After building anticipation by dropping  the artwork last week, Kendrick Lamar has released his first single off his upcoming album. Entitled ‘i‘ the track centres around the lyrics “I love myself” . Rather than being an egotistical theme it’s meant more as an anthem to instill self confidence and have listeners singing along. With bars like “peace to fashion police,…

Two years after it’s release, Disclosure’s ‘Latch‘ (featuring Sam Smith) continues to retain it’s popularity, bridging the gap between electronic and pop worlds. Now, with a ScHoolboy Q remix, it blends rap into the mix. Are you feeling the rework? Let us know in the comments below.  Update: The remix has been taken down on YouTube but can still be…

Catch 22. Cam’Ron let this track slip last year but finally released the complete version featuring a verse from Tity Boi. Both Cam and Chainz take the listener through “break ups” with their friends-with-benefits who caught feelings (ha!). You can find the track on Cam’Ron’s 1st of the Month Vol. 4 dropping on October 1st. Stream it below.

Earlier today Logic posted the release date for his upcoming debut album Under Pressure. The album is slated to drop October 21, 2014. After building anticipation all day, he just blessed fans with the title track. The hook showcases exactly where Logic is at right now; a dude who’s been grinding and is finally about to make it. “Work so fucking…

I’m not sure who P.Keys is, or where he came from, but he’s definitely got my attention. Earlier this week, I came across ‘Not To Play With’ which saw the rhymer going in over Katranada’s track by the same name. Today, he’s taken on Mr. Carmack’s ‘This Morning Was Funny’ and he rips it. The concept plays off the title,…

Gong Xi Fa Cai. You’ve seen him destroy emcee’s during BET’s 106 & Park Freestyle Fridays. You’ve heard about him signing to the Ruff Ryders. And you also might remember him from 2 Fast 2 Furious (the second installment in the Fast & Furious franchise). But after some success in the US, MC Jin (more commonly known as Jin) returned to…

I’ve never heard of PKeys but I’ve got to say this song has got me impressed. ‘Not To Play With’ has PKeys going in over the KAYTRANADA beat by the same name.  Unsurprisingly the production on this is stellar but PKeys does the slammin’ zany beat some serious justice. With solid wordplay and a fierce flow he makes the track…

Late night in the stu. Here’s a pleasant surprise for a Wednesday afternoon. Nasty Nas blesses the Groovy Q hit that has been getting its spins since the release of the album. Right off the jump, Nas isn’t playing any games and he raps effortlessly. Though the song is all about the ladies, Nas addresses some serious business – his free…

The fans want Dear America, don’t let ’em wait. Now that the wait is over and the EP from Toronto’s own P Reign is available – P released his a single for fans to stream for free via SoundCloud. The track is a banger featuring a dope verse and infectious hook from crew-mate PARTYNEXTDOOR. PND’s “TWO” released earlier this summer and is still…

Lord forgive him. Jeezy’s new album is getting its spins and early reviews are good. The title track “Seen It All” with Hov is easily one of my personal favourites but this remix just surpassed it. Kendrick jumps on the tail end of the song and completely bodies the song. Check it out for yourself.
