I really wish I had more time to comment on this record. I will soon, but by then, probably no one will give a shit. But I will make them care!
Either way, congrats to Cole on going No. 1. Honestly, that’s dope. And…in short…his record is very, very good. Not sure I’d say it’s great, but the kid went in. Has a 90’s/early 2000’s real rap record feel, and I mess with that heavily.
How that feel? Very happy. (c) Jermaine

Man this is too funky! And those Deion, straight up! Kind of makes me want to cop a pair. Had to be about 3rd grade when I had the originals of those.
This record is off his project you can peep directly below.

Looks like the remix to the last jam off Lincoln Way Nights is getting the visual treatment. And I’m pretty sure that’s not Massillon as the back drop. Funny how quickly things change…SMDH.
Ha. I’m just playing. Do your thing kid! THREE THREE OH! MMG!
Video: Kendrick Lamar & Pharrell Williams in the Studio
Kendrick’s talent and recent buzz off Section.80 landed him in the stu with Skateboard P. Pharrell paying Kendrick many compliments on his work with the new record and well deserved at that.
This has to be very gratifying to be young and hoping in the studio with a legend like this. On the flip side though, this seems like such the industry cliche thing to do once you have that ‘breakthrough’ record. Now granted, Kendrick has been posted up with Dr. Dre for a minute now, but I guess my point is, if these dudes made really solid records with their in-house guys, isn’t it a slight to go elsewhere for your next project?
I think it’s way more dope to build together with your in-house guys ala 40 and Drake/Boi-1da and Drake. Now, I do realize Drake had other big name producers on his project, but I guess my fear is you abandon the sound that made you popular in the first place. However, it’s obvious working with someone like The Neptunes helps take you, your team and your records to a potentially different stratosphere of mainstream success.
Either way, what we see is what we get, so I guess be on the look out for something with Kendrick and The Neptunes in the future.

Video: The Kid Daytona, Tony Williams & 6th Sense – The Making of Camelot
Shout out to the homie 6th Sense. This sounds ill.
Xclusive Writes held an Xclusive Mix session at Night Owl Studios in NYC with producer 6th Sense and artist The Kid Daytona. Xclusive Mix is an interactive studio session where fans and supporters get the opportunity to witness the creation of a new song in real time. In this video, watch how The Kid Daytona and 6th Sense break down the meaning behind the song, all while creating it before an intimate group’s eyes. As a surprise guest, the session was blessed with the extraordinary vocals of Tony Williams.
Video: Jay Electronica – The Making of Act II
Man where has this dude been? Too long have we waited for something official to come from Mr. Electronica. I have to be honest, this sampling of what’s to come sounds like some sh*t most of you aren’t ready for. Real talk, real music, real artistry. For real.
Props to LaTonya Givens on the vocals. Who knows when Act II will drop. Hopefully soon.
Video: Big K.R.I.T. – “Live From The Underground” (BTS)
FIRE!!! I told you. He has an Outkast feel to much of what he does (rhymes, rhythms, even the name of his next project).
Returnof4eva drops March 22nd.
Wiz Khalifa – Stoned & Daytoday Waken and Baken Tour
