press play) and get open with the content. And for her to even conceive of beautiful haunting visuals inspired by psychological thriller, Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” as her presentation for “Roulette” … RAW! Don’t push. She’s close to the edge. Edgy.
Every man has his price and every person has his limit.
That play button. Hit it. Dig it! And we got the music link to her “Roses And Karma” EP below. Get it (when you’re ready).
Johnny Gill – “This One’s For Me And You” feat. New Edition (Video)
We solemnly swear, before all that was and is right with REAL R&B, this video will make you smile. Go get your boo thang and click play. This one is for… c’mon… you see the title.
There’s a resurgence of great established and new R&B artists and songs happening. It’s just a matter of us coming together to keep pushing the boundaries; to be respected and get back to a place where people will listen and understand that R&B should not be at the bottom of the totem pole.
– Johnny Gill
BAM! They ain’t ready, Johnny. But glad y’all hit ’em with it anyway! Grown and sexy in the grand tradition of Ronald Isley, Luther Vandross, Gerald Levert… New Edition… Johnny Gill. This will be on Gill’s forthcoming LP, “Game Changer.”
Hopsin – “Ill Mind Of Hopsin 8” (Video)
Take ’em to court then! Maybe it’s an elaborate ruse or something, but this… this ish roight heeeere ninjaaaa… be it real or ‘real slick marketing’… There can be no hug-it-out reconciliation coming any time soon. Hopsin took it too far. It’s gonna take NWA vs. Ice Cube cool-down time for Funk Volume head honcho Dame Ritter and Hop to to find a new bridge to cross. Hop dropped this “Ill Mind Of Hopsin 8” video and burned this bridge AND both toll booths the f#ck down. ‘Shots fired’ is such an understatement! Could a song with such an understated title come with this much heat?? YES! In the tradition of prior “Ill Mind Of Hopsin” releases (or anything Hop drops), this 8th one goes HARD to the BODY!
Listen to that chopped-screwed sermonette at the end… Is that… Joel Osteen on there? I think it is. Check this out here then listen again. Wowwwww.
(Actually, I know it is. Hopsin spills that and ALL the facts and haps on what happened with him and Funk Volume and what’s next and more – a three-part interview!)

Yuna – “Places To Go†(Prod. By DJ Premier) [Video]
From her “Chapters” album Yuna’s dropping off the nice visuals for “Places To Go.†With Preemo on production? Yes indeed. Enjoyable every which-a-way. Press play above.

Homeboy Sandman – “Life Support†(Prod. By Hugo LX) [Video]
Homeboy Sandman in the sand, man. This video for “Life Support” (producer by Hugo LX) already did the work for us. Sand’s ethereal with the rhyme content (as usual), ultimate chill. At the same time, at the essence, “If I stop making art then I’ll die,” is ultimate dopeness. Rock with this…easy.
