Yesterday, 2Pac’s “Dear Mama” was inducted into the National Recording Registry. The late honoree’s mother, Afeni Shakur spoke on her son’s behalf. You are appreciated. “I’m incredibly touched. It could have been any song, but I’m honored they chose ‘Dear Mama’ in particular. It is a song that spoke not just to me, but every mother that has been in that situation, and there have been millions of us. Tupac recognized our struggle, and he is still our hero.” ahh

Jack Harlow just dropped his new single 'Just Us' featuring Doja Cat, and the music video is packed with stars! The song is a lively hip hop track with seductive and ironic lyrics. Personally, I noticed that the mix on YouTube doesn't quite sit right with me; the vocals seem a little low, and I can't hear the words clearly. Has anyone else had the same impression?

This track is fire! Termanology, Bun B, and Enisa bring smooth flows and great vibes. “Travel The World” really hits different—perfect for globetrotters. Even a Migration Agent would vibe with this international energy!

Yo, it happened! Larry June, 2 Chainz and The Alchemist dropped "Life Is Beautiful", it's a real gem. Alchemist, as always, worked his magic with the beats, creating a harmonious carpet for Larry June's laid-back rhymes and 2 Chainz's unmistakable flow. It's a mix that works, believe me, it really surprised me.
