UPDATE: Exactly a year and 5 months later via hhnm. Album drops September 27.

While this tune continues to make its rounds, muthafuckas can find Tremaine in South Africa giving his take on Watch The Throne’s third track. That shit cray.

Seems like Chevy Woods’ love is out of control for his latest recording. Woods’ free album, The Cookout  is coming soon. Best feeling in the world.

In support of Scram Jones’ Wasted Talent EP, he travels high and low for his new video. We see you N.O. Shout out to Montell Williams.

Guess our invite was lost in the mail. In support of his mixtape, Breath Of Fresh Air, the Green Eyed Bandit throws one helluva pool party for his new video. No Ross appearance, but peep cameos from Prodigy, Fred The Godson, Grafh, Reek Da Villian and more.

Surf’s up. Although summer is winding down, Nick Cannon and the whole Ncredible team hit the beach for their latest video.

It’s been a long time coming, but Game’s The R.E.D. Album is finally in stores. In a sitdown with Billboard, the man himself gives an analysis of each track on the project. No name-dropping included.

Directed by Va$htie. Here’s what she said on Life +Times…

“I had the honor of directing a music video for one of my new favorite artists – Kendrick Lamar. After falling in love with his mixtape Section.80 and playing it on repeat, I was given the choice to pick any song to direct. I settled on “A.D.H.D.” for it’s dark beat and melancholy lyrics, tones that have always resonated with me. Like most of Kendrick’s songs off Section.80, it felt like a confessional of a conflicted generation; a timeless and universal theme.

I wanted the video to illustrate the emotion he paints with words, while avoiding gratuitous shots of any substance. Despite the song’s title and content, the focus isn’t the drugs, but rather, that basic human experience of apathetic youth. That simple mood of emptiness which we choose to either address or self-medicate.

Kendrick is a monster. Not only is he gifted as a musician, but as a person, he’s an genuine sweetheart. I hope you like the video.” 

This has to be some kind of record. Over the weekend at the Coke Live Music Festival in Poland, Kanye extended his performance of “Runaway” for 20 minutes. This definitely wasn’t on the deluxe version of MBDTF.
