‘Alchemist’ x ‘Oh No’ Spill The Beans About Themselves (Video)
April 22, 2015
Gangrene (comprised of Alchemist and Oh No) did a sit down with Fader for its ‘Everything You Need To Know About’ series. Gangrene, hella hard name. Alchemist and Oh No spoke, done work with and for some of Hip-Hop’s hardest; putting out some street-credible heat themselves. So… of course, you would expect that they grew up in Beverly Hills and have mastered Legend of Zelda video-gaming, right?
Wait, WHAT?!
Yeah, view even more of the duo getting it all out in the clear above.

Rick Ross – “Quintessential” feat. Snoop Dogg (Video)
April 22, 2015
Maybach Music. Wild and crazy but still chill. This is the visual for Rick Ross’ “Quintessential” single off his “Hood Billionaire” LP (out now). Featuring Snoop Dogg lending lyrical weight to the champagne and good smoke party. Gotta say the start is the funniest part: Pawn Stars’ Chumlee driving the hard bargain for blonde booty with Rozay trying to get that money out of her. Hilarious!

In My Father’s House (Trailer)
April 22, 2015
Chicago’s Che Smith, widely known as Grammy-winning artist and songwriter Rhymefest, spent the majority of his childhood without his father. “In My Father’s House” documents Rhymefest’s search for his father. He found him, but as the trailer above more than hints, what happens from that point is no fairy tale. A boy who suffered through youth knowing that a father he never really knew simply walked out on his mother and him, finds that upon walking back into his father’s life, he may have to be the more ‘parental’ of the two. Looks to be a stirring film; currently playing at Tribeca Film Festival.

April 21, 2015
2 Chainz is a self-described “casual smoker,†but when he’s presented with the opportunity to smoke out of the “Picasso of bongs†what do you think he’s going to do?
– GQ Magazine
This moth#$fu%$ing chandelier bong costs 10 thousand moth#$fu%$ing dollars? Yup. No moth#$fu%$ing joke. This episode of “Most Expensivest Shit” featuring 2 Chainz is definitely the bomb bong!

J. Cole – “Wet Dreamz” (Video)
April 21, 2015
J. Cole’s latest single & video for ‘Wet Dreamz’ is probably my favorite song from his latest album ‘2014 Forest Hills Drive.’ The beauty of the song is not just how it sounds sonically, but the honesty in the lyrics & storytelling. The video doesn’t disappoint either in the creative way J. Cole chose to tell his story. That ‘ol puppy love on some old ‘Lady & The Tramp’-type ish.

Just Blaze – “Inhuman Nature” (Instrumental)
April 21, 2015
Just Blaze! Incredible flip of Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature” (taking it in enough of a different direction to call it (“Inhuman Nature”). He left some notes that ought to get you into the right frame of mind for listening.
Had some fun. Something to ride down the FDR to on a late night with the top down, reflecting on life.. like Rocky in that one scene after Apollo died. Word.
