DSharp x Ezinma – “The Box” (Violin Version) [Video]
March 4, 2020
Something about adding some violin to a banging azz Hip-Hop track makes it that more of a banger, right? Yup! Like this what DSharp & Ezinma (sexy, WOW!) did with the booming Roddy Ricch jawn right here. Such FLAVOR!

Mustard – “Ballin'” feat. Roddy Ricch (Video)
March 4, 2020
So DOPE!
Sure, for the banging beat and Ricch harmonizing rhyming, but also for the many little things… RIP NIP in there… the kids playing with the dope toy cars and some real ones roll up in a real one (“Ballin'” defined: Roddy and Mustard sliding by in a big boy toy, causing the li’l ones to smile and ‘ooh’ with joy). And the kids were toasting with Nehi sodas (“Ballin'”)!
AND they had sexy azz Jenny Babas in there like it was nothing… So they must be “Ballin'” with a “Perfect Ten” like that in the video!!
‘Perfect Ten’ out now.

R&B/Soul: Nicole Bus – “Rain” (Video)
March 4, 2020
Apropos that we had John Forte on here a bit ago. This Nicole Bus makes me think of his song “P.B.E.” (Powerful Beautiful Excellent). Because she is! Just watch this “Rain” video, and see why she is set to reign over there with Roc Nation. It’s a good look for her and the label. Peep.
Nicole’s album “Kairos” is out now!

One Vibe Africa Presents: Year Of Return (Trailer)
March 4, 2020
From the U.S. back to Kenya. Yes indeed.
You KNOW we are about travel abroad (e.g. from The States to overseas destinations). But this one hits home. As in Mother Africa, being home to ALL humanity and civilization. And this… this is epic. Of course, you know plenty of Sisters and Brothers who have declared that ‘one day’ they are going to make that pilgrimage back Home. Making it a big deal; maybe ‘too big’ a deal. But what if that ‘pilgrimage’ was less of a ‘trip’ to take. Like, let’s just say the family, the homies, the homegirls… are going to make it to an awesome event… and take in some of The Motherland while over that way. We could do that, right? We already do it for other festivals.
And like those other festivals, maybe we make it a yearly thing; or trips more often if we find things over there that draw us back.
Moving Madaraka Festival from Seattle back to Kenya signified the importance of not only arranging for individuals to travel back to Africa as it was with the case of Ghana’s year of return initiative, but getting significant events back to Africa and keeping them in Africa as a way to build a sustainable bridge allowing people of all backgrounds to travel to Africa to enjoy a festival of a lifetime, immerse themselves in the African culture, and inspire global change and collaboration towards mitigating climate change, which does not only threaten the climate but is an existential threat to our music, culture, and livelihood.
– One Vibe TV
Dope music and culture do it again. Let’s get together; for the community and the cause. It’s a Vibe. One Vibe Africa! Matter of fact, why not show love and SUPPORT right now: Cop the EP (linked below) #ForTheYouth #ForKisumu #ForKenya #ForOurWorld
Hit the jump for more on that. The fam Mazzi really blessed with the knowledge on this one. Knowledge and blessing right to mobile #Mobilize

Jada Pinkett Smith Invites Snoop Dogg To The Red Table… To Heal (Video)
March 3, 2020
What about when I wanna cry? What about when I wanna hurt?
This is gonna be ANOTHER epic Red Table Talk.
Oh, that’s right. Tupac is the link between Jada and Snoop (watch, cover that right away). Low-key, well not really since I am typing my thoughts here, this is pretty brave of The DoggFather to come on the show known for getting them Oprah tears out of guests… Speaking of Oprah… Jada, Gammy, and Willow WILL be getting Snoop to go in on what he said about O’s BFF Gayle King. So, lean in!

Tall Black Guy x Chaka Khan – “I Know You, I Live You Re​-​Rub” feat. Karizma (Kaytronik)
March 3, 2020
Prediction: Every grown folk jam opportunity that is worth anything going into the spring and summer WILL HAVE THIS BUMPING! Once again, Sir TBG is hipping us to what’s gonna be the hippest; and we are putting it up for you. See how we look out for y’all.
And this is an extra tasty taste. All we got was notification and links in the inbox. But then we went looking, REALLY looking, and found a snippet of what is available for you to reserve now. Listen above, and imagine the barbecues, house sets, parties in the park, old-to-the-new swing outs, or just you rolling dolo on a perfect afternoon with these grooves on deck! Linking this below.
Don’t sleep. But if you sleep, make it a quick nap. Don’t be late, but if you are, be fashionably fly with it. And if you sleep on this AND you are late to the party… maaaaan… It’s alright. Just come groove & be chill with all the fly, well-rested ninjas and Honeyz. Ha!
I Know You, I Live You For Sure is the first single from Tall Black Guy’s Remixes & Tings Vol. 1 collection released in 2019. This single represents his interpretation of a Chaka Khan favorite, and adds a modern vibration to the 80’s classic that would even make Queen Chaka herself proud. In the arena of remixes, this record solidifies Tall Black Guy as one of the best to ever practice the craft. The pulsating drums, and Chaka’s vocals weaving through the sonic landscape leave the listener in a trance moving without thought, and sweating without effort. The extended version of this new classic is sure to be in every vinyl lovers rotation.
Lastly, Tall Black Guy teamed up with Karizma (Kaytronik) for the B Side. A remix of a remix has resulted in a new House Head favorite known as “Love Dubâ€. There’s genius in being able to capture the vastness in small things, and Kaytronik has done just that. “His house music ears heard a pocket, and he just did his thingâ€, says TBG about Kaytroinik’s first encounter with the track. Tall Black Guy says, “when I heard what he did with it, I knew it had to be on the singleâ€. Now, the public has a chance to own what many will consider to be a part of music history.

RZA (Of Wu-Tang Clan) Directs “Cut Throat City” [Trailer]
March 2, 2020
Well, go ‘head then. We see you RZA! Looks like RZA sat down in the chair marked ‘Director’ and got out his bullhorn and went to work helming a nice piece of compelling cinema. Here’s the latest trailer for that.
From director RZA and writer P.G. Cuschieri. Starring Ethan Hawke, T.I., Wesley Snipes, Terrence Howard, Eiza González, Kat Graham, Shameik Moore, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Denzel Whitaker, Keean Johnson, Isaiah Washington. “Cut Throat City” – In Theaters April 10, 2020
– Wu-Tang Clan
You know… April 10, 2020 is not that far away. Betting that this flick will be worth the wait. Besides, we’ve been waiting for nearly two years (given the other trailer for this film was posted on here back in 2018). We can wait a bit longer.

D Smoke – “Gaspar Yanga” feat. Snoop Dogg

Likely by design, D Smoke has very few features on his album, “Black Habits.” Of the few album tracks with features, this is one with a real-live West Coast Hip-Hop icon… Uncle Snoop Dogg aka The DoggFather!
“Black Habits” is out now.

March 2, 2020
It’ll take me nothing to put your life on the Dollar Menu, like Egg McMuffin.
Doing anything 100 times is work. One hundred episodes of any show is a big deal for any series. The L.A. Leakers series notwithstanding; and they figured out how to make this even more special… bigger… by bring in someone to bring in the BARZ and keep it 100 on episode 100. So here we go.. Royce Da 5’9!
