Gucci rounds up T.I., Rocko, and a bunch of big booty gals for the remix to “Plain Jane”. Fittingly enough, the video is plain as they come.
Towards the end of Hov’s Made In America set, he brought out Kanye and his G.O.O.D. Music crew. The gang’s all here. Pardon their backs. yardie
Jay Electronica emerged from hiding and gave his first U.S. performance this year at the Made In America Festival. Here’s film of him reciting “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C”.

This afternoon, Hov kicked off his Made In America Festival in Philadelphia. Maybach Music were the first hip-hop act to hit the stage and here’s footage from their set. yardie
Look up in the sky and it’s Mac Miller with a new record featuring ScHoolboy Q. A PlaneCarBoat seems like a good idea, but much like this song, it’s probably best left as one.
As Miguel’s track continues to make its rounds, it now falls into the hands of Taylor Gang’s own for yet another remake. Who got next?
What happens when you mix Lil Fame and Termanology? You get Fizzyology. Here’s the video and title track from their upcoming album dropping November 6th. Produced by The Alchemist.

Riding shotty across town, Big Sean gives us a first listen of his J.Cole-collabo. Like the previous tease, this sounds good so far. Detroit drops September 5.
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
