Kendrick Lamar on Ice Cube’s Influence & Comparisons To Bob Dylan on ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ (Video)
September 18, 2013
It’s kinda of wild to see Kendrick Lamar on The Arsenio Hall Show because when the show was poppin’ back in the 90s Kendrick was probably just a toddler. It’s rather special to see Arsenio Hall’s return to late night television & one of his first guests just so happens to be a ‘g.o.o.d. kid’ from the ‘m.a.a.d. city’ of Compton California. Check out video of his performance on the show with Schoolboy Q after the jump below….

Tez McClain feat. Scarface – “Showtime” (Prod. By Focus…)
September 17, 2013
My homie Tez McClain gave me the honor to debut this collaboration with Scarface called “Showtime” a number of months ago on The Beatz & Lyrics Show with Jayforce. We didn’t get the go ahead at the time to post the song up on this site until everything behind-the-scenes was cleared properly, but now the day has come where we can let the world hear this banger drop free. When you have “Tez McClain”, “Scarface” & “Focus…” supplying the production you just know it was going to be nothing short of greatness. Be on the lookout for the southside Atlanta representer’s next project “Free Lunch: My Last Tape” in the very near future. Now press play…. it’s Showtime!

Boldy James – “Moochie†(Produced By Alchemist)
September 17, 2013
Now this sounds pretty dope! Boldy James’ “Moochie†is a cut overloaded with enough slang to make new dictionary entries like ‘twerk’ passe (we can only hope). Kind of appropriate that this is produced by Alchemist… Boldy is like an incarnation of his homie, Mobb Deep’s Prodigy (except he’s actually explaining his ‘dunn language’ throughout the song). James has his debut album “My 1st Chemistry Set” on the way (due out October 15, 2013), produced entirely by The Alchemist.
