The Ghost and Pharoahe perform the first verse of “My Life” at the Highline Ballroom Monday night. Reminds me: A Gangster And A Gentleman sure was a sleeper.

The NBA’s saving grace covers the latest SLAM. The issue comes at a fitting time time too. This past Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies, Kobe surpassed Jerry West as the L.A.

Before the kickoff of Super Bowl XLIV this Sunday, CBS will air a special music video featuring Hov and The Rutgers Symphony Orchestra. In a statement, Maestro Kynan John said the mash-up is “outside the mainstream of classical music.” Sweet! JZW
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.
