August 23, 2012
Atlanta emcee Killer Mike gets an assist from Scar to deliver “Untitled” – another banger off the six-track EP “R.A.P. Music.” Here is the official music video for this joint, a dark piece directed by Benjamin Dickinson (dark enough that we thought it prudent to put a Not Safe For Work stamp on it, just in case). You can cop the “R.A.P. Music” EP via a link in an earlier post here.

A$AP Rocky takes the ‘Late Night’ stage to do “Goldie” live (see the official music video here) – backed by The Roots. Looks like he started a little tense… then got loose as he really got into the song. A hot collab session with The Roots will do that for you. Nice set!

August 23, 2012
Nas sat down with Fuse TV at Rock The Bells and talked about how an Aaron Hall served as partial inspiration for “Bye Baby” (we know the other part of inspiration – see prior post here – for the song), why he picked that song to do a video for, and how he doesn’t heed critics with respect to music-making.
R&B: Brandy – “Wildest Dreams”
August 23, 2012
Hot new joint from Ray J’s sister. Hahahaaa! Brandy’s still got it though. Amazing how she can still sing about being “surprised” that someone would care about her. Give Brandy’s “Wildest Dreams” a listen. Very worthwhile. The single will be available via iTunes August 28, 2012.
R&B/Soul: yU – “Dreams” feat. Danedra Rowell
August 23, 2012
In a departure from the boom bap we’ve come to expect, yU sets Danedra Rowell on lead vocals for “Dreams†– a rap-free melancholy melody on how we had bigger dreams when were younger… too young to fully understand them. Shout to Kevin Nottingham for the scoop on this gem.

JSWISS – “Daily Conversation” (Prod. by K-Hill)
August 23, 2012
OOOHHH! That boom bap to make ya neck snap! JSWISS, native New Yorker and current UNC-Chapel Hill student, has shared the stage with Asher Roth, Soul Khan, and Big K.R.I.T. Now, it’s time for some individual shine! And shine he does on “Daily Conversation” (produced by K-Hill) off the “Out of State Intuition 2: Leave Me A Loan” mixtape. This is the video for the single (directed by Joe Ades for PrimeTime Media & Entertainment).
In JSWISS’ own words: ‘[“Daily Conversation”] addresses everything I deal with in conversation with others or with myself from conforming to what’s popular, racial discrimination, and being seemingly the only rapper who doesn’t smoke weed.’

Lupe Fiasco – “B*tch Bad” (Video)
August 22, 2012
Lupe Fiasco drops a brand new video for for the controversial song “B*tch Bad”. I’m a fan of Lupe Fiasco because he’s talking about issues & doing things far too many artists in the mainstream are failing or just simply unwilling to address. If you haven’t heard the song already pay close attention to the visuals & the message. The song will appear on Lupe Fiasco’s next album entitled “Food & Liquor 2” slated to be released September 25. With all the songs with similar themes that Lupe leaked already for the project like “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)” & “Lamborghini Angels”, “Food & Liquor 2” is an appropriate title.

Comedy: Apple iPhone 5 Promo (Video)
August 22, 2012
For the record I’m an avid fan of Apple products & the iPhone, but this comedic take on the upcoming Apple iPhone 5 is hilarious! Although I’ve seen people diss Apple’s products (usually their competitors), the reality is their products are still far superior to everything else out there on the market. Apple also passed an insane record milestone of being the most valuable company of all-time with a value of over $600 Million Billion. As a corporation I do feel fair treatment of the Chinese workers at FoxConn who produce their products & affordability for consumers maybe be issues to seriously work on. Especially for those people who are truly “unhappy” because they are unable to afford an iPhone5. Shouts to the homie @djrastaroot on the hilarious clip…

SkyBlew – “Excuse My Lateness” (Video)
August 22, 2012
See what a little digging will get you? SkyBlew just dropped his new mixtape “Your Dreams is BLEW Reality.” And if you downloaded the NO DJ version from the BandCamp site, you probably noticed a plethora of prior releases. And maybe you listened to some prior-release tracks. Now, maybe you did not take the next step: Checking YouTube for music videos for those prior tracks! “Excuse My Lateness” (off the “Above the Stars is My Landing” mixtape) was released a good while ago; before SkyBlew got on our radar. Regardless of when it was released, the track is hot; and the video is fire! Check it out for yourself.

R&B/Soul: Vivian Green – Anything Out There (Video)
August 21, 2012
I’ve had this very dope song “Anything Out There” from Vivian Green on repeat in my itunes ever since I first heard it about a week ago. I’ve hit repeat on this joint several times over since then & now I’m anticipating more greatness from her new album ‘The Green Room’ which is slated to drop on September 25th. This new video makes the song even more special for me as a Philadelphia native that Vivian Green, who’s also from Philly, shot the clip in our hometown thus carrying that particular essence of what good soul music is about from the city of brotherly love. Philadelphia Freeway, soul singer Eric Roberson & a few other Philly notables also make cameos in the clip.
