BIGCRAZ313 – “Kush Forever” (Prod. By Tony Factory)
Found some BIGCRAZ313 on my wall to keep us warm for the coming Fall. Three guesses at what the homie turns to to light his fire for the furnace. Um, hello, “Kush Forever!”
Please tell me you got that. Well, either way, you can get (stream) this AND the whole “Happy Dilla Day 2.0” EP (with features from his LWX brethren – BoneBreaker Jones and super-producer Tony Factory and more).

Tobe Nwigwe – “HËÂT RŌČK.” (The Originals) [Video]

H.E.R. – “I Used to Know Her: The Prelude” (EP)
It’s funny how H.E.R. put out an EP after H.E.R. LP situation… Well, not ‘funny’ so much… just heard the first track of this set following in the footprints of “Lost Ones” by Lauryn Hill (even calling it “Lost Souls”) and felt the line flip was appropriate. Maybe? Maybe not? Ha!
Either way, don’t stop at that song. Stream all of “I Used to Know Her: The Prelude” for the FREE.99!
How Important Is Raekwon’s “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” To Pusha T? Follow Him To ‘Shaolin’ And See (Video)
Makes sense. Purple being the color of royalty, Raekwon’s ‘Purple Tape’ was among the king-level offerings of Hip-Hop’s Golden Era. It influenced Pusha T. No doubt it influenced Push’s latest project “Daytona.” He says so above. Check out the clip and get the how’s and why’s.
You heard the Earth shake a bit when Clipse dropped its ‘Lord Willin” album back in 2002, didn’t ya? It was a big one, and the work Pusha T and No Malice did with Pharrell Williams is gonna last a couple lifetimes. So’s the strong stuff the Bronx-born, Virginia-raised MC has made on his own – ever since ‘My Name Is My Name’ arrived under the GOOD Music banner, the company that King Push is now the president of. In May he dropped his latest disc, DAYTONA, a collab with his business partner and creative brother, Kanye West. The pair worked on it in Wyoming, and as you might expect, Ye had a unique production process. In our exclusive interview, we take Pusha T to Staten Island to get his POV on a key influence, Raekwon’s ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…’ See what he says about Shaolin culture, ‘The Purple Tape’ and how the classics shaped the feel of the tracks on ‘DAYTONA.’

King Slik – “Paradise Pkwy” (Prod. By Nash B) [Video]
Here’s what I do folks… I link with folks as I make my way through life and music. Then depending on how strong they help me keep the bond, we stay up. I do not press folks, but if they hit me and share what they are up to from time to time, I take the time to check for it whenever possible. That’s it. But that is IMPORTANT to me because (1) it is humane treatment of an artist who baring her/his soul to AND (2) because I am a human trying to follow The Golden Rule to the best of my understanding (i.e. I’d want someone to take a moment and give a f**k about what I am trying to do, too) #SupportWhoSupportU #acKNOWLEDGEment
Plus, I often get a curbside look at the hottest thing coming up the street. Next up: The homie Nik aka King Slik! More about him after the jump, but check out this video and see if you see what I am seeing… a dude that could easily track the success of a young Wiz Khalifa (got the ‘it’ factor already, just needs proper spotlighting to highlight his shine)!

Got a visual off “The Marina” (EP), which you can stream FREE here, with Curren$y and producer Harry Fraud featuring Action Bronson. This is for “Scarab 38.”
Roc Marciano – “Warm Hennessy” (EP)
Roc’s project “Warm Hennessy” is right there at the intersection of album, compilation/mixtape, and EP… But since he calls it an EP on Bandcamp… an EP it is. Plus, good Hip-Hop it is.
Milez Grimez – “Truth Serum” feat. Block McCloud (Prod. By Bombdrop)
Came across this aptly named joint called “Truth Serum” by Milez Grimez (featuring Block McCloud). Efforts like this is why I stay checking for what’s hot in the underground. That’s where the HEAT is, son. LAVA!
Found a bio on Facebook for Grimez. Hit the jump for more info on the artist.

Drink Champs: Pusha T (Video)
Current online speak would be that we ‘get the tea’ from Push in this sit-down… but ain’t no tea on the table man. None! Good talk with G.O.O.D. Music’s main man (not named Ye at least).
Pusha shares some of his inspiration behind DAYTONA, working in Wyoming with Kanye, how beef started with Lil Wayne, exchanging disses with Drake, J. Prince’s comments, and more.

Pusha T – “If You Know You Know” (Video)
You know the grind mode motto: Keep it pushing. Well, who better to know so and do so than Pusha T? Simply put, “If You Know You Know,” and Push knows. Check out his latest off “Daytona.”

Black Thought Says “You Can’t Be Top 5 If You Don’t Write” (Video)
How effortlessly does Tariq move from topic to topic to freestyle on air? A natural!
Black Thought passed through following the release of his latest project Streams Of Thought, Vol. 1.
He spoke about the rap beef, whether he really dissed Diddy and Biggie back in the day, Kanye West, how he prepares for his freestyles, and even spits a new one for Ebro In The Morning.

Great insights in this, plus SKILLS!

Pusha T Has ‘A Story To Tell’… On How Beef With Drake Got Started (Video)
So let’s get into it: What made Pusha T go at Drake to start this whole beef thing? Funk Flex gets the 4-1 on that (and more) in this talk. And for those who wonder if business plays into this…
I’m sure [Drake] is gonna put out an album that does numbers, so on and so forth. Great. But it’s not gonna be better than “Daytona.”
– Pusha T
So, yeah. It’s music biz. Industry involved, but still PRIDE involved, too.

Pusha T Speaks On The Development Of “Daytona” And Dissing Drake ‘For The Record’ (Video)
Hells yeah! Start with the strong dap and get into the FACTS! Of course, the Drizzy dissing is on deck for discussion… but wait, there’s more!
G.O.O.D. Music president Pusha T returns this week with ‘Daytona,’ his first full-length release since 2015’s ‘King Push – Darkness Before Dawn: The Prelude.’ In the latest episode of Genius’ ‘For the Record,’ Pusha discussed his recording process, his political differences with Kanye, the reasoning behind its truncated length, and the Drake diss track “Infrared.â€

Black Thought – “Streams of Thought” (Vol. 1) [EP]
Okay. So this is what we’re doing Black Thought… packing an EP like the Warriors roster?? Ought to be dope judging from the lineup alone (9th, Rapsody, AND SP). But wouldn’t it be great if you got a preview, like a FREEview listen, before deciding if you’re gonna grab the download?
(Answer: Yeah, it would. So here.)
