Rumor has it this is the first single from Lupe’s forthcoming Food & Liquor 2. (more…)

jGerson: My staff picks this week are sort of unordinary for me. Yes, I do have an affinity for underground hip-hop, but I never thought that I would be praising a Lecrae song.  I’ve actually been vibing with Lecrae since he caught me off guard on “Live & Let Live,” and he didn’t’ let me down with his latest video, “Church Clothes” which you can view below.

I can’t believe this actually went down.  After setting the web ablaze with his uncharacteristically funny song, “ifUrReadyToLearn” (aka “How Your P*ssy Works), Brian McKnight teamed up with the good folks over at FunnyOrDie.com to make this gem of a music video.  (more…)

Fresh off the release of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Vodka & Ayahuasca, super-producers The Alchemist and Oh No are back to making mind-altering, dreary, psychedelic hip-hop with their latest EP, The Odditorium. If you’re a fan of Al and Doc No, you won’t be disappointed by this extended play, which features the duo resurrecting Johnny Cash and Jim Morrison and giving them the “Otis” treatment. Gangrene (The Alchemist + Oh No)  Odditorium 1. “House Of Mirrors Intro” 2. “The Odditorium” – Stream 3. “Walk Hard” ft Johnny Cash – Stream 4. “The Great Frog Hunt” - Stream 5. “Fly Brothers” ft Jim Morrison – Stream

Just in time for G.O.O.D. Friday, Yeezy touches down with a prolific new single from the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation.  In my opinion Big Sean stole the show off the bat with lines like “white girls politicin’ – that’s that Sarah Palin” (sidenote: did he just coin the phrase “@ss tray”?).  Kanye’s part is sort of out there, to say the least but this is a pretty hot track.  If you like the stream below, you can go cop it on iTunes now. Kanye West “Mercy” ft Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz
