There are certain artists and certain records that make me remember why I love dope hip-hop. Tanya Morgan is one of those groups. Shout to the fellas for continually blessing us with great music…
Oh goodness.
The King Of Ballard himself, Grynch, just dropped the visuals for his classic “My Volvo” record, complete with the Oreos in the dash. Doesn’t get any better.
If you’re not up on the man’s music, GetGrynch.com.
Damn, watching this clip was like watching the last episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 🙁
But in all seriousness, Little Brother’s music as a group meant so much to me and played such an important role in my life from 2001 to now, it’s definitely sad that they’re ending the group (…at least for now). Of course, on a positive note, Phonte, Pooh, and 9th will be making lots of great music in the years to come and judging by other group breakups and rapper retirements, I don’t know if I’ll give up all hope just yet…
Not exactly a happy go-lucky record, but definitely a dope (no pun) track and video from Sky. Directed by Artemus Jenkins, off Skyzoo’s The Salvation.
Oh hell yes. As referenced here, Shad’s new album, TSOL, is on the way and I couldn’t be more excited for a project this year. I think the only other rapper that makes me rewind for lyrics as much as Shad is Lupe, and y’all already know I’m a Lupe Stan. If you aren’t up on Shad, don’t worry, there’s room on the bandwagon. But um…get on NOW.
Spread the mp3 to your people and share the good word on Shad…
This kid Kendrick Lamar really came out of nowhere in the past year to become one of my favorite new MC’s. He spazzed on this joint something crazy. Shout to Dave for sending it through.
Damn…the girl in this video is hella cute. Oh…and the song is dope too. LOOOL @ Double-O’s adlibs.
Thurzday and Y-O are back with another video off A Love Supreme 2.0, this one directed by Jerome D for “Desha Dayana.” Freshness.
Damn, my man who doesn’t like when I post Drake stuff on the site is gonna want to skip over this one too hahah. Not to compare the two unfairly, but Donnis does share Drake’s abilities to appeal to a nice cross-section of the hip-hop crowd. He can rap. He can make catchy hooks (this one is a monster). He picks good beats. As he references in the song…it’s a nice mixture of Kanye, T.I., ‘Kast, Jay-Z influences, combined with his own talent that shapes his sound. I’m a fan.
Safe to say, his best video yet…Drizzy!
