Directed by VLKvisuals. Produced by BRENTRAMBO. I’ll start by saying this: I love this song. Between the video (which features a cig smoking T-Rex), the insanely catchy hook and the BRENTRAMBO beat — this record is a hit. These are my thoughts and opinions, so respect them as such. Been playing this one pretty consistently,…
Directed by APJ Films Yes, I’m aware that yesterday was Mother’s Day. But ’round these parts we celebrate Mother’s Day everyday — as does Phor — who drops off his latest video, “Proud.” He’s all about making his Mama proud, and I couldn’t agree more. That’s who and what we do it for, no? Watch…
New Chance and Kaytranada? Yes, please. I’ve gone on record saying “All Night” is my favorite record from Coloring Book, and today the duo return with their recent collab “And They Say,” which Kay played on during his mix on OTHERtone Radio on Beats 1. Is this a finished version? Sounds like it, but this…
Congrats are in order to The ISM, as yesterday GLC unveiled the first-documented ‘Welcome To Englewood’ sign in his native neighborhood. But this isn’t just a sign — it’s a sign that GLC himself designed. It must be the ultimate honor to design such a monument for the neighborhood that birthed you, and yesterday GLC…
Directed by Jerry Production Payroll Giovanni and crew take their talents to Miami for this great new video for the third edition of Pay’s “Hustle Muzik” series. I’m a staunch supporter of the “Hustle Muzik” series, and I think the video for part three definitely takes it over the top. It’s very well done. I’m…
If you’ve been paying attention to either Boi Jeanius or Mic Terror’s timeline over the past few months, you’ve noticed a freestyle series they’ve been doing called #FuckEmUpFridays, where they casually emcee and DJ while busting ass over some of your favorite instrumentals. Rhyming, cutting — you know, real hip-hop shit. Light work. Today, they’ve…
It’s been a long time coming, and yesterday it came rather unexpectedly. Yes, Sir The Baptist’s official Atlantic Records debut, Saint or Sinner, is here. This album drops on the heels of the announcement that he’s dating cultural legend Brandy, and a recent cosign from Stevie Wonder. Major things are happening for Sir right now,…
I’ve been trying to hold back my enthusiasm for this one, but today we can now celebrate its existence. It’s here. Two Detroit dons join forces for a collaborative album: PAyface. Arguably the rawest emcee in Detroit and arguably the rawest producer in Detroit, have decided to put out a full length and the timing…
I woke and saw some sites posting that Lupe had dropped a new single titled “Coulda Been.” But immediately upon pressing play I recognized it as one of the great Lupe leaks from close to a decade ago. I know FSD was responsible for a slew of those (sorry Lu!), but we had no hand…
Chicago R&B staple and star in the making, Josh K, just caught a leak of his new single “Basic.” Evidence that the movement is moving. Don’t be basic, stream “Basic” below.
