Fame f/ Paypa – Pride
Produced By Evan Brown The interludes on this are good. Fame and Paypa collide to talk about “Pride” and change. Dope record if you ask me.
Video: EMP DASME f/ Assata Jones & TalentedAsKB – Ride Around (Remix)
Directed by Danielle Alston and Sofia Kerpan EMP drops the visual for “Ride Around (Remix)” which features Assata Jones and Talented AsKB. The beat is the same as Dreezy an Dollaz’ “Break A Band,” but I’m not sure as to who had it first. Never mind that, though, just ride around to this one.
Video: GLC f/ Nico Segal – My Downfall

Kami de Chukwu – Anna Nicole Smith
SaveMoney’s Kami de Chukwu is a problem on the mic and he proves that once again with his latest drop, “Anna Nicole Smith”. Kami takes a Flying Lotus production and crafts a song strictly for — well, click play and find out. R.I.P. to Anna and this track. Expect the video for this one to…
Saba – Cursive
Produced by IKON. For the second release from The Prerequisite, AEMMP Records teams up with rising emcee Saba. I’ve never really been a fan of cursive, but I can dig this one.
R. Kelly Set To Headline Bonnaroo 2013

The recently announced lineup for Boonaroo also features Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Kendrick Lamar and plenty more. The…
