[Hip-Hop] Kendrick Lamar – The Heart Pt. 3 (Will You Let It Die?) ft. Jay Rock & Ab-Soul

Posted by Ash El Gamal - October 20, 2012

Kendrick Lamar continues to destroy the hip-hop game letting loose a lyrically powerful track with an old school feel featuring two of his fellow talented Black Hippy members, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. “The Heart Pt. 3” is an introspective and emotional cut, on which Lamar and co. reminisce about their rise to fame. Kendrick exudes confidence even while admitting his own doubts and second-guessing as his voice becomes raspier and more expressive through out. Soul and Jay Rock hold their own on the track showing why they are two of the most underrated emcees out. Do yourself a favor and grab this awesome free treat below. Good Kid m.A.A.d. City hits stores Monday, October 22nd.

[Hip-Hop] A$AP Rocky – Fuckin’ Problem Feat. Drake, 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar (Prod. Noah “40” Shebib)

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - October 18, 2012

A$AP Rocky pulls out all the stops on this brand new single, recruiting a few of the hottest young rappers in the game to help him out in Drake, 2 Chainz, and Kendrick Lamar.  On the aptly titled “Fuckin Problem,” the fearsome foursome remind us exactly what you get when you put them on a track together. While 2 Chainz mans the hook, the other three rappers contribute a few verses to discuss some of the issues associated with their fame and wealth (although none of them seem serious enough to quell our rap aspirations quite yet). If you enjoyed this, make sure to keep an eye out for Rocky’s upcoming major label debut, LONGLIVEA$AP, dropping soon.

[Hip-Hop] Kendrick Lamar – Poetic Justice Feat. Drake (Prod. Scoop DeVille)

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - October 18, 2012

Kendrick Lamar‘s debut album good kid, m.A.A.d. City is only five days away, but we already have one of the most anticipated collaborations from the project right here.  After recruiting Kendrick for a guest appearance on Take Care last year, it only seems appropriate for Drake to return the favor to his Club Paradise tourmate.  The track is chock full of sexual innuendo as the two rappers slow things down and drop some slick verses aimed towards the ladies, all while Janet Jackson’s “Any Time Any Place,” lingers in the background.  Just what you’d expect from a song with Heartbreak Drake.  If you haven’t done so already, it’s not too late to pre-order Kendrick’s album.  You can head over to iTunes and purchase it now.

[Soul/Hip-Hop] ZZ Ward – Cry Wolf feat. Kendrick Lamar

Posted by tylercole - October 11, 2012

After covering one of Kendrick Lamar‘s singles on her Eleven Roses mixtape, soul singer ZZ Ward teams with the Compton rising star for her latest release “Cryin’ Wolf”. This dusty acoustic rock and gritty blues song is emphasized by Ward’s tough, no bullsh*t attitude lyrics about dropping a dude that can’t drop his addiction. Paired with a hand-clap chorus and an effortlessly dope rhyme from Dre’s protege, this track has an organically beautiful and strong vibe. Mixing some blues, folk, and hip-hop elements, Ward delivers a confident intro for her upcoming debut Til The Casket Drops, out October 16th.
