When I was 16 years old, I was trying to make sure I handed in my homework in time. When Kendrick Lamar was 16, he was already releasing mixtapes and on his way to becoming a successful rapper. Who needs homework! Ten years later, Lamar’s first mixtape has surfaced on the internet for all of [...]

April 12th, 2013

Frank Ocean’s stock is so high that even a video of tour footage is still an exciting thing for us to see.

Miguel feat. Kendrick Lamar “How Many Drinks? (Remix)” (Stream)

April 10th, 2013

You’ve gotta admire Miguel for not doing the obvious on Kaleidoscope Dream and signing up some rappers for guest appearances. Seems like an album can’t happen without at least six of ‘em. So, it’s easy to forgive him for indulging after the fact, which he’s done on the remix of “How Many Drinks?” Kendrick Lamar [...]

Download Big K.R.I.T.’s ‘King Remembered In Time’ mixtape

April 10th, 2013

It’s hard to believe but King Remembered In Time is Big K.R.I.T. What’s even harder to believe is that it’s taken him eight years to call a mixtape King Remembered In Time. The greatest thing about them, though, is that more often than not they play like proper full-lengths, and judging by a quick first [...]

April 9th, 2013

“Whilst everyone’s making trap, we’re just making something else.” That’s how Lunice hears what he and Hudson Mohawke do as TNGHT. The duo have followed up their debut self-titled 12″ with a brand new single called “Acrylics,” which teases the senses with a soothing music box and then drops a massive trap beat and zapping [...]

Snoop Lion feat. Drake & Cori B “No Guns Allowed” (Video)

April 2nd, 2013

Gun violence used to be such an American thing, but over the past few years, it’s unfortunately become a Toronto thing. Though you wouldn’t really expect Snoop Dogg to be the first rapper penning an anti-gun anthem, he seems to have really mellowed with age, especially under his new reggae moniker, Snoop Lion. For his [...]

Drake “5AM in Toronto” (Video)

April 2nd, 2013

This morning Drake tweeted, “That might be like my first viral video. Doing it for the city this time around. Well every time but this time especially.” Two things: pretty much anything Drizzy does goes viral and pretty much everything he does is for his city. But yeah, his clip for “5AM in Toronto” finds [...]
