Lil Kane – “High Than A Mutha” (Video)

Representing Austin Texas, Lil Kane drops a new video that was shot during the Bob Marley Festival 2012 down there in the great state of Texas. It was a fitting environment to shoot a video for a song called “High Than A Muthaf*cka” which is the first single from his upcoming mixtape project “Everyday Life Music”. Lil Kane does a fairly decent job over the Don Cannon produced Ludacris track “Everybody Hates Chris” easily making the song his own for people who may not readily recognize the beat.   This joint works, but please smoke responsibly…. annnnnnnnd 420

Studio Session: Pusha T & R&B Singer ‘The-Dream’ Speak On Their ‘Exodus 23:1’ Collaboration (Video)

It’s interesting in this MTV video Pusha T & The-Dream discuss everything about working together on this song, but the interviewer may have failed to ask Pusha T about who he’s talking about in this new ‘Exodus 23:1’ record. Yeah Yeah it doesn’t take much to figure out who he’s talking about already **COUGH** Drake **COUGH** but it would good to see an official response. Battles are good for hip hop as long as cats keep it all on the record & showcase their skills….

Pusha T – “Exodus 23:1”

While out at the Cannes Film Festival to support Kanye West’s new film ‘Cruel Summer’, Virginia based emcee Pusha T dropped this dope joint via his twitter that sounds pretty dope. Although he enlists R&B singer The-Dream on the hook this joint is STILL a ‘BEEF’ record.  Even if your ears fail to peep Biggie’s  ‘What’s Beef’ sample in the song, it’s evident from the ‘not too subliminal’ lyrics that Pusha T is dissin’ Drake in this joint. The song will appear on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation album.  Yeah it’s heating up to be a ‘Cruel Summer’ already…..

House Shoes – “Sweet” feat. Danny Brown

Now this is some straight up dopeness right here from Detroit DJ & producer House Shoes called “Sweet” featuring Detroit emcee Danny Brown. This is that hardcore hip hop right here & ironically there’s nothing ‘sweet’ about it at all from the subtle beat changes within the song to the mono sounding texture used on Danny Brown’s mic while ripping through his rhymes. The song appears on House Shoe’s new EP he just released called “The Time” on itunes but it the song will also appear on his first official album called “Let It Go” due June 19th.
