Snoop Dogg feat. Kanye West & John Legend – Eyez Closed
This leaked months ago sans the Snoop verse and was rumored to be a leftover from MBDTF. Well, that turned out to be fake, as this was actually a record for Snoops Doggumentary album, which drops next Tuesday. Here we have it tagless and featuring the Doggfather. Keep an open eye for the Snoop album…
Video: L.E.P. Bogus Boys x Freddie Gibbs – Kush & Leather Live @ SXSW
More heat from Fadia Kader, I Love Lola and The Smoking Section’s Perfect Attendance showcase last Friday down in Austin. Count and Moonie grabbed Gibbs from the green room (literally) to guest on their winner-of-a-collabo “Kush & Leather”. Somethings are just perfect together. RR
Shawnna – Big Booty Judy
Shawnna has been dropping freestyles via her Twitter page over the course of the last few months, and today she let go this new one entitled “Big Booty Judy”. Hey, it’s only right.
Sir Michael Rocks – Rocks Report SXSW Freestyle
Michael goes #22Bitches on this off-the-dome freestyle that was dropped by producer Tye Hill in celebration of SXSW (where The Cool Kids absolutely sent it up all weekend). This joint did not make The Rocks Report, but it’s very nice, nonetheless. These two (Sir Mike + Tye) have serious chemistry. Lookout for a blackout.
Video: Freddie Gibbs Interrupted @ SXSW by Erick Sermon
Gangsta Gibbs was closing out the Perfect Attendance Showcase at Light Bar on Friday afternoon, with a nice acapella, when out of nowhere Erick Sermon walks in and grabs the mic to plug his performance next door. I was a bit baffled as Erick wandered in solo and looked a little confused/lost. I don’t know,…
Lupe’s Lasers Celebration Sold Out, Fans Still Have Chance To Win Tix
A couple of days ago I incorrectly printed that Lupe Fiasco’s Lasers Chicago Celebration still had tickets for sale. Welp, that was wrong, as the event quickly sold out within a matter of hours. Oops. If you missed your chance to buy tickets, you still have an opportunity to attend the event (which is sure…
Video: Kanye West x Pusha T – Runaway Live @ SXSW
This shit was too nutty. SXSW is completely off the racks. Definitely going back next year. Kanye West, G.O.O.D. Music, Jay-Z. What more can I say?
Lupe Fiasco Announce Lasers Tour Dates
Mr. Jaco announced his Spring tour dates for Lasers over at his blog this morning. You don’t see Chicago on the list because, as you know, Lupe hits his hometown this Saturday (March 26th) for the official Lasers release party/show/event. I’d heard the show was already sold out, but it appears there are still tix…
