Big Sean – “Bezerk” feat. A$AP Ferg x Hit-Boy (Video)
October 2, 2019
Hit-Boy on the beat, so b!tch you gotta go “Bezerk!”
HA!
It’s like Hit-Boy does the beat, then shows up to the video shoot to make sure you (1) know it’s his driving beat that is driving the rappers crazy on the track AND (2) watch the entire video, to the end, because you KNOW he is gonna drop a fire azz collabo verse on one of these one day!
Not this time though. Sean and Ferg got it.

GreaseKydz was at The Remix “Sweet 16” Celebration (check that out here), too. That was a HAPPENING! Until that night, they had not performed together in years… but obviously haven’t missed a beat (or BAR) on the mics!!

Swizz Beatz x Rick Ross x DMX – “Just In Case”
October 1, 2019
Okay. A collabo with Rick Ross and DMX will get clicks and listens on sight. But this is DOPE beyond that. And of course, the result is an anthem!
The DMX comeback kicks off with a Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz collaboration.
In March, studio footage of DMX, Swizz Beatz, and Rick Ross surfaced, leaving fans excited at the prospect at a focused comeback from the beloved Dark Man. In a clip still available on Swizzy’s IG, the producer can be seen vibing in a packed studio, complete with Godfather Of Harlem star Forest Whittaker on hand.

Nas – “War Against Love” (Video)
October 1, 2019
“The Lost Tapes 2” will grow on you, if you let it. We linked you already, but we got you here again. Check for Nas… always!
Nas’s newest video, “War Against Love,†from his critically-acclaimed album, The Lost Tapes 2, fearlessly spotlights the historic and current discourses we face. With peaceful displays of humankind’s achievements and nature’s beauty paired with difficult scenes of man-made destruction, the message is clear; it is our duty to learn from humanity’s fraught history and move forward in the name of love.

Moses Sankofa – “No Pressure” feat. GiZRoK (Video)
September 30, 2019
Confession: I like ‘lovey dovey’ Hip-Hop. That is, when it is in the pocket… not to sappy… like when it perfectly says “I Need Love” without saying it directly or incessantly. Pharoahe Monch did it right with “The Light” and The Roots got it perfect with “Silent Treatment.”
This joint from Columbus’ (Georgia, USA) own Moses Sankofa is dope like that: “No Pressure” (featuring GiZRoK).
When a love poem rap does what it is supposed to do, you FEEL the sentiment beyond the words.

I’m human, bro. I go through things!
Great interview! So much stuff to rock with, with M.A in general but in this sit-down specifically. Near the end, when she stressed that she wanted to be RELATABLE. That she is. Plus a DOPE emcee. That album has been long-awaited.
“Herstory” is out now!

Killer Mike Declares, Loudly, That “Black People Aren’t Ready For Revolution!” (Video)
September 27, 2019
Killer Mike making the revolutionary rounds. Beating his drum for real revolution… and why we ain’t ready. SELF reliance is key. If revolution tears DOWN the system, but we are reliant ON the system, how will we survive the revolution?
Powerful share by Dr. Boyce Watkins.
