Turn Up Tuesday: Kendrick Lamars Debuts "King Kunta" Video

'

Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest rap stars of our generation. Known to always cross boundaries and switch up his flows, Kendrick's fan base has huge following. 27 yr old Kendrick has been rapping for years but found main stream success with his last album, m.A.A.d City . That album includes songs like "bitch don't kill my vibe", "Poetic Justice" , "Money Trees" and many more. I am a big fan of his because he music provokes thought and each song has a story. Lamar's music is so important in this generation where anybody can be a rapper just saying dumb quotes and adding auto-tune (lets be real). 

Kendrick recently had people going cray again when he released his single "I" which has a retro rap feel and he even free-styled the song on the radio. This song along with his new joint "King Kunta" will be featured on his album To Pimp A Butterfly. His new album dropped last month and I will say that this is the best album of 2015. He really took his time choosing beats and music that would enhance his work. I will even say this is worth purchasing the CD because the quality is just that amazing. 


Check out his new video to "King Kunta" & The Rest Of To Pimp A Butterly Below !

Truth Music : B.O.B's new track "New Black"


One of my favorite artists out right now, B.O.B, from ATL put out a new joint called "New Black". Bobby Ray is known for his catchy flow and conscious lyrics. A lot of his new fans know him for commercial success with songs like "Airplanes" feat Haley Williams and "Nothing on You" feat Bruno Mars. His latest track tackles being black in America and with recent events this track really makes you think. This is the music that we as young people need to be listening to instead of mind-numbing twerk songs. I mean twerk songs are cool( i twerk lol ) but its also cool to have some conscious music in ya playlist. Check Out Adventures Of Bobby Ray out in stores and itunes now !!

Turn Up !! Lil Wayne Releases Video To "Grindin" Featuring Drake


"Im Grindin For All My Sh**/I Done Put Time In To All Dis Shit"

Arguably the biggest rapper of our time, Lil Wayne, released the video to his new single "Grindin" featuring YMCMB heavyweight Drake. The single will be off of Wayne's upcoming and alleged last album The Carter V. Lil Wayne and Drake have had many collaborations in the past (e.g. "HYFR", "Believe Me","She Will" ) and i'd say that they bring out the best in each other musically. The two are nearing the end of their successful co-headlining tour called Lil Wayne vs Drake.Wayne says that after his next album he will be retiring from the rap game all together so I know this album will be an instant classic.

New Music ! August Alsina Releases Video For "No Love" Featuring Nicki Minaj


August Alsina released the highly anticipated video to hit single "No Love" featuring Nicki Minaj. The single was a remix to Nicki's previous song with Mario "Somebody Else".  In the video, Nicki never fails to impress. Ms. Minaj had an array of outfit changes throughout the video. She definitely catches all the attention. August also complements her style and also shows fans his uber sexy swag. The two have so much chemistry its hard not to think that they haven't been together before *side eye* and not to mention they've been spotted out together quite a few times. 

August and Nicki have been heavyweights in the music industry this year. Nicki has been the most sought after for features/cameos and her 3rd album, The Pinkprint, is set to release November 24 this year. August has also been garnering huge success since the release of his debut album, Testimony, earlier this year.

So New Saturday: Chi-town Rapper King Louie's New Mixtape Tony Is An Instant Classic [LISTEN HERE]



My hometown, Chicago has recently been receiving a lot of media attention not only because of its high crime rate but for it's blazin underground hip-hop scene. Chicago aka "Chiraq's" rap community basically started what is known as drill music. Rappers from the Chi have been receiving worldwide recognition with artists like Chief Keef, Lil Herb, Dreezy & more. King Louie is also one of the innovators of drill music but hasn't got much attention as his peers. King L has been featured on Kanye's album YEEZUS and has his picture on the cover of Common's new album Nobody's Smiling.

Despite all the attention and being signed to Epic Records, King Louie has yet to come out with an official album but his mixtapes never disappoint. The rapper's new mixtape Tony has been receiving  a lot of love from the hip-hop community. On the mixtape are unforgettable songs like "Difference" feat Slitta , "Live and Die In Chicago" and "B.O.N". King L takes fans into the life of a Chicago drilla and has more of a grittier flow on this mixtape. I listened to the entire mixtape and it wasn't one track that I could not connect with on some level. Louie is exactly what hip-hop needs because in world so full of facades and fakery everyone is looking for that one artist who is gonna keep it real.

Who Went Harder !? Up & Coming Female Rapper Dreezy Murdered The 'Chiraq" Remix [LISTEN HERE ]





Last week, Nicki Minaj release her new single "Chi-raq" featuring Chicago rapper Lil Herb. This week Dreezy released her version of the track and won the internet over. People all over social media was comparing who went harder. A lot of people said Dreezy went harder and I agree. Nicki Minaj can't do a track representing the Chi because she's not from here. Minaj's bars on "Chi-raq" were mediocre in comparison to her past songs. Dreezy has been receiving buzz for a little over a year and it seems this year will be her year to make her mark on the rap scene. She is what the rap game needs. It's not enough female rappers out and it's not fair that Nicki Minaj is at the top with no competition. Tune in to Dreezy's music and support real artist !

Nicki Reppin Chi-Town !? She Teams Up Chicago Rapper Lil Herb For Gritty New Single "Chi-Raq" LISTEN HERE



 YMCMB artist Nicki Minaj took the internet by storm yet again. Early this morning, Nicki released a hard hittin hood track entitled "Chi-raq" which features rising Chi-town emcee Lil Herb. In the track, Lil Herb spits few bars from his hit song "Kill Shit " along with some new bars. Herb has been receiving major buzz since Drake co-signed his lyricist MC status a few months ago on twitter and also with the release of his mixtape Welcome to Fazoland back in February. It seems Nicki caught on to Herb's wave and we will hopefully be seeing more of this collab in the future. 


After the release of Nicki's previous album Pink Friday (2010), Nicki vowed to her barbs that she would go back to her gritty hip hop steez instead of the bubblegum pop music she released on that album. With singles like "Lookin Ass Nigga" and Her remix to "Danny Glover" by Young Thug she is proving that she will not let her fans down. "Chi-raq" will be featured on her upcoming album Pink Print which she has yet to set a release date for. Nicki spits on the outro of the song “I might give you a new trick every week until this album drops…..I don’t know, I figured they wanted some more.”
