New Music: Wiz Khalifa – “True Colors” Feat. Nicki Minaj

12 years ago view-show 4,032,171

Wiz and Nicki flirt with this pop rock stadium ballad all throughout. As their voices barely touch the drums, maybe they mean to reveal that the true colors of their artistry only peripherally involve rapping. It's also a coup that two artists who will be competing for sales with important late-year albums are teaming up for a song instead of beefing. Check out "True Colors" after the jump.

From his upcoming album Hell Can Wait, Vince Staples delivers his hardcore Long Beach flow over intimidating bass chords. It's like 2014 DJ Yella and NWA with faster rhymes and smoother instrumentation. Don't let the smooth taste fool you though. Check the track after the jump.

Probably couldn't be happier about this. iLoveMakonnen is an intriguing new artist whose-dripped out hustler howling turns up every one of his infectious songs. Drake is a wannabe crooner with notable rap skills and hits out the arse. We posted the video for "Tuesday" here if you want to check out the club lullaby. Drake remix after the jump.

Great to debate which is the best Carter now that The Carter V is on the way. This is the lead single and video from the latest Weezy effort. It puts him right at home in an asylum, struggling to spread his styles to the masses. So many styles. Admission to the crazy house after the jump.

New Music: VIc Mensa – “Wimme Nah”

Vic Mensa drops in a new track from his debut. It's the kind of frantic party rap anthem he has been striving for since creating his new template. It does a lot and heads nowhere, and the hangover disappears quickly.

A new Lil Wayne song that uses the Migos/Kevin Gates flow...to poor effect. Drake tries to save it with some of his lightness but it's so far gone that it might be a tragedy no matter the spin. Listen to the Young Money duo after the jump.

The elements of hip hop and its origins all appear in this video from GDot and Born. The duo stick to the script of signature boom bap and break beat. For lovers of the classic style, check the video after the jump.
