Hieroglyphics – “Gun Fever” (Video)
May 3, 2013
Heiroglyphics fans now have more reasons to rep the dot-dot-dot-dash (the Hiero ‘Third Eye’ logo)… “Gun Fever” and the video… relevance (re: gun control debate) AND dopenesss (that’s right, #with3sss)! Nice video by their Hiero Crew homie Casual. “Gun Fever” by Hieroglyphics (produced by Gully Duckets) is off the upcoming project “The Kitchen.”
Watch. Read. Think. Form your own opinion. Hiero is sharing facets of theirs from their platform…as is their right.

J. Cole – “Cole Summer”
May 1, 2013
Listen to this twice (suggestion). The lyrics go deep! J. Cole says this joint is NOT a preview. This is the real deal… He is putting it all on the line in the months leading up to his next release. And apparently, if this next album flops… it’s back to the post office for both him AND his mom! Yeah, he said that *ish. Listen! This “Cole Summer” track is probably NOT slated for Cole’s LP “Born Sinner” (due out June 25, 2013)… if you take Vibe Magazine’s word for it.
