2 Chainz x Jhené Aiko Visit The ‘Most Expensivest Psychic’ (Video)
2 Chainz & R&B singer Jhené Aiko go visit a psychic on the latest edition of his GQ web series ‘The Most Expensivest Sh*t”. After watching the video it appears to me that the only thing that could accurately be predicted is that the psychic is going to get paid from a bunch of people who believe her & 2 Chainz looks skeptical. Checkout past episodes of 2 Chainz’s series below….

“You got that baby making, earth shaking, jaw breaking, no A/C with the windows down type of loving!”

The-Dream – “Black Magic”
This brand new joint called “Black Magic” from Atlanta singer & songwriter The-Dream has me hitting the repeat icon over & over again. This joint is certified dopeness from the ‘A Tribe Called Quest-Bonita Applebum’ drums to the actual songwriting itself. Mr. Terius Nash even delivers a rap verse late in the song that’s executed better than you average trap rapper on the mainstream radio waves. “Black Magic” is slated to appear on The-Dream’s upcoming EP called ‘Jewel’ which is the sequel to his current EP that’s out now called ‘Crown.’ I’m sure you get the picture that he’s creating with a full-length ‘Crown Jewel’ dropping on July 10th on Capitol Records. In the meantime you should do like me right now & just hit the repeat button on this ‘Black Magic’ joint. Superb Mr. Nash. Superb indeed.

Tall Black Guy – “Far From Human”
Tell me. Why, why…why’d Tall Black Guy flip “Human Nature” (gotta sing it in your head like Michael Jackson [RIP] to get the effect)? Haaaa… good stuff though. Stream and hear for yourself.
Howdy folks, it has been a while since I uploaded a new track. I was super inspired by Just Blaze’s flip of MJ’s – Human Nature. I wanted to give it another shot. I flipped it previously for my TBG Vs MJ Remix Suite a few years back. Let me know what you all think.
– TBG
Upon listening, you kinda get the title of the flip track, too, right?
What Happened, Miss Simone? (Documentary Trailer)
“How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?”
– Nina Simone
Waaaaay more to sista Nina Simone than the Kanye West “Blood On The Leaves†sample; and it looks like NetFlix is going to let us in on the rest of the story. Check out the trailer for the documentary profile of the prolific pioneer artist/activist entitled “What Happened, Miss Simone?” The documentary (due out June 26, 2015) will include comments from her daughter and others close to her, along with rare recordings and footage.
Comedy: Mariah Carey Shares Her Pie With Bryan, Brett And Frito (Video)
Just saying… that Frito Pie looks like that bullll shucks! BUT if Mariah Carey’s cute a$$ makes it, I doubt there’s a dude alive that would not at least try it. Funny vid from ‘Funny or Die’ with host Bryan Safi, celeb guest producer/director Brett Ratner, and some corny dude named ‘Frito’ (gotta watch to hear Mariah’s story on him).
LAKIM – “I’m Rick James B!tch”
Every day people make remixes to classic and not so classic tracks. Â Sometimes the track sounds the same other times completely different. Â With that said sometimes producers are able to take just a little bit of the original track and make it their own while holding to true to what the artists created in the beginning. Â Well LAKIM has done just that with his latest remix track titled “Im Rick James Bitch” where he flips the Rick James classic “Super Freak”. Â I mean he adds some drums and a different baseline and it is a head nodder from start to finish. Â The only problem is it is too short only lasting for under two minutes.
“What did the five fingers Say to the Face? S-L-A-P I’m Cold Bloooooooded”

R&B/Soul: Denitia x Sene – “The Fan.” (Video)
Suffice it to say, we like posting on Denitia and Sene. This vid for “The Fan.” is off their EP entitled “Side FX.”
Oddisee Talks ‘The Good Fight’, Opportunity To Work with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath & Being True To Himself (Video)
In today’s scope of Hip Hop most artists seek out the limelight and love talking about how well they are doing. The Artist/Producer Oddisee is quite the opposite is he dedicated to his craft and concerned with being the best performer he can be absolutely. Â Does he concern himself with the fact he might not get certain props or being tracked down by certain rappers for beats negative. Â Oddisee has a new album out “The Good Fight” and it is a self produced album exhibiting some of his best work (my personal opinion). Â He recently sat down with Rosenberg at Hot 97 to discuss what he has been up to.

R&B: Audrey Rose – “Used To Be” feat. Jadakiss
R&B done with a sharp edge! Check out this “Used To Be” (featuring Jadakiss). This song feels like a break-up gone bad that fed creation of a joint so good that the world had to hear it. And accordingly, Audrey Rose has this song up for you for the FREE.99. So, stream and download while quantities last.
“Key word: ‘used to’… thought it was for life… We both thought WRONG.”
– Jadakiss

R&B/Soul: Ta-ku – “Love Again” feat. JMSN x Sango
Leaked from “Songs To Make Up To” (due out June 12, 2015), this is “Love Again” (featuring JMSN and Sango). Ta-ku is gonna hit some chords (internal) with this one. Might want to call that special one and listen together. You can preview stream it now (maybe even pre-order the EP below) and plan that for tonight.
Dej Loaf – “Me U & Hennessy” (Video)
It wasn’t too hard to recognize that Detroit artist Dej Loaf was a cutie despite the hardcore feel of her breakout hit ‘Try Me’ that introduced her to the world. I don’t know if it was entirely her idea or the people around her, but with her latest single ‘Me U & Hennessy’ they decided to switch it up a little bit in exploring her sensual side. The great camera work & lush visual feel by Director Solmaz Saberiwill definitely catches your eye, but without a shadow of a doubt it’s Dej Loaf’s unique beauty that is the primary element contributing to the artistic brilliance of the video. I can say the actual video made me dig the song & readily admit that I may have overlooked this track from her ‘Sell Sole’ project that dropped last year. I bet you Henny sales & record spins gonna go up with the release of this new video. Beautiful & Beautifully done ‘Detroit Girl’.
