Video: Yung LOTTA -Lark on my Go Kart (freestyle)
Shoutout to the homie Chris for putting me on to this Yung Lotta (IV F.O.U.L SUPPORTER) track.
Pod Play: J Cole – Killer
Name a song J Cole hasn’t threw up on… [I'll wait] This track is no different. It’s clear his strength is definitely in these storytelling songs. However, this song won’t make it to Cole-World. J Cole brings this track to life through the deep thoughts of a killer. “My story isn’t the only one I’m trying to tell,” J Cole. Cooking up a classic takes time, so be patient, Cole-World will definitely be a classic.
Mama, I just killed a man. My body’s still trembling can you feel my hand? Don’t shed no tears, it wont be long before they find out it was me mama. This may be the last time you may see me free, Ma don’t spend it cry’n. You did ya best. I was blessed, know you was stressed try’n… to keep me out the streets. Me duck’n police, try’n not to make a peep to wake you up outta ya sleep. A drunk and high fool, skipp’n class flunk’n high school
Video: Producer J Time in the Studio
Money is the motive ! Am I right? Producer J Time would agree with me on that, he goes in on a new sample he’s working on – and he’s a FOULER. Check out the IV FOUL tee circulating. Shoutout to the homie Chris of Urban Journals on his brand. More on the IV FOUL brand coming soon.
Video: Ryan Leslie x Krys Ivory “I’ll Still Be Yours” In-Studio
We’re patiently waiting on another album R. Les, I missed that electric sound on the piano. Do you hear that ?
Music Monday: Cee Lo Green – Fuck You [Video]
Besides the beautifully created animated type, the song by Cee Lo is definitely a hit and easy to vibe to. The first time I heard it I said it was real jazzy. Friday night at Aunchies over drinks and social rhythm, the song came on and everyone broke out in song. Enjoy.

JadaKiss interview with Karen Civil
In this interview, Kiss briefly touches on working with Bow Wow on his next project, but that’s all talks. Looks like something to look into – Kiss producing. He also talks about the business, the industry is more a business than it is about making music. I hope to see a new Lox LP in the future. Biggups to Styles P, what you need a bunch of suites to sell your music for!
How y’all felt about the Last Kiss?
Video: Janelle Monae that girl from Kansas
Janelle has such an unique and timeless sound. Her songs are going to be played 10 years from now and going to be considered on of the best in the decade. Her music brings back that classic sound and mixes it with a contemporary vibe.
Video: 2 Sports Cars – Curt@!n$ feat. Dom Kennedy
Remarkable video to go with a remarkable take on the Wu classic. Curt@!n$ and Dom Kennedy drops some bars over Wu-Tang’s “The M.G.M”, if you don’t know some of the history. 2 Sports Cars is from Curt@!n$ tribute to the Wu called The Dissertation: Wu Thesis presented by Black Scale.

Pod Play: Red Cafe – Heart & Soul Of New York City
Brooklyn! WE DID IT… That’s how I feel when I hear a song like this from a Brooklyn artist. Jay was killing them with Empire State of Mind, and Red Cafe gives you Heart & Soul of New York City. Dunkers Delight in Wingate, what’s good? K1X added visuals to the Pete Rock produced song. Lyrics aside, I feel this way about anybody with a grind hard, keep grinding mentality coming out of Brooklyn. New York City, keep doing it!

Video: And He Gets The Girl – Lupe Fiasco
I recently stumbled across this video at PMD. It’s a classic Lupe without the “fear,” one of my favorites at that. The video was expressive, Matthew Metoyer does well with typography and use of visual-aids.
