Westcoast’s IAMSU! just took to Twitter to reveal the artwork cover for his next full length release, Kilt 2. He has previously stated that the music on $uzy 6 $peed was strictly tunes to turn up to and that this upcoming tape will show people that he can make more than just function music.  I’m not sure if we have heard anything yet that will be featured on the upcoming tape but if not, expect Suzy to drop something new very soon.  The tape is set to drop in its entirety on June 6th.  Check out the first Kilt mixtape if you haven’t already.

Posted by & filed under Music Videos, Videos. Leave a comment

Not only was 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa blessed enough to be tapped for the soundtrack to the upcoming Fast & Furious movie, they compile footage from previous movies to put together the visuals for this record. The video starts off with Letty and Dom about to race and a cameo from Rita Ora’s fine ass before old footage begins to show even though neither 2 Chainz or Wiz appear in the actual video.  Movie hits theaters everywhere May 24th.

Posted by & filed under Music Videos, Videos. Leave a comment

Hassani Kwess takes us back to his 2012 release, Ruthless, to give us the official visual treatment to his Chuck Inglish produced track, ‘Kick The Bass, Chuck’. Kwess airs off with his vicious flow and intricate bars and doesn’t cease until the beat cuts off.  Originally shot late 2011, he decided to hold off on releasing the video for reasons unknown until today.  Lookout for his next full length release, The Kwess Never Sleeps, dropping this summer.

Fat Joe – Ballin’ feat. Wiz Khalifa & Teyana Taylor [Video]

Posted by & filed under Music Videos, Videos. Leave a comment

After dropping the new single back in March of this year, Fat Joe returns with the official video for ‘Ballin’ featuring guest appearances from Taylor Gang’s general, Wiz Khalifa, and G.O.O.D. Music’s first lady, Teyana Taylor. Yep, this beat does sound familiar because producer Illa sampled and looped Nas’ ‘Hero’ instrumental.  Given that the title of the track is ‘Ballin’, expect to see a lot of flexing in this Eif Rivera-directed video.

Wu-Tang Clan – Execution In Autumn (prod. Frank Dukes)

Posted by & filed under Tracks. Leave a comment

Fresh off the announcement that the Wu-Tang Clan will be taking the stage alongside a virtual Ol Dirty Bastard at Rock The Bells, Soul Temple liberates this new unreleased Wu-Tang Clan track that features verses from Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, RZA and U-God. The Frank Dukes produced cut is said to be taken straight from RZA’s very rare personal vault of music. I’m sure hearing this brings back memories of the good old days for the older heads that visit the site.  Hopefully we can get some solid information on that Wu-Tang reunion album that is rumored to drop this year according to RZA.  For now, listen to the unreleased track below.

Lee Bannon – Never​/​Mind​/The​/​Darkness​/​Of​/​It [Instrumental Album]

Lee Bannon follows up on his last project with a new 7-track release titled Never​/​Mind​/The​/​Darkness​/​Of​/​It and this is what he had to say:

“Never/mind/the/darkness/of/it…’ is the follow up to ‘Caligula theme music 2.7.5.’ with darker vibes and is a web of noise to get caught in.” – BANNON

The album kind of puts you in a trans as you get lost in his dark, eerie but soothing instrumentals just like his last release, Caligula Theme Music 2.7.5.  You can stream the full project below.  If you want it for the iTunes archive, you can purchase the project at the link provided below.

PURCHASE: LEE BANNON – NEVER/MIND/THE/DARKNESS/OF/IT

Julian Malone – Tokyo

Posted by & filed under Tracks. Leave a comment

Chicago’s very own Julian Malone looks to get back on his independent grind (he’s officially off Stones Throw) with the official release of his first single, ‘Tokyo’, off his upcoming Diff.Rnt mixtape.  He also stated that any leak that he’s put out in the past couple of weeks will be left off the tape so that means fans are in for a treat.  This self-produced cut and the rest of the tape will be out some time July.

Juicy J – Boss Nigga

Posted by & filed under Tracks. Leave a comment

Just as promised, Juicy J unleashes this new track titled ‘Boss Nigga’ which was produced by him and Crazy Mike.  The production on this track is a bit turnt down on what we’re accustomed to from Juicy, but rest assured, this won’t be appearing on his upcoming album.  This is just something light that he wanted to put out before he started releasing more album material given that this song is only one verse. Stay Trippy coming this summer.
