Third video from Kendrick off Section.80 and it’s the complete opposite on the greatness scale of Hiii PoWer. This seems like the lowest budget video. Still a great song though, looking forward to what he does with Rigamortus next.

Any Little Brother fans out there? Hearing Phonte and 9th Wonder on a track again is pretty dope. This is the first track released off of Phonte’s upcoming solo album, Charity Starts At Home and features Elzhi. Don’t sleep on this, I got a really good feeling about this album, which drops 9/27.

Caught Casey Veggies, Schoolboy Q, and Kendrick Lamar at The Music Box last Friday — second time I’ve got to see him but first time solo w/o the rest of Black Hippy. What a night. Dream Urban should’ve given Kendrick a trojan before he fucked our minds. A historic night for hip-hop and the West Coast. The Music Box has the best sound system I’ve heard from a venue that size, I literally was knocked back at every bass kick. I kinda want to catch even average artists in the future there just for the system. Kendrick played all the hits, brought out Snoop, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Game, and Big Sean came out and played “I Do It.” The crowd kept murmuring as they looked up to see Snoop and Dre sitting up on the balcony next to each other. The show ended with an emotional moment between everyone on stage and a metaphorical passing of the torch from Game and Snoop (who the fuck gave Game the torch ?) and some moisture from Kendrick… that went straight into Hii PoWeR. I’m struggling to put how crazy this show was into words, watch this video to understand what I’m trying to say:

To top it off I turned 21 at midnight and afterwards got to say whatup to Ab-Soul, Talib, and got in a pic with Kendrick. Yes.

New video from Warm Brew. Seeing that tequila aka the white man’s roofie made me a little sick. This track literally is summer, off their FreEP.

Wale dropped The Eleven One Eleven Theory a couple days ago, the precursor to his upcoming album Ambition. Wale is the only man who seems to be working as hard as Curren$y (scratch that, I’m pretty sure Curren$y’s put out 6 tapes since Weekend at Burnie’s). I haven’t really given Wale a listen since he signed with Maybach Music Group; I was wet on 100 Miles and Running when I first heard it a couple years ago but his style started to get played out. After a while the metaphors and wordplay seemed forced. Wale gets really lyrical with this tape though, beginning with a pretty sick spoken word and not letting up from there. I’m still unsure about his ability to make a commercially viable album, but if he keeps making music like this I’ll keep appreciating.

“I’m not saying I’m gonna change the world, but I guarantee I will spark the brain that will change the world.”

“I got more haters and naysayers than 8 Lakers in Boston, so I happen to fill Jacksons along the way with this talkin'”

As promised here’s the first single and accompanying video off of Mac Miller‘s debut album Blue Slide Park. This song’s got hard hitting bass like a dubstep song and gets psychedelic halfway through. Way different than shit he’s done before in a good way. His buzz keeps building… I really think he won’t disappoint with the album despite the expectations. Even Donald Trump approves.

The homie’s been telling me about Epic for a minute now, having caught him at the Dunk Exchange opening for Pusha T and recently opening up for Dom Kennedy at the Glasshouse. I just got to listening his latest track “Call It How I See It” yesterday and now I understand the hype. The track’s produced by 23 year old Hit-Boy, the latest addition to G.O.O.D. Music. He’s also the man behind the berserk “Niggas in Paris” off Watch the Throne. This track’s got some dope trumpets blaring in the back while Epic impresses from the get-go. He reminds me of Casey Veggies a little, but more lyrical and with a cleaner flow. And apparently can get a crowd live which is essential for any aspiring rapper. His next project, Third Shift EP comes out September 5th.
