Not only did CuDi give a full performance of “Teleport 2 Me” during the Heatwave Festival in the Outback, he also pulled out the guitar for an electrifying performance of his WZRD track “Brake“. hhnm
This doesn’t even sound like the same record. Mike Posner and Blackbear give Rick Ross’ underground hit an uplugged makeover. No French Montana verse? Ha! If you like what you hear, download here.
During Common’s interview on Hip-Hop Nation last week, he performed his controversial track. Oh, how sweet the sound. “Ghetto Dreams” below.
“Don’t get caught up in no Throne.” The artist formerly known as Mos Def represents for the have-nots with his interpretation of The Throne’s hit. Too bad this joint ain’t worth a damn.
While at the CES convention in Las Vegas last week, Forbes caught up with LL Cool J. After plugging his musical venture, boomdizzle, he addressed his gripe with the music business. From Todd’s perspective, radio is mostly to blame. Somethings, we just can’t live without. 57ave
Too much sweets may not be good for you, but this sounds good. Masspike Miles drops off his latest treat off his upcoming project, Say Hello To Forever which drops January 24.
Cudder was one of the headlining acts last night at the Heatwave Festival in South Australia. During his set, he debuted the full version of his upcoming single, “Teleport 2 Me” which you can check out above. Sounds pretty good so far. WZRD, coming soon. dnc
Earlier today, Jeezy’s new video premiered on MTV Jams as The Jam Of The Week, and lucky for us, Yardie comes through with a rip. TM:103 in stores now.
Common and Khaled checked in by phone but Just Blaze actually stopped by the East Village Radio studios to close out YN’s second episode of his Keep It Thoro program. Mr. Smith talked about being paid to party, his Master of The Mix reality show, Saigon’s upcoming mixtape and he even freestyled over some of his beats. Fun times! Bonus: Peep whole show here and playlist.
Last Fall, Pharrell
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
