Kendrick Lamar - Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe Official Video

The official video has landed!

Chance The Rapper - Acid Rap

I decided to give this mixtape a listen and it turns out it was a great friggen choice. This is the first time I've really listened to Chance The Rapper too. Chance makes songs that are very different than what I'm used to but I love how chill the beat selection is and lyrically he is pretty good. He's witty, aggressive and when it comes down to it he is entertaining. Some of my favorite tracks are Cocoa Butter Kisses, Juice (listen below), Smoke Again ft. Ab-Soul (after the jump) and Chain Smoker. I definitely recommend this!

Miguel - How Many Drinks? ft. Kendrick Lamar

Miguel is my shit, if you are still sleeping on him you need to get both his CDs.

Daft Punk - Get Lucky

Daft Punk, you know what it is.

50 Cent - We Up ft. Kendrick Lamar Official Video

Dope

Kendrick Lamar - Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe remix ft. Jay-Z

One of my favorite tracks off of Good Kid m.A.A.d City gets the remix treatment. New verses from K-Dot and a fresh verse from Jay-Z. I still think Kendrick went harder than Hov on this one but who cares because this track is dope. Only the clean version in out for now so keep checking back! Shouts to ThaRSB for this one again, I'm going to have to employ him full time if he keeps this up.Update: Dirty is up
 

Hit-Boy - Cypher (Hits since '87, Inc.)

Kent M$NEY, Audio Push, B Mac The Queen, ScHoolboy Q, Casey Veggies, Xzibit, Rick Ross, Method Man, Redman and Raekwon. Fresh, dope, swag and whatever else you can come up with. Hip-hop.

Fresh Prince of Panjab

Story of our lives people. Recognize

Kid Cudi - Immortal

For some reason I found myself not wanting to like this song. Cudi fucked that up; the beat on this song is way too good. This one is off of Cudi's new album Indicud and samples MGMT's "Congratulations". You do not want to sleep on this track.
 

50 Cent - We Up ft. Kendrick Lamar and Kidd Kidd

This one is off of 50's new album dropping asap.

Redman - Lookin Fly Too ft. Method Man and Ready Roc

This song is fresh and the video is pretty dope. "Looking Fly Too " is probably off of Redman's new project but is any one else ready for Blackout 3?? Nobody can challenge the flow and energy that Red and Meth have together. Shouts to RSB for showing me this song!

J. Cole - Power Trip ft. Miguel

What a week from J Cole, first he gave us a 5 track EP and now the first single off of Born Sinner is here!  The last time these two hooked up for a song it was amazing and I have to say they did it again! Do not sleep on this song, it is definitely on high rotation.

Cazzette - Weapon (Vicetone Remix)

This track is huge! It definitely will be on high rotation right away!

Trae Tha Truth - I'm Screwed Up ft. Future

Love hearing some new Trae Tha Truth
 

Mistah F.A.B. - Dreams ft. Warren G

J. Cole - Truly Yours

J Cole's Born Sinner has been delayed but he gives us this EP which has tracks from 2009. If this is any indication of how good Born Sinner will be I cannot wait for it. Cole has developed his rap game into something incredible since his The Come Up days and has turned into one of the strongest forces in the game today. Born Sinner coming soon, do not sleep. Download below.
